Much research has focused on understanding breeding synchronyin animals and its relationship to such issues as mating systemsand extrapair copulations in birds (Birkhead and Biggins, 1987;Emlen and Oring, 1977; Knowlton, 1979; Stutchbury and Morton,1995). To empirically examine synchrony, one needs an appropriatemeasure of the degree of synchrony in a population. Kempenaers(1993) presented an index of breeding synchrony (modified fromBjörklund and Westman, 1986) that has gained wide use asa simple representation of the degree to which breeding is synchronizedamong animals. This synchrony index (SI) is calculated as follows:

The Kv1.3 subunit confers a voltage-dependent, partialinactivation (time constant = 5.76 ± 0.14 ms at +50 mV), anenhanced slow inactivation, a hyperpolarizing shift in the activationmidpoint, and an increase in the deactivation time constant of theKv1.5 delayed rectifier. Removal of the first 10 amino acids fromKv1.3 eliminated the effects on fast and slow inactivation but notthe voltage shift in activation. Addition of the first 87 amino acids of Kv1.3 to the amino terminus of Kv1.5 reconstituted fast and slowinactivation without altering the midpoint of activation. Although aninternal pore mutation that alters quinidine block (V512A) did notaffect Kv1.3-mediated inactivation, a mutation of the external mouthof the pore (R485Y) increased the extent of fast inactivation whilepreventing the enhancement of slow inactivation. These data suggestthat 1) Kv1.3-mediated effects involve at least two distinct domains of this -subunit,2) inactivation involves openchannel block that is allosterically linked to the external pore, and3) the Kv1.3-induced shift in theactivation midpoint is functionally distinct from inactivation. 相似文献

Barstow, Thomas J., Andrew M. Jones, Paul H. Nguyen, andRichard Casaburi. Influence of muscle fiber type and pedal frequency on oxygen uptake kinetics of heavy exercise.J. Appl. Physiol. 81(4):1642-1650, 1996.We tested the hypothesis that the amplitude ofthe additional slow component ofO2 uptake(O2) during heavy exerciseis correlated with the percentage of type II (fast-twitch) fibers inthe contracting muscles. Ten subjects performed transitions to a workrate calculated to require aO2 equal to 50% betweenthe estimated lactate (Lac) threshold and maximalO2 (50%).Nine subjects consented to a muscle biopsy of the vastus lateralis. Toenhance the influence of differences in fiber type among subjects,transitions were made while subjects were pedaling at 45, 60, 75, and90 rpm in different trials. Baseline O2 was designed to besimilar at the different pedal rates by adjusting baseline work ratewhile the absolute increase in work rate above the baseline was thesame. The O2 response after the onset of exercise was described by a three-exponential model. Therelative magnitude of the slow component at the end of 8-min exercisewas significantly negatively correlated with %type I fibers at everypedal rate (r = 0.64 to 0.83, P < 0.05-0.01). Furthermore,the gain of the fast component forO2 (asml · min1 · W1)was positively correlated with the %type I fibers across pedal rates(r = 0.69-0.83). Increase inpedal rate was associated with decreased relative stress of theexercise but did not affect the relationships between%fiber type and O2parameters. The relative contribution of the slow component was alsosignificantly negatively correlated with maximalO2(r = 0.65), whereas the gainfor the fast component was positively associated(r = 0.68-0.71 across rpm). Theamplitude of the slow component was significantly correlated with netend-exercise Lac at all four pedal rates(r = 0.64-0.84), but Lac was notcorrelated with %type I (P > 0.05).We conclude that fiber type distribution significantly affects both thefast and slow components ofO2 during heavy exerciseand that fiber type and fitness may have both codependent andindependent influences on the metabolic and gas-exchange responses toheavy exercise. 相似文献

