In rats, zinc deficiency has been reported to result in elevated hepatic methionine synthase activity and alterations in folate metabolism. We investigated the effect of zinc deficiency on plasma homocysteine concentrations and the distribution of hepatic folates. Weanling male rats were fed ad libitum a zinc-sufficient control diet (382.0 nmol zinc/g diet), a low-zinc diet (7.5 nmol zinc/g diet), or a control diet pair-fed to the intake of the zinc-deficient rats. After 6 weeks, the body weights of the zinc-deficient and pair-fed control groups were lower than those of controls, and plasma zinc concentrations were lowest in the zinc-deficient group. Plasma homocysteine concentrations in the zinc-deficient group (2.3 +/- 0.2 micromol/L) were significantly lower than those in the ad libitum-fed and pair-fed control groups (6.7 +/- 0.5 and 3.2 +/- 0.4 micromol/L, respectively). Hepatic methionine synthase activity in the zinc-deficient group was higher than in the other two groups. Low mean percentage of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate in total hepatic folates and low plasma folate concentration were observed in the zinc-deficient group compared with the ad libitum-fed and pair-fed control groups. The reduced plasma homocysteine and folate concentrations and reduced percentage of hepatic 5-methyltetrahydrofolate are probably secondary to the increased activity of hepatic methionine synthase in zinc deficiency. 相似文献

Progressive changes in iron levels, total iron binding capacity and hematocrit values in sera of rats infected with Trypanosoma lewisi are described. The host dietary group were: (1) complete or full complement; (2) iron-deficient, and (3) pair-fed or calorically restricted. The hematocrit values of T. lewisi-infected rats given the various diets were not significantly different from those of the controls. The decrease in total iron binding capacity (TIBC) of rats inoculated with T. lewisi and fed complete and pair-fed diets ranged up to 15% over uninfected controls. TIBC levels in rats fed an iron-deficient diet and inoculated with T. lewisi ranged up to 32% over uninfected controls. TIBC levels of deficient infected rats were significantly different from the controls from day 90 to infection to the end of the observation period. Serum iron (SI) values of non-infected rats regardless of dietary regimen showed significantly higher values than T. lewisi-infected animals between days 95 and 120. The average SI value, for this period, in adequately fed control rats was 204 +/- 7 microgram/100 ml as compared to 172 +/- 5 microgram/100 for trypanosome-infected rats. SI levels of rats on a pair-fed diet and infected with T. lewisi decreased to 17% over uninfected controls. SI levels of animals on an iron-deficient diet and infected with T. lewisi decreased up to 76% over uninfected controls. 相似文献

We investigated whether lowering food intake by high phosphorus (P) diet influenced parathyroid hormone (PTH) actions, bone turnover markers, and kidney mineral concentration in rats. Rats in two of the three groups were respectively given free access to a control diet (C group) and a high P diet (HP group) for 21 days. Rats in another group (PF group) were pair-fed the control diet with the HP group. Compared to the C and PF groups, serum PTH concentration, urinary C-terminal telopeptide of type I collagen excretion, and kidney calcium and P concentrations were significantly higher in the HP group. Urinary excretion of cAMP was significantly lower in the HP group than in the C and PF groups. These results suggested that high P diet decreased PTH action in the kidney and increased bone resorption and kidney mineral concentrations independently of lowering food intake. 相似文献

Weanling Sherman rats were pair-fed for 8 days on a control or a magnesium deficient diet containing 70.5% sucrose. After a 12-hour fast, the rats were injected intraperitoneally with glucose (250 mg/100 g body weight) and arterial blood was drawn at 0, 15, 30, 60, 90 minutes after injection. Before glucose loading, in magnesium deficient rats, plasma magnesium levels were significantly increased. The plasma triglyceride concentration was significantly higher in magnesium deficient rats compared to controls. After glucose loading, in the control group, the plasma insulin concentrations increased to 67.9 +/- 5.8 microU/ml at 15 minutes and returned to pretreatment levels by 30 minutes; in the magnesium-deficient rats, the plasma insulin levels were significantly lower at 15 minutes 32.9 +/- 5.6 microU/ml (P less than 0.01) and returned more slowly to the pre-challenge level. No significant differences were observed in plasma glucose levels between the two groups of rats. 相似文献

