Responses of plasma ACTH and cortisol to corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) were evaluated in 31 normal human males. 1.0 micrograms/ks of sterilized synthetic ovine CRF was administered to the subjects, aged 19 to 53 yr and weighing 50 to 78 kg, at between 9:30 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. as an intravenous bolus injection after an overnight fast. Blood specimens were drawn before and 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after injection for later determination of plasma ACTH and cortisol concentrations by radioimmunoassays. Plasma ACTH and cortisol levels for all subjects rose significantly (p less than 0.001) from the basal level (mean +/- SEM, 26.8 +/- 4.5 pg/ml and 12.6 +/- 0.9 micrograms/dl) to peak levels (58.4 +/- 5.5 pg/ml and 22.9 +/- 1.0 micrograms/dl) at 30 min and at 60 min, respectively. Although the plasma concentrations of ACTH and cortisol thereafter declined gradually, the levels at 120 min (43.4 +/- 5.2 pg/ml and 18.9 +/- 0.9 micrograms/ml, respectively) were still significantly higher than the basal levels (p less than 0.001). Significant inverse correlations were observed between the basal levels of each hormone and the ratio of the peak level to the basal level (p less than 0.01), and the increases in plasma ACTH and cortisol concentrations were either not significant or much smaller for the individuals in whom the basal levels were higher than 65 pg/ml and 17.0 micrograms/dl, respectively. No serious subjective symptom was observed during the experimental period in any of the subjects.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Corticotrophic secretion of ACTH is stimulated by corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH) and arginine vasopressin (AVP), and suppressed by glucocorticoids. In vitro and preclinical studies suggest that atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) may be a peptidergic inhibitor of pituitary-adrenocortical activity. The aim of this study was to elucidate a possible role of ANF as a modulator of ACTH release in humans. A bolus injection of 100 micrograms human CRH (hCRH) during a 30 min intravenous infusion of 5 micrograms/min human alpha atrial natriuretic factor (h alpha ANF) was administered at 19:00 to six healthy male volunteers. In comparison to saline, a blunted CRH-stimulated secretion of ACTH (mean maximum plasma level +/- SD 45 min after hCRH: saline 46.2 +/- 14.2 pg/ml, h alpha ANF 34.6 +/- 13.8 pg/ml, p-value = 0.007) and a delayed rise (10 min) in cortisol were detected. The maximum plasma cortisol levels remained nearly unchanged between saline and h alpha ANF administration (mean maximum plasma level +/- SD 60 min after hCRH: saline 182 +/- 26 ng/ml, h alpha ANF 166 +/- 54 ng/ml). No effects of h alpha ANF on basal cortisol levels were observed; in contrast, basal ACTH plasma levels were slightly reduced. Basal blood pressure and heart rate remained unaffected. In the control experiment, infusion of 3 IU AVP in the same experimental paradigm increased basal and stimulated ACTH and cortisol levels significantly in comparison to saline. These observations suggest that intravenously administered haANF inhibits the CRH-stimulated release of ACTH in man. 相似文献

Estimation of plasma glucose in home blood samples is needed to improve diabetic control. Sufficiently precise measurements on capillary blood were obtained by (a) storing Reflotest glucose-oxidase strips in a desiccant container before reading and (b) collecting blood samples into a simple vacuum bottle containing potassium fluoride (assay of sodium content indicating volume of plasma collected). The precision of the methods (+/- 1 SD) was +/-0.35 mmol/1 (+/-6.3 mg/100 ml). Clinical reliability was assessed by measuring the basal plasma glucose concentration at home on different mornings in patients with maturity-onset diabetes, the day-to-day variation (+/- 1 SD) being +/-0.73 and +/-0.92 mmol/1 (+/-13.2 and +/-16.6 mg/100 ml) respectively. The mean basal plasma glucose concentration in all 84 patients with maturity-onset diabetes from three general practices was 8 mmol/1 (144 mg/100 ml), 44 of the values exceeding 6 mmol/1 (108 mg/100 ml). Improving control by monitoring the basal plasma glucose concentration in maturity-onset diabetes might help to prevent diabetic complications. 相似文献

