大弹涂鱼和中华乌塘鳢肠刷状缘膜消化酶活性的比较

采用酶学分析的方法,研究了大弹涂鱼和中华乌塘鳢肠刷状缘膜的麦芽糖酶、蔗糖酶、乳糖酶、海藻糖酶、纤维二糖酶、碱性磷酸酶、氨基肽酶和γ-谷氨酰转肽酶等8种消化酶的活性。结果表明:1)大弹涂鱼肠Ⅱ刷状缘膜的麦芽糖酶、蔗糖酶、乳糖酶、海藻糖酶和纤维二糖酶等5种二糖酶的比活力均显著高于肠Ⅰ和肠Ⅲ(P<0·05);中华乌塘鳢肠Ⅰ刷状缘膜除乳糖酶外,其余4种二糖酶的比活力均显著高于肠Ⅱ和肠Ⅲ(P<0·05);大弹涂鱼肠Ⅲ碱性磷酸酶、氨基肽酶和γ-谷氨酰转肽酶等3种消化酶的比活力均显著高于肠Ⅰ和肠Ⅱ(P<0·05);中华乌塘鳢肠Ⅱ的这3种消化酶的比活力均显著高于肠Ⅰ和肠Ⅲ(P<0·05);2)大弹涂鱼各段肠刷状缘膜的5种二糖酶的比活力均显著高于中华乌塘鳢(P<0·05),前者肠刷状缘膜碱性磷酸酶、氨基肽酶和γ-谷氨酰转肽酶等3种消化酶的比活力整体上也稍微高于后者。由此说明:8种消化酶的活性在大弹涂鱼和中华乌塘鳢肠刷状缘膜中的分布模式明显不同,大弹涂鱼和中华乌塘鳢对二糖的消化和吸收的主要部位分别是在肠Ⅱ和肠Ⅰ,而二者对蛋白质、脂类和无机盐等营养吸收的主要部位分别是在肠Ⅲ和肠Ⅱ;大弹涂鱼和中华乌塘鳢肠刷状缘膜的5种二糖酶的活性与两者的食性关系密切,而碱性磷酸酶、氨基肽酶和γ-谷氨酰转肽酶等3种消化酶的活性与两者的食性并无密切的相关性。     

大熊猫胃肠道中消化酶活力的分析

为了研究大熊猫对食物的化学性消化特点和机制,测定了9只大熊猫唾液和3只大熊猫胃肠道中主要消化酶的活力,并与其他动物进行了比较.结果显示,大熊猫唾液呈碱性,蛋白酶和淀粉酶等消化酶活力低;肠道中淀粉酶活力高,而脂肪酶活力明显低于棕熊.大熊猫小肠粘膜中存在显著量的蔗糖酶、乳糖酶和麦芽糖酶活力.另外,在1只大熊猫胃和直肠液中检测到了少量纤维素酶活力.研究结果提示,大熊猫唾液直接参与食物消化的作用可能很弱;大熊猫对淀粉类食物有很好的消化能力,但对脂肪类食物消化能力相对不高.大熊猫胃肠道消化酶的活力特点适应其消化天然食物中的营养物质.

春季树麻雀体内几种消化酶活性研究

应用酶学分析法测定了树麻雀Passer montanus春季的腺胃、肌胃、小肠、大肠、肝脏和胰脏组织中淀粉酶、蛋白酶和纤维素酶的活力.结果表明,不同组织中的消化酶活力差异显著,淀粉酶和蛋白酶以胰脏中活力最高,腺胃次之,纤维素酶均较低;同一组织中不同消化酶的活力差异显著,淀粉酶活性最高,蛋白酶次之,纤维素酶活力最低.这些差异提示消化酶活力大小与器官分化有关,并受食物组成的影响,因此产生了不同的酶活力分布.这是树麻雀长期适应东北地区寒冷环境的生存策略之一.

