Apoptosis and proliferation are the common and essential events of reproductive function and development in the ovary, especially during follicular growth and atresia or luteal regression. Therefore, this study was set to investigate the influence of ghrelin treatment on apoptosis and proliferation specific indices in the rat ovary. Twenty-eight adult female Wistar rats were randomly allocated into control and treatment groups. Treatment group (n = 14) received 3 nmol of ghrelin as subcutaneous injection for 14 consecutive days or vehicle (normal saline) to the control rats. The animals from each group were equally sacrificed on days 9 and 14 after onset of ghrelin treatment and their ovaries were taken for immunohistochemical evaluation and caspase-3 assay. Accumulation of apoptosis-associated peptide Bax was significantly reduced following ghrelin treatment particularly in granulosa and luteal cells on day 14 (P < 0.01). In contrast, immunoreactivity against anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 was significantly elevated in ghrelin-exposed animals in granulosa, theca and luteal cells (P < 0.05). However, ghrelin administration was not able to change caspase-3 activity prominently, so that the means of enzyme activity were not statistically significant between groups (P > 0.05). Moreover, significant up-regulation of proliferation-associated peptide PCNA was also seen in the granulosa, theca and luteal cells of ghrelin-treated rats by day 14 (P < 0.05), but not on day 9. These findings indicate the first evidence of ghrelin involvement in the control of key gonadal functions, apoptosis and proliferation in the rat ovary, which is mainly mediated through decrease in Bax/Bcl-2 ratio consistent with upstream of PCNA level, however not depends on the reduction of caspase-3 activation. This may have potential implications that ghrelin can be considered as an apoptotic modulator of some ovarian disorders. 相似文献

We studied the effect of gravity on cerebral cortical blood flow (CBF), mean arterial blood pressure () and heart rate in six rabbits exposed to parabolic flights. The CBF was obtained using a laser-Doppler probe fixed on to
a cranial window. Before weightlessness, the animals were exposed to chest-to-back directed acceleration (1.8–2.0 g). The CBF values were expressed as a percentage of CBFo (mean CBF during 60 s before the 1st parabola). Propranolol (1 mg · kg−1 IV) was given after the 11th parabola and pentobarbital (12–15 mg · kg−1 IV) after the 16th parabola. Before the administration of the drugs, CBF increased (P < 0.01) during hypergravity [i.e. maximal CBF 151 (SD 64)% CBFo. Simultaneously increased [maximal , 119 (SD 11) mmHg (P < 0.01)]. At the onset of weightlessness, CBF and reached maximal values [194 (SD 96)% CBFo (P < 0.01) and 127 (SD 19) mmHg, (P < 0.01) respectively]. The microgravity-induced increase in CBF was transient since CBF returned to its baseline value after
8 (SD 2) s of microgravity. After propranolol administration, CBF was not statistically different during hypergravity but
an elevation of CBF was still observed in weightlessness. The increases in CBF and also persisted during weightlessness after pentobarbital administration. These data would indicate that CBF of nonanesthetized
rabbits increases during the first seconds of weightlessness and demonstrate the involvement of rapid active regulatory mechanisms
since CBF returned to control values within 8 (SD 2) s. We concluded that this elevation in blood flow was not related to
stress because it persisted after the administration of propranolol and pentobarbital.

The effect of oral administration of different doses of hydroalcoholic extract of silymarin on body weight, glucose concentration and indicators of oxidative stress superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GPX), catalase (CAT) and malondialdehyde (MDA) was investigated in the present study. Fifty adult male Wistar rats were used. The animals were divided into five groups and oral route of administration was used in control group (0.9 %, NaCl), control group patients (0.9 %, NaCl), diabetic group (100 mg/kg, silymarin), diabetic group (125 mg/kg, silymarin), diabetic group (250 mg/kg, silymarin) for 14 days with gavage. Diabetes was induced by a single injection of streptozotocin (45 mg/kg, i.p.). Before and 3 days after injection, and at 7 and 14 days of treatment, the fasting glucose level and weight were measured. At the end of 14 days, animals were anesthetized with ether and blood samples were taken by heart puncture and were analyzed for oxidative stress indicators. The results showed that hydroalcoholic extract of silymarin can increase the average body weight and decrease glucose and, at the end of 14 days, decrease MDA level and increase the level of antioxidant enzymes (SOD, GPX, CAT) in red blood cells in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05). In conclusion, the hydroalcoholic extract of silymarin has an overall beneficial effect on body weight, glucose level and oxidative stress. Therefore, silymarin may reduce oxidative stress via increasing antioxidant enzyme activity. 相似文献