The responses of plasma immunoreactive (IR) proopiomelanocortin (POMC)-derived N-terminal peptide (Nt), IR-beta-endorphin (Ep), IR-beta-lipotropin (LPH) and IR-ACTH levels to ovine corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRF) and FK 33-824 (Met-Enkephalin analogue) were studied in nine patients with Addison's disease. The basal plasma levels (mean +/- SE) of IR-Nt, IR-Ep, IR-LPH and IR-ACTH were significantly higher in patients with Addison's disease (4459 +/- 975 pg/ml, 132 +/- 25 pg/ml, 4425 +/- 1030 pg/ml, 553 +/- 89 pg/ml, respectively) than in the normal controls (202 +/- 38 pg/ml, 7 +/- 2 pg/ml, 101 +/- 18 pfi/ml, 53 +/- 16 pg/ml, respectively). Ovine CRF produced rapid and concomitant increases in plasma levels of IR-Nt, IR-Ep, IR-LPH and IR-ACTH. Ep and ACTH levels reached a peak at 30 min. On the other hand, Nt and LPH levels reached a peak at 60 min and these levels gradually decreased up to 120 min. The molar concentrations of these IR-peptides in plasma were changed in close parallel fashion to one another. FK 33-824 produced a pronounced and concomitant fall in IR-Nt, IR-EP, IR-LPH, and IR-ACTH levels. These results support the theory that Nt, Ep, LPH and ACTH are produced simultaneously from POMC as a common precursor in the pituitary gland and are secreted concomitantly under various conditions such as stimulation by CRF and inhibition by FK 33-824 in patients with Addison's disease. 相似文献

Changes in plasma glucagon, pancreatic polypeptide and insulin during development of alloxan diabetes mellitus in dog 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Changes in canine plasma glucose, immunoreactive glucagon (IRG), pancreatic polypeptide (PP) and insulin (IRI) were studied during the acute development of diabetes mellitus after iv alloxan injection. 100 mg or 75 mg/kg body weight of alloxan was injected iv and blood was taken successively till one or two days later. Plasma glucose showed four phases: first immediate and moderate decrease appeared 30 min after injection, second initial hyperglycemic phase, third hypoglycemic and fourth diabetic ones. Plasma IRI had already increased to 182 +/- 60 microU/ml 10 min after injection and again began to increase after about 6 h, peaking to 134 +/- 49 microU/ml at 18 h. Plasma IRG began increasing gradually soon after alloxan injection. The initial value was 196 +/- 26 pg/ml and it increased to 534 +/- 144 pg/ml at 4 h during the initial hyperglycemic phase, then reached a higher level through the hypoglycemic and diabetic phases. The change in plasma PP was similar to that in IRG. The initial value was 256 +/- 95 pg/ml at 12 h after injection, peaking to 840 +/- 100 pg/ml in the hypoglycemic phase. Similar blunted values were obtained following 75 mg/kg alloxan injection. Thus not only plasma IRI but also plasma IRG and PP varied greatly during the acute development of alloxan diabetes and some contribution of IRG to the initial hyperglycemic phase was suggested. 相似文献