—Studies were made of the effects of pantothenic acid deficiency during the neonatal period on brain lipids in rats. Mothers with 6–8 pups to a litter were fed from soon after birth a diet either normal or deficient in pantothenate. An additional control group (restricted controls) was pair-fed with the deficient group. Significant deficits were found in the pups of the pantothenate-deficient group and in those of the restricted controls with regard to body weight, brain weight and brain concentration of lipids (total lipid, cholesterol, phospholipid, galactolipid and gangliosides) at 21 days of age. The deficits in both these groups were comparable. The results suggest that the effects of pantothenate deficiency may be due to the resulting growth deficit rather than to the deficiency of pantothenate per se. 相似文献

It is well known that excess dietary histidine induces the metabolic changes in copper and zinc. Therefore, this study was carried out to clarify whether excess dietary histidine alters the gene expressions of metallothionein-1 and metallothionein-2 in the liver and kidney. Male rats were fed the control (ad libitum and pair-fed) or histidine-excess (50 g of L-histidine per kg of diet) diet for 0, 1 and 3 days. The levels of liver metallothionein-1 and metallothionein-2 mRNA were markedly lower in the rats fed the histidine-excess diet as compared to those of the control (ad libitum and pair-fed) diet, when fed for 1 or 3 days. The levels of renal metallothionein-1 and metallothionein-2 mRNA in the rats fed the histidine-excess diet were higher or tended to be higher as compared with the rats fed the control (ad libitum and pair-fed) diet when fed for 1 or 3 days, respectively. At the same time, hepatic copper content was decreased and renal zinc content was increased by dietary histidine. It thus appears, that such a response on the level of liver metallothionein mRNA might be related to the contents of liver copper, but of kidney metallothionein mRNA might be due to the content of zinc. 相似文献

The firing rate of efferent sympathetic nerves to brown adipose tissue was measured on 18 h or 18 d following lateral hypothalamic lesions (LH). Eighteen hours following acute lateral hypothalamic lesions, sympathetic firing rate was significantly increased. Following chronic LH lesions there was a decrease in food intake and a fall in body weight which had stabilized by four days. Eleven days after surgery a group of control animals were food restricted and subsequently pair fed twice daily to maintain a body weight comparable to that of the LH lesioned animals. Food intake was lower in the pair-gained animals on all but one day of the experiment. When studied 18 days following LH lesions, sympathetic firing rates were significantly higher than in either the ad lib or pair-fed controls. Sympathetic firing rate in pair fed rats, on the other hand, was significantly lower than in the sham lesioned rats. These data are consistent with the hypothesis that the LH lesion removes an inhibitory control over sympathetic firing rate both acutely and in chronically lesioned animals and that this increased sympathetic firing rate may play an important role in the maintenance of a lower body weight. 相似文献

Insulin binding to liver membranes has been studied in term fetuses of rats fed ethanol-containing liquid diet during pregnancy . Pair-fed and ad libitum-fed controls received liquid diet in which maltose-dextrins were substituted isocalorically for ethanol. Food consumption and body weigh gain of ethanol- imbibing dams were 35% and 70% less than their ad libitum counterparts respectively. Ethanol-fed rats also exhibited less gain in body weight than pair-fed controls despite isocalorically equivalent food intake. The number of live pups was not different among the various groups; however, liver weight of fetuses exposed to ethanol in utero was 47% less than those of the pups of ad libitum control dams and 28% less than those of the offspring of pair-fed control rats. Insulin binding to liver membranes of fetuses exposed to ethanol in utero was lower than that of ad libitum controls but was not significantly different from that of the pair-fed control animals. Average affinity profiles showed a reduction in K at all levels of receptor occupancy in the fetuses of ethanol-fed rats. For fetuses of the pair-fed group, K was reduced only at fractional occupancy below 20% but not at higher fractional occupancy. Because of the similarity of insulin binding in the fetuses of the ethanol-fed rats and their pair-fed counterparts, effects of ethanol on insulin binding cannot account for the reduced hepatic glycogen stores previously reported in term fetuses. 相似文献

