An experiment was conducted to measure plasma oxytocin concentrations at 4 different stages of the estrous cycle in 11 pony mares. Plasma oxytocin concentrations (muU/ml +/- SE) were found to be higher (P<.01) on day 2 of estrous (39.8 +/- 12.5) and day 5 post-ovulation (33.1 +/- 12.0) than on day 10 (2.3 +/- 1.6) and day 15 post-ovulation (6.8 +/- 4.1). A second experiment was conducted to measure jugular plasma oxytocin concentrations before and after sexual arousal in six pony stallions. Oxytocin concentrations (muU/ml +/- SE) were higher (P<0.06) after sexual arousal (50.5 +/- 8.9) than before sexual arousal (23.8 +/- 2.9). These data suggest plasma oxytocin concentrations may be associated with ovarian function in mares and with sexual behavior in stallions. 相似文献

The response in serum thyrotropin (TSH) to synthetic thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) as well as serum free thyroxine index (FT4I) and free triiodothyronine index (FT3I) was investigated in six patients with familial thyroxine-binding-globulin (TBG) deficiency. The total serum thyroxine (T4) and triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations were significantly decreased, compared with those of normal subjects (3.4 +/- 0.9 microgram/dl, mean +/- SD. vs. 9.0 +/- 1.5 microgram/dl, p less than 0.01 and 87 +/- 27 ng/dl vs. 153 +/- 37 ng/dl, p less than 0.01, respectively). FT4I was lower than the normal range in all but one (5.3 +/- 1.5 vs. 8.9 +/- 1.6, p less than 0.01), whereas FT3I was all in the normal range and of no significant difference from the normal control (132 +/- 22 vs. 148 +/- 25). Serum TSH concentrations in TBG deficiency were all in the normal range (1.0-4.2 muU/ml) and the maximum TSH increments following TRH 500 microgram iv were 8.9 +/- 2.0 muU/ml and of no significant difference from the normal control (10.2 +/- 4.5 muU/ml). These results indicate that the euthyroid state in familial TBG deficiency is more clearly defined by TRH-test and the normal response to TRH in familial TBG deficiency is presumably under the control of the serum free T3 level rather than the serum free T4 level. 相似文献

Evidence of biological activity of fragments of ANG II is accumulating. Fragments considered being inactive degradation products might mediate actions previously attributed to ANG II. The study aimed to determine whether angiotensin fragments exert biological activity when administered in amounts equimolar to physiological doses of ANG II. Cardiovascular, endocrine, and renal effects of ANG II, ANG III, ANG IV, and ANG-(1-7) (6 pmol.kg-1.min-1) were investigated in conscious dogs during acute inhibition of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (enalaprilate) and aldosterone (canrenoate). Furthermore, ANG III was investigated by step-up infusion (30 and 150 pmol.kg-1.min-1). Arterial plasma concentrations [ANG immunoreactivity (IR)] were determined by an ANG II antibody cross-reacting with ANG III and ANG IV. Metabolic clearance rates were higher for ANG III and ANG IV (391 +/- 19 and 274 +/- 13 ml.kg-1.min-1, respectively) than for ANG II (107 +/- 13 ml.kg-1.min-1). ANG II increased ANG IR by 60 +/- 7 pmol/ml, blood pressure by 30%, increased plasma aldosterone markedly (to 345 +/- 72 pg/ml), and plasma vasopressin transiently, while reducing glomerular filtration rate (40 +/- 2 to 33 +/- 2 ml/min), sodium excretion (50 +/- 7 to 16 +/- 4 micromol/min), and urine flow. Equimolar amounts of ANG III induced similar antinatriuresis (57 +/- 8 to 19 +/- 3 micromol/min) and aldosterone secretion (to 268 +/- 71 pg/ml) at much lower ANG IR increments ( approximately 1/7) without affecting blood pressure, vasopressin, or glomerular filtration rate. The effects of ANG III exhibited complex dose-response relations. ANG IV and ANG-(1-7) were ineffective. It is concluded that 1) plasma clearances of ANG III and ANG IV are higher than those of ANG II; 2) ANG III is more potent than ANG II in eliciting immediate sodium and potassium retention, as well as aldosterone secretion, particularly at low concentrations; and 3) the complexity of the ANG III dose-response relationships provides indirect evidence that several effector mechanisms are involved. 相似文献