Oxytocin has been suggested to have glucoregulatory functions in rats, man and other mammals. The hyperglycemic actions of oxytocin are believed to be mediated indirectly through changes in pancreatic function. The present study examined the interaction between glucose and oxytocin in normal and streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats, under basal conditions and after injections of oxytocin. Plasma glucose and endogenous oxytocin levels were significantly correlated in cannulated lactating rats (r = 0.44, P less than 0.01). To test the hypothesis that oxytocin was acting to elevate plasma glucose, adult male rats were injected with 10 micrograms/kg oxytocin and killed 60 min later. Oxytocin increased plasma glucose from 6.1 +/- 0.1 to 6.8 +/- 0.2 mM (P less than 0.05), and glucagon from 179 +/- 12 to 259 +/- 32 pg/ml (P less than 0.01, n = 18). There was no significant effect of oxytocin on plasma insulin, although the levels were increased by 30%. A lower dose (1 microgram/kg) of oxytocin had no significant effect on plasma glucose or glucagon. To eliminate putative local inhibitory effects of insulin on glucagon secretion, male rats were made diabetic by i.p. injection of 100 mg/kg STZ, which increased glucose to greater than 18 mM and glucagon to 249 +/- 25 pg/ml (P less than 0.05). In these rats, 10 micrograms/kg oxytocin failed to further increase plasma glucose, but caused a much greater increase in glucagon (to 828 +/- 248 pg/ml) and also increased plasma ACTH. A specific oxytocin analog, Thr4,Gly7-oxytocin, mimicked the effect of oxytocin on glucagon secretion in diabetic rats. The lower dose of oxytocin also increased glucagon levels (to 1300 +/- 250 pg/ml), but the effect was not significant. A 3 h i.v. infusion of 1 nmol/kg per h oxytocin in conscious male rats significantly increased glucagon levels by 30 min in normal and STZ-rats; levels returned to baseline by 30 min after stopping the infusion. Plasma glucose increased in the normal, but not STZ-rats. The relative magnitude of the increase in glucagon was identical for normal and diabetic rats, but the absolute levels of glucagon during the infusion were twice as high in the diabetics. To test whether hypoglycemia could elevate plasma levels of oxytocin, male rats were injected i.p. with insulin and killed from 15-180 min later. Plasma glucose levels dropped to less than 2.5 mM by 15 min. Oxytocin levels increased by 150-200% at 30 min; however, the effect was not statistically significant.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS) 相似文献

Stimulation of the pituitary adrenocortical system in man by cerulein, a cholecystokinin-8-like peptide 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The responses of plasma adrenocorticotropin hormone (ACTH) and cortisol to intravenous injection of cerulein (ceruletide), a decapeptide closely related to cholecystokinin octapeptide, were investigated in healthy men. In response to 16 ng/kg cerulein, plasma ACTH rose from a preinjection level of 42 +/- 11 pg/ml (mean +/- SEM) to a peak level of 81 +/- 16 pg/ml after 15 min. This ACTH increase was followed by a rise in plasma cortisol from a preinjection value of 10.3 +/- 0.9 microgram/dl to a peak value of 17.7 +/- 1.7 microgram/dl after 30 min. This is the first report of the potent stimulating effect of a cholecystokinin-8-related peptide on the pituitary-adrenal system in man. 相似文献