慈菇蛋白酶抑制剂对亚洲玉米螟消化酶的影响

亚洲玉米螟幼虫中肠消化酶主要为胰蛋白酶：利用慈菇蛋白酶抑制剂研究它对玉米螟消化酶的影响,发现这种抑制剂体外强烈抑制玉米螟幼虫中肠消化酶：同时我们又比较了长时间取食（三龄至五龄第二天）和短时间取食(四龄未取食48小时)抑制剂的幼虫体内胰蛋白酶活性,当它们短时间取食抑制剂后,体内消化酶水平迅速下降,取食更长时间时,胰蛋白酶活力下降更明显,仅为对照的27．2%。由此可见,慈菇蛋白酶抑制剂严重影响了玉米螟的正常消化,阻断了玉米螟营养与食物间的联系．使玉米螟生长发育不良。     

饲喂四环素和链霉素对贡嘎蝠蛾幼虫生长和肠道消化酶的影响

以抗生素(四环素和链霉素)处理的食物饲喂贡嘎蝠蛾Hepjalus gonggaensis Fu & Huang,sd.nov.4龄幼虫1个月后,肠道主要消化酶的种类和酶活都发生了显著变化。经测定知,淀粉酶和蛋白酶是4龄幼虫主要的消化酶,其次为海藻糖酶、麦芽糖酶和纤维素酶。经抗生素处理的食物饲喂后,与正常对照相比,抗生素处理的幼虫体重增长百分比显著降低(P<0.01),所测的消化酶酶活比对照也显著降低(P<0.01)。另外,肠道内原有的半纤维素酶和纤维素酶在抗生素处理后没有检测出酶活。据此认为,抗生素可能对幼虫生长有毒害作用。其原因可能是抗生素长期使用导致肠道菌群紊乱,消化生理发生改变,从而导致一些消化酶活性下降甚至完全失去活性。     

饵料系列对军曹鱼仔鱼生长、消化酶活力和体成分的影响

饵料是鱼类早期发育最重要的条件之一,并且随着个体发育,饵料类别不断变化。为了评定各种饵料的效果并筛选得到军曹鱼仔鱼早期发育阶段适宜的饵料组合,进行了本实验。军曹鱼仔鱼在750L桶中孵出并暂养2d,然后在水泥池中培育4d（3—6日龄）,并投喂轮虫;在第7日龄,将240尾仔鱼随机平均分配至12个70L桶中,共分4组,每组3桶;7—15日龄,4组仔鱼分别投喂轮虫、卤虫无节幼体、桡足类和桡足类投;16—42日龄,分别投喂轮虫、卤虫无节幼体、桡足类和鱼糜。第42日龄,将全部仔鱼取样、称重并于-80℃保存备用。鱼体匀浆、离心后的上清液作为粗酶液用以测定蛋白酶、淀粉酶和脂肪酶等消化酶活力,还测定了粗蛋白、粗脂肪等主要体成分,并统计了生长指标。结果表明：（1）组IV的生长表现最佳;（2）组III的成活率最高;（3）饵料对三种酶的活力和体成分都有极显著的影响;（4）组III的蛋白酶活力、组I的淀粉酶活力和脂肪酶活力最高,尤其是组I的淀粉酶活力比其他各组高出6.8—11.9倍;（5）各组鱼体的粗蛋白含量均较相应饵料的低,而粗脂肪含量则比饵料的高。因此,可以认为：仔鱼长期饥饿时,消化酶可能存在补偿性分泌,并优先利用糖类和脂肪作为能源;军曹鱼仔鱼对脂肪的沉积效率较蛋白高。     

西江鲤仔稚鱼生长及消化酶活性变化

为了探究了鲤(Cyprinus carpio)仔稚鱼的生长过程中主要消化酶活性变化规律, 实验测定了鲤从孵化出膜到40 日龄(日龄, Day after hatching)仔稚鱼期间的生长、可溶性蛋白含量和几种消化酶活性变化。结果显示: 仔稚鱼全长以及体重在15 日龄后增速加快, 特定生长率为14.81%。淀粉酶、脂肪酶、胰蛋白酶, 糜乳蛋白酶、碱性磷酸酶以及氨基肽酶在1 日龄仔鱼体内均能检测到活性。在仔稚鱼发育过程中, 其可溶性蛋白含量先下降后上升。仔鱼摄食前消化酶的活性出现一定的上升, 随着仔稚鱼消化系统发育以及营养方式的转变, 其消化酶活性从3到25 日龄处于不断的变化状态, 而25 日龄到实验结束鲤仔稚鱼的消化酶处于一种相对稳定的状态, 标志着其消化功能趋于完善。根据不同发育时期鲤消化酶活性的变化, 设计有机可腐化的材料制备人工鱼巢以提高人工鱼巢的生态修复功能, 降低饥饿对仔稚鱼成活率的影响。     