Laforgia, J., R. T. Withers, N. J. Shipp, and C. J. Gore.Comparison of energy expenditure elevations after submaximal andsupramaximal running. J. Appl.Physiol. 82(2): 661-666, 1997.Although exerciseintensity has been identified as a major determinant of the excesspostexercise oxygen consumption (EPOC), no studies have compared theEPOC after submaximal continuous running and supramaximal intervalrunning. Eight male middle-distance runners [age = 21.1 ± 3.1 (SD) yr; mass = 67.8 ± 5.1 kg; maximal oxygen consumption(O2 max) = 69.2 ± 4.0 ml · kg1 · min1] thereforecompleted two equated treatments of treadmill running (continuousrunning: 30 min at 70%O2 max; intervalrunning: 20 × 1-min intervals at 105%O2 max withintervening 2-min rest periods) and a control session (no exercise) ina counterbalanced research design. The 9-h EPOC values were 6.9 ± 3.8 and 15.0 ± 3.3 liters (t-test:P = 0.001) for the submaximal andsupramaximal treatments, respectively. These values represent 7.1 and13.8% of the net total oxygen cost of both treatments. Notwithstanding the higher EPOC for supramaximal interval running compared with submaximal continuous running, the major contribution of both to weightloss is therefore via the energy expended during the actual exercise. 相似文献

Repetitiveisometric tetanic contractions (1/s) of the caninegastrocnemius-plantaris muscle were studied either at optimal length(Lo) or shortlength (Ls;~0.9 · Lo),to determine the effects of initial length on mechanical and metabolicperformance in situ. Respective averages of mechanical and metabolicvariables were(Lo vs.Ls, allP < 0.05) passive tension (preload) = 55 vs. 6 g/g, maximal active tetanic tension(Po) = 544 vs. 174 (0.38 · Po)g/g, maximal blood flow () = 2.0 vs. 1.4 ml · min1 · g1,and maximal oxygen uptake(O2) = 12 vs. 9 µmol · min1 · g1.Tension at Lodecreased to0.64 · Po over20 min of repetitive contractions, demonstrating fatigue; there were nosignificant changes in tension atLs. In separatemuscles contracting atLo, was set to that measured atLs (1.1 ml · min1 · g1),resulting in decreased O2(7 µmol · min1 · g1),and rapid fatigue, to0.44 · Po. Thesedata demonstrate that 1)muscles at Lohave higher andO2 values than those at Ls;2) fatigue occurs atLo with highO2, adjusting metabolic demand (tension output) to match supply; and3) the lack of fatigue atLs with lowertension, , andO2 suggestsadequate matching of metabolic demand, set low by shortmuscle length, with supply optimized by low preload. Thesedifferences in tension andO2 betweenLo andLs groupsindicate that muscles contracting isometrically at initial lengthsshorter than Loare working under submaximal conditions. 相似文献

Oxygen consumption, glucose, lactate, andATP concentrations, as well as glucose and lactate turnover rates, havebeen studied in a three-dimensional carcinogenesis model of differentlytransformed rat embryo fibroblasts (spontaneously immortalized Rat1 andmyc-transfected M1, and the ras-transfected,tumorigenic descendants Rat1-T1 and MR1) to determine metabolicalterations that accompany tumorigenic conversion. Variousbioluminescence techniques, thymidine labeling, measurement ofPO2 distributions withmicroelectrodes, and determination of cellular oxygen uptake rates(cO2)have been applied. In the ras-transfected, tumorigenic spheroidtypes, the size dependencies of some of the measured parametersexhibited sharp breaks at diameters of ~830 µm for Rat1-T1 and~970 µm for MR1 spheroids, respectively, suggesting that somefundamental change in cell metabolism occurred at these characteristicdiameters (denoted as "metabolic switch").cO2decreased and lactate concentration increased as functions of sizebelow the characteristic diameters. Concomitantly, glucose and lactateturnover rates decreased in MR1 spheroids and increased inRat1-T1. Spheroids larger than the characteristic diameters (exhibitingcell quiescence and lactate accumulation) showed an enhancement ofcO2with size. Systematic variations in the ATP and glucose levels in theviable cell rim were observed for Rat1-T1 spheroids only. Proliferativeactivity, cO2,and ATP levels in small, nontumorigenic Rat1 and M1aggregates did not differ systematically from those recorded in thelargest spheroids of the corresponding ras transfectants.Unexpectedly, respiratory activity was present not only in viable butalso in the morphologically disintegrated core regions of M1aggregates. Our data suggest that myc but not rastransfection exerts major impacts on cell metabolism. Moreover, somekind of switch has been detected that triggers profound readjustment oftumor cell metabolism when proliferative activity begins tostagnate, and that is likely to initiate some other, yetunidentified energy-consuming process. 相似文献

