Mammary tissue from rats that had been ovariectomized and adrenalectomized 4 weeks previously was compared to that from intact rats in terms of epithelial content and hormone-responsiveness in vitro. The endocrinectomy resulted in about a 30% enlargement of the gland, but led to a loss of only about 12% of the epithelium. This estrogen-depleted epithelium was able to acquire full responsiveness in vitro to insulin in terms of the accumulation of alpha-aminoisobutyric acid, and induction of glucose-6-phosphate and gluconate-6-phosphate dehydrogenases. It was also fully responsive to cortisol in relation to the induction of NADH-cytochrome C reductase, and to prolactin in terms of total RNA synthesis. However, estrogen-depletion led to an 82% loss in the ability of a unit amount of the epithelium to synthesize casein in response to these 3 hormones, and to a similar loss in relation to the accumulation of 25K casein mRNA. Estrogen administration in vivo could prevent and reverse the casein lesion. The disparity between constitutive and casein hormone-responsiveness in the absence of estrogen is discussed in relation to cell commitment. 相似文献

The effects of sulfide on the energy metabolism of Boleophthalmus boddaerti in normoxia and hypoxia were examined. The 24-, 48-, and 96-h LC50 values of sulfide for B. boddaerti with body weight ranging from 11.6 to 14.2 g were 0.786, 0.567, and 0.467 mM, respectively. The tolerance of B. boddaerti to sulfide was not due to the presence of a sulfide-insensitive cytochrome c oxidase. There was no accumulation of lactate in the muscle and liver of specimens exposed to sulfide in normoxia. In addition, the levels of ATP, AMP, and energy charge in both the muscle and the liver were unaffected. These results indicate that B. boddaerti was able to sustain the energy supply required for its metabolic needs via mainly aerobic respiration when exposed to sulfide (up to 0.4 mM) in normoxia. Exposure of B. boddaerti simultaneously to hypoxia and 0.2 mM sulfide for 48 h resulted in decreases in the ATP levels in the muscle and liver. However, the energy charge in both tissues remained unchanged, and the level of lactate accumulated in the muscle was too low to have any major contribution to the energy budget of the fish. Our results reveal that B. boddaerti possesses inducible mechanisms to detoxify sulfide in an ample supply or a lack of O2. In normoxia, it detoxified sulfide to sulfate, sulfite, and thiosulfate. There were significant increases in the activities of sulfide oxidase in the muscle and liver of specimens exposed to sulfide, with that in the liver being >13-fold higher than that in the muscle. However, in hypoxia, sulfide oxidase activity in the liver was suppressed in response to environmental sulfide. In such conditions, there were significant increases in the activities of sulfane sulfur-forming enzyme(s) in the muscle and liver that were not observed in specimens exposed to sulfide in normoxia. Correspondingly, there were no changes in the levels of sulfate or sulfite in the muscle or liver. Instead, B. boddaerti detoxified sulfide mainly to sulfane sulfur in hypoxia. In conclusion, B. boddaerti was able to activate different mechanisms to detoxify sulfide, producing different types of detoxification products in normoxia and hypoxia. 相似文献

The aim of study was histological examination of brain vessels in the rats exposed to repeated tail-suspension (TS). The rats were subjected to 30-day TS, then readapted to horizontal position for 30 days and again exposed to 14-day TS simultaneously with the rats which were underwent to 14-day TS for the first time. 30-day TS induced in brain vessels the adaptive changes hindering the excessive blood inflow to brain--spasm and hypertrophy of muscle-elastic valves in extra- and intracerebral arteries and also the destructive changes--loss of vascular tone in extra- and intracerebral arteries, plethora in extra- and intracerebral veins, intracerebral venules and capillaries, conglutination of erythrocytes in capillaries, plasmatization of veins and capillaries and edema of brain tissue pointing out in total the increase in blood inflow to the brain and difficulty of blood outflow. After 30-day readaptation of TS-rats to horizontal position only adaptive changes in extracerebral arteries and intracerebral capillaries (cell proliferation) and edema of brain tissue were revealed. After repeated, 14-day TS in spite of new redistribution of blood to the head, in contrast to the vessel alterations after primary 14-day TS, the adaptive and destructive changes in brain vessels were lack, excluding only moderate plethora of intracerebral veins, cell proliferation in capillaries and weak signs of edema. 相似文献