The objective of the study is to explore change and significance of IL-8, IL-4 and IL-10 in the pathogenesis of terminal Ileitis in SD rat. 60 male SD rats were divided into model group, suture group, and control group equally. The rats subjected to ileum-cecum side-to-side anastomosis in terminal ileum in model group, suture in terminal ileum in suture group, and the control group accepted no special treatment. The terminal ileum tissue which was 1–3 cm from anastomotic stoma was collected at 2 and 8 weeks after surgery in each group. The pathological slice was observed under microscope, and PCR was applied to detect the expression of IL-4, IL-8, and IL-10 at different times. Pathological result showed that neutrophils significantly increased in model group and suture group at 2nd week, showing acute inflammatory reaction; model group showed chronic inflammation at 8th week. The change of IL-8, IL-4, and IL-10 expression level at 2 weeks after surgery: The IL-8 expression level of SD rat terminal ileum tissue in model group was significantly higher than in control and suture groups (P < 0.01), and it was higher in suture group compared to control group (P < 0.01); the expression level of IL-4 in control group was higher than model and suture groups (P < 0.05); there was no statistical significance between model group and suture group (P = 0.363); the expression level of IL-10 in control group was higher than in model and suture groups (P < 0.01), and it was higher in suture group compared to model group (P < 0.01). The change of IL-8, IL-4, IL-10 expression level at 8 weeks after surgery: The expression level of IL-8 significantly decreased in model group, and there was no significantly difference between three groups (P > 0.05); the expression level of IL-4 was higher in model group and suture group compared to 2nd week; there was no significance between three groups (P < 0.05); the expression of IL-10 was higher in model group compared to 2nd week (P < 0.01), it was lower than control group and suture group (P < 0.01); there was no significant difference between suture group and control group (P > 0.05). The chronic terminal ileum model could be successfully established by ileum-cecum side-to-side anastomosis in terminal ileum in SD rats; IL-8 can induce the inflammatory reaction in terminal ileitis and chemokines aggregation and mediate inflammatory reaction by mediating other inflammatory factors; as a proinflammatory cytokine, IL-8 can inhibit IL-10; IL-10 and IL-4 can inhibit the inflammatory reaction of terminal ileum. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of local administration of hirudin in improving random pattern skin flap microcirculation in a porcine model. Five Chinese minipigs were used and six dorsal random pattern skin flaps were elevated in each animal (4 × 14 cm). All flaps (n = 30) were assigned to experimental (n = 10), control (n = 10), and sham (n = 10) groups. Flap edema measurement showed that edema in experimental flaps was more severe (P < 0.05) than either control or sham flaps. Local blood flow detection showed an increased image signal of blood flow in experimental flaps instead of an obvious avascular area in control and sham flaps. The survival area was significantly greater in experimental group (67.6 ± 2.1 %) as compared to control (45.2 ± 1.4 %) or sham (48.3 ± 1.1 %) group (P < 0.05). Our data showed that local administration of hirudin can significantly improve random pattern skin flap microcirculation in over dimensioned random pattern skin flaps in a porcine model. 相似文献