Endocrine and renal parameters were measured in a desert rodent, Meriones crassus. In virgin females, the urine and plasma osmolality was 2018 +/- 136 and 325 +/- 3 mosm/kg (m +/- SEM), the level of circulating vasopressin, 162 +/- 22 pg/ml and the plasma renin activity 14.3 +/- 0.9 ng/ml per h. During pregnancy, the renin-angiotensin system was activated, and the plasma vasopressin values remained similar to those of virgin animals in spite of a lower blood plasma osmotic pressure. During this period, the regulation of the hydromineral balance was modified. These data suggest a lowering of the osmotic thresholds for vasopressin and possibly also for thirst during pregnancy in this desert rodent. 相似文献

The effect of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using high dose fentanyl anaesthesia on the concentrations of plasma arginine vasopressin (pAVP), serum electrolytes and osmolality was studied in 12 patients by repeated sampling up to 4th postoperative day. These values were also followed in another 20 patients for the first postoperative day. Fentanyl abolished the pAVP response often seen in major operations but not that produced by CBP. The pAVP concentration 4.8 +/- 0.8 pg/ml immediately after sternotomy increased to 27.2 +/- 1.5 pg/ml (P less than 0.001) after 5-10 minutes on CPB. By the 4th postoperative day the pAVP levels had reached normal values. The main reason for the elevated pAVP concentrations seems to be the onset of CPB, which provokes a fall in mean arterial pressure leading to pAVP release. 相似文献

Effects of hypobaric hypoxemia on endocrine and renal parameters of body fluid homeostasis were investigated in eight normal men during a sojourn of 8 days at an altitude of 4,559 m. Endocrine and renal responses to an osmotic stimulus (5% hypertonic saline, 3.6 ml/kg over 1 h) were investigated at sea level and on day 6 at altitude. Several days of hypobaric hypoxemia reduced body weight (-2.1 +/- 0.4 kg), increased plasma osmolality (+5.3 +/- 1.4 mosmol/kgH(2)O), elevated blood pressure (+12 +/- 1 mmHg), reduced creatinine clearance (122 +/- 6 to 96 +/- 10 ml/min), inhibited the renin system (19.5 +/- 2.0 to 10.9 +/- 0.9 mU/l) and plasma vasopressin (1.14 +/- 0.16 to 0.38 +/- 0.06 pg/ml), and doubled circulating levels of norepinephrine (103 +/- 16 to 191 +/- 35 pg/ml) and endothelin-1 (3.0 +/- 0.2 to 6.3 +/- 0.6 pg/ml), whereas urodilatin excretion rate decreased from day 2 (all changes P < 0.05 compared with sea level). Plasma arginine vasopressin response and the antidiuretic response to hypertonic saline loading were unchanged, but the natriuretic response was attenuated. In conclusion, chronic hypobaric hypoxemia 1) elevates the set point of plasma osmolality-to-plasma vasopressin relationship, possibly because of concurrent hypertension, thereby causing hypovolemia and hyperosmolality, and 2) blunts the natriuretic response to hypertonic volume expansion, possibly because of elevated circulating levels of norepinephrine and endothelin, reduced urodilatin synthesis, or attenuated inhibition of the renin system. 相似文献

