Brown adipose tissue (BAT) is an essential mediator of thermogenesis in many species and is responsible for 50% of the heat generated in the newborn lamb. To determine if maternal arginine supplementation could enhance thermogenesis in the neonate, we randomly assigned 31 multiparous Suffolk ewes, gestating singletons or twins, to receive intravenous injections of either l-arginine (27 mg\/kg body weight; n = 17) or sterile saline (n = 14) three times daily from day 75 to 125 of gestation (term = 147). Following parturition, lambs were removed from their mothers and subjected to 0 \u00b0C cold challenges at 4 and 22 h of age. Rectal temperatures were higher for the duration of the cold challenges in lambs from arginine-treated ewes compared with lambs from saline-treated ewes (P &amp;lt; 0.05). Elevated rectal temperatures were associated with increased (P &amp;lt; 0.05) circulating glycine and serine concentrations in lambs. The mRNA expression of genes related to BAT function changed over time, but not between lambs from arginine-treated vs. saline-treated ewes. Results indicate that maternal arginine treatment increases neonatal thermogenesis after birth. Although the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated, these data are a first step in improving neonatal survival in response to cold.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1093\/jas\/skaa118","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,13]],"date-time":"2020-04-13T17:35:34Z","timestamp":1586799334000},"source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":13,"title":["Maternal arginine supplementation enhances thermogenesis in the newborn lamb"],"prefix":"10.1093","volume":"98","author":[{"given":"Sorin M","family":"McKnight","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rebecca M","family":"Simmons","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8058-6969","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guoyao","family":"Wu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"M Carey","family":"Satterfield","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Animal Science, Texas A&M University, College Station, TX"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"286","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,4,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"2020071514424652400_CIT0001","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"489","DOI":"10.1071\/BI9780489","article-title":"Quantitative development of adipose tissue in foetal sheep","volume":"31","author":"Alexander","year":"1978","journal-title":"Aust.
