Activity levels of acid phosphatase (ACPase) in midgut gland and muscle tissues of penaeid prawn, Metapenaeus monoceros were studied after exposure to selected sublethal concentrations of phosphamidon after acute and chronic exposure. Phosphamidon was found to elevate the activity levels of ACPase in the selected tissues. The rate of elevation of ACPase is dose-dependant and is more at higher concentrations. Acute and chronic exposure to phosphamidon creates disturbances in the normal functioning at the cellular level in the tissues of prawn, M. monoceros. 相似文献

Changes in midgut gland and muscle tissue glycolytic potentials of penaeid prawn, Metapenaeus monoceros following exposure to methylparathion, carbaryl and aldrin were studied. A decrease in total carbohydrates, glycogen and pyruvate and an increase in lactate levels were observed. An increase in phosphorylase 'a' and aldolase activity levels suggested increased formation of trioses during selected insecticide toxicity. The decrease in the lactate dehydrogenase activity levels and an increase in the lactate content indicative of reduced mobilization of pyruvate into the citric acid cycle. During selected insecticide exposure, the prawn tissues adopting some sort of regulatory pathways such as enhanced glycolysis and a shift of metabolic emphasis from aerobiosis to anaerobiosis. All the above mentioned changes were more pronounced in the midgut gland compared to muscle tissue. The per cent decrease or increase are more under aldrin exposure followed by carbaryl and methylparathion exposure. The selected insecticides in the present investigation, though belongs to different representative groups, but appears to be neurotoxic leading to disturbances in the carbohydrate catabolism. 相似文献

Hydrocarbon pollution is a major environmental threat to ecosystems in marine and freshwater environments, but its toxicological effect on aquatic organisms remains little studied. A proteomic approach was used to analyze the effect of a freshwater oil spill on the prawn Macrobrachium borellii. To this aim, proteins were extracted from midgut gland (hepatopancreas) of male and female prawns exposed 7 days to a sublethal concentration (0.6 ppm) of water-soluble fraction of crude oil (WSF). Exposure to WSF induced responses at the protein expression level. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) revealed 10 protein spots that were differentially expressed by WSF exposure. Seven proteins were identified using MS/MS and de novo sequencing. Nm23 oncoprotein, arginine methyltransferase, fatty aldehyde dehydrogenase and glutathione S-transferase were down-regulated, whereas two glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase isoforms and a lipocalin-like crustacyanin (CTC) were up-regulated after WSF exposure. CTC mRNA levels were further analyzed by quantitative real-time PCR showing an increased expression after WSF exposure. The proteins identified are involved in carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism, detoxification, transport of hydrophobic molecules and cellular homeostasis among others. These results provide evidence for better understanding the toxic mechanisms of hydrocarbons. Moreover, some of these differentially expressed proteins would be employed as potential novel biomarkers. 相似文献

Data furnished here concern with the role of eyestalk hormone in the regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in Parapenaeopsis hardwickii. Bilateral eyestalk ablation has brought about a significant (P < 0.01) fall and rise in the glycogen content in the midgut gland and abdominal muscle respectively. Although eyestalk ablation resulted in a significant (P < 0.01) depletion of fat in midgut gland, n0 significant (P > 0.05) change was observed in the abdominal muscle. Eyestalk extract administration in eyestalk-less prawns has significantly (P < 0.05) restored the glycogen and fat metabolites in the midgut gland. There was an obvious change in the glycogen content of the midgut gland and abdominal muscle of normal prawns when injected with eyestalk extracts from prawns in different molting stages. Eyestalk extract from intermolt prawns caused a significant (P < 0.05) decrease and increase in the glycogen quantity in the midgut gland and abdominal muscle respectively. Eyestalk extract from premolt and postmolt prawns has, although not significantly (P > 0.05), decreased and increased the utilization of glycogen respectively in the midgut gland. The physiological significance of these findings are discussed briefly.Paper forms part IV of the series

Growth hormone-like peptides cross-reacting with an antiserum human specific were detected in the haemolymph, the midgut gland and stomach extracts of the prawn Palaemon serratus using radioimmunoassay. Parallelism was observed between the dilution sample curves and the hGH standard curve. Moreover, at least one peptide exhibiting a similar apparent molecular weight (22,000 daltons) with hGH was detected. In the three samples different amounts were detected during intermolt cycle: between 1.3 and 2.2 ng/ml in the haemolymph, 23 and 84 ng/g wet weight for the midgut gland, 12 and 71 ng/g ww for the stomach. The stages with highest values were respectively: D 1" and D 1"', D 1"' and D 2, D 3 and AB. 相似文献

