生长抑素抑制剂—半胱胺促进大鼠,幼兔生长的研究

近年来许多研究表明,注射生长抑素(Somatostatin,SS)产生的抗体可消除SS的作用.加速幼畜的生长。但由于此法需制备高效价的抗体,或以SS纯品主动免疫动物以及存在机体对抗原、抗体的清除率等问题,因而在应用于生产之前,还需进一步深入研究。1981年Szabo等报道口服半胱     

半胱胺对大鼠泌乳量及血液,组织几种激素含量的影响

选用４０只Ｗｉｓｔａｒ泌乳大鼠进行配对实验。哺乳期第８天起,实验母鼠灌服半胱胺（ｃｙｓｔｅａｍｉｎｅ,ＣＳ）８０ｍｇ／ｋｇＢ．Ｗ,每隔５天一次,直至哺乳第３０天。实验中记录泌乳量、仔鼠体重及采食量,并用放免法测定血液及组织生长抑素（ＳＳ）、生长激素（ＧＨ）、催乳素（ＰＲＬ）的含量。结果表明,ＣＳ使母鼠哺乳期第１０、１５、２０天的泌乳量明显提高（Ｐ＜０．０５）,第２５天泌乳量有所增加（Ｐ＞０．０５）,第３０天差异不明显;母鼠哺乳期采食量略有增加（Ｐ＞０．０５）,料／奶比明显下降（Ｐ＜０．０５）;哺乳期第１５天的血液、下丘脑和大脑皮层ＳＳ含量明显下降,血液ＧＨ含量显著升高（Ｐ＜０．０５）,但第２５天无明显变化;母鼠哺乳期血液ＰＲＬ含量明显下降（Ｐ＜０．０５）。提示,ＣＳ能促进大鼠泌乳,而抑制体内ＳＳ,提高内源性ＧＨ水平,可能为ＣＳ的主要作用机制。     

半胱胺对肝细胞代谢油酸过程中ROS生成和ATPase活性的影响

目的 研究了半胱胺（CS）对油酸（0A）代谢过程中自由基（ROS）生成和ATP酶（ATPase）活性的影响。方法 通过培养体外小鼠原代肝细胞,添加不同浓度的OA作用24h,通过luminol化学发光法,TBA法、DTNB法、无机磷比色法分别测定ROS、丙二醛（MDA）、谷胱甘肽（GSH）和Na^＋-K＋-ATP酶活性;选取OA（0,150,250taM／L）三个梯度,添加CS（-,50,100,150,200,250,300,350,400,450,500taM／L）,测定相同的指标。结果 添加OA大于150μM／L时,ROS、MDA生成量急剧升高,ATPase活性显著降低（P〈0．05）。添加CS能提高GSH,减少ROS和MDA的生成,提高ATPase的活性,且作用的效果显著（P〈0．05）。但大量添加CS（350-500μM／L）则效果相反。结论 大量添加OA会引起肝细胞氧化应激;添加CS能清除ROS,提高ATPase活性;并伴随OA添加量的增加,CS的最佳需要量也增加。     

半胱胺对草鱼下丘脑-脑垂体组织共孵育中生长激素分泌的影响

采用静态孵育和放射免疫测定技术,研究了生长抑素抑制剂半胱胺盐酸盐对草鱼脑垂体组织单独孵育或下丘脑脑垂体组织共孵育中生长激素分泌的影响。结果表明：脑垂体组织单独孵育时,半胱胺盐酸盐(0．1、1和10mmol／L)对基础生长激素分泌无影响;而下丘脑脑垂体组织共孵育时,半胱胺盐酸盐(0．1、1和10mmol／L)对基础生长激素分泌有明显影响,且是剂量依存的。神经肽hGHRH、sGnRH—A和LHRH—A对CSH影响的下丘脑脑垂体组织共孵育中生长激素分泌均无协同作用。我们认为,半胱胺盐酸盐可在下丘脑水平调节生长激素释放,半胱胺盐酸盐调节草鱼离体生长激素分泌是由下丘脑途径介导的。     

生长抑素通过中缝大核发挥镇痛和增强电针镇痛的作用

本工作以钾离子透入引起大鼠甩尾为痛指标,观察了中缝大核微量注射生长抑素、生长抑素的耗竭剂半胱胺和抗生长抑素血清对大鼠痛阈和电针镇痛效应的影响。中缝大核微量注射生长抑素可提高大鼠的痛阈,并使电针镇痛的效应加强。用半胱胺耗竭或用抗生长抑素血清中和中缝大核中的生长抑素,均可使大鼠的痛阈降低,并减弱电针镇痛的效应。这表明生长抑素可能通过中缝大核发挥镇痛和增强电针镇痛的作用。

Effects of cysteamine on pro-somatostatin related peptides

Intracerebroventricular (icv) injection of cysteamine to rats produced a marked depletion of somatostatin-14-like immunoreactivity (LI) in all rat brain regions examined. The somatostatin-28 (SS28)-LI and SS28(1-12)-LI were generally not altered by the cysteamine treatment. Following subcutaneous injection of the drug similar depletions of hypothalamic SS14-LI was observed with no change in SS28-LI nor SS28(1-12)-LI. In vitro cysteamine significantly increased the basal release of SS14-LI and markedly potentiated the evoked release of SS14-LI from hypothalamic slices. At 10 mM cysteamine, enhanced release of SS14-LI from hypothalamic slices was still observed despite a marked depletion of tissue content of SS14-LI.     