Catecholamine release is known to be regulated by feedforward and feedback mechanisms. Norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (Epi) concentrations rise in response to stresses, such as exercise, that challenge blood glucose homeostasis. The purpose of this study was to assess the hypothesis that the lactate anion is involved in feedback control of catecholamine concentration. Six healthy active men (26 +/- 2 yr, 82 +/- 2 kg, 50.7 +/- 2.1 ml.kg(-1).min(-1)) were studied on five occasions after an overnight fast. Plasma concentrations of NE and Epi were determined during 90 min of rest and 90 min of exercise at 55% of peak O2 consumption (VO2 peak) two times with exogenous lactate infusion (lactate clamp, LC) and two times without LC (CON). The blood lactate profile ( approximately 4 mM) of a preliminary trial at 65% VO2 peak (65%) was matched during the subsequent LC trials. In resting men, plasma NE concentration was not different between trials, but during exercise all conditions were different with 65% > CON > LC (65%: 2,115 +/- 166 pg/ml, CON: 1,573 +/- 153 pg/ml, LC: 930 +/- 174 pg/ml, P < 0.05). Plasma Epi concentrations at rest were different between conditions, with LC less than 65% and CON (65%: 68 +/- 9 pg/ml, CON: 59 +/- 7 pg/ml, LC: 38 +/- 10 pg/ml, P < 0.05). During exercise, Epi concentration showed the same trend (65%: 262 +/- 37 pg/ml, CON: 190 +/- 34 pg/ml, LC: 113.2 +/- 23 pg/ml, P < 0.05). In conclusion, lactate attenuates the catecholamine response during moderate-intensity exercise, likely by feedback inhibition. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine the role of direct hepatic adrenergic stimulation in the control of endogenous glucose production (R(a)) during moderate exercise in poorly controlled alloxan-diabetic dogs. Chronically catheterized and instrumented (flow probes on hepatic artery and portal vein) dogs were made diabetic by administration of alloxan. Each study consisted of a 120-min equilibration, 30-min basal, 150-min moderate exercise, 30-min recovery, and 30-min blockade test period. Either vehicle (control; n = 6) or alpha (phentolamine)- and beta (propranolol)-adrenergic blockers (HAB; n = 6) were infused in the portal vein. In both groups, epinephrine (Epi) and norepinephrine (NE) were infused in the portal vein during the blockade test period to create suprapharmacological levels at the liver. Isotopic ([3-(3)H]glucose, [U-(14)C]alanine) and arteriovenous difference methods were used to assess hepatic function. Arterial plasma glucose was similar in controls (345 +/- 24 mg/dl) and HAB (336 +/- 23 mg/dl) and was unchanged by exercise. Basal arterial insulin was 5 +/- 1 mU/ml in controls and 4 +/- 1 mU/ml in HAB and fell by approximately 50% during exercise in both groups. Basal arterial glucagon was similar in controls (56 +/- 10 pg/ml) and HAB (55 +/- 7 pg/ml) and rose similarly, by approximately 1.4-fold, with exercise in both groups. Despite greater arterial Epi and NE levels in HAB compared with controls during the basal and exercise periods, exercise-induced increases in catecholamines from basal were similar in both groups. Gluconeogenic conversion from alanine and lactate and the intrahepatic efficiency of this process were increased by twofold during exercise in both groups. R(a) rose similarly by 2.9 +/- 0.7 and 2.7 +/- 1.0 mg. kg(-1). min(-1) at time = 150 min during exercise in controls and HAB. During the blockade test period, arterial plasma glucose and R(a) rose to 454 +/- 43 mg/dl and 11.3 mg. kg(-1). min(-1) in controls, respectively, but were essentially unchanged in HAB. The attenuated response to the blockade test in HAB substantiates the effectiveness of the hepatic adrenergic blockade. In conclusion, these results demonstrate that direct hepatic adrenergic stimulation does not play a role in the stimulation of R(a) during exercise in poorly controlled diabetes. 相似文献

Plasma somatostatin in normal subjects and in various diseases: increased levels in somatostatin-producing tumors 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The plasma levels of somatostatin (SRIF) were studied in normal subjects and patients with various disorders by a sensitive and specific radioimmunoassay. In 45 normal subjects, the fasting plasma SRIF concentrations were 13.3 +/- 5.3 pg/ml (mean +/- SD). Very high concentrations of plasma SRIF, ranging from 125.0 pg/ml to 400.0 pg/ml, were found in all four patients with medullary carcinoma of the thyroid examined and the SRIF levels were changed in parallel with their clinical course after resection of the tumor. A case of pheochromocytoma also showed a relatively high SRIF concentration in plasma (47.0 pg/ml), but the plasma SRIF level decreased to 8.7 pg/ml after removal of the tumor. In normal subjects, plasma SRIF levels did not fluctuate during 2 hr-observation period in basal state. Glucagon (1 mg, iv) and secretin (3 CHRU/kg B.W., iv infusion over 30 min) had no effect on the SRIF levels in the peripheral blood plasma of normal subjects. On intravenous infusion of arginine (0.5 g/kg B.W.) over 30 min, all 6 normal subjects showed a significant increase in plasma SRIF 30-45 min after the start of the infusion (basal value, 11.6 +/- 1.5 pg/ml; peak value, 27.2 +/- 3.0 pg/ml; p less than 0.005). Two cases of medullary thyroid carcinoma showed exaggerated responses after the arginine administration (increases of 103 pg/ml and 157 pg/ml, respectively), suggesting that SRIF was released from the tumor. The findings indicate that plasma SRIF determination in the basal state and after arginine administration is useful for detecting and following up SRIF-producing tumors. 相似文献

