Glucose and Fatty Acid Metabolism in the Newborn Pig

  • Chapter
Advances in Swine in Biomedical Research

Abstract

In mammalian species, important modifications in several physiological functions and profound changes of nutrition occur during the perinatal period.1 In utero, the fetus is maintained at a controlled temperature and receives from its mother a continuous supply of nutrients and oxygen used for growth and oxidative metabolism. Fetal nutrition can be classified as a high carbohydrate, low fat diet. After birth, the maternal supply of nutrients ceases and newborns are fed at intervals with milk, which is a high fat, low carbohydrate diet. At birth, the gut becomes the natural route of nutrient delivery to the organism; its postnatal maturation and growth are rapid, especially in the pig,2 and associated with profound modifications in hemodynamics and a high local oxygenation3. As in most species, the newborn pig is exposed to a sudden 15 to 20C decrease in its thermal environment and must maintain its body temperature by shivering thermogenesis, as the piglet is devoid of brown adipose tissue.
