As part or a systematic study of alcoholism and thiamine absorption, the effect of diet-induced thiamine deficiency and the role of the unstirred water layer on thiamine transport were investigated. Using 3H-labeled dextran as a marker of adherent mucosal volume, jejunal uptake of 14C-labeled thiamine hydrochloride was measured, in vitro, in thiamine-deficient rats and pair-fed controls. Uptake of low thiamine concentrations (0.2 and 0.5 μM) was greater in the thiamine-deficient rats thatn in the controls. In contrast, uptake rates for high thiamine concentrations (20 and 50 μM) were similar in both groups. While was unaltered, was decreased in thiamine deficiency, suggesting a decrease in unstirred water layer thickness. Accordingly, the thickness of the water layer was measured in both groups of animals and correlated with and under unstirred and st irred conditions. Without stirring, there was no difference in between the two groups. In contrast, both and the water layer were reduced in the thiamine-deficient rats. With stirring, was not affected, but both and the water layer thickness were reduced to similar values in both groups. Reversal of thiamine deficiency resulted in the return of thiamine uptake and the unstirred water layer thickness to control values. These data support the concept of a dual system of thiamine transport and emphasize the role of the unstirred water layer as an important determinant of transport kinetics not only under physiologic situations but also in diet-induced rat thiamine deficiency, a model for a clinical pathological state. The decrease in the unstirred water layer thickness in thiamine deficiency may be also viewed as a possible adaptive mechanism to facilitate absorption of meager supplies of thiamine. 相似文献

Jejunal absorption of leucine and cycloleucine by sham and 50% distal resected rats in vivo was studied by measuring the passive component and the active transport. After 5 months postresection the total amino acid absorption was increased. The mass-transfer coefficients of the passive process (obtained in presence of methionine) were higher in remnant jejunum than that in control rats, whereas the active transport remained unaltered after resection. When the kinetic constants of the saturable and non-saturable components were corrected for the unstirred water layer effects, the "real KD" increased in the resected group, whilst similar values for the "real Km and Jmax" were obtained. 相似文献

Failure to account for the effect of the unstirred water layer and the contribution of passive permeation will lead to errors in the estimation of the kinetic constants of glucose uptake into the intestine. It is widely accepted that variations in the concentration of sodium in the bulk phase profoundly influence the rate of uptake of glucose in the intestine, but the kinetic basis for this effect remains in dispute. Accordingly, a previously validated in vitro technique was used to assess the effect of Na+ on the uptake of glucose into rabbit jejunum under conditions selected to reduce the unstirred layer resistance. Varying Na+ had no effect on the uptake of lauryl alcohol and therefore on unstirred layer resistance. The passive permeability coefficient for glucose uptake was estimated from the uptake of L-glucose, of D-glucose at 4 degrees C, or in the presence of 1 mM phlorizin or 40 mM galactose. The permeability for glucose increased as Na+ rose. The values of both the maximal transport rate and the Michaelis constant (Km) were influenced by Na+. A linear relationship was noted between Na+ and the maximal transport rate; the value of Km fell as Na+ was increased to 75 mequiv./L, but Km did not decline further with higher values of Na+. These results support the theoretical predictions of the presence of both an affinity and a velocity effect of the sodium gradient on the intestinal transport system for glucose. 相似文献

Modulation of A and B cell functions by tolbutamide and arginine in the pancreas of thiamine-deficient rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of administration of glucose orally and tolbutamide or arginine intravenously on insulin and glucagon secretion and blood glucose level were studied in normal and thiamine-deficient rats. In thiamine deficiency, insulin secretion and glucose tolerance were impaired during glucose ingestion. Tolbutamide decreased the blood glucose level in both control and thiamine-deficient rats but its stimulatory effect on insulin secretion was minimal in thiamine-deficient rats unlike the control animals. Arginine did not alter substantially the blood glucose or insulin in thiamine-deficient rats, whereas it increased the insulin level in control rats. The fasting plasma glucagon level was high in thiamine deficiency. Tolbutamide increased the plasma glucagon in control rats, but did so only marginally in thiamine-deficient rats. Arginine also increased the glucagon secretion throughout the period of study in control rats. In thiamine-deficient rats the glucagon secretion was pronounced only after 20 min of arginine administration. These results suggest that an unimpaired glucose metabolism is a prerequisite to induce proper insulin secretion. Only proper insulin secretion can check the glucagon secretion rather than the increased glucose level. Hypoglycemia can induce glucagon secretion independent of the insulin level. 相似文献