We aimed to investigate the potential hazardous effects of prenatal and/or postnatal exposure to 1800 MHz GSM-like radiofrequency radiation (RFR) on the blood chemistry and lipid peroxidation levels of infant rabbits. A total of 72 New Zealand female and male white rabbits aged 1-month were used. Thirty-six female and 36 male were divided into four groups which were composed of nine infants: (i) Group 1 were the sham exposure (control), (ii) Group 2 were exposed to RFR, 15 min daily for 7 days in the prenatal period (between 15th and 22nd days of the gestational period) (prenatal exposure group). (iii) Group 3 were exposed to RFR 15 min/day (14 days for male, whereas 7 days for female) after they reached 1-month of age (postnatal exposure group). (iv) Group 4 were exposed to RFR for 15 min daily during 7 days in the prenatal period (between 15th and 22nd days of the gestational period) and 15 min/day (14 days for male, whereas 7 days for female) after they reached 1-month of age (prenatal and postnatal exposure group). Results showed that serum lipid peroxidation level in both female and male rabbits changed due to the RFR exposure. However, different parameters of the blood biochemistry were affected by exposure in male and female infants. Consequently, the whole-body 1800 MHz GSM-like RFR exposure may lead to oxidative stress and changes on some blood chemistry parameters. Studies on RFR exposure during prenatal and postnatal periods will help to establish international standards for the protection of pregnants and newborns from environmental RFR. 相似文献

We investigated whether the administration of IL-2 combined with endostatin gene therapy was able to produce additive or even
synergistic immunomodulatory activity in a mouse model of metastatic renal carcinoma. Renca cells were injected into the tail
vein of BALB/c mice. After 24 h, the animals were randomly divided into four groups (5 mice/group). One group of mice was
the control, the second group received treatment with 100,000 UI of Recombinant IL-2 (Proleukin, Chiron) twice a day, 1 day
per week during 2 weeks (IL-2), the third group received treatment with a subcutaneous inoculation of 3.6 × 106 endostatin-producing cells, and the fourth group received both therapies (IL-2 + ES). Mice were treated for 2 weeks. In the
survival studies, 10 mice/group daily, mice were monitored daily until they died. The presence of metastases led to a twofold
increase in endostatin levels. Subcutaneous inoculation of NIH/3T3-LendSN cells resulted in a 2.75 and 2.78-fold increase
in endostatin levels in the ES and IL-2 + ES group, respectively. At the end of the study, there was a significant decrease
in lung wet weight, lung nodules area, and microvascular area (MVA) in all treated groups compared with the control group
(P < 0.001). The significant difference in lung wet weight and lung nodules area between groups IL-2 and IL-2 + ES revealed
a synergistic antitumor effect of the combined treatment (P < 0.05). The IL-2 + ES therapy Kaplan–Meier survival curves showed that the probability of survival was significantly higher
for mice treated with the combined therapy (log-rank test, P = 0.0028). Conjugated therapy caused an increase in the infiltration of CD4, CD8 and CD49b lymphocytes. An increase in the
amount of CD8 cells (P < 0.01) was observed when animals received both ES and IL-2, suggesting an additive effect of ES over IL-2 treatment. A synergistic
effect of ES on the infiltration of CD4 (P < 0.001) and CD49b cells (P < 0.01) was also observed over the effect of IL-2. Here, we show that ES led to an increase in CD4 T helper cells as well
as cytotoxic lymphocytes, such as NK cells and CD8 cells, within tumors of IL-2 treated mice. This means that ES plays a role
in supporting the actions of T cells. 相似文献