Carbohydrase activities in the bovine digestive tract

1. The carbohydrase activities of homogenates of mucosa from the abomasum, small intestine, caecum and colon, and of the pancreas of cattle were studied. 2. The disaccharidase activities were located mainly in the small intestine and showed a non-uniform pattern of distribution along the small intestine; trehalase activity was highest in the proximal part, lactase and cellobiase activities were highest in the proximal and middle parts and maltase activity was highest in the distal part. 3. The intestinal lactase and cellobiase activities were highest in the young calf and decreased with age, whereas the intestinal maltase and trehalase activities, which were very low compared with the lactase activity, did not change with age. 4. No intestinal sucrase or palatinase activity was detected in the calf or in the adult cow. 5. Homogenates of intestinal mucosa also exhibited amylase and dextranase activity. 6. Homogenates of the pancreas possessed a strong amylase activity and a weak maltase activity. The maltase activity did not change with age, whereas the amylase activity increased with age. 7. No marked differences were observed between the carbohydrase activities of calves fed solely on milk and those of calves given a concentrate-hay diet from 6 weeks of age.     

Disaccharidases in the small intestine of the mouse: normal development and influence of cortisone, actinomycin D, and cycloheximide

The development of maltase, sucrase, and lactase activity has been examined in the small intestine of the mouse. After increasing during 2 days before birth, maltase remains unchanged for 14 days, after which activity surges up throughout the intestine. Sucrase is absent during the first 14 days, but then rises in a pattern similar to, but distinct from, that for maltase. Both enzymes rise faster in the proximal third of the intestine than in the terminal third. Lactase, which is high in the infant intestine, falls after 12 days in the proximal segment, but only after 16 days in the more posterior segments.Cortisone administered at 8 days causes a rise of maltase activity that continues for at least 72 hours. At 4 days the same treatment causes an increase that ceases after 48 hours. Sucrase activity is elicited by cortisone at 8 days but not at 4 days. Between 10 and 13 days both actinomycin D and cycloheximide evoke significant increases of both maltase and sucrase activity in all regions of the intestine. When administered in concert with cortisone, actinomycin D inhibits, but does not prevent, the stimulatory influence of the hormone on sucrase; with maltase activity, significant inhibition occurs only in the middle third of the intestine. Cycloheximide does not interfere with the effects of cortisone. No additive effects between hormone and antibiotics were obtained.These results are discussed in relation to results of similar studies on intestinal alkaline phosphatase and leucylnaphthylamidase.     

Intestinal lactase (beta-galactosidase) and other glycosidase activities in suckling and adult tammar wallabies (Macropus eugenii)

The activities of various glycosidases in homogenates of the small intestinal mucosa of two adult and 18 suckling tammar wallabies (M. eugenii) aged from 6 to 50 weeks were investigated. Lactase (beta-D-galactosidase), beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase, alpha-L-fucosidase and neuraminidase activities were high during the first 34 weeks post partum and then declined to very low levels. Maltase, isomaltase, sucrase and trehalase activities were very low or absent during the first 34 weeks, and then increased. The lactase activity was unusual in being greater in the distal than the middle or proximal thirds of the intestine, and in its low pH optimum (pH 4.6), inhibition by p-chloromercuribenzene sulfonate but not by Tris, and lack of cellobiase activity. These properties are those of a lysosomal acid beta-galactosidase rather than of a brush border neutral lactase. The maltase activity had the characteristics of a lysosomal acid alpha-glucosidase early in lactation and of a brush border neutral maltase in adult animals. The significance of these findings is discussed in relation to changes in dietary carbohydrates during weaning and to the mode of digestion of milk carbohydrates by the pouch young.     