We tested the hypothesis that 1-desamino-8-D-arginine vasopressin (DDAVP), a V2-receptor agonist, could inhibit the diuresis induced by water immersion in humans. Water and electrolyte excretion, plasma atrial natriuretic factor concentration, and plasma aldosterone concentration were measured initially and after 3 h of water immersion in 13 healthy sodium-replete men given either placebo or 20 micrograms of intranasal DDAVP. Guanosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate and urea excretion and urine osmolality were also determined. DDAVP inhibited the diuresis induced by water immersion in men: 758 +/- 168 (SE) ml/3 h in the placebo group vs. 159 +/- 28 ml/3 h in the DDAVP group (P less than 0.05). After 3 h of water immersion, plasma atrial natriuretic factor concentrations were increased from 11 +/- 2 to 20 +/- 4 pg/ml in the placebo group and from 14 +/- 2 to 33 +/- 4 pg/ml in the DDAVP group (P less than 0.05). Plasma aldosterone concentrations were decreased from 98 +/- 18 to 45 +/- 6 pg/ml in the placebo group (P less than 0.05) and from 54 +/- 17 to 25 +/- 5 pg/ml in the DDAVP group (P less than 0.05). Despite these changes in aldosterone and atrial natriuretic factor concentrations, which should increase sodium excretion, DDAVP decreased the natriuresis induced by water immersion in humans: 56 +/- 8 meq Na+/3 h in the placebo group vs. 36 +/- 6 meq Na+/3 h in the DDAVP group (P less than 0.05). DDAVP may be used to prevent the diuresis associated with central redistribution of blood volumes that occur during water immersion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The concentrations of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in atria, hypothalami and plasma were investigated in relation to the variations of the plasma endogenous immunoreactive arginine vasopressin (Ir-AVP) during water deprivation or hemorrhage in normal conscious Wistar rats. Furthermore, the in vitro and in vivo effect of extracellular hyperosmolarity on ANP release from right atrium and hypothalamus was examined. Water deprivation elevated circulating immunoreactive ANP (Ir-ANP: pg/ml) to 153 +/- 7 (24 h); 174 +/- 1 (48 h) from the control level (109.6 +/- 7.8). This increase in Ir-ANP concentration which correlated with atrial (r = -0.93) or hypothalamic (r = -0.87) Ir-ANP content decrease, was associated with significantly enhanced levels of plasma Ir-AVP, plasma sodium, osmolarity and hematocrit. An acute volume depletion by hemorrhage significantly reduced plasma Ir-ANP (67 +/- 8.4 pg/ml) from the sham operated level (140 +/- 18 pg/ml). Plasma Ir-AVP was elevated dramatically (207.4 +/- 53.4 pg/ml) compared with the sham operated level (8.8 +/- 2.6 pg/ml). These results, indicating the lack of correlation between plasma Ir-ANP and Ir-AVP in vivo, suggest that the ANP secretion, which is regulated mainly by plasma volume, may be modulated by a change in plasma osmolarity. Extracellular hyperosmolarity stimulated the ANP release from superfused sliced normal rat atria and hypothalami. 相似文献

The factors associated with the exercise-induced increase in plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) have not been clearly established. Thus the purpose of the study was to further document the stimulus for the exercise-induced release of ANP and to examine the role of ANP in the control of hydromineral balance during exercise. Eight healthy male volunteers (25.1 +/- 4.5 yr) were submitted to a graded cycling exercise in both the upright and supine positions. Venous blood was sampled at rest and at the end of each 5-min work load at 40, 60, and 80% maximal oxygen uptake (Vo2max), at maximal exercise, and during recovery through an indwelling catheter for the determination of plasma vasopressin, aldosterone, catecholamines, plasma renin activity, and ANP concentrations. Results indicate a significant increase in ANP (pg/ml) from rest to maximal exercise in the upright position [rest, 21.9 +/- 10.2; 40%, 24.7 +/- 12.6; 60%, 32.4 +/- 17*; 80%, 47.8 +/- 27.7*; 100% Vo2max, 65.9 +/- 34.5* (*P less than or equal to 0.05)]. Supine concentrations were significantly higher than upright at 40 (37.9 +/- 15.2), 60 (54.0 +/- 18.8), and 80% Vo2max (68.9 +/- 16.6). Plasma ANP during maximal exercise was similar in both positions. Plasma vasopressin, aldosterone, renin activity, and catecholamines increased with increasing exercise intensity in both positions, although lower values were systematically observed in the supine position. The association of higher plasma ANP and blunted plasma vasopressin, plasma renin activity, and norepinephrine concentrations during supine exercise suggests that ANP may exert modulatory effects on the control of the hydromineral hormonal system during exercise. 相似文献

Oestradiol-17 beta concentrations were measured by radioimmunoassay in peripheral blood samples from 10 tammar wallabies after their pouch young were removed to terminate embryonic diapause. Oestradiol concentrations rose from 8.3 +/- 1.2 pg/ml on Days 3 and 4 to peak of 15.8 +/- 2.9 pg/ml on Day 5, coincident with an increase in 'progesterone' concentrations, and then fell to 10.5 +/- 2.7 pg/ml on Day 7. No changes in oestradiol concentrations were associated with parturition. Five females came into oestrus and mated 9.8 +/- 6.1 h post partum; peak concentrations of plasma oestradiol (20.9 +/- 2.1 pg/ml) occurred around the time of mating. None of the females that did not mate up to the end of the experiment at Day 30 had a rise in plasma oestradiol concentrations. Corpora lutea contained 20-100 pg oestradiol during pregnancy. The highest ovarian oestradiol content (greater than 1200 pg) was measured in whole ovaries containing Graafian follicles from full-term pregnant females. The rise in oestradiol concentrations at Day 5 may be important in the termination of diapause. The post-partum increase in plasma oestradiol concentrations coincides with oestrus. The source of this oestrogen appears to be the preovulatory follicle. 相似文献