In vitrorates of gross and net oxygen production were measuredas a function of light intensity in some plankton communitiescollected from Bedford Basin, Nova Scotia, and in a monoclonalculture of Synechococcus. The rate of gross oxygen productionwas measured by a technique in which the stable oxygen isotope,18O, serves as a photosynthetic tracer Net oxygen productionwas measured by automated Winkler technique. The rate of communityrespiration in the light was then determined by the differencebetween gross and net rates of oxygen production. In the naturalpopulations examined, neither gross nor net oxygen productionrates were significantly inhibited at the highest light intensitymeasured (500800 µE m2 s1) In a samplein which the dark respiration rate was small relative to themaximal rate of production [Pmax;sensu Platt et al (1980) JMar. Res., 38, 687701] the rates of lightrespiration were 3 times greater. In two other communities,with high rates of dark respiration relative to Pmaxthe ratesof light respiration were closer to rates of darkrespiration. In the Synechococcus clone, both gross and netoxygen production rates were inhibited at high light intensities.Rates of light respiration were found to varyas a function of light intensity. The greatest rates of respirationwere measured in samples incubated at light intensities thatwere just saturating (100 µE m2 s1). Therates of 14C production were also measured as a function oflight intensity The photosynthetic quotients, based on 14C productionrates and gross oxygen production rates, average 1 9 相似文献

We have cloned andcharacterized the opt1 gene ofDrosophila melanogaster. This geneencodes a protein with significant similarity to the PTR family ofoligopeptide transporters. The OPT1 protein is localized to the apicalepithelial membrane domains of the midgut, rectum, and femalereproductive tract. The opt1 message is maternally loaded into developing oocytes, and OPT1 is found in the-yolk spheres of the developing embryo. It is also found throughoutthe neuropil of the central nervous system, with elevated expressionwithin the - and -lobes of the mushroom bodies. Transport activity was examined in HeLa cells transiently expressing OPT1. Thisprotein is a high-affinity transporter of alanylalanine; theapproximate Kmconstant is 48.8 µM for this substrate. OPT1 dipeptide transportactivity is proton dependent. The ability of selected -lactams toinhibit alanylalanine transport suggests that OPT1 has a broadspecificity in amino acid side chains and has a substrate requirementfor an -amino group. Together these data suggest an important rolefor OPT1 in regulating amino acid availability. 相似文献

Prolonged fasting significantly changes nutrient oxidation and glucose tolerance after a normal mixed meal 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The aim of this study wasto establish the experimental paradigm of fasting, followed byrefeeding, to investigate individual differences in nutrientpartitioning. Eight nonobese men were fed a normal meal (25% ofdaily energy requirements) on two occasions, after an overnight (13-h)fast and after a prolonged (72-h) fast. During the entire fastingperiod, subjects were resident in a whole room indirect calorimeter,and blood samples were drawn periodically. Because no other food wasconsumed over the 12 h after either meal, negative energy balancewas observed after the overnight and prolonged fast. Postprandialcarbohydrate oxidation was significantly reduced after the 72- vs. 13-hfast (P < 0.0001), whereas fat oxidation wassignificantly increased (P < 0.0001). Interestingly,carbohydrate balance was positive after the prolonged fast but negativeafter the overnight fast (24 ± 17 vs. 57 ± 16 g/12 h,respectively; P < 0.001), whereas fat balance wasnegative under both conditions (78 ± 7 vs. 47 ± 8 g/12h, respectively; P < 0.002). With 72 h offasting, the glucose and insulin excursions in response to the mixedmeal were significantly greater compared with the 13-h fast(P < 0.001). In conclusion, prolonged fasting resulted in a significant decrease in carbohydrate oxidation and anincrease in fat oxidation, after a normal mixed meal, in healthy men.This was associated with a significant decrease in glucose tolerance.Because circulating free fatty acids were greatly elevated at all timesafter the prolonged fast, these may be mediating some of the changes inpostprandial metabolism. 相似文献

