大豆黄酮对去卵巢猪LH分泌的影响

去卵巢的德国格丁根微型小母猪、于静脉内注射或皮下埋植大豆黄酮,并以雌激素诱导后,观察其对垂体ＬＨ反馈性分泌的影响。试验分两系列。第一系列共三组,每组６头：试验组按每１０μｇ／ｋｇ体重静脉注入大豆黄酮悬浮液,对照Ⅰ组注入相等量大豆黄酮溶剂,对照Ⅱ组作空白对照。第二系列为二组,每组９头动物,试验组皮下埋植大豆黄酮硅胶囊,对照组埋植不含任何药品的硅胶管,埋植期１２天。埋植后第７天,两组同时肌注雌二醇。慢性血管导管采集血样,ＲＩＡ分析血浆ＬＨ。结果表明,系列试验一,试验组注射大豆黄酮后ＬＨ分泌呈下降趋势,ＬＨ平均水平和峰值在处理后第１小时明显低于对照组,尔后与对照组趋于相似。系列试验二,试验组在大豆黄酮埋植后第４天和第７天,ＬＨ平均水平明显低于对照组和自身埋植前。雌激素处理后４８ｈ内,试验组ＬＨ分泌几乎完全被抑制,而对照组仍有明显分泌（Ｐ＜０．００１）。ＬＨ正反馈峰,试验组较对照组晚１２ｈ出现,但峰值显著高于对照组。结果表明,大豆黄酮对去卵巢猪垂体ＬＨ分泌具有类雌激素效应,而其程度可能与大豆黄酮处理剂量和处理时间有关。

Daidzein effects on ACTH cells: immunohistomorphometric and hormonal study in an animal model of the andropause

Daidzein is a potential natural alternative to estradiol during therapy of some malignancies in men. Besides weak inhibition of tyrosine kinase activity, daidzein has a sizeable inhibitory effect on calcium channels. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of daidzein on the immunohistomorphometric features of pituitary adrenocorticotropes (ACTH cells) and circulating levels of ACTH and corticosterone, in comparison with estradiol, in an animal model of the andropause. Sixteen-month-old Wistar rats were divided into sham operated (SO), orchidectomized (Orx), estradiol treated orchidectomized (Orx+E) and daidzein treated orchidectomized (Orx+D) groups. Estradiol (0.625 mg/kg/day) and daidzein (30 mg/kg/day) were administered subcutaneously for three weeks, while the SO and Orx groups received the vehicle alone. ACTH cells were identified by the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) immunohistochemical procedure. Peripheral circulating concentrations of ACTH and corticosterone were measured by immunoassay. Orchidectomy reduced (p<0.05) the cell volume and volume density of adrenocorticotropes by 11% and 16%, respectively, in comparison to SO rats. In Orx+E rats, the volume density of ACTH cells decreased (p<0.05) by 25%, but the circulating level of ACTH increased (p<0.05) by 29%, compared to Orx rats. Daidzein treatment significantly decreased (p<0.05): volume density of ACTH cells, circulating ACTH and corticosterone by 24%, 48% and 33%, respectively, compared to the Orx group. In conclusion, this study revealed that daidzein negatively modulated the immunohistomorphometric features of ACTH cells and, unlike estradiol, decreased ACTH and corticosterone secretion, in an animal model of the andropause.     

Dietary daidzein,but not genistein,has a hypocholesterolemic effect in non-ovariectomized and ovariectomized female Sprague-Dawley rats on a cholesterol-free diet

We compared the effects of two major isoflavones, daidzein and genistein, on lipid metabolism in rats. Daidzein (150 mg/kg diet), genistein (150 mg/kg diet), daidzein and genistein (1:1, 300 mg/kg diet), or control diets were fed to 4 groups of 6-week-old ovariectomized (Ovx) and non-Ovx Sprague Dawley rats for 4 weeks. Dietary daidzein, but not genistein, reduced serum and hepatic total cholesterol levels significantly relative to that by the control group, regardless of whether the rats had undergone ovariectomy. Genistein did not exhibit any physiological effects on lipid levels, but did affect genes involved in cholesterol metabolism. These results indicate that daidzein and genistein may influence lipid regulation via differing modes of action.     

