急性肝损伤大鼠模型的血浆氨基酸代谢变化模式

以Ｄ－氨基半乳糖（Ｄ－Ｇａｌａｃｔｏｓａｍｉｎｅ,Ｄ－ＧａｌＮ）造成急性肝损伤（急性肝炎、急性肝坏死）大鼠模型后、对照观察了急性肝损伤大鼠血浆氨基酸的变化,建立了大鼠急性肝损伤时血浆氨基酸的变化模式并对其发生机理进行了探讨。大鼠血浆氨基酸的测定采用聚酰薄层荧光分析技术,其测定结果是：急性肝炎组,酪氨酸（Ｔｙｒ）、天冬氨酸（Ａｓｐ）、谷氨酰胺（Ｇｌｎ）和鸟氨酸（Ｏｒｎ）升高,精氨酸（Ａｒｇ）下降,其余氨基酸无显著变化。急性肝坏死组,除Ａｒｇ显著下降外,其余所有氨基酸都显著升高,而两组支链氨基酸（ＢＣＡＡ）／芳香族氨基酸（ＡＡＡ）克分子比值均显著下降。

用HPLC证实单糖在酸性处理中的变化

<正> 在碱性条件下,醛糖与酮糖之间会发生结构互变。然而美国学者Feather M S等经过十多年的研究,发现在酸性条件下,葡萄糖、甘露糖和果糖之间也有分子内的互变,并应用~3H放射标记等技术,提出了互变的反应机理,这一互变的存在给寡糖及多糖的组份分析带来了一个问题,即用酸性条件水解寡糖或多糖后,如何确定其中的葡萄糖、甘露糖或果糖

巨噬细胞对正常人极低密度脂蛋白亚组分代谢的研究

本文研究了小鼠腹腔巨噬细胞对正常人极低密度脂蛋白(N-VLDL)两种亚组分VLDL_1和VLDL_3的代谢。两种亚组分都能以受体方式和非特异性方式被巨噬细胞摄取和降解。在受体途径中以VLDL_1的摄入量居多。对胞内甘油三酯(TG)的堆积作用以VLDL_1较强,对胆固醇酶(CE)的堆积则以VLDL_3较强。表明两者在促进巨噬细胞向泡沫细胞转变中的作用有所不同。     

Nitrogen addition promotes terrestrial plants to allocate more biomass to aboveground organs: A global meta-analysis

A significant increase in reactive nitrogen (N) added to terrestrial ecosystems through agricultural fertilization or atmospheric deposition is considered to be one of the most widespread drivers of global change. Modifying biomass allocation is one primary strategy for maximizing plant growth rate, survival, and adaptability to various biotic and abiotic stresses. However, there is much uncertainty as to whether and how plant biomass allocation strategies change in response to increased N inputs in terrestrial ecosystems. Here, we synthesized 3516 paired observations of plant biomass and their components related to N additions across terrestrial ecosystems worldwide. Our meta-analysis reveals that N addition (ranging from 1.08 to 113.81 g m⁻² year⁻¹) increased terrestrial plant biomass by 55.6% on average. N addition has increased plant stem mass fraction, shoot mass fraction, and leaf mass fraction by 13.8%, 12.9%, and 13.4%, respectively, but with an associated decrease in plant reproductive mass (including flower and fruit biomass) fraction by 3.4%. We further documented a reduction in plant root-shoot ratio and root mass fraction by 27% (21.8%–32.1%) and 14.7% (11.6%–17.8%), respectively, in response to N addition. Meta-regression results showed that N addition effects on plant biomass were positively correlated with mean annual temperature, soil available phosphorus, soil total potassium, specific leaf area, and leaf area per plant. Nevertheless, they were negatively correlated with soil total N, leaf carbon/N ratio, leaf carbon and N content per leaf area, as well as the amount and duration of N addition. In summary, our meta-analysis suggests that N addition may alter terrestrial plant biomass allocation strategies, leading to more biomass being allocated to aboveground organs than belowground organs and growth versus reproductive trade-offs. At the global scale, leaf functional traits may dictate how plant species change their biomass allocation pattern in response to N addition.     

Extinction risk of Chinese angiosperms varies between woody and herbaceous species

Aim

Understanding how species' traits and environmental contexts relate to extinction risk is a critical priority for ecology and conservation biology. This study aims to identify and explore factors related to extinction risk between herbaceous and woody angiosperms to facilitate more effective conservation and management strategies and understand the interactions between environmental threats and species' traits.

Location

China.

Taxon

Angiosperms.

Methods

We obtained a large dataset including five traits, six extrinsic variables, and 796,118 occurrence records for 14,888 Chinese angiosperms. We assessed the phylogenetic signal and used phylogenetic generalized least squares regressions to explore relationships between extinction risk, plant traits, and extrinsic variables in woody and herbaceous angiosperms. We also used phylogenetic path analysis to evaluate causal relationships among traits, climate variables, and extinction risk of different growth forms.

Results

The phylogenetic signal of extinction risk differed among woody and herbaceous species. Angiosperm extinction risk was mainly affected by growth form, altitude, mean annual temperature, normalized difference vegetation index, and precipitation change from 1901 to 2020. Woody species' extinction risk was strongly affected by height and precipitation, whereas extinction risk for herbaceous species was mainly affected by mean annual temperature rather than plant traits.

Main conclusions

Woody species were more likely to have higher extinction risks than herbaceous species under climate change and extinction threat levels varied with both plant traits and extrinsic variables. The relationships we uncovered may help identify and protect threatened plant species and the ecosystems that rely on them.