We investigated whether ethchlorvynol (ECV)-induced acute lung injury (ALI) is associated with an increase in leukotriene C4 (LTC4) production. In six pentobarbital sodium-anesthetized dogs, ECV (15 mg/kg iv) introduced into the pulmonary circulation resulted in a 164 +/- 31% increase in extravascular lung water 120 min after ECV administration. Concomitantly, the mean (+/- SE) concentration of LTC4 in arterial plasma measured by radioimmunoassay following 80% EtOH precipitation, XAD-7 extraction and high-pressure liquid chromatography purification was 5.0 +/- 1.3 pg/ml, unchanged from control (pre-ECV) values. In contrast, in pulmonary edema fluid 120 min post-ECV, the LTC4 concentration was 35.2 +/- 10.8 pg/ml, sevenfold greater than those values found in the arterial plasma (P less than 0.01). In six additional dogs, 120 min after unilateral ALI had been induced with ECV (9 mg/kg iv), LTC4 in the bronchoalveolar lavage (BAL) of the uninjured lung was 12.1 +/- 1.5 pg/ml, unchanged from pre-ECV values, whereas, LTC4 in the BAL of the injured lung increased from a control value of 10.2 +/- 1.6 to 24.2 +/- 3.5 pg/ml (P less than 0.01) 120 min after ECV administration. These results demonstrate that, in ECV-induced acute lung injury, LTC4 concentrations in pulmonary edema fluid are considerably greater than those found in arterial plasma in the case of bilateral acute lung injury and significantly greater in the BAL of the injured lung compared with the uninjured lung in the case of unilateral acute lung injury. The results are a necessary first step in support of the hypothesis that leukotrienes participate in the altered permeability of ECV-induced acute lung injury. 相似文献

Portal glucose delivery in the conscious dog augments net hepatic glucose uptake (NHGU). To investigate the possible role of altered autonomic nervous activity in the effect of portal glucose delivery, the effects of adrenergic blockade and acetylcholine (ACh) on hepatic glucose metabolism were examined in 42-h-fasted conscious dogs. Each study consisted of an equilibration (-120 to -20 min), a control (-20 to 0 min), and a hyperglycemic-hyperinsulinemic period (0 to 300 min). During the last period, somatostatin (0.8 microg. kg(-1). min(-1)) was infused along with intraportal insulin (1.2 mU. kg(-1). min(-1)) and glucagon (0.5 ng. kg(-1). min(-1)). Hepatic sinusoidal insulin was four times basal (73 +/- 7 microU/ml) and glucagon was basal (55 +/- 7 pg/ml). Glucose was infused peripherally (0-300 min) to create hyperglycemia (220 mg/dl). In test protocol, phentolamine and propranolol were infused intraportally at 0.2 microg and 0.1 microg. kg(-1). min(-1) from 120 min on. ACh was infused intraportally at 3 microg. kg(-1). min(-1) from 210 min on. In control protocol, saline was given in place of the blockers and ACh. Hyperglycemia-hyperinsulinemia switched the net hepatic glucose balance (mg. kg(-1). min(-1)) from output (2.1 +/- 0.3 and 1.1 +/- 0.2) to uptake (2.8 +/- 0.9 and 2.6 +/- 0.6) and lactate balance (micromol. kg(-1). min(-1)) from uptake (7.5 +/- 2.2 and 6.7 +/- 1.6) to output (3.7 +/- 2.6 and 3.9 +/- 1.6) by 120 min in the control and test protocols, respectively. Thereafter, in the control protocol, NHGU tended to increase slightly (3.0 +/- 0.6 mg. kg(-1). min(-1) by 300 min). In the test protocol, adrenergic blockade did not alter NHGU, but ACh infusion increased it to 4.4 +/- 0.6 and 4.6 +/- 0.6 mg. kg(-1). min(-1) by 220 and 300 min, respectively. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that alterations in nerve activity contribute to the increase in NHGU seen after portal glucose delivery. 相似文献