Previous in vitro studies have demonstrated enhanced active and passive intestinal uptake of nutrients in streptozotocindiabetic rats, but the effect of diabetes on the in vivo absorption of glucose and amino acids remains controversial, and the effect of diabetes on the in vivo uptake of lipids has not been reported. Accordingly, an in vivo perfusion technique was used in rats to examine the uptake of nutrients from the intestinal lumen, their transfer to the body, their mucosal and submucosal content, and the percentage of uptake transferred. Diabetes was associated with reduced uptake of fatty alcohols, indicating that the effective resistance of the unstirred water layer in vivo is higher in diabetic than in nondiabetic control rats. The mucosal and submucosal content of dodecanol was lower in diabetic than in control rats, but the percentage of the dodecanol uptake transferred to the body was higher. Although the uptake of varying concentrations of D-galactose was similar in diabetic and in control animals, kinetic analysis corrected for unstirred layer effects demonstrated lower mean values of the passive permeability coefficients (Pd) for galactose in diabetic than in control animals, with lower values of the Michaelis constant (Km) and higher values of the maximal transport rate (Jmd). The uptake of lauric acid was reduced in diabetic rats, whereas the uptake of deconoic acid and of cholesterol was unchanged. With correction for unstirred layer effects, it was apparent that the jejunum of diabetic rats was in fact more permeable to decanoic and lauric acid as well as to cholesterol.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Comparative assessment of the resistance of the unstirred water layer to solute transport between two different intestinal perfusion systems 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The resistance of the unstirred water layer to solute transport was estimated in two different intestinal single-pass perfusion systems for a comparative study, using D-glucose as a model compound. One is a well established perfusion system in anesthetized rats as a standard (system A). The other is the one in unanesthetized rats for comparison (system B). It was demonstrated that in system B as well as in system A the resistance of the unstirred water layer to D-glucose transport should be taken into account and this resistance, accordingly, the effective thickness of the unstirred water layer (delta) which is assumed to be in proportion to its resistance, could be described as a function of the perfusion rate by using a film model. The delta decreased with increasing perfusion rate and was larger in system A than in system B at each perfusion rate; 785 microns in system A versus 319 microns in system B at the perfusion rate of 0.16 ml/min and 337 microns versus 184 micron at that of 2.95 ml/min. Thus in system B the effective thickness, accordingly, the resistance, of the unstirred water layer was reduced to about 50% of that in system A, but the resistance of the unstirred water layer could still account for 85% of the total resistance at the maximum as far as D-glucose absorption was concerned, while 93% in system A. These results suggest that, compared with perfusion experiments in anesthetized rats (system A), the resistance of the unstirred water layer is reduced but cannot be left out of consideration even if perfusion experiments are performed in unanesthetized rats (system B). And the lower resistance of the unstirred water layer in system B was attributed to a turbulent flow in contrary to a laminar flow in system A. 相似文献

Uptake and serosal transfer of the vitamins thiamine, riboflavin and folic acid have been studied in vivo in normal and parasitized rats infected with Hymenolepis diminuta (Cestoda). Regional differences in intestinal uptake of all three vitamins in both uninfected and parasitized animals were not satistically significant. In the parasitized intestine mucosal uptake and serosal transfer of thiamine were significantly inhibited, with increased mucosal accumulation of the vitamin as luminal thiamine concentration increased. Apparent increased riboflavin mucosal uptake in parasitized animals, was not matched by the reduced serosal transfer, suggesting adsorption of the vitamin in the unstirred aqueous layers. Mucosal uptake of folic acid increased in the parasitized gut; serosal transfer and mucosal accumulation were not affected. These results, indicating vitamin malabsorption associated with infection by H. diminuta, are consistent with the parasite inhibiting mucosal passive transport mechanisms. This conclusion is supported by the changes in net water fluxes associated with vitamin uptake in the parasitized intestine. 相似文献