Prevention of the normal expansion of maternal plasma volume: a model for chronic fetal hypoxaemia 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of inadequate expansion of maternal blood volume on uterine blood flow, fetal oxygen levels and vasoactive mediators during the third trimester were studied in 8 pregnant sheep. Results were compared to those obtained during 15 normal pregnancies. Prevention of the normal (20 ml/day) increase in maternal plasma volume was achieved by repeated haemorrhage and injections of furosemide. These treatments also reduced the rise in blood flow to the pregnant uterine horn that normally occurs during this period of gestation: at term flow was only 508 +/- 61 (SEM) compared to 838 +/- 83 ml/min in the control group (P greater than 0.01). This reduction in uterine blood flow caused a gradual fall in fetal PaO2, and rise in fetal levels of plasma renin activity, vasopressin, catecholamines and angiotensin II without change in pHa or base excess. Four to 5 days prior to delivery, the difference from control in PaO2 was -3.9 +/- 0.5 mmHg, plasma renin activity +2.9 +/- 1.7 ng/ml.h, vasopressin +4.2 +/- 1.1 pg/ml, catecholamines +957 +/- 145.3 pg/ml and angiotensin II +243 +/- 108.2 pg/ml. Furthermore, the fall in PaO2 and rise in vasoactive mediators that normally occur 3-5 days prior to the onset of labour was either absent (PaO2 and plasma renin activity) or blunted. Thus when expansion of blood volume during pregnancy is inadequate, blood flow to the uterus is adversely affected. This leads to various degrees of chronic fetal hypoxaemia and stimulation of vasoactive mediator systems. However, the normal stimulation of vasoactive mediator systems that occurs 3-5 days before delivery appears to be blunted. Experimental prevention of blood volume expansion during pregnancy produces an excellent model for the study of chronic mild fetal hypoxaemia. 相似文献

The hypothesis that increases in plasma sodium induce natriuresis independently of changes in body fluid volume was tested in six slightly dehydrated seated subjects on controlled sodium intake (150 mmol/day). NaCl (3.85 mmol/kg) was infused intravenously over 90 min as isotonic (Iso) or as hypertonic saline (Hyper, 855 mmol/l). After Hyper, plasma sodium increased by 3% (142.0 +/- 0.6 to 146.2 +/- 0.5 mmol/l). During Iso a small decrease occurred (142.3 +/- 0.6 to 140.3 +/- 0.7 mmol/l). Iso increased estimates of plasma volume significantly more than Hyper. However, renal sodium excretion increased significantly more with Hyper (291 +/- 25 vs. 199 +/- 24 micromol/min). This excess was not mediated by arterial pressure, which actually decreased slightly. Creatinine clearance did not change measurably. Plasma renin activity, ANG II, and aldosterone decreased very similarly in Iso and Hyper. Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide remained unchanged, whereas plasma vasopressin increased with Hyper (1.4 +/- 0.4 to 3.1 +/- 0.5 pg/ml) and decreased (1.3 +/- 0.4 to 0.6 +/- 0.1 pg/ml) after Iso. In conclusion, the natriuretic response to Hyper was 50% larger than to Iso, indicating that renal sodium excretion may be determined partly by plasma sodium concentration. The mechanism is uncertain but appears independent of changes in blood pressure, glomerular filtration rate, the renin system, and atrial natriuretic peptide. 相似文献

Maternal dehydration consistent with mild water deprivation or moderate exercise results in maternal and fetal plasma hyperosmolality and increased plasma arginine vasopressin (AVP). Previous studies have demonstrated a reduction in fetal urine and lung fluid production in response to maternal dehydration or exogenous fetal AVP. As fetal urine and perhaps lung liquid combine to produce amniotic fluid, maternal dehydration may affect the amniotic fluid volume and/or composition. In the present study, six chronically-prepared pregnant ewes with singleton fetuses (128 +/- 1 day) were water deprived for 54 h to determine the effect on amniotic fluid. Maternal plasma osmolality (306.5 +/- 0.9 to 315.6 +/- 1.9 mOsm/kg) and AVP (1.9 +/- 0.2 to 22.2 +/- 3.2 pg/ml) significantly increased during dehydration. Similarly, fetal plasma osmolality (300.0 +/- 0.9 to 312.7 +/- 1.7 mOsm/kg) and AVP (1.4 +/- 0.1 to 10.4 +/- 2.4 pg/ml) increased in parallel to maternal values. Amniotic fluid osmolality (276.8 +/- 5.7 to 311.6 +/- 6.5 mOsm/kg) and sodium (139.8 +/- 4.8 to 154.0 +/- 5.4 mEq/l) and potassium (9.1 +/- 1.3 to 13.9 +/- 2.4 mEq/l) concentrations increased while a significant (35%) reduction in amniotic fluid volume occurred (871 +/- 106 to 520 +/- 107 ml). These results indicate that maternal dehydration may have marked effects on maternal-fetal-amniotic fluid dynamics, possibly contributing to the development of oligohydramnios. 相似文献