Metabolism of daidzein by fecal bacteria in rats

Daidzein (4',7-dihydroxyisoflavone), a soy phytoestrogen, is a weakly estrogenic compound that may have potential health benefits. Biotransformation of daidzein by the human gut microflora after ingestion converts it to either the highly estrogenic metabolite equol or to nonestrogenic metabolites. We investigated the metabolism of daidzein by colonic microflora of rats. Fecal samples, obtained before and after rats were exposed to daidzein at 250 or 1000 parts per million, were incubated in brain-heart infusion (BHI) broth with daidzein under anaerobic conditions. Samples were removed from the cultures daily and analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry. The fecal bacteria of all rats, regardless of prior daidzein exposure, metabolized the added daidzein to dihydrodaidzein. Both compounds disappeared rapidly from BHI cultures incubated for more than 24 h, but no other daidzein metabolites were detected. Only daidzein and dihydrodaidzein were found in a direct analysis of the feces of rats that had consumed daidzein in their diets. Unlike the fecal bacteria of humans and monkeys, the rat flora rapidly metabolized daidzein to aliphatic compounds that could not be detected by HPLC or mass spectral analysis.     

纳洛酮对大鼠烫伤休克的影响

36只烫伤大鼠,分为纳洛酮组和盐水对照组。两组动物侧脑室分别注射纳洛酮和生理盐水,观察纳洛酮对烫伤休克的影响。 结果表明:纳洛酮组大鼠的存活率高于盐水对照组。纳洛酮组动物烫伤后2小时存活率为83％,烫伤后4小时存活率为39％;盐水组动物烫伤后2小时存活率为44％,烫伤后4小时存活率为5.6％。纳洛酮组血压下降和心率减慢的进度也较慢,烫伤后180分钟血压才降低到63％,而盐水组在烫伤后90分钟血压已降低到62％。纳洛酮组动物的呼吸和体温变化也较慢。这些结果提示:纳洛酮具有一定的抗烫伤休克的作用。     

Suppression of food intake and body weight gain by naloxone in rats

The effect of acute and chronic administration of naloxone on food acquisition and weight gain in rats was studied in 3 experiments. One injection of a sparingly-soluble salt of naloxone in slow-release vehicle markedly lowered mean food intake over that of control rats injected with the vehicle only. Mean body weight of the naloxone-injected rats was significantly lower than that of the control group for one week.Repeated evening injections (2000 h) of naloxone hydrochloride in saline tended to reduce the night-time feeding below control levels throughout the 10-day period of naloxone administration. Food intake was significantly lower in the 4- and 8-h periods after the first injection of naloxone than that on the preceding saline control night. The initial decreases were offset by increased day-time feeding so that total daily food intake was not significantly altered over the 10 days. When saline was substituted for naloxone, food intake increased.Rats given naloxone following 24 h of fasting consumed significantly less food and gained less weight during 4 h of access to food compared to those receiving saline. After a 48-h fast naloxone-treated rats also gained significantly less body weight than those given saline, but the reduction in food intake was not statistically significant. These results suggest the possibility that endorphins may have a modulating effect on feeding activity.     

Prevention of chemically induced mammary tumorigenesis by daidzein in pre-pubertal rats: the role of peroxidative damage and antioxidative enzymes

Isoflavones are biologically active plant derived compounds that have several health promoting effects. In the present study hitherto unknown effects of one of the well known isoflavonoids, daidzein, has been evaluated on its chemo-preventive action against breast cancers in pre-pubertal rats. Either daidzein (500 μg/g bwt) or vehicle, dimethyl sulphoxide (DMSO), was administered at 16th, 18th, and 20th day post-partum and the chemopreventive efficacy was evaluated in dimethylbenz[a]nthracene (DMBA) induced Sprague-Dawley rats, at 50th day. To elucidate the mechanism of action, the antioxidative status was also examined in the liver and mammary gland of prebubertal rats using two different doses of daidzein (0.5 mg/kg bwt and 50 mg/kg bwt, p.o.) for 10 days. The specific activity of antioxidant enzymes as well as reduced glutathione (GSH) level and peroxidative damage were evaluated spectrophotometrically, both in liver as well as in mammary gland. Animals treated with daidzein pre-pubertally, showed a significant reduction in the tumorigenesis of mammary gland up to 37.4% as compared to animals induced for tumors with DMBA. In animals treated with 50 mg/kg of daidzein, a significant increase in the specific activities of the antioxidant enzymes such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), glutathione peroxidase (GPx), glutathione transferase (GST), DT-diaphorase (DTD), and in GSH content were observed in both liver and mammary gland. Expectedly, the specific activity of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and level of peroxidative damage was decreased, as compared to that of control group of animals. Our results suggest that, daidzein can be considered as a potent chemopreventive agent against mammary carcinogenesis in pre-pubertal animals, with modulation of antioxidant enzymes being one of its mechanisms of actions.     