The results of the phage typing of 5, 168 Staph. aureus strains isolated in a surgical hospital between 1959 and 1977 are analyzed for each year of this period. The wave of increase in the number of staphylococci belonging to phage group II which began, as discovered in this study, in 1965 and still showed no tendency towards decrease in 1977, as well as the periodicity of rises and falls in the number of staphylococci belonging to phage groups I and III are discussed and compared with the data contained in the literature. The authors come to the conclusion that Staph. aureus is subject to wave-like rises and falls in the number of strains belonging to the main phage groups of the species, and among them the strains belonging to phage groups I and III seem to be inversely related in respect of rises and falls in number, such changes occurring periodically at an interval of 10-12 years, while in the strains belonging to phage group II changes in number occur at a slower rate. The constant account of the percentage of phage groups I, II and III is recommended to ensure rational antibiotic therapy. 相似文献

于2019年7月-2020年1月对北戴河朱鹮野化种群非繁殖期的日间活动时间分配和行为节律进行了分析。结果表明,休息(41.8%)、觅食(39.7%)和理羽(13.3%)是北戴河朱鹮非繁殖期的主要行为。在行为节律上,有3个觅食高峰、2个休息高峰和2个理羽高峰。成鸟和幼鸟行为分配相似,但成鸟的警戒和社群等其他行为比例显著较高。与野生种群相比,北戴河野化种群的觅食时间显著较少,主要原因是野生个体需要花费较多时间搜寻食物,且飞行等活动的能耗较高。朱鹮在冬季的休息和理羽行为比例高于夏秋季,觅食行为则相反,这样可以在低温和大风天气降低能耗,是对北戴河气候环境的有效适应。为了提高朱鹮对多种气候环境的适应能力,为今后北戴河朱鹮的再引入奠定基础,我们建议在冬季要确保朱鹮有充足的适宜觅食地,同时在野化网笼中进行必要的环境丰容,如在网笼内增加常绿树种和阔叶树种,部分侧网上安装防风板,或在网笼中设置防风避寒的伞棚等设施,以供朱鹮进行选择。 相似文献

Peptides have been shown in both in vivo and in vitro systems to cross the blood-brain barrier (BBB) and so affect function on the side contralateral to their origin. Some peptides cross primarily by transmembrane diffusion, a nonsaturable mechanism largely dependent on the lipid solubility of the peptide. Other peptides are transported by saturable systems across the BBB. These transport systems can be in the CNS to blood direction, as in the cases of Tyr-MIF-1 and methionine enkephalin, in the blood to CNS direction, as in the case of peptide T, or bidirectional, as in the case of LHRH. Other factors that also affect the amount of peptide crossing the BBB include binding in blood, volume of distribution, enzymatic resistance, and half-time disappearance from the blood. An in vitro model of the BBB has been characterized and used to confirm that peptides can cross the BBB. Results with the model agree with those obtained in vivo and have been used to study the permeability of the BBB to peptides, the effect of peptides on BBB integrity, the cellular pathway peptides and proteins use to cross the BBB, and the ability of the BBB to degrade peptides. The in vivo and in vitro methods have been used together to develop halogenated enkephalin analogs that are enzymatically resistant, cross the BBB readily to accumulate in areas of the brain rich in opiate receptors, and are powerful analgesics. This shows how the principles elucidated for peptide passage across the BBB can be used to develop therapeutic peptides and how those peptides can be further tested in complementary in vivo and in vitro systems. 相似文献

The relationship between branchial carbonic anhydrase (CA) activity, CA gene expression and salinity, and potential mechanisms of regulation, was investigated in the euryhaline green crab, Carcinus maenas, acclimated to 33 ppt and transferred to 10 ppt, and the stenohaline rock crab, Cancer irroratus, acclimated to 32 ppt and transferred to 18 ppt. CA activity in green crabs acclimated to high and low salinity was a function of CA mRNA expression, with low salinity exposure resulting in an increase in both CA expression and activity. Eyestalk ablation (ESA) in green crabs acclimated to high salinity resulted in an increase in CA expression in the posterior, ion-transporting gills, in the absence of the low salinity stimulus. There were no changes in CA activity or expression in the anterior, respiratory gills. ESA also potentiated low salinity-stimulated CA induction, again, only in posterior gills. There were no changes in CA activity in any gills of Cancer irroratus, in response to either ESA or low salinity. These results suggest that CA expression in euryhaline, osmoregulating species, is under inhibitory regulation by a putative repressor found in the eyestalk, and that this mechanism is absent in stenohaline, osmoconforming species. CA expression is maintained at low, baseline levels in crabs acclimated to high salinity by the presence and action of this compound. The effects of the repressor appear to be reduced upon exposure to low salinity, allowing CA induction to occur. 相似文献

