The role of central glucagon in regulating GH secretion was studied in conscious male rats with chronic indwelling intra-atrial and intracerebro-ventricular (ICV) cannulae. Repeated blood sampling every 20 min from 1000 hr to 1700 hr showed two major GH bursts occurring at regular intervals (3.6±0.1 hr) around 1200 hr and 1540 hr. The ICV (lateral ventricle) injection of glucagon (10 μg/rat) at 1100 hr inhibited spontaneous GH secretion, and the mean (±SE) plasma GH levels from 1120 hr to 1700 hr were lower than those in controls injected ICV with the vehicle solution only (31.9±7.8 ng/ml vs. 157.1±13.4 ng/ml, p<0.01). The GH bursts did not appear until 5 hr after the injection. The intravenous (IV) injection of glucagon (10 μg/rat) did not change plasma GH levels or the occurrence of spontaneous GH bursts. The glucagon-induced suppression of GH release was attenuated when anti-somatostatin serum (ASS), but not normal rabbit serum (NRS), was given IV in a volume of 0.25 ml immediately before the ICV injection of glucagon (10 μg/rat) (mean GH levels at 1120–1700 hr: ASS+glucagon, 133.6±26.7 ng/ml vs. NRS+glucagon, 30.5±7.4 ng/ml, p<0.01). These findings suggest that central glucagon may play an inhibitory role in regulating GH secretion by stimulating SRIF release from the hypothalamus in the rat. 相似文献

Starvation of Wistar rats induced a shift of glucose threshold for insulin secretion of isolated islets above 5 mM, which can be restored by pretreatment of the tissue with glucose, mannose, glyceraldehyde, an theophylline, but not with acetylcholine or lactate. The improved insulin secretion is not connected with an enhanced glucose utilization. 相似文献

Previous studies have suggested that somatostatin inhibits pancreatic secretion at a central vagal site, and the dorsal vagal complex (DVC) is involved in central feedback inhibition of the exocrine pancreas. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of exogenous somatostatin in the DVC on pancreatic secretion and the somatostatin receptor subtype(s) responsible for the effect. The effects of somatostatin microinjected into the DVC on pancreatic secretion stimulated by cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) or 2-deoxy-d-glucose (2-DG) were examined in anesthetized rats. To investigate the somatostatin inhibitory action site, a somatostatin receptor antagonist [SRA; cyclo(7-aminoheptanoyl-Phe-d-Trp-Lys-Thr)] was microinjected into the DVC before intravenous infusion of somatostatin and CCK-8/2-DG. The effects of injection of a somatostatin receptor-2 agonist (seglitide) and combined injection of somatostatin and a somatostatin receptor-2 antagonist (CYN 154806) in the DVC on the pancreatic secretion were also investigated. Somatostatin injected into the DVC significantly inhibited pancreatic secretion evoked by CCK-8 or 2-DG in a dose-dependent manner. SRA injected into the DVC completely reversed the inhibitory effect of intravenous administration of somatostatin. Seglitide injected into the DVC also inhibited CCK-8/2-DG-induced pancreatic protein secretion. However, combined injection of somatostatin and CYN 154806 did not affect the CCK-8/2-DG-induced pancreatic secretion. Somatostatin in the DVC inhibits pancreatic secretion via somatostatin receptor-2, and the DVC is the action site of somatostatin for its inhibitory effect. 相似文献

We reported that when synthase D was converted to synthase I in a rat liver extract, it progressed through a synthase form with activity characteristics which could not be explained by a mixture of synthase D and synthase I (Tan, A. W. H. (1981) Biochem. J. 200, 169-172). In this study we will borrow the "R" nomenclature to describe this "non-D" and "non-I" activity. Using activities measured at five different conditions and simultaneous equations, the amount of the three synthase forms in liver extracts can be estimated. During incubation of the liver extract, the amount of synthase R was found to increase with time and then to decrease as synthase I was generated, a profile typical of an enzyme intermediate. We investigated for the presence of synthase R in rat liver under different in vivo conditions. In contrast to the liver of fed rats which had very little synthase R, the liver of fasted rats was found to have 30% of its synthase in the R form. This synthase R was increased 2-fold when glucose was given and decreased to a very low level when glucagon was given. Synthase I was not detected, even in the livers of starved rats given glucose. Using conditions which were closer to those of the cell, synthase R was found to have relatively high activity, up to 70% that of synthase I. Based on these results, synthase R is proposed to be an active enzyme form responsible for glycogen synthesis in rat liver. 相似文献

A novel pituitary protein "7B2" was secreted by GH1 cells. The secretion of 7B2 was increased in the presence of human GRF in a dose-responsive manner. In contrast, a somatostatin analog, SMS 201-995, revealed the inhibitory effects on the basal- and GRF-induced secretion of 7B2 at the concentration of 10(-7) M. These findings suggest that 7B2 is a secretory protein of rat GH1 cells under certain conditions. 相似文献