The kinetic parameters of a carrier-mediated transport for D-glucose and for taurocholate were determined from rat in situ intestinal single perfusion experiments. The true parameters were obtained by the two-dimensional laminar flow model, in which the solute concentration at the aqueous-intestinal membrane interface can be calculated numerically without assuming the aqueous diffusion layer, discriminating the effects of the unstirred water layer. The true Michaelis constant was 4.5 mM for D-glucose and 1.5 mM for taurocholate. The true maximal transport velocity was 3.4 nmol/s per cm2 for D-glucose and 0.29 nmol/s per cm2 for taurocholate. The apparent Michaelis constant was raised by the factor of 6.6 for D-glucose and 3.6 for taurocholate due to the effects of the unstirred water layer. The maximal transport velocity was relatively unaffected by the unstirred water layer in both compounds. The values of the effective (operational) thickness of the unstirred water layer were compatible with those reported previously by employing various experimental methods. The kinetic parameters obtained in vitro everted sacs, for comparison, almost coincided with the true ones in situ. Therefore, the two-dimensional laminar flow model is shown to be valid not only for determining the kinetic parameters of a carrier-mediated transport in situ but also for predicting the absorption rate in situ from the uptake rate in vitro. 相似文献

The unstirred water layer has been shown to lead to an underestimation of apparent Km (Km(app)) values for active transport processes in intestinal whole tissue preparations. Isolated cells offer several potential advantages in the study of transport processes including a decreased diffusion layer of water adjacent to their absorptive membranes. Initial studies in cells isolated from rat intestine involving measurements of CO2 and lactate production and O2 consumption showed that overall metabolic pathways were functioning. Next, unidirectional uptake rates of bile acids across the isolated cell membrane were determined following correction for extracellular fluid contamination with a non-absorbable marker. Using epithelial cells isolated from jejunum P(app) for eight bile acid monomers varied from 24.9 (taurocholate) to 1563 (deoxycholate) nmol/min/100 mg protein/mM. From these data the incremental free energy changes for the addition of a hydroxyl, glycine and taurine group to the bile acid molecule were calculated to be 982, 1040 and 1464 cal/mol, respectively, values similar to those obtained after correction for unstirred water layer resistance in whole tissue preparations. Following subtraction of the passive component in isolated ileal cells complete kinetic curves for taurocholate and taurodeoxycholate yielded V(app) values of 109 and 70 nmol/min per 100 mg, respectively. Km(app) values of 0.24 mM (taurocholate) and 0.10 mM (taurodeoxycholate) are lower than usually recorded in whole tissue. Bile acid uptake into cells from ileum, but not jejunum, was affected by temperature, metabolic and competitive inhibition. These studies indicate that isolated epithelial cells are a metabolically viable, relatively purified intestinal preparation which discriminates between active and passive transport processes for bile acids under conditions where unstirred water layer artifacts are minimized. 相似文献