Attempts to relate species differences in population dynamics to variation in life histories rely on the assumption that the causes of contrasts in demography are sufficiently simple to be derived from first principles. Here, we investigate the causes of contrasts in dynamics between two ungulate populations on Hebridean islands (red deer and Soay sheep) and show that differences in stability, as well as in the effects of variation in density and climate, are related to differences in timing of reproduction relative to seasonal variation in resource abundance. In both populations, attempts to predict changes in population size sufficiently accurately for the results to be useful for management purposes require a knowledge of the responses of different age and sex categories to changes in density and climate, as well as of population structure. 相似文献

Increased mineralization of the organic matter (OM) stored in permafrost is expected to constitute the largest additional global warming potential from terrestrial ecosystems exposed to a warmer climate. Chemical composition of permafrost OM is thought to be a key factor controlling the sensitivity of decomposition to warming. Our objective was to characterise OM from permafrost soils of the European Arctic: two mineral soils—Adventdalen, Svalbard, Norway and Vorkuta, northwest Russia—and a “palsa” (ice-cored peat mound patterning in heterogeneous permafrost landscapes) soil in Neiden, northern Norway, in terms of molecular composition and state of decomposition. At all sites, the OM stored in the permafrost was at an advanced stage of decomposition, although somewhat less so in the palsa peat. By comparing permafrost and active layers, we found no consistent effect of depth or permafrost on soil organic matter (SOM) chemistry across sites. The permafrost-affected palsa peat displayed better preservation of plant material in the deeper layer, as indicated by increasing contribution of lignin carbon to total carbon with depth, associated to decreasing acid (Ac) to aldehyde (Al) ratio of the syringyl (S) and vanillyl (V) units, and increasing S/V and contribution of plant-derived sugars. By contrast, in Adventdalen, the Ac/Al ratio of lignin and the Alkyl C to O-alkyl C ratio in the NMR spectra increased with depth, which suggests less oxidized SOM in the active layer compared to the permafrost layer. In Vorkuta, SOM characteristics in the permafrost profile did not change substantially with depth, probably due to mixing of soil layers by cryoturbation. The composition and state of decomposition of SOM appeared to be site-specific, in particular bound to the prevailing organic or mineral nature of soil when attempting to predict the SOM proneness to degradation. The occurrence of processes such as palsa formation in organic soils and cryoturbation should be considered when up-scaling and predicting the responses of OM to climate change in arctic soils. 相似文献

Total confinement systems of swine production offer several benefits and costs in terms of animal welfare. Swine raised in total confinement are protected from environmental extremes and predators; however, welfare concerns stem from observations of stereotypic behavior and lameness of pigs, common in some of these systems. Because total confinement systems are expensive to build and maintain compared to less intensive systems, producers have become interested in an inexpensive alternative: hoop structures (Hoop). Open-ended Quonsets shaped like a half cylinder lying on its flat side, the Hoop use bedding to keep the pigs dry and allow this bedding to compost beneath the pigs to keep them warm in winter. This project compared the behavior and physiology of pigs in a nonbedded confinement system (NBCS) with those in the Hoop. Two experiments, 1 in the winter and 1 in the summer, assessed the welfare of pigs based on the incidence of aberrant behavior, physiologic response to handling, incidence of lameness, and the performance of play behavior. Pigs raised in the NBCS performed more aberrant behaviors and less play behavior, had greater plasma cortisol in response to handling (but fewer vocalizations), and a greater incidence of injuries than did the pigs raised in the Hoop. Based on these data, pigs in the Hoop were adjudged to have enhanced welfare as compared to pigs raised in the NBCS. Because the welfare of pigs in the Hoop appears to be greater than the welfare of pigs raised in the NBCS, future research should determine which factors are most important to pigs and then try to incorporate these into production systems. 相似文献