The effects of several superactive analogs of somatostatin on gastric acid response to various exogenous and endogenous stimulants were investigated in conscious dogs and rats with gastric fistulae (GF). The inhibition was compared to that induced by somatostatin-14 (S-S-14) at two dose levels. Several octapeptide analogs of somatostatin including D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Val-Cys-Trp-NH2 (RC-160) and D-Phe-Cys-Tyr-D-Trp-Lys-Val-Cys-Thr-NH2 (RC-121), which were superactive in tests on suppression of GH levels, were 4-5 times more potent than S-S-14 in inhibiting desglugastrin-stimulated gastric acid secretion in GF dogs. The analog RC-160 also reduced the rise in serum gastrin levels and gastric acid secretion induced by sham feeding (SF) in dogs with gastric and esophageal fistulae (EF), but did not decrease food consumption. Gastric acid secretion induced by histamine (80 micrograms/kg/h) in dogs was not affected by 1-5 micrograms/kg/h of analog RC-121 or by 5 micrograms/kg/h of S-S-14. Analogs RC-160, RC-121, and RC-98-I (D-Trp-Cys-Phe-D-Trp-Lys-Thr-Cys-Thr-NH2) and others also powerfully inhibited desglugastrin-induced potent as S-S-14 in dogs but its activity was higher in rats. The results indicate that octapeptide analogs which are superactive in GH-inhibition tests are also more potent than S-S-14 in suppressing gastric acid secretion. These findings may be of clinical value. 相似文献

Involvement of central serotonergic systems in dextromethorphan-induced behavioural syndrome in rats
Gaikwad RV Gaonkar RK Jadhav SA Thorat VM Jadhav JH Balsara JJ 《Indian journal of experimental biology》2005,43(7):620-625
Dextromethorphan, a noncompetitive blocker of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) type of glutamate receptor, at 45, 60 and 75 mg/kg, ip doses induced a behavioural syndrome characterised by reciprocal forepaw treading, lateral head-weaving, hind-limb abduction and flat body posture. Such type of behavioural syndrome is induced by 8-hydroxy-2- (di-n-propylamino) tetralin (8-OH-DPAT) by directly stimulating the central postsynaptic 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT, serotonin) receptors of the 5-HT1A type. Pretreatment with buspirone (5, 10 mg/kg, ip) and l-propranolol (10, 20 mg/kg, ip) antagonised the behavioural syndrome induced by 8-OH-DPAT and dextromethorphan. Pretreatment with p-chlorophenylalanine (100 mg/kg/day x 4 days) antagonised the behavioural syndrome induced by dextromethorphan and dexfenfluramine but had no significant effect on 8-OH-DPAT induced behavioural syndrome. This indicates that dextromethorphan induces the behavioural syndrome by releasing 5-HT from serotonergic neurons with resultant activation of the postsynaptic 5-HT1A receptors by the released 5-HT. Pretreatment with fluoxetine (10 mg/kg, ip) significantly potentiated the behavioural syndrome induced by dextromethorphan and 5-hydroxytryptophan but significantly antagonised dexfenfluramine induced behavioural syndrome. This indicates that dextromethorphan releases 5-HT by a mechanism which differs from that of dexfenfluramine. Dextromethorphan may be releasing 5-HT by blocking the NMDA receptors and thereby counteracting the inhibitory influence of l-glutamate on 5-HT release. 相似文献