Opioid regulation of luteinizing hormone secretion in the male rat

Current evidence suggests that endogenous opioid peptides (EOPs) tonically inhibit secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH) by modulating the release of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH). Because of their apparent inhibitory actions, EOPs have been assumed to alter both pulse frequency and amplitude of LH in the rat; and it has been hypothesized that EOP pathways mediate the negative feedback actions of steroids on secretion of GnRH. In order to better delineate the role of EOPs in regulating secretion of LH in the male rat, we assessed the effects of a sustained blockade of opiate receptors by naloxone on pulsatile LH release in four groups: intact male rats, acutely castrated male rats implanted for 20 h with a 30-mm capsule made from Silastic and filled with testosterone, acutely castrated male rats implanted for 20 h with an osmotic minipump dispensing 10 mg morphine/24 h, and male rats castrated approximately 20 h before treatment with naloxone. We hypothesized that if EOPs tonically inhibited pulsatile LH secretion, a sustained blockade of opiate receptors should result in a sustained increase in LH release. We found that treatment with naloxone resulted in an immediate but transient increase in LH levels in intact males compared to controls treated with saline. Even though mean levels of LH increased from 0.15 +/- 0.04 to a high of 0.57 +/- 0.14 ng/ml, no significant difference was observed between the groups in either frequency or amplitude of LH pulses across the 4-h treatment period. The transient increase in LH did result in a 3- to 4-fold elevation in levels of plasma testosterone over baseline. This increase in testosterone appeared to correspond with the waning of the LH response to naloxone. The LH response to naloxone was eliminated in acutely castrated rats implanted with testosterone. Likewise, acutely castrated rats treated with morphine also failed to respond to naloxone with an increase in LH. These observations suggest that chronic morphine and chronic testosterone may act through the same mechanism to modulate secretion of LH, or once shut down, the GnRH pulse-generating system becomes refractory to stimulation by naloxone. In acutely castrated male rats, levels of LH were significantly increased above baseline throughout the period of naloxone treatment; this finding supports the hypothesis that the acute elevation in testosterone acting through mechanism independent of opioid is responsible for the transient response of LH to naloxone in the intact rat.     

Effect of daidzein, a soy isoflavone, on bone metabolism in Cd-treated ovariectomized rats

This study compared the ability of daidzein, a soy isoflavone, with that of 17beta-estradiol to prevent bone loss in cadmium (Cd)-exposed ovariectomized (OVX) rats during growth. Four week-old female Wistar rats were randomly assigned to five treatment groups of 9 rats each, either (1) sham-operated (SH); (2) OVX and placed on experimental diets (OVX); (3) OVX fed 50 ppm of CdCl2 (OVX-Cd); (4) OVX fed 50 ppm of CdCl2 and 10 microg of daidzein per kg of body mass (OVX-CD-D); or (5) OVX fed 50 ppm of CdCl2 and 10 microg of estrogen per kg of body mass (OVX-CD-E). All rats were given free access to AIN-76 modified diet and drinking water, with or without Cd, for 8 weeks. The OVX groups gained more (P < 0.05) body mass than the SH group. Femoral mass was increased by feeding daidzein and estradiol, whereas femoral length was not (P > 0.05) significantly different among groups. Femoral breaking force was not significantly different among groups, however, femoral BMD was significantly lower in OVX-Cd than in the SH and OVX groups. Morphologically proliferative cartilage and hypertrophic cells in femur showed normal distribution in OVX-Cd-D and OVX-Cd-E groups unlike those in OVX-Cd group. These findings suggest that Cd-OVX-induced osteopenia or osteoporosis probably results from an increase in bone turnover.     

Naloxone effect on the neurological deficit induced by forebrain ischemia in rats

The effect of naloxone upon neurologic deficit was evaluated in a model of transient forebrain ischemia in rats. Awake male Wistar rats were subjected to a 30 minute ischemia by occluding both common carotid arteries 8 days after cauterizing vertebral arteries. Administration of naloxone 1 or 5 mg/kg iv 10 minutes after carotid occlusion or 1 mg/kg iv one hour after clamp removal failed to reduce immediate and tardive neurologic postischemic deficits. On the other hand, in rats treated by a dose of 1 mg/kg naloxone 10 minutes after carotid occlusion and perfused with an additional dose of 2 mg/kg/h for 80 minutes, neurologic score was improved one hour after ischemia. However mortality was not decreased whatever was the modality of naloxone administration. This result confirms previous data showing that naloxone exerts a protective effect when given at sufficiently high dosage.