The diurnal variation in insulin-stimulated systemic glucose and amino acid utilization was investigated in eleven pigs of approximately 40 kg. Pigs were fed isoenergetic/isoproteinic diets (366 kJ/kg BW (0.75) per meal) in two daily rations (06:00 and 18:00 h). After a 3-week habituation period, hyperinsulinemic euglycemic euaminoacidemic clamp studies (by intra-portal insulin, glucose and amino acids infusion and arterial blood sampling) were performed starting at 06:00 or 18:00 h (while skipping the meal), using a cross-over within-animal design. Basal (preclamp) plasma concentrations of insulin, glucose, lactate, individual amino acids and urea were similar in the morning compared to the evening. Insulin-stimulated ( approximately 4-fold increase over basal) systemic glucose utilization was similar (17.6+/-1.4 and 18.9+/-1.8 mg.kg (-1).min (-1)) but amino acid utilization was 19% greater in the morning VS. the evening (2.37+/-0.21 VS. 1.99+/-0.15 mg.kg (-1).min (-1), p<0.05), respectively. Insulin-stimulated plasma lactate concentrations remained constant in the morning (0.77+/-0.06 to 0.71+/-0.04 mmol.l (-1)) but declined in the evening (0.89+/-0.09 to 0.65+/-0.06 mmol.l (-1), p<0.05). By contrast, insulin-stimulated plasma urea concentrations declined in the morning (2.48+/-0.11 to 2.03+/-0.10 mmol.l (-1), p<0.005) but remained constant in the evening (2.18+/-0.14 to 2.12+/-0.12 mmol.l (-1)). In conclusion, pigs fed identical meals at 12-hour intervals follow a clear diurnal biorhythm in protein anabolism, with greater insulin-stimulated systemic amino acid utilization and lower plasma urea response in the morning compared to the evening. 相似文献

Postprandial responses of plasma cholecystokinin (CCK) in patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) were studied with a CCK specific radioimmunoassay. After the ingestion of a liquid test meal, plasma CCK levels increased from the basal level of 9.8 +/- 1.1 pg/ml to a peak of 19.4 +/- 1.8 pg/ml at 20 min in healthy subjects (n = 10). The ingestion of a test meal in patients with NIDDM (n = 10) resulted in a significantly greater increase of plasma CCK than in healthy subjects and a significant increase of plasma CCK from a basal level of 14.2 +/- 4.4 pg/ml to a peak of 47.4 +/- 12.4 pg/ml at 10 min. 相似文献

Plasma adrenocorticotropin and cortisol responses to brief high-intensity exercise in humans 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The purpose of this study is to examine plasma cortisol and adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) levels following a brief high-intensity bout of exercise. Each subject (n = 6) performed a 1-min bout of exercise on a cycle ergometer at 120% of his maximum O2 uptake. Blood samples were collected at rest, immediately following the exercise bout, and at 5, 15, and 30 min postexercise. Mean (+/- SE) plasma ACTH levels increased significantly (P less than 0.05) from 2.2 +/- 0.4 pmol/l at rest to 6.2 +/- 1.7 pmol/l immediately following exercise. Mean (+/- SE) plasma cortisol levels increased significantly from 0.40 +/- 0.04 mumol/l at rest to 0.52 +/- 0.04 mumol/l at 15 min postexercise. These data show that brief high-intensity exercise results in significant increases in plasma cortisol and ACTH levels. Furthermore, the temporal sequence between the two hormones suggests that the increase in plasma cortisol levels following brief high-intensity exercise is the result of ACTH-induced steroidogenesis in the adrenal cortex. 相似文献