Male NMRI mice were fed a diet containing a complete mixture of amino acids or a mixture deficient in methionine-cysteine or lysine (30% of the control level) for a period of 6 days. During the feeding period all mice received dimethylnitrosamine in the drinking water ad libitum. The exposure averaged 1 mg dimethylnitrosamine/kg body weight and day. The concentration of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase was measured in liver extracts. It decreased significantly in the methionine-cysteine deficient mice. When DNA from the liver was analyzed for alkylated purine bases the mice received a single dose of 14C-labeled dimethylnitrosamine (0.5 or 1 mg/kg body weight) at 120 min before sacrifice. The concentration of O6-methylguanine increased significantly over the control level upon feeding the deficient diets and was restored to the concentration of the controls by refeeding lysine for 2 days following 6 days of lysine deficiency. The increased ratio of O6-methylguanine to N-7-methylguanine indicated that methylation of guanine in the N-7 position was not subject to variation by the intake of dimethylnitrosamine during the dietary deficiencies. The results demonstrate the requirement for a balanced composition of amino acids in the diet to maintain a sufficient concentration of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase in the cells and thus to permit efficient removal of the methyl group from the O-6 position of guanine in DNA after exposure to dimethylnitrosamine. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to determine whether the generalized catabolic effects of chronic ethanol may be associated with a decline in plasma levels of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1). Male Sprague-Dawley rats were fed a liquid diet containing 5% ethanol or pair-fed a diet made isocaloric with maltose-dextrin. Animals were maintained on this diet for either 12 days or 4.5 months. Another group of animals were fed control diet ad libitum for 2 weeks. After 12 days of feeding, plasma concentrations of IGF-1 in ad libitum fed rats were 771 +/- 41 ng/ml which was greater than concentrations in either pair-fed (595 +/- 23 ng/ml) or ethanol-fed (680 +/- 40 ng/ml) rats (P less than 0.05). After 4.5 months of feeding, plasma levels of IGF-1 in ad libitum and pair-fed rats were similar to the 12 day study (736 +/- 56 and 607 +/- 26 ng/ml, respectively). However, a significant decrease in plasma levels of IGF-1 was observed in ethanol-fed animals over the 4.5 month period (551 +/- 28 ng/ml, P less than 0.05). Results of a similar study in rats fed a high-fat diet for 4.5 months were similar to those found with the low-fat diet. These results indicate that 1) dietary restriction of the type routinely used in this pair-feeding regimen decreases plasma levels of IGF-1, 2) chronic ethanol feeding further decreases plasma IGF-1 levels compared to pair-fed rats, 3) the effects of ethanol on IGF-1 concentrations are not modified by dietary fat, and 4) the effects on IGF-1 are not directly dependent on elevated plasma ethanol concentrations. Our results suggest that IGF-1 secreting cells in the liver may be progressively damaged by chronic ethanol feeding. 相似文献

Effects of protein malnutrition on adipose tissue development were studied in weanling male Sprague-Dawley rats fed isocaloric diets ad libitum containing either 22% (controls) or 8% (protein-malnourished rats) casein, and in rats pair-fed to the protein-malnourished rats with the 22% casein diet. After 32 days on the diet, protein-malnourished rats were 37% and pair-fed 67% the weight of the controls, while torso length was 37% and 73% of controls, respectively. Food consumption relative to body weight was greatest in protein-malnourished rats. Compared to control rats, the distal epididymal adipocyte number in the protein-malnourished rats was decreased in proportion to the decrease in body size and was more closely related to the protein intake than to the total calories consumed. After 32 days on diet, mean adipocyte number per 2 distal pads was 11.7 x 10(6) in controls and 4.3 x 10(6) in protein-malnourished rats. In pair-fed rats, cell number lagged behind controls at 4 and 11 days, but was normal at 32 days (11.4 x 10(6) cells). The distal epididymal pad adipocyte size and percent lipid were similar in all groups during the first 25 days of dietary treatment. Adipocyte size was increased significantly in controls at day 32 compared to the other two groups. At each time studied through day 25 on diet, epididymal pad weight was related to the adipose cell number rather than the cell size. It is concluded that severe restriction of dietary protein during the postweaning period of growth in rats results in decreased epididymal adipocyte proliferation and/or differentiation concomitant with generalized growth retardation, whereas isocaloric feeding of a diet of normal protein content is associated with only a transient delay in adipose tissue development. 相似文献

We evaluated the effects of difructose anhydride III (DFAIII) on body weights of ovariectomized rats, which are a good model for obesity by estrogen deficiency-induced overeating. Female rats (10 weeks old) were subjected to ovariectomy or sham operation and then fed with or without a diet containing 3% or 6% DFAIII for 33 days or pair-fed control diet during the same period. Rats fed DFAIII showed significantly decreased food intake, energy intake, body weight gain, body energy accumulation, and fat tissue weight than control group, regardless of ovariectomy. DFAIII may decrease body fat dependent of reduced food/energy intake. Compared with the respective pair feeding groups, rats fed DFAIII showed significantly decreased body energy and fat tissue weight, regardless of ovariectomy, suggesting its potential as a low-energy substitute for high-energy sweeteners. The low energy of DFAIII may contribute to decreased body fat, which may not be dependent on obesity. 相似文献