Nitric oxide has been suggested to be involved in the regulation of fluid and nutrient homeostasis. In the present investigation, vasopressin and nitric oxide metabolite (nitrite and nitrate) levels were determined in plasma of male Wistar rats submitted to water or food deprivation for three days. Hematocrit and plasma sodium showed marked increase in dehydrated and starved rats. Potassium levels and plasma volume decreased in both treated groups. Plasma osmolality and vasopressin levels were significantly elevated in water deprived (362.8 +/- 7.1 mOsm/kg H2O, 17.3 +/- 2.7 pg/ml, respectively, p < 0.001) rats, but not in food deprived (339.9 +/- 5.0, 1.34 +/- 0.28) rats, compared to the controls (326.1 +/- 4.1, 1.47 +/- 0.32). The alterations observed in plasma vasopressin levels were related to plasma osmolality rather than plasma volume. Plasma levels of nitrite and nitrate were markedly increased in both water and food deprived rats (respectively, 2.19 +/- 0.29 mg/l and 2.22 +/- 0.17 mg/l versus 1.33 +/- 0.19 mg/l, both p < 0.01). There was a significant negative correlation between plasma nitrite and nitrate concentration and plasma volume. These results suggest that both dehydration and starvation increase plasma nitric oxide, probably by activation of nitric oxide synthases. The release of nitric oxide may participate in the regulation of the alteration in blood flow, fluid and nutrient metabolism caused by water deprivation or starvation. 相似文献

Concentrations of testosterone and androsterone in peripheral and umbilical venous plasma of fetal rats 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Mean +/- s.d. testosterone concentrations in the peripheral plasma of 21- and 22-day-old male fetuses (1.32 +/- 0.43 ng/ml) were significantly (P less than 0.05) higher than those in the umbilical venous plasma (0.37 +/- 0.08 ng/ml). Testosterone concentrations in umbilical venous plasma of male and female (0.29 +/- 0.06 ng/ml) fetuses and in peripheral plasma of female fetuses (0.36 +/- 0.10 ng/ml) were not significantly different. Androsterone levels measured in umbilical venous plasma of male (11.5 +/- 2.5 ng/ml) and female (12.3 +/- 2.1 ng/ml) fetuses were nearly as high as those in peripheral plasma (males, 12.9 +/- 3.1; females, 13.3 +/- 3.5 ng/ml). There were high concentrations of androsterone in the placentas of male (33 +/- 4 ng/g) and female (33 +/- 5 ng/ml) fetuses, suggesting that this organ is the major source of fetal androsterone. We also conclude that a major part of the testosterone present in female fetuses is secreted by the placentas. 相似文献

The aim of this work is to investigate on plasma profiles of leptin and estradiol 17beta during the interpartum period and leptin concentrations in the milk and in the colostrum during the period from parturition to the successive delivery in mare. Leptin plasma concentration varied from 5.1+/-2.3 ng/ml after the first parturition (week 0) to 3.0+/-0.7 at week 21 (p<0.05), then it increased to maximal level at week 49 (6.9+/-1.0 ng/ml, p<0.05). Leptin concentration in the colostrum and in the milk has been significantly (p<0.05) higher than that in plasma samples at week 1 (milk 8.8+/-2.3 versus plasma 5.2+/-0.6 ng/ml) and between week 12 and 17. This difference may be explained with a local leptin production at mammary level and supports a role of leptin in the mammary gland and/or in foal intestine. Estradiol 17beta increased from week 15 (17.9+/-2.3 pg/ml) up to 487.9+/-67.7 pg/ml at week 43. Plasma estradiol 17beta rise anticipated by 4 weeks plasma leptin increase and it does not seem to be positively correlated to leptin secretion. 相似文献