Extensive work has been done regarding the impact of thiamine deprivation on the nervous system. In cardiac tissue, chronic thiamine deficiency is described to cause changes in the myocardium that can be associated with arrhythmias. However, compared with the brain, very little is known about the effects of thiamine deficiency on the heart. Thus this study was undertaken to explore whether thiamine deprivation has a role in cardiac arrhythmogenesis. We examined hearts isolated from thiamine-deprived and control rats. We measured heart rate, diastolic and systolic tension, and contraction and relaxation rates. Whole cell voltage clamp was performed in rat isolated cardiac myocytes to measure L-type Ca(2+) current. In addition, we investigated the global intracellular calcium transients by using confocal microscopy in the line-scan mode. The hearts from thiamine-deficient rats did not degenerate into ventricular fibrillation during 30 min of reperfusion after 15 min of coronary occlusion. The antiarrhythmogenic effects were characterized by the arrhythmia severity index. Our results suggest that hearts from thiamine-deficient rats did not experience irreversible arrhythmias. There was no change in L-type Ca(2+) current density. Inactivation kinetics of this current in Ca(2+)-buffered cells was retarded in thiamine-deficient cardiac myocytes. The global Ca(2+) release was significantly reduced in thiamine-deficient cardiac myocytes. The amplitude of caffeine-releasable Ca(2+) was lower in thiamine-deficient myocytes. In summary, we have found that thiamine deprivation attenuates the incidence and severity of postischemic arrhythmias, possibly through a mechanism involving a decrease in global Ca(2+) release. 相似文献

Changes in the amount of thiamine, reduced glutathione, thiamine diphosphate-dependent dehydrogenase activity has been traced after thiamine injection to thiamine-deficient rats and oxythiamine to normal rats. The obtained data show that a drop in reduced glutathione level was a primary reason of the alpha-keto-acid dehydrogenase activity reduction under conditions of the thiamine deficiency. The existence of immediate connection between thiamine and glutathione metabolism is supposed. 相似文献

This study assessed the effects of diet-induced thiamine deficiency in rats on two aspects of behavior, aggression and learning. Evidence of enhanced aggression (increased mouse killing) was noted with severe thiamine deficiency, but before the onset of overt neurological signs of thiamine deprivation. This behavioral change was rapidly reversible with thiamine. A similar degree of thiamine deficiency failed to alter learning of two-way shuttle-box avoidance acquisition. Animals with a gross neurological deficit did exhibit a major impairment in shuttle-box performance, but this was probably due to ataxia. However, when such rats were administered thiamine with total reversal of the neurological signs, testing in a three chambered Y-maze avoidance-discrimination apparatus also revealed impaired learning of both responses. These data demonstrate the presence of enhanced aggression during thiamine deprivation and of a persistent learning impairment in rats following reversal of this vitamin deficiency. 相似文献

Abstract— It is shown that transketolase activities in red blood cells and whole brain of normal and thiamine-deficient rats correlate well with heart frequencies.
The effect of thiamine depletion on the levels of acetylcoenzyme A (acetyl-CoA) and acetylcholine (ACh), and on the activities of pyruvate dehydrogenase, choline acetyl-transferase and acetylcholine esterase was studied in whole brains of thiamine-deficient, thiamine-supplemented ad libitum and pair-fed rats. The concentrations of acetyl-CoA and ACh decreased in thiamine-deficient brains by 42 and 35 per cent, respectively.
Total pyruvate dehydrogenase activity did not change during vitamin B1 deficiency. The 'resolved' enzyme, reconstituted with thiamine diphosphate, had an association constant of 5.4 × 10−6 m . Choline acetyltransferase and acetylcholine esterase activities remained unchanged in thiamine deficiency.
Possible mechanisms which could explain the reduced Ach levels in vitamin B1 deficiency are discussed. 相似文献