The effects of a zinc-deficient diet (1.5 mg/kg) on nitrogen balance in rats, fed ad libitum during 30 days, was tested. Three nitrogen balances, each of 5 days, were done on the 4th, 15th and 25th days. A pair-fed group, with a supplemented diet at 80 mg/kg of zinc, was used as control. No significant differences (P less than or equal to 0.05) in any nitrogen balances for True Digestibility, Operative Biological Value and body weight were found. Nevertheless a trend was observed in all studied variables, indicating that the proteins of the control diet were better utilized than those of the zinc-deficient ones. The variation of the Biological Value of the proteins in the zinc-deficient group along the experimental period was similar to the control group. 相似文献

A diet containing 20 ppm (micrograms/g) of purified deoxynivalenol (DON) was fed to male and female Sprague-Dawley rats for 60 and 15 days, respectively, before breeding. Rats consuming feed amended with DON throughout pregnancy and lactation showed no clinical signs of toxicity, nor did the control or pair-fed control groups. Male rats in the DON treatment group showed no feed refusal but were less efficient than males in control groups in converting feed into body mass. Feed refusal in female rats varied with stage of pregnancy. Before breeding, overall feed consumption was similar in all groups, but in the DON treatment group there was significant feed refusal for the first 2 days. Feed conversion efficiency was reduced in the DON treatment group. Pregnant and lactating rats fed DON-treated feed ate 6% less than did control rats fed solvent-treated feed. Although pair-fed control rats ate 14 to 21% less than rats in the DON treatment group, their body weights were greater than those of the DON group rats throughout most of the feeding trials, indicating that DON has a toxic effect. Only 50% of the matings between DON group rats resulted in pregnancy, compared with 80% in the control groups. There were no differences detected among groups in ratio of male to female pups, survival rate, or average litter number and weight. Pup weight gains in all groups were comparable through postnatal day 14.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The fatty acid composition of constituent phospholipids and the cholesterol content of rat liver plasma membranes were determined subsequent to maternal alcohol ingestion during pregnancy and lactation. The alcoholic group was given a liquid Metrecal diet containing 37% ethanol-derived calories. The control group was pair-fed an isocaloric sucrose/Metrecal diet. Litters were killed for lipid analyses at days 5, 15 and 25 after birth. These studies revealed that the total phospholipid phosphorus was similar and increased significantly with age in both groups. Cholesterol also increased significantly with age in both groups but was greater in the alcoholic pups, resulting in a higher cholesterol/phospholipid molar ratio. While the phosphatidylethanolamine (PE) content increased with age in both groups, that of sphingomyelin decreased. Phosphatidylserine + phosphatidylinositol (PS + PI) was significantly higher in the control group at all ages studied. A consistent increase of C22:6 in phosphatidylcholine (PC), sphingomyelin, PS + PI and in the total phospholipid fraction from alcoholic pups was observed. Although other fatty acid changes were found in PC, PS + PI and sphingomyelin, PE was not affected. These results suggest that specific adaptive changes were induced in the liver plasma membrane lipids of the progeny from alcoholic rats. 相似文献

Adriamycin-treated rats were monitored for survivorship while consuming a normal diet adequate in riboflavin, a normal diet and receiving daily high-dose injections of riboflavin-5'-phosphate (flavin mononucleotide, FMN), or a riboflavin-deficient diet. Each animal was compared to a corresponding pair-fed, saline-treated control. In Adriamycin-treated rats fed the normal chow diet alone, survivorship declined within 7 days and remained constant after 12 days to about 50%. Adriamycin-treated rats consuming the normal diet and injected with FMN initially showed similar survivorship; however, after 20 days survival fell to 14%. Adriamycin-treated, riboflavin-deficient rats showed within 5 days a precipitous decline in survivorship which leveled to 5%. These results suggest that during Adriamycin treatment, proper riboflavin nutriture may be a crucial determinant of survival. 相似文献

Male, weanling rats divided into three groups were maintained for 15 days on a semipurified diet containing either 5% casein fed (group 1), 20% casein pair-fed to group 1 (group 2), or 20% casein fed (group 3). Animals on day 16 were injected i.p. with 3H-AFB1 (1.90 mg/kg) and were sacrificed six hours later. In both the control and protein deficient animals, binding of AFB1 to DNA was greater than that for chromatin protein. In the protein deficient animals, there was a consistent decrease (70%) in binding to chromatin, DNA and chromatin protein. The decrease in binding to nuclear macromolecules in protein deficient animals is correlated with carcinogenicity and mixed function oxidase (MFO) enzyme activity, and the relationships between carcinogenicity, MFO activity, and binding are discussed. 相似文献