Important role of glucagon during exercise in diabetic dogs 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
To define the role of immunoreactive glucagon (IRG) during exercise in diabetes, 12 insulin-deprived alloxan-diabetic (A-D) dogs were run for 90 min (100 m/min, 12 degrees) with or without somatostatin (St 0.5 microgram . kg-1 . min-1). Compared with normal dogs, A-D dogs were characterized by similar hepatic glucose production (Ra), lower glucose metabolic clearance, and higher plasma glucose and free fatty acid levels during rest and exercise. In A-D dogs IRG was greater at rest and exhibited a threefold greater exercise increment than controls, whereas immunoreactive insulin (IRI) was reduced by 68% at rest but had similar values to controls during exercise. Basal norepinephrine, epinephrine, cortisol, and lactate levels were similar in normal and A-D dogs. However, exercise increments in norepinephrine, cortisol, and lactate were higher in A-D dogs. When St was infused during exercise in the A-D dogs, IRG was suppressed by 432 +/- 146 pg/ml below basal and far below the exercise response in A-D controls (delta = 645 +/- 153 pg/ml). IRI was reduced by 1.8 +/- 0.2 microU/ml with St. With IRG suppression the increase in Ra seen in exercising A-D controls (delta = 4.8 +/- 1.6 mg . kg-1 . min-1) was virtually abolished, and glycemia fell by 104 to 133 +/- 37 mg/dl. Owing to this decrease in glycemia, the increase in glucose disappearance was attenuated. Despite the large fall in glucose during IRG suppression, counterregulatory increases were not excessive compared with A-D controls. In fact, as glucose levels approached euglycemia, the increments in norepinephrine and cortisol were reduced to levels similar to those seen in normal exercising dogs. In conclusion, IRG suppression during exercise in A-D dogs almost completely obviated the increase in Ra, resulting in a large decrease in plasma glucose. Despite this large fall in glucose, there was no excess counterregulation, since glucose concentrations never reached the hypoglycemic range. 相似文献

ACTH concentration has been estimated radioimmunologically in fetal plasma (100th day of gestation) and in plasma of newborn piglets during the first 24 hours of life and in sows. In comparison to the values of ACTH in sows at the 100th day of gestation during anaesthesia (175 pg/ml) and sows at parturition (235 +/- 77 pg/ml) the concentration in fetal (558 +/- 163 pg/ml) and newborn piglets (448 +/- 158 pg/ml) was much higher. On an average ACTH concentration increased during the first 24 hours of life up to 998 +/- 628 pg/ml. The results are compared to those in other species. 相似文献

This study was designed to compare the responsiveness of adrenocorticotropin (ACTH) and cortisol secretion to corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF) in the morning and early evening in normal human subjects. Synthetic ovine CRF (1.0 micrograms/kg) or normal saline, was administered as an i.v. bolus injection to six normal males at 900 h and 1700 h. Blood samples were obtained before and 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 min after CRF or saline injection. Significant increases in plasma ACTH and cortisol levels were observed in all subjects at the both time of testing after CRF injection. The net increments in the areas under the concentration curve (areas in the CRF experiment minus those in the saline control experiment) were not statistically different for both ACTH (mean +/- SEM: 41.0 +/- 10.6 pg/ml h in the morning: 51.1 +/- 8.9 pg/ml h in the evening) and cortisol (mean +/- SEM: 28.5 +/- 5.0 micrograms/dl h in the morning; 36.2 +/- 4.0 micrograms/dl h in the evening). Also no significant difference was observed in net increment, peak level and the ratio of peak level to the basal level of ACTH and cortisol after CRF injection. There were no appreciable changes in plasma concentrations of growth hormone, thyroid-stimulating hormone or prolactin, although slight but statistically significant rises in plasma levels of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone were observed. These results suggest that there is no significant difference in responsiveness of the pituitary-adrenal axis to CRF in the morning (900 h) and early evening (1700 h), and thus the time of day will not necessarily have to be considered when CRF is used between these times in a clinical test to evaluate pituitary ACTH reserve. 相似文献