Mechanisms of Inhibition of Water Movement in Anaerobically Treated Roots of Zea mays L. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Changes in water flux (Jv) across detopped, 7-d-old, maize rootswere characterized during the initial 24 h of being made anoxicby exposure to an anaerobic nutrient solution. Suction (50 kPa)was applied to the xylem and samples of the xylem sap were collectedat intervals and the osmolality and ionic content were measured. Values of Jv through anoxic roots fell below those of aerobiccontrols 1 h after the equilibrium oxygen partial pressure inthe bathing medium dropped below 20 kPa (air = 20.6 kPa). Thereduction in Jv was due primarily to a nullification of thediurnal rhythm in hydraulic conductivity (Lp) that was measuredin aerobic roots. However, about one-quarter of the reductionin Jv could be accounted for by a smaller osmotic componentof the driving force () on water movement. The significance of changes in Jv in anoxic roots is discussedin terms of the reliability of estimates of Lp, the reflectioncoefficient () and .

Cholecystokinin induction of mob-1 chemokine expression in pancreatic acinar cells requires NF-kappa B activation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Inflammatory mediators are involved in the early phase of acutepancreatitis, but the cellular mechanisms responsible for theirgeneration within pancreatic cells are unknown. We examined the role ofnuclear factor-B (NF-B) in cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8)-induced mob-1 chemokineexpression in pancreatic acinar cells in vitro. Supraphysiological, butnot physiological, concentrations of CCK-8 increased inhibitory B(IB-) degradation, NF-B activation, andmob-1 gene expression in isolatedpancreatic acinar cells. CCK-8-induced IB- degradation wasmaximal within 1 h. Expression ofmob-1 was maximal within 2 h. Neitherbombesin nor carbachol significantly increasedmob-1 mRNA or induced IB-degradation. Thus the concentration, time, and secretagogue dependenceof mob-1 gene expression and IB-degradation were similar. Inhibition of NF-B with pharmacologicalagents or by adenovirus-mediated expression of the inhibitory proteinIB- also inhibited mob-1 geneexpression. These data indicate that the NF-B signaling pathway isrequired for CCK-8-mediated induction ofmob-1 chemokine expression inpancreatic acinar cells. This supports the hypothesis that NF-Bsignaling is of central importance in the initiation of acute pancreatitis. 相似文献

In cardiacsarcolemmal vesicles, MgATP stimulatesNa+/Ca2+exchange with the following characteristics:1) increases 10-fold the apparentaffinity for cytosolic Ca2+;2) a Michaelis constant for ATP of~500 µM; 3) requires micromolar vanadate while millimolar concentrations are inhibitory;4) not observed in the presence of20 µM eosin alone but reinstated when vanadate is added;5) mimicked by adenosine5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate), without the need for vanadate, but not by ,-methyleneadenosine 5'-triphosphate; and 6) notaffected by unspecific protein alkaline phosphatase but abolished by aphosphatidylinositol-specific phospholipase C (PI-PLC). The PI-PLCeffect is counteracted by phosphatidylinositol. In addition, in theabsence of ATP,L--phosphatidylinositol4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was ableto stimulate the exchanger activity in vesicles pretreated with PI-PLC.This MgATP stimulation is not related to phosphorylation of thecarrier, whereas phosphorylation appeared in the phosphoinositides,mainly PIP2, thatcoimmunoprecipitate with the exchanger. Vesicles incubated with MgATPand no Ca2+ show a markedsynthesis ofL--phosphatidylinositol4-monophosphate (PIP) with little production ofPIP2; in the presence of 1 µM Ca2+, the net synthesis of PIP issmaller, whereas that of PIP2increases ninefold. These results indicate thatPIP2 is involved in the MgATPstimulation of the cardiacNa+/Ca2+exchanger through a fast phosphorylation chain: aCa2+-independent PIP formationfollowed by a Ca2+-dependentsynthesis of PIP2. 相似文献