The effects of chronic starvation (1/4 of ad libitum food intake) for 21 or 30 days were studied on the hypothalamic and serum concentrations of LHRH, the pituitary and serum concentrations of LH, and the weights of the anterior pituitary, ovary and uterus in adult female Wistar rats (chronic starved group, CSG). Control female rats were fed ad lib. for the same periods (control group, CG). On day 22 or 31, half of the rats of each group were weighed and sacrificed by decapitation. Since there were no difference on above parameters between the experiments on 22nd and 31st day, the results were combined for each parameters. At the time of sacrifice, the body weight of CSG was on the average 44% lower than that of CG rats, and also marked reduction in anterior pituitary (44%), ovarian (61%) and uterine weights (69%) was observed. Serum LH concentrations (mean +/- SE; 5.67 +/- 0.67 versus 33.30 +/- 6.00 ng/ml, P less than 0.001) and pituitary LH content (286.7 +/- 19.4 vs 451.0 +/- 32.8 micrograms, P less than 0.001) were significantly decreased in CSG than in CG rats. However, pituitary LH concentration was not reduced because of the proportional reduction to the pituitary weight of CSG rats. Hypothalamic immunoreactive LHRH (IR-LHRH) content in CSG showed a significant increase as compared to CG rats (5.77 +/- 0.52 vs 4.41 +/- 0.27 ng/hypothalamic extract, P less than 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The effects of intracerebroventricular (ICV) administration of neurotensin (NT) before a meal on intestinal postprandial motility were examined in conscious rats chronically fitted with intraparietal Nichrome electrodes in the duodeno-jejunum. The effects were compared with those of two analogues, [D-Tyr11]NT and [D-Trp11]NT, resistant to degradation by brain peptidases. NT (10 μg ICV) delayed the occurrence of postprandial disruption of duodenal motility and blocked it on the jejunum. [D-Tyr11]NT and [D-Trp11]NT (1 μg ICV) elicited the same effects but at a ten-fold lower dose. NT administered peripherally just before a meal significantly lengthened the duration of the postprandial motor pattern. The central effect of NT on the fed pattern involved dopaminergic neurons as it was mimicked by dopamine, blocked by haloperidol and partly antagonized by either sulpiride or (+) SCH 23390. It is concluded that: 1) both D1 and D2 receptors are involved in the blocking effect of the postprandial disruption induced by central NT; 2) that [D-Tyr11]NT and [D-Trp11]NT are potent agonists at NT receptors in the brain. 相似文献

Female Wistar-strain rats were starved for 14-19 days by feeding approximately 1/4 of the amount consumed by ad libitum fed controls. The body weight was reduced by 41% and the heart weight by 38% in these starving periods. The 125I-iodocyanopindrol (ICYP) binding capacity of heart preparations from the starved rats was 35.3 +/- 11.1 (mean +/- SD) fmol/mg protein in comparison with 69.3 +/- 14.9 for the controls. Serum 3,5,3'-triiodothyronine (T3), thyroxine and TSH levels as well as pituitary TSH contents were markedly lower in the starved rats. One group of them further received 20 ng of T3 daily after the 8th day of the experiment. The body weight decreased by 47% of the controls but the ICYP binding capacity recovered to 56.3 +/- 10.9 fmol/mg protein. There was no difference in association constants of the receptors in these three groups. It was concluded that quasi-chronic starvation in rats caused a remarkable decrease in the number of beta-adrenergic receptors in heart and this was partly offset by the substitution of T3. 相似文献

Recent studies showed that oxytocin and opioid peptides play important roles in pain modulation at different levels in the central nervous system. The present study was performed to explore whether opioid system is involved in the oxytocin-induced antinociception in the brain of rats. The results showed that: (1) intracerebroventricular injection of oxytocin induced dose-dependent increases in hindpaw withdrawal latencies (HWL) to noxious thermal and mechanical stimulation in rats. (2) The antinociceptive effect of oxytocin was attenuated dose-dependently by intracerebroventricular injection of naloxone, indicating an involvement of opioid system in the oxytocin-induced antinociception. (3) It is interesting that the antinociceptive effect of oxytocin was attenuated by subsequent intracerebroventricular injection of the μ-opioid antagonist β-funaltrexamine (β-FNA) and the κ-opioid antagonist nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI), but not the δ-opioid antagonist naltrindole. The results indicate that oxytocin plays an antinociceptive role in the brain of rats; μ- and κ-opioid receptors, not δ-receptors, are involved in the oxytocin-induced antinociception in the central nervous system of rats. 相似文献

The postulation that dopamine (DA) may tonically inhibit aldosterone (ALDO) secretion has arisen from the finding that metoclopramide, a non-selective DA receptor antagonist with prominent non-dopaminergic actions, stimulates ALDO secretion. Experiments were performed to determine: (a.) the ability of several non-specific and subtype-specific DA receptor antagonists to stimulate ALDO secretion, (b.) the subtype DA receptor involved in regulating ALDO secretion, and (c.) if ALDO responses were associated with changes in plasma Na+(pNa), K+(pK), or osmolality (pOsm). Blood samples were withdrawn from carotid arterial catheters in conscious, fasted male Sprague-Dawley rats before and following intra-arterial administration of lactated Ringer's placebo, furosemide (10 mg/kg), or one of several DA receptor antagonists. Furosemide stimulated ALDO, decreased pK, and left pNa and pOsm unchanged. The non-selective DA receptor antagonists metoclopramide (0.2, 0.6 mg/kg), rs-sulpiride (0.2 mg/kg), and haloperidol (0.1 mg/kg), and the DA-2 receptor antagonists domperidone (0.1 mg/kg) and s-sulpiride (0.1 mg/kg) each stimulated ALDO, and left pNa, pK, and pOsm unchanged. Conversely, the DA-1 receptor antagonists SCH 23390 (0.03, 0.1 mg/kg) and r-sulpiride (0.1 mg/kg) failed to stimulate ALDO, and left pNa, pK, and pOsm unaltered. These studies suggest that ALDO secretion in rats is modulated by a mechanism involving DA-2, but not DA-1 subtype receptors, and that the ALDO responses to DA receptor antagonism are independent of changes in pNa, pK, and pOsm. 相似文献

Adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats is associated with growth failure, hypermetabolism and accelerated protein breakdown. The aim of this work was to study the effects of adjuvant-induced arthritis on GH and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I). Arthritis was induced by an intradermal injection of complete Freund's adjuvant and rats were killed 18 and 22 days later. IGF-I and GH levels were measured by radioimmunoassay. Pituitary GH mRNA was analyzed by northern blot and IGF binding proteins (IGFBPs) by western blot. Arthritic rats showed a decrease in both serum and hepatic concentrations of IGF-I. On the contrary, arthritis increased the circulating IGFBPs. The serum concentration of IGF-I in the arthritic rats was negatively correlated with the body weight loss observed in these animals. Arthritis decreased the serum concentration of GH and this decrease seems to be due to an inhibition of GH synthesis, since pituitary GH mRNA content was decreased in arthritic rats (p<0.01). These data suggest that the decrease in body weight gain in arthritic rats may be, at least in part, secondary to the decrease in GH and IGF-I secretion. Furthermore, the increased serum IGFBPs may also be involved in the disease process. 相似文献

In order to find a chronic GHRH administration capable of stimulating growth rate without depleting pituitary GH content, prepubertal female rats were subcutaneously (sc) treated with GHRH (1-29)-NH2 and somatostatin (SS). In experiment 1, the rats received sc injections of GHRH and cyclic natural SS for 19 days. In the second study, female rats were continuously treated during 21 days with GHRH, using a slow release pellet, alone or combined with one daily injection of long acting SS (octreotide). In experiment 1, body weight was significantly increased when GHRH was administered at the highest daily dosage (1200 microg/day), accompanied by an slight increment in pituitary GH content. Hypothalamic SS concentrations decreased when GHRH or SS were administered alone whereas the combined treatment with both peptides did not modify this parameter, which suggests the existence of a balance between the chronic actions of both peptides on hypothalamus. In experiment 2, the continuous infusion of GHRH increased plasma GH levels and tended to enhance pituitary GH content. Nevertheless, GHRH effect was not effective enough to increase body weight. By adding one daily injection of SS both GHRH effects on the pituitary gland were abolished. Our study indicates that female rats retain responsiveness to chronic GHRH and SS treatments at both pituitary and hypothalamic levels. 相似文献

To non-anaesthetized rats starved for 3 days, [U-14C]acetone, NaH14CO3, L-[U-14C]lactate, [2-14C]acetate or D-[U-14C]- plus D-[3-3H]-glucose was injected intravenously. From the change in the plasma concentration of labelled acetone versus time after the injection, the metabolic clearance rate of acetone was calculated as 2.25 ml/min per kg body wt., and its rate of turnover as 0.74 mumol/min per kg. The extent and time course of the labelling of plasma glucose, lactate, urea and acetoacetate were followed and compared with those observed after the injection of labelled lactate, acetate and NaHCO3. The labelling of plasma lactate was rapid and extensive. Some 1.37% of the 14C atoms of circulating glucose originated from plasma acetone, compared with 44% originating from lactate. By deconvolution of the Unit Impulse Response Function of glucose, it was shown that the flux of C atoms from acetone to glucose reached a peak at about 100 min after injection of labelled acetone. In comparable experiments the transfer from lactate reached a peak at 14 min after the injection of labelled lactate. It was concluded that acetone is converted into lactate to a degree sufficient to account for the labelling of plasma glucose and is thus a true, albeit minor, substrate of glucose synthesis in starved rats. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of muscimol, the GABAA receptor agonist, and baclofen, the GABAB receptor agonist, injected into the third cerebral ventricle on plasma epinephrine (E) and norepinephrine (NE) levels in anesthetized rats. Baclofen (0.4–5 nmol) increased plasma NE levels in a dose dependent manner but did not affect plasma E levels. Muscimol (2.5 nmol) affected neither plasma E nor NE levels. Concomitant injection of muscimol (2.5 nmol) with baclofen (5 nmol) attenuated the baclofen (5 nmol)-induced NE secretion. These findings suggest that activation of GABAB receptors in the central nervous system (CNS) stimulates the sympathetic nervous system but not the adrenal medullary response. In contrast, activation of GABAA receptors in the CNS affects neither the sympathetic nervous system nor the adrenal medullary response, but inhibits the sympathetic neural activity induced by activation of GABAB receptors in anesthetized rats. 相似文献
