A newly synthetic chromium complex--chromium(phenylalanine)3 improves insulin responsiveness and reduces whole body glucose tolerance 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Low-molecular-weight organic chromium complexes such as chromium picolinate are often used as dietary supplements to improve insulin sensitivity and to correct dyslipidemia. However, toxicity associated with such chromium compounds has compromised their therapeutic value. The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of a newly synthesized complex of chromium with phenylalanine, Cr(pa)3 on insulin-signaling and glucose tolerance. Cr(pa)3 was synthesized by chelating chromium(III) with D-phenylalanine ligand in aqueous solution. In mouse 3T3-adipocytes, Cr(pa)3 augmented insulin-stimulated glucose-uptake as assessed by a radioactive-glucose uptake assay. At the molecular level, Cr(pa)3 enhanced insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of Akt in a time- and concentration-dependent manner without altering the phosphorylation of insulin receptor. Oral treatment with Cr(pa)3 (150 microg/kg/d, for six weeks) in ob/ob+/+ obese mice significantly alleviated glucose tolerance compared with untreated obese mice. Unlike chromium picolinate, Cr(pa)3 does not cleave DNA under physiological reducing conditions. Collectively, these data suggest that Cr(pa)3 may represent a novel, less-toxic chromium supplement with potential therapeutic value to improve insulin sensitivity and glycemic control in type II diabetes. 相似文献

Domestic chickens (Gallus gallus domesticus) fulfill various roles ranging from food and entertainment to religion and ornamentation. To survey its genetic diversity and trace the history of domestication, we investigated a total of 4938 mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) fragments including 2843 previously published and 2095 de novo units from 2044 domestic chickens and 51 red junglefowl (Gallus gallus). To obtain the highest possible level of molecular resolution, 50 representative samples were further selected for total mtDNA genome sequencing. A fine-gained mtDNA phylogeny was investigated by defining haplogroups A–I and W–Z. Common haplogroups A–G were shared by domestic chickens and red junglefowl. Rare haplogroups H–I and W–Z were specific to domestic chickens and red junglefowl, respectively. We re-evaluated the global mtDNA profiles of chickens. The geographic distribution for each of major haplogroups was examined. Our results revealed new complexities of history in chicken domestication because in the phylogeny lineages from the red junglefowl were mingled with those of the domestic chickens. Several local domestication events in South Asia, Southwest China and Southeast Asia were identified. The assessment of chicken mtDNA data also facilitated our understanding about the Austronesian settlement in the Pacific. 相似文献

Abstract The application of talc-formulation through seed, seed treatment plus foliar spray and foliar spray alone significantly reduced the leaf blight incidence both under greenhouse and field conditions. The groundnut plants treated with biocontrol agent and challenge inoculated with Alternaria alternata recorded significantly increased activity of Peroxidase isozyme (PO), Polyphenol oxidase isozymes (PPO) activity. Expression of PO2, PPO1 and PPO2 isoforms were found in all the plants treated with Pf1 while additional PO1, PPO3, PPO4 and PPO5 were observed in Pf1-treated plants followed by challenge inoculation with the pathogen. 相似文献

Bulk seedlots of two unpedigreed multiprovenance seed production areas (SPAs) each of Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Eucalyptus tereticornis and one pedigreed seedling seed orchard (SSO) of E. tereticornis were planted in genetic gain trials at three southern Indian trial sites. At the time of seed collection, fewer than 30%
trees flowered in these orchards, except in one E. camaldulensis SPA where 73% of the trees flowered, which had an estimated outcrossing rate of 86%. The E. tereticornis SSO was dominated by pollen from five highly fecund families of the Indian Mysore gum land race, which contributed 59% of
the fruits produced. The SPA and SSO seedlots were compared with a bulked natural-provenance seedlot of E. camaldulensis (Morehead, Laura, and Kennedy Rivers, Queensland), another natural-provenance seedlot (Petford, Queensland), commercial eucalypt
clones at two sites, and a Mysore gum seedlot at one site. At 3 years, progeny from all the four SPAs displayed good survival
(79–93%) and performance similar to that of the natural provenances and the commercial clones. Progeny from the E. tereticornis SSO had significantly lower growth (at two sites) and lower survival at all three test sites. The Mysore gum seedlot displayed
high fecundity and lower growth but better survival than the SSO progeny. Seed orchard genetic composition and flowering contributions
thus affected progeny performance and the extent to which orchard genetic diversity was captured in the progeny. SPA progeny
displayed greater fecundity than the natural provenances, indicating a response to selection for fertility. 相似文献