A specific RIA for beta-endorphin (B-END) was developed to measure horse plasma levels of B-END-like material (B-END-LI) during exercises and shipping. Three exercise speeds and durations were: trot at 260-300 m/min for 10 min; slow gallop at 390-420 m/min for 5 min and fast gallop at 700-800 m/min for 2 min. Blood samples were taken from 4 horses before, immediately after, 30 and 60 min after exercise. Trotting increased plasma B-END-LI from a basal level of 109 +/- 7 pg/ml to 172 +/- 22 at the end of exercise and returned to 127 +/- 17 and 107 +/- 10 pg/ml at 30 and 60 min after exercise. Similar results were obtained in slow gallop (121 +/- 6 to 210 +/- 17 then 155 +/- 8 and 131 +/- 11 pg/ml). However, fast gallop caused the greatest increase (352%) in B-END-LI to concentrations of 544 +/- 93 pg/ml and 276 +/- 74 pg/ml at 5 and 30 min after exercise. Plasma B-END-LI returned to 199 +/- 46 pg/ml in 1 hr. Sequential exercises of trot, slow and fast gallop were conducted in 6 horses. Plasma B-END-LI were 116 +/- 19 pg/ml (pre-exercise), 198 +/- 21 (trot), 361 +/- 51 (slow gallop), 500 +/- 57 (fast gallop) and 248 +/- 29, 171 +/- 24, 143 +/- 20 and 139 +/- 21 pg/ml at 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 hr, respectively, following exercises. Transportation in horse trailer also significantly increased plasma levels of B-END-LI from a basal level of 138 +/- 12 to 196 +/- 24 pg/ml within 30 min and this levels were maintained at 45 min (177 +/- 3 pg/ml). Plasma levels of B-END-LI began to decline at 60 min of shipping. These results showed that plasma B-END-LI was increased in all speeds of exercise and by shipping and returned to pre-exercise and pre-shipping level in 30 min except fast gallop which returned to pre-exercise level in 1 hr. 相似文献

In a significant proportion of patients with acromegaly, a non-specific increase in plasma growth hormone (GH) has been recognized following administration of thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) or luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LH-RH), probably due to the lack of the specificity of the receptor in their tumor cells. In this study, the effects of corticotropin-releasing factor (CRF), a newly isolated hypothalamic hormone, in addition to TRH and LH-RH, on plasma levels of GH and the other anterior pituitary hormones were evaluated in 6 patients with acromegaly. Synthetic ovine CRF (1.0 microgram/kg), TRH (500 micrograms) or LH-RH (100 micrograms) was given as an iv bolus injection, in the morning after an overnight fast. Blood specimens were taken before and after injection at intervals up to 120 min, and plasma GH, adrenocorticotropin (ACTH), thyrotropin, prolactin, luteinizing hormone, follicle-stimulating hormone and cortisol were assayed by radioimmunoassays. A non-specific rise in plasma GH was demonstrated following injection of TRH and LH-RH, in 5 of 6 and 2 of 5 patients, respectively. In all subjects, rapid rises were observed in both plasma ACTH (34.3 +/- 6.2 pg/ml at 0 min to 79.5 +/- 9.5 pg/ml at 30 min, mean +/- SEM) and cortisol level (9.1 +/- 1.3 micrograms/dl at 0 min to 23.4 +/- 1.2 micrograms/dl at 90 min). However, plasma levels of GH and the other anterior pituitary hormones did not change significantly after CRF injection. These results indicate that CRF specifically stimulates ACTH secretion and any non-specific response of GH to CRF appears to be an infrequent phenomenon in this disorder. 相似文献