Insulin-evoked precocious appearance of intestinal sucrase activity in suckling mice.

The effect of insulin (12.5 mU/g body wt/day) on the ontogeny of intestinal sucrase has been studied in suckling mice. Sucrase activity normally appears along the entire small intestine between the 14th and 16th days after birth. The hormonal treatments begin at 8 days and the response of sucrase to one or three injections of hormone is subsequently analyzed in the proximal, middle, and distal intestinal thirds. Three injections of insulin provoke a precocious appearance of sucrase in all intestinal parts, the proximal third exhibiting the highest sucrase activity. Twenty-four hours after a single injection of insulin, sucrase activity can already be detected along the entire small intestine. During the second and third days, the activities observed in the different parts of the small intestine remain stable. These data show that insulin is able to provoke a premature appearance of sucrase activity and appears to play a previously unsuspected role in intestinal maturation.     

The fetal and postnatal development of small intestinal disaccharidases in the rabbit

The development of small intestinal enzymes (lactase, acid- and hetero beta-galactosidases, cellobiase, maltase, trehalase, and sucrase) was studied from 18 days after conception until birth in 24 rabbit fetuses, and during the postnatal period in 15 newborn, juvenile, and adult rabbits. Lactase, acid- and hetero beta-galactosidases, cellobiase, and trehalase activities increased significantly during the fetal stage, while changes in sucrase and maltase activities were not substantial. In the postnatal period, lactase and cellobiase activities decreased significantly whereas maltase, sucrase, and trehalase activities increased significantly to reach adult values by 30 days of age. The acid- and hetero beta-galactosidases remained unchanged.     

Effects of urogastrone-epidermal growth factor and age at administration on five enzymes in the small intestine of suckling rats.

Suckling rats were given urogastrone-epidermal growth factor (EGF: 1,000 micrograms/kg body weight) or vehicle by gavage at one of three stages of development: 8 to 10, 11 to 13 or 14 to 16 days of age. Intubation was carried out at 8-hourly intervals over these periods. Fourteen to 16 h after the last intubation the rats were killed; that is, at 11, 14 and 17 days respectively. Samples of proximal and distal small intestine (SI) were taken for enzyme analysis. Five enzymes were assayed; sucrase, lactase, gamma-glutamyl transferase, alkaline phosphatase and neutral amino-peptidase, and their activities expressed per g protein. Treatment with EGF had no effect on body weight or on the length of the small intestine at any age. The nature of the effects on enzyme activities depended on the specific enzyme concerned, the site within the small intestine and the timing of the treatment. Lactase was increased by EGF at both sites only on day 14, whereas gamma-glutamyl transferase was increased in proximal samples at 11 and 14 days, and in distal samples at 17 days. Nor was the outcome always to increase activity. On day 11 alkaline phosphatase was increased in proximal SI, but decreased in distal SI; and so too was aminopeptidase N decreased in distal SI at 11 days. Sucrase showed no response at all. The pattern is complex. Certainly it does not indicate accelerated functional maturation.     

Autonomous biochemical and morphological differentiation in fetal rat intestine transplanted at 17 and 20 days of gestation

The morphological and biochemical development of fetal rat intestine was examined for up to 5 weeks following transplantation to syngeneic hosts at 17 and 20 days of gestation. In transplants of both ages, normal villi bearing mature enterocytes developed. In addition, the disaccharidases lactase, maltase, and sucrase, as well as alkaline phosphatase, underwent normal patterns of development. Lactase activity, initially high, fell significantly, while maltase and sucrase activities increased significantly in the interval between 2 and 5 weeks following transplantation. During this same period, alkaline phosphatase developed the proximally located, high-activity form. The transplanted intestine also developed normal topographical distributions of enzyme activities. Measurement of corticosterone levels demonstrated that, except for a transient upsurge at the time of operation, hormone levels did not change significantly during the period of transplant maturation. These data indicate that the brush-border enzymes of the small intestine develop according to an intrinsic program which is already established as early as 17 days of gestation.     