Plasma glucagon concentration increased in 2 weeks cold-acclimated rats, but it returned to normal value in 4 weeks cold-acclimated ones. Plasma free fatty acid (FFA) and β-hydroxybutyrate concentrations also showed the similar pattern of changes. Plasma glucagon and FFA concentrations decreased in both 2 weeks and 4 weeks heat-acclimated animals. Plasma β-hydroxybutyrate concentration was not changed by heat acclimation. Plasma glucose concentration decreased in heat-acclimated animals, while it was not affected by cold acclimation. There was a significant positive correlation between plasma glucagon and FFA levels as a whole in 2 weeks warm-, cold- and heat-acclimated rats, and in 4 weeks warm- and heat-acclimated ones. These findings would appear to indicate that in both cold and heat acclimation glucagon is closely involved as one member of a hormonal team through regulating lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. 相似文献

1. The in vitro rates of incorporation of precursors into protein and RNA and the concentration of RNA were measured in tissues of intermolt and premolt lobsters acclimated to 5 degrees C and 20 degrees C. Midgut gland, abdominal muscle and gill of intermolt lobsters respond to temperature acclimation by a compensatory translation of the rate-temperature (R-T) curves with respect to the rates of incorporation of 3H-leucine and 3H-uridine into the acid-insoluble fraction. Midgut gland and muscle of premolt animals exhibit either no compensation or inverse compensation; gill tissue exhibits a rotation of the R-T curve. 2. The existence of the complete de novo pathway of pyrimidine biosynthesis is demonstrated in the class Crustacea. NaH14 CO2 is incorporated into orotic acid and orotic-14 C-acid is incorporated into the acid-insoluble fraction. 3. Both the concentration of RNA and the rates of incorporation of precursors of both the salvage and de novo pyrimidine pathways are enhanced in the midgut gland of premolt lobsters, relative to intermolt tissue, under conditions of warm-acclimation. 相似文献

Crustacean hyperglycemic hormone (CHH), a physiologically important neurohormone stored in the sinus gland of eyestalks, primarily regulates carbohydrate metabolism and also plays significant roles in reproduction, molting and other physiological processes. In the freshwater giant prawn, Macrobrachium rosenbergii, an injection of X-organ sinus gland (XOSG) extract evoked a hyperglycemic response, peaked in 1 h. The hyperglycemic effect of the eyestalk extract was maximal at the dose of 0.5 eyestalk equivalent. CHH fractionated by RP-HPLC, in M. rosenbergii was identified by its hyperglycemic activity and partial amino acid sequence, and the molecular weight of 8534 was determined by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry--time of flight analysis (MALDI-TOF). The amino acid sequence of the first 25 residues of CHH showed 72% homology with the first 25 residues of CHH A and CHH B of the American lobster Homarus americanus. 相似文献

The protein patterns of gill, midgut gland and abdominal muscle tissues of four different marine penaeid prawn species: Metapenaeus affinis, Metapenaeus monoceros, Parapenaeopsis hardwickii and Parapenaeopsis stylifera were investigated qualitatively by polyacrylamid gel disc electrophoresis in relation to sex. All tissues showed their own peculiar pattern of protein fractions. The possible significance of these differences is discussed.This investigation was supported by I.C.A.R., New Delhi, through a project on Reprod. Endocr. Edible prawns 相似文献

The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT; serotonin) and dopamine (DA) on tissue carbohydrate metabolism and haemolymph glucose levels in the freshwater prawn, Macrobrachium malcolmsonii, were investigated. Injection of 5-HT and DA produced hyperglycaemia in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner, with DA being more effective than 5-HT. Interestingly, 5-HT and DA induced hyperglycaemia only in intact prawns but not in bilaterally eyestalk-ablated individuals. Total carbohydrate (TCHO) and glycogen levels decreased and phosphorylase activity increased in the hepatopancreas and muscle of intact prawns after being injected with 5-HT or DA. However, bilateral eyestalk ablation decreased haemolymph glucose and tissue phosphorylase activity and increased TCHO and glycogen levels of the hepatopancreas and muscle. Injection of 5-HT or DA did not cause significant changes in these variables in eyestalk-ablated prawns. It is hypothesized that 5-HT and DA induce hyperglycaemia in prawns by stimulating the release of crustacean hyperglycaemic hormone (CHH) from the X-organ sinus gland (XO-SG) complex located in the eyestalk. 相似文献

Changes in hepatopancreas, muscle and gill tissue nitrogen metabolic profiles were studied in a penaeid prawn, Penaeus indicus, following its exposure to sublethal concentrations of methylparathion, carbaryl and aldrin. In all the insecticide exposed prawn tissues, Ammonia levels were significantly increased and a shift in the nitrogen metabolism towards the synthesis of urea and glutamine was observed. Inhibition of glutamate oxidation to ammonia and alpha-ketoglutarate by glutamate dehydrogenase suggests a mechanism whereby hyperammonemia is reduced by minimizing the addition of further ammonia to the already existing elevated ammonia pool. Increased alanine and aspartate aminotransferases demonstrates the onset of gluconeogenesis. Mechanisms to detoxify the ammonia by enhancing the synthesis of urea and glutamine at the cellular level was observed in the selected tissues pave way for the survivability of prawns in insecticide polluted environs. 相似文献