Alteration in hematology and cell-mediated immunity around peripartum periods before and after micronutrient supplementation was studied in this investigation. Twelve (12) high-yielding cross-bred cows in advanced pregnancy were selected for the experiment and divided into two equal groups viz. supplemented (n = 6) and unsupplemented (n = 6). Supplemented animals were provided with a micronutrient mixture (@ 25 g per cow) as per the recommendation of NRC over the normal feeding. Unsupplemented group of cows were kept as control with standard farm feeding management. Blood samples (15 ml/cow) were collected from all the animals during days 30th, 15th, and 7th before calving, on the day of calving, and during days 7th, 15th, and 30th after calving and analyzed for hematology viz. hemoglobin (Hb), total erythrocyte counts (TEC), total leukocyte counts, and differential leukocyte counts. In vitro phagocytic index (PI) of neutrophils and lymphocyte proliferation response (LPR) were also evaluated. Copper (Cu), zinc (Zn), manganese, and selenium (Se) concentrations in serum were estimated by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. The Hb concentration was found to be significantly (p < 0.01) higher in supplemented group compared to the unsupplemented group of cows. There were no significant differences in Hb concentration during different days of peripartum in both the group of cows. There was a significantly (p < 0.001) higher TEC in supplemented group compared to unsupplemented group of cows, though it did not vary significantly between different days of peripartum in both the group of cows. There was a significantly (p < 0.001) higher PI in supplemented group compared to the unsupplemented group of cows. In both the groups, the PI of blood neutrophils was significantly (p < 0.001) lower during calving. The LPR did not differ significantly between the groups, but it differed significantly (p < 0.01) between different days of peripartum and was lowest on the day of calving in both the groups. The Cu, Zn, and SE concentration was found to be significantly (p < 0.01) higher in supplemented group compared to the unsupplemented group of cows, but remained unaltered throughout the peripartum period. The study indicated that there was a marked immune depression around peripartum (15 days precalving to 15 days postcalving) in terms of in vitro phagocytic activity of blood neutrophils and in vitro LPR. Supplementation of micronutrients improves the hematological status as well as immune status, so it was recommended to supplement these micronutrients for better productivity and disease resistance in high-yielding cross-bred cows around peripartum. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to determine the association between vitamin D and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and difference in the level of vitamin D in ADHD children and control. This a case–control study carried out in school health and primary health care clinics. A total of 1,331 children and adolescents who were diagnosed with ADHD based on clinical criteria and standardized questionnaires were enrolled in this study and were matched with 1,331 controls, aged 5–18 years old. Data on body mass index (BMI), clinical biochemistry variables including serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D were collected. The study found significant association between ADHD and vitamin D deficiency after adjusting for BMI and sex (adj. OR 1.54; 95 % CI 1.32–1.81; P < 0.001). Majority of the ADHD children were in the age group 5–10 years (40.7 %), followed by 11–13 years (38.4 %). The proportion of BMI <85th percentile was significantly over represented in ADHD group as compared to healthy control (87.8 vs. 83 %; P < 0.001, respectively), while on the other hand, BMI >95th percentile was over represented in the control than ADHD group (7.6 vs. 4.6 %; P < 0.001, respectively). Mean values of vitamin D (ng/mL) were significantly lower in ADHD children (16.6 ± 7.8) than in healthy children (23.5 ± 9.0) (P < 0.001). There was significant correlation between vitamin D deficiency and age (r = ?0.191, P = 0.001); calcium (r = 0.272, P = 0.001); phosphorous (r = 0.284, P = 0.001); magnesium (r = 0.292, P = 0.001); and BMI (r = 0.498, P = 0.001) in ADHD children. The vitamin D deficiency was higher in ADHD children compared to healthy children. 相似文献

This experiment was conducted to investigate the effects of oral administration of monosodium glutamate (MSG) on expression of genes for hepatic lipid and nitrogen metabolism in piglets. A total of 24 newborn pigs were assigned randomly into one of four treatments (n = 6/group). The doses of oral MSG administration, given at 8:00 and 18:00 to sow-reared piglets between 0 and 21 days of age, were 0 (control), 0.06 (low dose), 0.5 (intermediate dose), and 1 (high dose) g/kg body weight/day. At the end of the 3-week treatment, serum concentrations of total protein and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol in the intermediate dose group were elevated than those in the control group (P < 0.05). Hepatic mRNA levels for fatty acid synthase, acetyl-coA carboxylase, insulin-like growth factor-1, glutamate–oxaloacetate transaminase, and glutamate–pyruvate transaminase were higher in the middle-dose group (P < 0.05), compared with the control group. MSG administration did not affect hepatic mRNA levels for hormone-sensitive lipase or carnitine palmitoyl transferase-1. We conclude that oral MSG administration alters hepatic expression of certain genes for lipid and nitrogen metabolism in suckling piglets. 相似文献

