Sex steroids interfere with the pituitary-thyroid axis function, although the reports have been controversial and no conclusive data is available. Some previous reports indicate that estradiol might also regulate thyroid function through a direct action on the thyrocytes. In this report, we examined the effects of low and high doses of estradiol administered to control and ovariectomized adult female rats and to pre-pubertal females. We demonstrate that estradiol administration to both intact adult and pre-pubertal females causes a significant increase in the relative thyroid weight. Serum T3 is significantly decreased in ovariectomized rats, and is normalized by estrogen replacement. Neither doses of estrogen produced a significant change in serum TSH and total T4 in ovariectomized, adult intact and pre-pubertal rats. The highest, supraphysiological, estradiol dose produced a significant increase in thyroid iodide uptake in ovariectomized and in pre-pubertal rats, but not in control adult females. Thyroperoxidase activity was significantly higher in intact adult rats treated with both estradiol doses and in ovariectomized rats treated with the highest estradiol dose. Since serum TSH levels were not significantly changed, we suggest a direct action of estradiol on the thyroid gland, which depends on the age and on the previous gonad status of the animal. 相似文献

A novel strontium compound has been synthesized by the reaction of fructose-1,6-diphosphate with strontium (Sr-FDP). The compound was characterized and confirmed with elemental analyses and spectroscopic (IR, NMR) methods. The pharmacokinetic profiles of Sr-FDP were investigated in Sprague-Dawley rats following oral administration at a dose of 110, 220, and 440 mg/kg respectively. Pharmacokinetic differences were also compared in intact rats and ovariectomized rats with and without estrogen supplement. Strontium concentrations in plasma, urine, tissue and feces were determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectroscopy (GFAAS). The results showed that Sr-FDP was absorbed rapidly with Tmax < 1 h in all the groups with AUC0-∞ proportional to the oral dose. The pharmacokinetic profiles were characterized by long half-life, a large apparent volume of distribution. The highest Sr concentration was observed in the bone at 6 h, and the level of Sr decreased close to the baseline in heart, liver, spleen, lung, intestine, brain and kidney after 12 h. The cumulative amounts of Sr over 96 h were found to be ~ 3% in urine, but ~ 70% in feces suggesting that the parent drug was mainly excreted from the intestine. The Cmax and AUC0-∞ of Sr-FDP in ovariectomized rats were significantly decreased compared to those in intact rats, and this trend was ameliorated by using 17-beta-estradiol (E2) treatment in the ovariectomized rats. 相似文献

A study was conducted to determine the effect of unilateral ovariectomy (ULO) on follicle stimulating hormone (FSH) secretion and compensatory ovarian hypertrophy in prepubertal ewes. Thirty-three ewe lambs were allotted according to age and weight to a control (C) or ULO group. In the C group, a sham ovariectomy was performed on day 0 and both ovaries were removed on day 7. In the ULO group, one ovary was removed on day 0 and the remaining ovary was removed on day 7. Blood samples were collected from the jugular vein via venipuncture at 0, 6, 12 and 24 hours after the time of sham surgery or ULO (day 0). Subsequent samples were collected daily until day 7, and all samples were assayed for FSH and LH. Unilateral ovariectomy increased (P<0.01) ovarian weight and follicular fluid weight; however, lyophilized ovarian weight was similar for both groups. Within the ULO group, removal of the ovary having the largest follicle(s) did not prevent an increase in ovarian weight or follicular fluid weight of the remaining ovary. Unilateral ovariectomy had no effect on the total number of follicles (1 to 6 mm) per ovary; however, the number of large (5 to 6 mm) follicles per ovary was increased (P<0.05) following ULO. By 12 hours after ULO there was a transient increase (P<0.05) in the circulating concentrations of FSH. Circulating concentrations of luteinizing hormone (LH) were either low or undetectable in these prepubertal ewes and no LH response was observed following ULO. These results indicate that compensatory ovarian hypertrophy in ULO prepubertal ewes is accompanied by a transient rise in circulating FSH concentrations. 相似文献

The structure and function of thyroid C cells were studied in ovariectomized (Ovx) adult female rats without and after chronic treatment with estradiol dipropionate (EDP). A peroxidase–antiperoxidase method was applied for localization of calcitonin (CT) in the C cells. Morphometric changes in their volume, nuclei, and relative volume density were evaluated in comparison with sham-operated control rats using a stereological method. The number of C cells was calculated. CT content in the sera was determined by radioimmunoassay. Ovariectomy (Ovx) led to a 21% increase in body weight (P<0.005), while treatment of Ovx rats with EDP decreased body weight by 25% (P<0.01). The immunoreactivity for CT in C cells of the Ovx rats was markedly increased. Significant decreases in the volume of C cells (by 13%; P<0.05) and serum CT (by 45%) were recorded, while the C cell number increased by 59% (P<0.05) in relation to the corresponding controls. The treatment of Ovx rats with EDP caused conspicuous degranulation of the C cells. The cellular volume was increased by 11% and serum CT by 36% in comparison with Ovx animals. At the same time a decrease in C cell number by 29% (P<0.05) was evident. It may be concluded that estradiol deficiency after Ovx reduced the synthesis and release of CT, while chronic treatment of these animals with EDP had a positive effect on the secretory activity of thyroid C cells. 相似文献