Kinetics of the transport systems common for entry of L-isoleucine, L-leucine, and L-valine in Salmonella typhimurium LT2 have been analyzed as a function of substrateconcentration in the range of 0.5 to 45 muM. The systems of transport mutants, KA203 (ilvT3) and KA204 (ilvT4), are composed of two components; apparent Km values for uptake of isoleucine, leucine, and valine by the low Km component are 2 muM, 2 to 3 muM, and 1 muM, respectively, and by the high Km component 30 muM, 20 to 40 muM, and 0.1 mM, respectively. The transport system(s) of the wild type has not been separated into components but rather displays single Km values of 9 muM for isoleucine, 10 muM for leucine, and 30 muM for valine. The transport activity of the wild type was repressed by L-leucine, alpha ketoisocaproate, glycyl-L-isoleucine, glycyl-L-leucine, and glycyl-L-methionine. That for the transport mutants was repressed by L-alanine, L-isoleucine, L-methionine, L-valine, alpha-ketoisovalerate, alpha-keto-beta-methylvalerate, glycyl-L-alanine, glycyl-L-threonine, and glycyl-L-valine, in addition to the compounds described above. Repression of the mutant transport systems resulted in disappearance of the low Km component for valine uptake, together with a decrease in Vmax of the high Km component; the kinetic analysis with isoleucine and leucine as substrates was not possible because of poor uptake. The maximum reduction of the transport activity for isoleucine was obtained after growing cells for two to three generations in a medium supplemented with repressor, and for the depression, protein synthesis was essential after removal of the repressor. The transport activity for labeled isoleucine in the transport mutant and wild-type strains was inhibited by unlabeled L-alanine, L-cysteine, L-isoleucine, L-leucine, L-methionine, L-threonine, and L-valine. D-Amino acids neither repressed nor inhibited the transport activity of cells for entry of isoleucine. 相似文献

Selective vulnerability to thiamine deficiency is known to occur between individuals and within different tissues. However, no comprehensive explanation for this has been found, and there are no reports that reproduce the cardiovascular manifestations of human wet beriberi in animals. We hypothesized that the distinction of substrate reliance, namely, the primary dependency on glucose as substrate, could be an underlying factor in the selective vulnerability of thiamine deficiency. In the setting of impaired fatty acid entry, which occurs in CD36-defect rats, substrate reliance shifts from fatty acid to glucose, which would be expected to lead to a susceptibility to thiamine deficiency. Genomic DNA was analyzed for CD36 defects in three cognate strains of rats [spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR)/NCrj, SHR/Izm, and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY)/NCrj], which identified the presence of a CD36 defect in SHR/NCrj rats but not in SHR/Izm and WKY/NCrj rats. Treatment with 2 wk of thiamine-depleted chow on 4-wk-old rats of each of these strains resulted in increased body and lung weight in the SHR/NCrj rats but not in the SHR/Izm and WKY/NCrj rats. The increased lung weight in the SHR/NCrj rats was accompanied with histological changes of congestive vasculopathy, which were not observed in either the SHR/Izm or the WKY/NCrj rats. Thiamine-deficient 12-wk-old SHR/NCrj rats demonstrated increased body weight (305.6 +/- 6.2 g in thiamine-deficient rats vs. 280.8 +/- 9.1 g in control; P < 0.0001), lactic acidemia (pH, 7.322 +/- 0.026 in thiamine-deficient rats vs. 7.443 +/- 0.016 in control; P < 0.0001; lactate, 2.42 +/- 0.28 mM in thiamine-deficient rats vs. 1.20 +/- 0.11 mM in control; P < 0.0001) and reduced systemic vascular resistance (4.61 +/- 0.42 x 104 dyn.s.cm-5 in thiamine-deficient rats vs. 6.55 +/- 1.36 x 104 dyn.s.cm-5 in control; P < 0.0001) with high cardiac output (186.0 +/- 24.7 ml in thiamine-deficient rats vs. 135.4 +/- 27.2 ml in control; P < 0.0019). In conclusion, SHR/NCrj rats harboring a genetic defect of long-chain fatty acid uptake present the relevant clinical cardiovascular signs of human wet beriberi, strongly indicating a close gene-environment interaction in wet beriberi. 相似文献

1. A technique is described that enables the kinetic characterisation of the saturable absorption mechanisms in the chicken jejunum and ileum for glucose and valine in vivo (after correction for non-saturating components and unstirred layers) by estimation of real Km and Jmax. 2. In the ileum both nutrients have lower real Km and higher Jmax values than in the jejunum indicating, at least for hexose and amino acids, that the ileal enterocytes are functionally equipped and anatomically well-sited to fulfil the role of scavengers of the small intestine. 相似文献