Due to the intensification of rice cultivation in Spain and the repeated use of herbicides as an effective tool to control weeds, one important fact is the appearance of resistant populations of weeds, which are no longer controlled effectively at field doses. Therefore, it is necessary to increase doses to such an extent as to produce phytotoxicity in the rice crop. In paddy fields in Badajoz (Spain), a few years ago, populations of Cyperus difformis resistant to bensulfuron-methyl appeared. In order to characterize this resistance, whole plant assays were carried out in fourteen populations, eight of them originating from treated Spanish paddy fields. The results were expressed as resistance factor (RF) = ED50(R)/ED50(S). Two populations of Cyperus difformis, resistant (R) and tolerant (T) to bensulfuron-methyl, displayed resistance factors greater than 30 and 12.5, respectively. Furthermore, in order to evaluate the existence of a possible cross-resistance, the recommended field doses of 3 other herbicides (imazamox, ethoxysulfuron and bentazone + MCPA) were applied to the plants. All populations were susceptible to both imazamox and bentazone + MCPA and two populations showed cross-resistance to ethoxysulfuron. ALS activity was assayed in vitro in four biotypes, the R/S ratios of the I50 values calculated indicate that resistance involves a reduction in the sensitivity of the ALS mainly in the R population (biotype 4) to bensulfuron-methyl and ethoxysulfuron, displaying R/S ratios of 37500 and 142857, respectively, which may be attributed to inherent differences in the ALS protein itself and/or in the stability of the enzyme. 相似文献

Recent interest has focused on the importance of the nucleus and associated nucleoskeleton in regulating changes in cardiac gene expression in response to biomechanical load. Mutations in genes encoding proteins of the inner nuclear membrane and nucleoskeleton, which cause cardiomyopathy, also disrupt expression of a biomechanically responsive gene program. Furthermore, mutations in the outer nuclear membrane protein Nesprin 1 and 2 have been implicated in cardiomyopathy. Here, we identify for the first time a role for the outer nuclear membrane proteins, Nesprin 1 and Nesprin 2, in regulating gene expression in response to biomechanical load. Ablation of both Nesprin 1 and 2 in cardiomyocytes, but neither alone, resulted in early onset cardiomyopathy. Mutant cardiomyocytes exhibited altered nuclear positioning, shape, and chromatin positioning. Loss of Nesprin 1 or 2, or both, led to impairment of gene expression changes in response to biomechanical stimuli. These data suggest a model whereby biomechanical signals are communicated from proteins of the outer nuclear membrane, to the inner nuclear membrane and nucleoskeleton, to result in changes in gene expression required for adaptation of the cardiomyocyte to changes in biomechanical load, and give insights into etiologies underlying cardiomyopathy consequent to mutations in Nesprin 1 and 2. 相似文献

Role and function of cytokinin oxidase in plants 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cytokinin oxidase (CK oxidase) is widely distributed in plants and is the only enzyme that has been shown unequivocally to catalyze the catabolism of specific cytokinins (CKs) to inactive products that lack the N6-unsaturated side chain. Thus, the enzyme is thought to play a major role in controlling the level or species of CKs in plant tissues. However, despite its discovery more than 25 years ago, little attention has been given to the elucidation of its role and function in plant growth and development. This review seeks to bring in to context the current state of knowledge regarding the biochemical and molecular properties, regulation in undifferentiated and differentiated tissues, and recent results from studies using transgenic plants in an attempt to provide a more comprehensive understanding of the physiological significance of the enzyme in plants. Notwithstanding species, tissue and other specific differences, in general, CK oxidase appears to contribute to CK homeostasis in plants. However, complete clarity as to its function awaits purification of the protein to homogeneity and the ultimate development of requisite molecular probes. 相似文献