The UV-B and desiccation-tolerant terrestrial cyanobacterium Nostoc commune was grown under defined UV irradiation. Proteome changes were monitored in the membrane and the cytosolic and the extracellular fractions. Tools were developed to separate stress-triggered from growth stage-dependent changes. UV-B changed the relative cellular concentration of 493 out of 1,350 protein spots at least by a factor of three, rendering the UV-B stimulon of N. commune the most complex one described so far. It comprises two different parts: an early shock response influencing 214 proteins and a late acclimation response involving 279 proteins. The shock response comprised many membrane or membrane-associated proteins, whereas the acclimation response mainly changed cytosolic proteins. Most of the shock-induced changes were transient and did not overlap with the acclimation response. In the extracellular fraction, UV irradiation induced superoxide dismutase and the water stress protein. In total, 27 intracellular, UV-B-induced proteins were partially sequenced by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. Three functional classes were identified: proteins involved in lipid metabolism, in carbohydrate metabolism and in regulatory pathways. About 50% of the sequenced proteins were homologous to cyanobacterial database entries with un-known function. Interestingly, all of these proteins belong to the UV-B acclimation response. We conclude that the UV-B shock response and the UV-B acclimation response represent two completely different and remarkably complex strategies of N. commune to protect itself against UV-B radiation in its natural environment. 相似文献

Summary The fresh-water limpetAncylus fluviatilis, living in European brooks, was found to have relatively greater carbohydrate and lipid fractions in winter than in summer. During starvation in the winter stage, lipid reserves are diminished first, followed by the carbohydrate reserves. Protein is degraded at nearly equal rates throughout the experiments. Specimens suffering from starvation are not found in the field during winter. Lipid reserves are mainly deposited in the midgut gland, whereas the carbohydrate reserves are distributed more equally among different tissues.A. fluviatilis must feed continuously during the winter period. The results are discussed in relation to data from other Basommatophora. 相似文献

Low temperature is an important environmental factor affecting the performance and distribution of plants. During the so-called process of cold acclimation, many plants are able to develop low-temperature tolerance, associated with the reprogramming of a large part of their metabolism. In this study, we present a systems biology approach based on mathematical modelling to determine interactions between the reprogramming of central carbohydrate metabolism and the development of freezing tolerance in two accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana. Different regulation strategies were observed for (a) photosynthesis, (b) soluble carbohydrate metabolism and (c) enzyme activities of central metabolite interconversions. Metabolism of the storage compound starch was found to be independent of accession-specific reprogramming of soluble sugar metabolism in the cold. Mathematical modelling and simulation of cold-induced metabolic reprogramming indicated major differences in the rates of interconversion between the pools of hexoses and sucrose, as well as the rate of assimilate export to sink organs. A comprehensive overview of interconversion rates is presented, from which accession-specific regulation strategies during exposure to low temperature can be derived. We propose this concept as a tool for predicting metabolic engineering strategies to optimize plant freezing tolerance. We confirm that a significant improvement in freezing tolerance in plants involves multiple regulatory instances in sucrose metabolism, and provide evidence for a pivotal role of sucrose-hexose interconversion in increasing the cold acclimation output. 相似文献

Distribution of lysozyme and protease, and amino acid concentration in the guts of a wood‐feeding termite, Reticulitermes speratus (Kolbe) (Isoptera, Rhinotermitidae) were studied to examine the possibility that termites digest symbiont bacteria transferred by trophallaxis. Total lysozyme activity was found predominantly in the salivary gland and to a minor extent in the digestive tracts. However, specific lysozyme activity was high in the foregut as well as in the salivary gland. The similarity of the lysozyme pH profile of the salivary gland and of the foregut suggested that the foregut lysozyme came from the salivary gland. Major protease activity having the optimum pH of 7.5 was found in the midgut. Total free amino acid amount and concentration in the midgut was higher than elsewhere in the digestive tract. The possibility that lysozyme secreted from the salivary gland into the foregut digests hindgut bacteria transferred by trophallaxis was discussed. 相似文献

An attempt to evaluate the influence of tritium oxide on the metabolism by some indices of lipid metabolism (common lipids, beta-lipoproteins, cholesterin), protein metabolism (cholinesterasa) and carbohydrate metabolism (blood sugar) was made. It was established that the introduction into organism of tritium oxide in the quantities, which could form lethal and sublethal doses of internal radiation, provoked the main changes of values of mentioned indices of metabolism. The character of metabolism changes in the remote period allows us to judge about the development of sclerosis processes, which can be the result of radiation-stipulated acceleration of organism aging. 相似文献