Intestinal neuraminidase activity of suckling rats and other mammals. Relationship to the sialic acid content of milk.

1. The neuraminidase activity of homogenates of the mucosa of the middle and distal thirds of the small intestine of rats increased about 5-fold between birth and 4 to 8 days of age, and then gradually declined to the much lower adult activity by 24 days. No comparable changes occurred in the proximal third. 2. In 8-day-old rats, the neuraminidase activity of the middle and distal thirds of the small intestine was about 10 times greater than that of the proximal third, 20 times greater than that of the colon and at least 100 times greater than that of the liver, brain, gastric mucosa or pancreas. 3. In all other species investigated (mice, rabbits, cats and guinea pigs), the neuraminidase activity of the middle and distal thirds of the small intestine was greater in suckling animals than in adults. 4. The sialic acid content of rat milk increased about 2-fold between birth and 8 days post partum and then declined. 5. There was a highly significant positive correlation between the intestinal neuraminidase activity of suckling animals of various species and ages and the sialic acid content of milk obtained from the corresponding species and stage of lactation. 6. It is suggested that the intestinal neuraminidase of suckling mammals functions primarily to remove sialic acid from various components of milk, thus providing sialic acid for the synthesis of sialoglycoproteins and gangliosides by the young.     

Insulin accelerates the development of intestinal brush border hydrolytic activities of suckling mice

The influence of insulin on the postnatal development of intestinal brush border membrane disaccharidase (sucrase, maltase, trehalase, lactase) and peptidase (leucylnaphthylamidase, γ-glutamyltranspeptidase) activities has been studied in mice. At 8 days of age, the animals received either 5, 10, or 12.5 mU insulin/g body wt/day during 3 days. A premature appearance of sucrase activity was noted, the level of sucrase activity being dependent of the amount of insulin injected. Maltase and lactase activities were both increased while trehalase activity was affected only by the highest dose of insulin. The behavior of the two peptidases was quite different as γ-glutamyltranspeptidase was prematurely increased and leucylnaphthylamidase was unaffected by insulin. The hormonal effect is exerted along the entire small intestine. The time course of the responses of the disaccharidases in relationship to cellular migration along the crypt-villus axis has also been studied. By 24 hr after administration of a single injection of 12.5 mU insulin/g body wt, sucrase activity was already present and an increased maltase and trehalase activities were observed. During the subsequent 72 hr no further increase of enzymatic activity was noted even though the epithelial cells are moving up on the villi at a faster rate than in controls, thus indicating that there is no relationship between the enzymatic responses and the cellular migration. The present data show that a premature increase of the circulating level of insulin influences the development of intestinal mucosa in suckling mouse.     

Precocious alteration of digestive enzyme activities in small intestine and pancreas by chronic oral administration of protease inhibitor in suckling rats.

1. The role of endogenous CCK in the development of digestive enzyme activities in small intestine and pancreas was investigated in suckling rats. Synthetic protease inhibitor (camostat 100 micrograms/g bwt) was orally administered twice daily for 5 days from 11 days of age. 2. Pancreatic hypertrophy and hyperplasia, and alteration of pancreatic enzyme composition, especially decreases in amylase activity and increases in trypsin and chymotrypsin activities were produced by camostat treatment. These changes were completely suppressed by simultaneous administration of the potent CCK receptor antagonist L-364,718 (1 microgram/g bwt). 3. With camostat treatment, intestinal lactase activity decreased to 41%, while maltase and sucrase activities increased 3 and 2.5 times respectively. These changes in enzyme activities were not affected by the application of L-364,718. 4. The mucosal disaccharidase and pancreatic enzyme activities could not be modified by chronic subcutaneous injection of camostat. The precocious induction of maltase and sucrase activities by camostat treatment was also observed in the adrenalectomized pups. 5. These results indicate that pancreatic growth accompanied by alteration of digestive enzyme composition in the suckling rats is regulated by endogenous CCK, but the precocious induction of disaccharidase activities is not mediated by endogenous CCK released by camostat treatment.