Steroid administration, which is commonly performed for the treatment of autoimmune inflammatory diseases, cancers or organ transplantation, has been a leading cause of nontraumatic osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH). Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of the adenosine triphosphate-binding cassette B1 (ABCB1) gene have been demonstrated to be related to steroid-induced ONFH in small sample sizes of Japanese kidney failure and Chinese systemic lupus erythematosus patients. However, there are obvious controversial results in the relationship of ABCB1 gene polymorphisms with steroid-induced ONFH. The aim of this study was to validate the genetic association of ABCB1 polymorphisms with the risk for steroid-induced ONFH in a large cohort of Chinese population. A case–control study was conducted, which included 94 and 106 unrelated patients after steroid administration recruited from 14 provinces in China, respectively. Two SNPs (rs1045642 and rs2032582) within ABCB1 were genotyped using Sequenom MassARRAY system. Multivariate analyses based on clinical information were performed to determine the associations between the SNPs and risk of steroid-induced ONFH. rs1045642 SNP was significantly associated with steroid-induced ONFH group in codominant (P = 0.02), recessive (P = 0.006) and overdominant (P = 0.03) models. However, there were no differences found in genotype frequencies of rs2032582 SNP between controls and patients with steroid-induced ONFH (all P > 0.05). These findings suggested that rs1045642 SNP of ABCB1 may be associated with the risk of steroid-induced ONFH. Thus, it is useful to analyze this polymorphism for identifying high-risk individuals before the administration of steroids. 相似文献

The objective of the study was to evaluate the systematically rat model of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage. The right carotid arteries of 7-day-old healthy Wistar rats were ligated, and then, the rats were subjected to an environment with 8 % of oxygen. Four weeks after the birth, neurobehavioral test, water maze test, and motor-evoked potential and neuropathologic examinations were performed. The footprint analysis showed significantly larger and instable paces in the hypoxic-ischemic group (P < 0.05); the time that rats crossed the balance beam in the hypoxic-ischemic group was longer than the control group (P < 0.05). The water maze test showed that the escape latency of hypoxic-ischemic group was significantly longer than that of control group (P < 0.05). The hindlimb quadriceps compound muscle-evoked potential CMEP of rats in hypoxic-ischemic group showed that the wave amplitude was lower than that of control group (P < 0.05). HE staining showed visible periventricular leukomalacia in hypoxic-ischemic groups; disrupted nuclear membrane was detected in the IH group with transelectronmicroscopy; Immunohistochemistry: compared with control group, MBP-positive neurocytes decreased, glial fibrillary acidic protein positive neurocytes increased in the periventricular zone (P < 0.05). Carotid artery ligation combining the hypoxic chamber created a reliable and stable rat model of neonatal hypoxic-ischemic brain damage and can be used for experimental research related to management of cerebral palsy. 相似文献

To investigate how long relocation modified hair cortisol concentrations in New Zealand white rabbits, 19 rabbits were subjected to a change in their breeding facility at the beginning of the trial and then were kept under stable environmental conditions. Hair samples were collected at the time of arrival to the nonhuman animal facility and at 40-day intervals from the same skin area for up to 440 days after the animals' arrival to the facility. A period effect on the hair cortisol concentration was found (p < .01). The transfer of the rabbits to the new facility might have induced an increase in the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis activity (p < .01). A second increase in hair cortisol concentration (p < .01) occurred at 320 days, after a change of personnel at the facility that occurred at 280 days, which was the only environmental change. The relocation of rabbits to the facility resulted in a stress response leading to elevated cortisol levels. The effect of relocation on mean cortisol concentrations was exhausted within 120 days when all environmental factors were kept stable. 相似文献