The effects of deficiencies in the antioxidant nutrients, vitamin E and selenium, on the host response to gastrointestinal nematode infection are unknown. The aim of the study was to determine the effect of antioxidant deficiencies on nematode-induced alterations in intestinal function in mice. BALB/c mice were fed control diets or diets deficient in selenium or vitamin E and the response to a secondary challenge inoculation with Heligmosomoides polygyrus was determined. Egg and worm counts were assessed to determine host resistance. Sections of jejunum were mounted in Ussing chambers to measure changes in permeability, absorption, and secretion, or suspended in organ baths to determine smooth muscle contraction. Both selenium and vitamin E deficient diets reduced resistance to helminth infection. Vitamin E, but not selenium, deficiency prevented nematode-induced decreases in glucose absorption and hyper-contractility of smooth muscle. Thus, vitamin E status is an important factor in the physiological response to intestinal nematode infection and may contribute to antioxidant-dependent protective mechanisms in the small intestine. 相似文献

As the world’s fastest spreading vector-borne disease, dengue was estimated to infect more than 390 million people in 2010, a 30-fold increase in the past half century. Although considered to be a non-endemic country, mainland China had 55,114 reported dengue cases from 2005 to 2014, of which 47,056 occurred in 2014. Furthermore, 94% of the indigenous cases in this time period were reported in Guangdong Province, 83% of which were in Guangzhou City. In order to determine the possible determinants of the unprecedented outbreak in 2014, a population-based deterministic model was developed to describe dengue transmission dynamics in Guangzhou. Regional sensitivity analysis (RSA) was adopted to calibrate the model and entomological surveillance data was used to validate the mosquito submodel. Different scenarios were created to investigate the roles of the timing of an imported case, climate, vertical transmission from mosquitoes to their offspring, and intervention. The results suggested that an early imported case was the most important factor in determining the 2014 outbreak characteristics. Precipitation and temperature can also change the transmission dynamics. Extraordinary high precipitation in May and August, 2014 appears to have increased vector abundance. Considering the relatively small number of cases in 2013, the effect of vertical transmission was less important. The earlier and more frequent intervention in 2014 also appeared to be effective. If the intervention in 2014 was the same as that in 2013, the outbreak size may have been over an order of magnitude higher than the observed number of new cases in 2014.The early date of the first imported and locally transmitted case was largely responsible for the outbreak in 2014, but it was influenced by intervention, climate and vertical transmission. Early detection and response to imported cases in the spring and early summer is crucial to avoid large outbreaks in the future. 相似文献

Right or left hindlimbs of kittens were immobilized in a plaster cast, in the resting position. Three groups of animals belonged to the same age group, one to older, and another to younger. Kittens in the same age group were subjected to progressively increasing periods of immobilization, the older group to a shorter and the younger to the longest period. By virtue of this arrangement, it was found that the demonstrated changes in the peripheral nerve, which included a decrease in the myelinated nerve fibre population and a reduction in the mean nerve fibre diameter, have been proportionate among the animals in the same age group, more pronounced in younger, and less so in older ones, indicating that in younger animals longer periods of immobilization lead to a greater degree of harmful effects, although it was also evident that younger animals attempt to adapt to such adverse conditions. 相似文献

Proteomic analysis of CA1 and CA3 regions of rat hippocampus and differential susceptibility to intermittent hypoxia 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

The CA1 and CA3 regions of the hippocampus markedly differ in their susceptibility to hypoxia in general, and more particularly to the intermittent hypoxia that characterizes sleep apnea. Proteomic approaches were used to identify proteins differentially expressed in the CA1 and CA3 regions of the rat hippocampus and to assess changes in protein expression following a 6-h exposure to intermittent hypoxia (IH). Ninety-nine proteins were identified, and 15 were differentially expressed in the CA1 and the CA3 regions. Following IH, 32 proteins in the CA1 region and only 7 proteins in the more resistant CA3 area were up-regulated. Hypoxia-regulated proteins in the CA1 region included structural proteins, proteins related to apoptosis, primarily chaperone proteins, and proteins involved in cellular metabolic pathways. We conclude that IH-mediated CA1 injury results from complex interactions between pathways involving increased metabolism, induction of stress-induced proteins and apoptosis, and, ultimately, disruption of structural proteins and cell integrity. These findings provide initial insights into mechanisms underlying differences in susceptibility to hypoxia in neural tissue, and may allow for future delineation of interventional strategies aiming to enhance neuronal adaptation to IH. 相似文献