Lactobacillus casei cells have been shown previously to utilize two separate binding proteins for the transport of folate and thiamine. Folate transport, however, was found to be strongly inhibited by thiamine in spite of the fact that the folate-binding protein has no measurable affinity for thiamine. This inhibition, which did not fluctuate with intracellular adenosine triphosphate levels, occurred only in cells containing functional transport systems for both vitamins and was noncompetitive with folate but competitive with respect to the level of folate-binding protein. Folate uptake in cells containing optimally induced transport systems for both vitamins was inhibited by thiamine (1 to 10 muM) to a maximum of 45%; the latter value increased to 77% in cells that contained a progressively diminished folate transport system and a normal thiamine system. Cells preloaded with thiamine could transport folate at a normal rate, indicating that the inhibition resulted from the entry of thiamine rather than from its presence in the cell. In a similar fashion, folate (1 to 10 muM) did not interfere with the binding of thiamine to its transport protein, but inhibited thiamine transport (to a maximum of 25%). Competition also extended to biotin, whose transport was strongly inhibited (58% and 73%, respectively) by the simultaneous uptake of either folate or thiamine; biotin, however, had only a minimal effect on either folate or thiamine transport. The nicotinate transport system was unaffected by co-transport with folate, thiamine, or biotin. These results are consistent with the hypothesis that the folate, thiamine, and biotin transport systems of L. casei each function via a specific binding protein, and that they require, in addition, a common component present in limiting amounts per cell. The latter may be a protein required for the coupling of energy to these transport processes. 相似文献

To calculate the kinetic parameters of thiamine monophosphate transport across the rat blood-brain barrier in vivo, different doses of a [35S]thiamine monophosphate preparation with a specific activity of 14.8 mCi.mmol-1 were injected in the femoral vein and the radioactivity was measured in arterial femoral blood and in the cerebellum, cerebral cortex, pons, and medulla 20 s after the injection. This short experimental time was used to prevent thiamine monophosphate hydrolysis. Thiamine monophosphate was transported into the nervous tissue by a saturable mechanism. The maximal transport rate (Jmax) and the half-saturation concentration (Km) equaled 27-39 pmol.g-1.min-1 and 2.6-4.8 microM, respectively. When compared with that of thiamine, thiamine monophosphate transport seemed to be characterized by a lower affinity and a lower maximal influx rate. At physiological plasma concentrations, thiamine monophosphate transport rate ranged from 2.06 to 4.90 pmol.g-1.min-1, thus representing a significant component of thiamine supply to nervous tissue. 相似文献

Dietary deficiency of thiamine or pyridoxine has been shown to produce hyperoxaluria and renal stone formation in man and experimental animals. To determine the possible contribution of exogenous glyoxylate and oxalate, the intestinal transport of [14C] - oxalate and [14C] - glyoxylate was measured in vitamin B1 and B6 deficient rats and their respective pair-fed controls. Results indicate that glyoxylate and oxalate are passively diffused from lumen to lamina propria in thiamine deficient and their pair-fed controls with no significant change in the rate of uptake of both the substrates. However B6 deficient rats showed a significant enhancement in the rate of oxalate uptake due to development of a new biphasic transport system. The rate of glyoxylate uptake by simple passive diffusion remained unaltered in pyridoxine deficiency. 相似文献

Activity of the key enzymes of gluconeogenesis under alimentary thiamine deficiency (15 days of dietary treatment) was studied in the liver and kidney of fed and 48 h starved rats. As compared to pair-fed controls vitamin B1-deficiency was followed by a decrease of glucose 6-phosphatase and fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase activities in both organs; the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase was diminished only in the liver. Starvation of thiamine-deficient rats (as compared to pair-fed starved group) resulted in lower activation of these enzymes. The decrease of the enzyme activities in thiamine-deficient animals indicates that de novo glucose synthesis in the tissues is depressed, though thiamine-requiring enzymes are not directly involved in this process. Possible mechanisms of alterations described are discussed. 相似文献