We investigated both the effect of levosimendan and the role of oxidant/antioxidant status and trace element levels in the pulmonary artery of rats. Fourteen male Wistar albino rats were randomly divided into two groups of seven animals each. Group 1 was not exposed to levosimendan and served as a control. Levosimendan (12 μg/kg) diluted in 10 ml 0.9 % NaCl was administered intraperitoneally to group 2. Animals of both groups were killed after 3 days, and their pulmonary arteries were harvested to determine changes in tissue oxidant/antioxidant status and trace element levels. The animals in both groups were killed 72 h after the levosimendan exposure treatment, and pulmonary arteries were harvested to determine levels of the lipid peroxidation product MDA and the antioxidant GSH as well as the decreased activity of antioxidant enzymes such as SOD, GSH-Px and CAT. It was found that MDA levels increased in pulmonary artery tissues of rats after levosimendan administration. The GSH level decreased in the pulmonary artery of rats after levosimendan treatment. Co, Mn, Fe, Cd and Pb levels were significantly higher (P < 0.001) and Mg, Zn and Cu levels significantly lower (P < 0.001) in the levosimendan group compared to the control group. These results suggest that levosimendan treatment caused an increase in free radical production and a decrease in antioxidant enzyme activity in the pulmonary artery of levosimendan-treated rats. It also caused a decrease or increase in the levels of many minerals in the pulmonary artery, which is an undesirable condition for normal pharmacological function. 相似文献

Biodegradable nanospheres or microspheres have been widely used as a sustained release system for the delivery of bioagents. In the present study, injectable sustained-release growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) (1–32) microspheres were prepared by a double emulsion-in liquid evaporation process using biodegradable polylactic-co-glycolic acid (PLGA) as the carrier. The entrapment efficiency was 89.79% and the mean particle size was 4.41 μm. The microspheres were injected into mouse tibialis muscle. After 30 days, mice injected with GRF (1–32) microspheres (group I) gained significantly more weight than any other treatment group, including mice injected with the naked plasmid (group II) (10.26 ± 0.13 vs. 9.09 ± 0.56; P < 0.05), a mixture of microspheres and plasmid (group III) (10.26 ± 0.13 vs. 8.57 ± 0.02; P < 0.05), or saline (IV) (10.26 ± 0.13 vs. 6.47 ± 0.26; P < 0.05). In addition, mice treated with the GRF (1–32) microspheres exhibited the highest expression levels of GRF as detected by PCR, RT-PCR, and ELISA (mean 2.56 ± 0.40, P < 0.05, overall comparison of treatment with groups II, III, and IV). Additionally, rabbits were injected in the tibialis muscle with the same treatments described above. After 30 days, the group treated with GRF (1–32) microspheres gained the most weight. At day 30 postinjection, weight gain in group I was 63.93% higher than group II (plasmid) (877.10 ± 24.42 vs. 535.05 ± 26.38; P < 0.05), 108.59% higher than group III (blank MS) (877.10 ± 24.42 vs. 420.50 ± 19.39; P < 0.05), and 93.94% higher than group IV (saline) (877.10 ± 24.42 vs. 452.25 ± 27.38; P < 0.05). Furthermore, IGF-1 levels in the serum from GRF microsphere-treated group were elevated relative to all other groups. The present results suggest that encapsulation of GRF with PLGA increases GRF gene expression in muscle after local plasmid delivery, and stimulates significantly more weight gain than delivery of the naked plasmid alone. 相似文献

Abstract Sixty chickens were randomly divided into two groups (30 chickens in each group) to determine the effect of oral administration of chicken intestinal antimicrobial peptides (CIAMP) on the humoral immune response. Chickens of both groups were fed the same diet. In the treatment group chickens received drinking water supplemented with CIAMP (1 µg/ml) right after hatching. Samples of blood, bursa of Fabricus, spleen and intestine were taken at day 1, 4, 7, 10 and 17 of experiment. CIAMP supplementation enhanced the content of IgG and IgM in serum from day 4 – 10 and day 10 – 17, respectively, (p < 0.05), IgM-forming cells in bursa of Fabricus and spleen at the age of 7 days (p < 0.05) and IgG-forming cells in bursa of Fabricus at the age of 4 days (p < 0.05). In addition, CIAMP enhanced the IgA-forming cells in caecal tonsils diffuse area at day 4 (p < 0.05). Furthermore, CIAMP enhanced the antibody response to infectious bursal disease virus vaccine (IBDV) in chickens 21 days following IBDV vaccine administration (p < 0.05). These results suggested that CIAMP could modulate the humoral immune response of chickens and increased the antibody titres of infectious bursal disease virus vaccine. 相似文献