Ethanol inhibition of large-conductance,Ca2+-activated K+ (BKCa) channelsin aortic myocytes may contribute to the direct contraction of aorticsmooth muscle produced by acute alcohol exposure. In this tissue,BKCa channels consist of pore-forming (bslo) and modulatory () subunits. Here, modulation of aortic myocyteBKCa channels by acute alcohol was explored by expressingbslo subunits in Xenopus oocytes, in the absenceand presence of 1-subunits, and studying channelresponses to clinically relevant concentrations of ethanol in excisedmembrane patches. Overall, average values of bslo channelactivity (NPo, with N = no. ofchannels present in the patch; Po = probability of a single channel being open) in response to ethanol(3-200 mM) mildly decrease when compared with pre-ethanol,isosmotic controls. However, channel responses show qualitativeheterogeneity at all ethanol concentrations. In the majority of patches(42/71 patches, i.e., 59%), a reversible reduction inNPo is observed. In this subset, the maximaleffect is obtained with 100 mM ethanol, at whichNPo reaches 46.2 ± 9% of control. Thepresence of 1-subunits, which determines channel sensitivity to dihydrosoyaponin-I and 17-estradiol, fails to modifyethanol action on bslo channels. Ethanol inhibition of bslo channels results from a marked increase in the meanclosed time. Although the voltage dependence of gating remainsunaffected, the apparent effectiveness of Ca2+ to gate thechannel is decreased by ethanol. These changes occur withoutmodifications of channel conduction. In conclusion, a new molecularmechanism that may contribute to ethanol-induced aortic smooth musclecontraction has been identified and characterized: a functionalinteraction between ethanol and the bslo subunit and/or itslipid microenvironment, which leads to a decrease in BKCachannel activity. 相似文献

All but five of the 46 contributionsin this symposium volume have been published already as a specialissue in Volume 255 of Plant and Soil in 2003. They are reproducedin exactly the same format and with the same pagination as inthe journal. To anyone who has access to Plant and Soil thisbook would therefore not be a sensible purchase. This is allthe more true because the editor has not provided any commentaryon the papers or subdivided them 相似文献

Aerosolizedmanganese SOD decreases hyperoxic pulmonary injury in primates. II.Morphometric analysis. J. Appl.Physiol. 83(2): 559-568, 1997.Hyperoxia damages lung parenchyma via increased cellular production of reactive oxygenspecies that exceeds antioxidant defenses. We hypothesized thataerosolized human recombinant manganese superoxide dismutase (rhMnSOD)would augment extracellular antioxidant defenses and attenuateepithelial injury in the lung during hyperoxia in primates. Twenty-fouradult male baboons were anesthetized and mechanically ventilated with100% oxygen for 96 h. The baboons were divided equally into fourgroups. Oxygen alone and oxygen plus rhMnSOD given at 3 mg · kg1 · day1were compared to assess efficacy of the drug. Subsequently, aerosolized rhMnSOD was given at 1 or 10 mg · kg1 · day1to study dose effects and toxicity. Quantitative morphometry showedprotection of alveolar epithelium from hyperoxia by 3 mg · kg1 · day1rhMnSOD (P < 0.05). In addition,interstitial fibroblast volumes were increased in the treatment group(P = 0.06). This effect appearedgreater at the two higher doses of the rhMnSOD. The aerosolized drugwas localized to the surface of airways and air spaces and macrophagesby immunolabeling studies, suggesting efficacy via physicochemicalproperties that localize it to cell surfaces or by effects on alveolarmacrophage function. 相似文献