Aging is characterized by a progressive deterioration of motor function related to dysfunctions of the nigrostriatal system. Because estrogen has been reported to protect dopaminergic neurons and to improve the motor deficits associated with Parkinson's disease, we hypothesized that it would partially reverse the age-related decline of motor function in normal aging. We tested the effects of estrogen treatment and withdrawal on fine motor performance in five aged (21-24 years old) and five young (6-9 years old) ovariectomized female rhesus monkeys. The tests required the monkeys to use each hand to retrieve a Life Saver candy from metal rods bent in shapes of different complexity. Monkeys were tested twice a week for 8 consecutive weeks, during treatment with placebo or ethinyl estradiol (EE(2)) in alternating 14-day blocks. Each behavioral test was videotaped and subsequently scored for the duration and the success of the first trial on each shape. Both groups of monkeys improved rapidly with practice in speed and success of retrieval. The older monkeys were slower but as successful as the young monkeys in retrieving the candy. The left hand was faster than the right hand for both the aged and young females. We failed to detect any effect of EE(2) treatment on speed or success of retrieval in either group. These results confirm the slowing of fine motor performance with aging in female rhesus monkeys. They also indicate that estradiol, at least as administered in this study, does not benefit fine manual performance. 相似文献

Resistin, a hormone secreted by adipocytes, is suggested to be an important link between obesity and diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate the regulatory effect of estrogen on adipocyte resistin gene expression in ovariectomized (OVX) rats and in isolated rat adipocytes in vitro. Subcutaneous injection of estradiol benzoate reduced resistin mRNA levels in adipocytes isolated from the inguinal, parametrial, perirenal, retroperitoneal, or periovarian fat deposits of OVX rats, while an in vitro study showed that estradiol treatment decreased resistin mRNA levels in cultured rat periovarian fat adipocytes. Results of Western blotting analysis also showed that estrogen decreased adipose resistin contents in vivo and in vitro. These data suggest that estrogen is a pivotal negative regulator of resistin gene expression. 相似文献

Summary Pinealocytes of rhesus monkeys that had been ovariectomized and given intramuscular injections of 250 g estradiol-benzoate for 3 consecutive days tended to have more synaptic ribbons (SR) and exhibited a significantly greater size of ribbon fields (RF) compared to untreated animals. These data are consistent with hypotheses that pinealocyte function in primates is altered by hormonal imbalances and that the SR participates in this response. RF were positioned in various parts of the cytoplasm and along the plasma membrane. Participation of SR in direct cell-to-cell contacts was suggested by the formation of densities along the plasma membrane. It is postulated that large RF serve as storage organelles and that the formation of RF results from division of pre-existing SR in each field. Reconstructions made from serial thin sections revealed that profiles of RF comprised separate SR that were not folded and sectioned along various planes. 相似文献

Sex hormones contribute to the pathogenesis of osteoarthritis (OA) in both sexes. OA is normally not seen in pre-menopausal women, whereas men may develop the disease as early as the 30th year of life. OA also shows increased incidence in association with diseases such as diabetes mellitus. Recent years have seen characterization of essential components of a functional endocrinal network in the articular cartilage comprising not only sex hormones but apparently insulin, growth factors and various peptides as well. In this review, we summarize the latest information regarding the influence of sex hormones, insulin, growth factors and some peptides on healthy cartilage and their involvement in osteoarthritis. Both animal and human research data were considered. The results are presented in an information matrix that identifies what is known, with supporting references, and identifies areas for further investigation. 相似文献

Obesity leads to increases in inflammatory responses in a site-specific manner. Ovariectomized animals, usually used as menopause models, exhibit obesity; however, their inflammatory responses have not been fully examined. In the present study, we investigated whether ovariectomy had site-specific effects on inflammatory responses. First, fever and anorectic responses to systemic injections of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (500 μg/kg, i.p.) were compared between ovariectomized rats (OVX) and sham-operated female rats (Sham). Inflammatory cytokines at the central and peripheral levels were also compared under saline-injected and LPS-injected conditions. Body weight in OVX was significantly higher than in Sham. The anorectic responses (reduction of body weight and food intake) to LPS were higher in OVX than in Sham. In the hypothalamus, all of the examined cytokine (IL-1β, TNF-α and IL-6) mRNA levels in OVX were higher than in Sham under the LPS-injected condition. On the other hand, in serum and adipose tissue, only IL-6, not IL-1β and TNF-α, levels in OVX were significantly higher than those in Sham under the LPS-injected condition. Second, responses to central (intracerebroventricular) injections of LPS (500 ng) were compared between OVX and Sham. The result was that the fever response in OVX was more evident than in Sham. Finally, responses to systemic injections of LPS (500 μg/kg, i.p.) were compared between OVX (OVX-oil) and OVX with estradiol (E) and progesterone (P) supplementation (OVX-EP). The anorectic responses and hypothalamic cytokine mRNA levels under LPS-injected condition were not different between OVX-oil and OVX-EP. These results indicate that ovariectomy enhances inflammatory responses, especially at the central level compared with the peripheral level. As supplementation of E and P could not attenuate the anorectic and cytokine responses to LPS, the deficiency of gonadal steroids might not be directly involved in the increase of inflammatory responses in OVX. 相似文献