A study was performed to determine the levels of estrogens and prostaglandin F(2)alpha in the stallion ejaculate. Simultaneous semen and blood plasma samples were collected from 19 stallions, 2 weeks apart, during the breeding season. Although not statistically different, the total mean estrogen content tended to be higher in seminal plasma (4447 pg/ml) than in blood (2497 pg/ml). A tendency was found for higher mean estrone sulphate concentrations than for total free steroid in both seminal (4116.1 vs 330.5 pg/ml) and blood plasma (2447.1 vs 49.5 pm/ml). Mean concentrations of estrone in ejaculate and blood plasma were 257.1 +/- 267.0 (SD) and 9.5 +/- 5.4 pg/ml, respectively. Estradiol-17beta concentrations were 73.4 +/- 87.4 and 40.0 +/- 27.6 pg/ml in ejaculates and blood plasma, respectively. Mean PGF(2)alpha concentrations tended to be much higher than total estrogens (1106.8 +/- 1636.4, SD, vs approximately 260 ng/ejaculate, respectively). To our knowledge this is the first report of PGF(2)alpha and estrogen concentrations in the stallion ejaculate. 相似文献

Effect of leg exercise training on vascular volumes during 30 days of 6 degrees head-down bed rest. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Plasma and red cell volumes, body density, and water balance were measured in 19 men (32-42 yr) confined to bed rest (BR). One group (n = 5) had no exercise training (NOE), another near-maximal variable-intensity isotonic exercise for 60 min/day (ITE; n = 7), and the third near-maximal intermittent isokinetic exercise for 60 min/day (IKE; n = 7). Caloric intake was 2,678-2,840 kcal/day; mean body weight (n = 19) decreased by 0.58 +/- 0.35 (SE) kg during BR due to a negative fluid balance (diuresis) on day 1. Mean energy costs for the NOE, and IKE, and ITE regimens were 83 (3.6 +/- 0.2 ml O2.min-1.kg-1), 214 (8.9 +/- 0.5 ml.min-1.kg-1), and 446 kcal/h (18.8 +/- 1.6 ml.min-1.kg-1), respectively. Body densities within groups and mean urine volumes (1,752-1,846 ml/day) between groups were unchanged during BR. Resting changes in plasma volume (ml/kg) after BR were -1.5 +/- 2.3% (NS) in ITE, -14.7 +/- 2.8% (P less than 0.05) in NOE, and -16.8 +/- 2.9% (P less than 0.05) in IKE, and mean water balances during BR were +295, -106, and +169 ml/24 h, respectively. Changes in red cell volume followed changes in plasma volume. The significant chronic decreases in plasma volume in the IKE and NOE groups and its maintenance in the ITE group could not be accounted for by water balance or by responses of the plasma osmotic, protein, vasopressin, or aldosterone concentrations or plasma renin activity. There was close coupling between resting plasma volume and plasma protein and osmotic content.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

We measured with radioimmunoassay the beta-endorphin-like and alpha-MSH-like immunoreactivities in milk and plasma of 8 lactating women. Mean beta-endorphin concentrations ( +/- SD) were 16.6 +/- 6.7 fmol/ml in milk and 9.9 +/- 4.1 fmol/ml in plasma. alpha-MSH concentrations (mean +/- SD) were 39.4 +/- 15.5 pg/ml in milk and 18.2 +/- 8.4 pg/ml in plasma. The concentrations of both peptides in milk were significantly (p less than 0.05) higher than in plasma. No significant correlation between milk and plasma concentrations of these peptides was found. 相似文献

We introduced the radioimmunoassay (RIA) of arginine vasopressin (AVP) with standard AVP and antiserum to AVP (both Calibiochem). The sensitivity of the system was increased from the declared 4pg to 1 pg per tube by preparing AVP-125I of high specific activity (about 1,500 mCi/mg) and by modifying the reaction conditions. The sensitivity of the method was adequate for measuring AVP in urine and in concentrated plasma extracts, even under physiological conditions. Reliability of the results depended upon maintenance of approximately the same osmolarity in all the RIA samples. The mean plasma AVP level, uncorrected for AVP extraction losses, was 1.52 +/- 0.20 pg/ml for an ad libitum fluid intake; in fluid deprivation it rose in proportion to the osmolarity of the plasma to 5.83 +/- 0.42 pg/ml at 12 hours and to 19.09 +/- 4.51 pg/ml at 36 hours. Extraction recovery of added AVP was about 63%. The urinary AVP concentration varied according to the patients' state of hydratation from undetectable values at UOsm less than 200 mOsm/1 to a mean 16.5 +/- 7.9 pg/ml in the presence of an ad libitum fluid intake and to 29.1 +/- 7.5 pg/ml after 12 hours' and 117.2 +/- 13.7 pg/ml after 36 hours' deprivation of fluids. 相似文献