Effect of different managerial systems on productive and reproductive traits,blood plasma hormones and serum biochemical constituents of geese

A flock of 117, 10-month-old Egyptian geese consisting of 90 females and 27 males were utilized in this investigation. Birds were randomly divided into three equal groups, each made up of three replicates of 10 females and 3 males each. The first group was kept under a pasture system (PS) and allowed to swim in water ducts during the daytime (PS) and kept inside the house during the night. The second group of birds were kept in confinement in a house and fed ad libitum on a commercial feed (intensive system (IS)). Birds in the third group (semi-intensive system (SIS)) were released from the house for 6 h a day and given access to the pasture and water ducts. Each group was housed in three pens (replicates) in the SIS. They were given ad libitum access to the commercial feed when in the house. Each pen measured (2 × 3 m²). Natural mating was practiced during the period from November to the end of May. BW of geese under ISS was significantly (P ⩽ 0.05) higher than those under PS and SIS. Egg number, weight and mass of geese in the SIS system were significantly (P ⩽ 0.05) greater than those of geese in the PS and IS systems. Fertility and hatchability percentages were significantly (P ⩽ 0.05) greater in the PS (84.2% and 88.6%) than in the IS (77.5% and 82.8%) and SIS systems (80.7% and 85.5%). Shell weight and thickness were significantly (P ⩽ 0.05) better in the IS and SIS systems than in the PS system. Geese in the PS and SIS systems exhibited significantly higher plasma estradiol-17 and progesterone than those in the IS. Testosterone was significantly higher in IS than in the other systems. Semen quality factor was significantly higher in the PS and SIS systems than in the IS system. Carcass weight was significantly greater in IS and SIS geese than in PS geese, but the PS system resulted in a decreased percentage skin, abdominal fat and liver. Total amount of meat produced per geese was significantly greater in the SIS than in the IS system and greater in the IS than in the PS system.

Effects of therapeutic and toxic doses of levamisole on thyroid hormones and some biochemical parameters in sheep

This study was carried out to establish the effects of therapeutic and toxic doses of levamisole on thyroid hormone levels and some biochemical parameters in sheep. Twelve Akkaraman ewes were used. Levamisole was given orally at doses of 7.5 mg kg(-1) (group 1) and 40 mg kg(-1) (group 2) to the animals. Blood samples were taken from the jugular vein at 2, 4, 8, 24, 48, 96 and 144 h after the administrations. Serum thyroid hormones and some biochemical parameters were determined on these samples. When compared with the control levels, no significant changes were observed in triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxin (T4) levels in group 1. Although levamisole was found to increase the levels of total T3, it decreased the levels of total T4 in group 2. On the other hand, free T3 and free T4 levels were not changed in either group. While serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activities were decreased, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), alanine aminotransferase (ALT), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and creatinine kinase (CK) activities were increased significantly by levamisole. However, it increased the serum albumin and cholesterol levels, but decreased the inorganic phosphate levels in groups 1 and 2. On the other hand, when compared with the control levels, no significant changes were detected in serum sodium, potassium and calcium levels. In conclusion, therapeutic and toxic doses of levamisole were determined to affect thyroid metabolism and some biochemical parameters in sheep.     

Contribution of de novo protein synthesis to the hypertrophic effect of IGF-1 but not of thyroid hormones in adult ventricular cardiomyocytes

Background: Enhanced expression of IGF-1 occurs in left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) associated with systemic hypertension. Cardiac dysfunction accompanied by LVH is also observed in hyperthyroidism. Objective: to assess the relative contributions of de novo protein synthesis and attenuated protein degradation to increased protein mass associated with cardiomyocyte hypertrophy elicited by IGF-1 and thyroid hormones (tri-iodo thyronine T₃, and l-thyroxine T₄), respectively. Methods: total mass of protein, and both the incorporation, and removal of previously incorporated l-U-¹⁴C-phenylalanine, indices of protein synthesis and degradation, respectively, were assessed in quiescent adult rat ventricular cardiomyocytes maintained in short-term culture, and corrected for DNA content, as a index of cell number. Results: IGF-1 (1 pM-100 nM) increased cell protein significantly, maximally at 1 nM and by 38% above basal value after 24 h. T₃ (10 pM-2 M) and T₄ (10 pM-2 M) increased cell protein significantly maximally at 1 M and by 33.2 and 30.5%, respectively, above basal value. IGF-1 ( 10 pM), T₃ (10 pM-2 M) and T₄ (10 pM-2 M) did not increase incorporation of l-U-₁₄C-phenylalanine above basal values. IGF-1 (100 pM-100 nM) increased incorporation of radiolabel significantly maximally at 100 nM and by 56%. T₄ (100 pM) and IGF-1 (10 pM), concentrations that did not stimulate de novo protein synthesis, attenuated the degradation of radiolabelled protein by 13.6 and 11.8%, respectively, compared to control values after 48 h. Conclusion: These data indicate that the acute hypertrophic response to (i) thyroid hormones cannot be attributed to initiation of de novo protein synthesis; (ii) IGF-1 comprises two components; the response elicited by IGF-1 (< 10 pM) is independent of, while the response elicited by IGF-1 (> 100 pM) is due to de novo protein synthesis.     

The effect of mildronate and related substances on levels of thyroid hormones and some intermediates of lipid and carbohydrate metabolism in hyperthyroid and hypothyroid rats

The effects of mildronate [3(2,2,2-trimethylhydrazinium) propionate dihydrate], γ-butyrobetaine (GBB) and their combination (neomildronate) on the level of thyroid hormones and some intermediates of basal metabolism (free fatty acids, triglycerides, glucose) in serum of laboratory rats with various dysfunctions of thyroid glands including idiopathic hyperfunction and also hypofunction induced by administration of 6-propyl-2-thiouracil (PTU) or L-carnitine administration. Intraperitoneal injections of mildronate (150 mg/kg) during 20 days to male Wistar rats with elevated level of thyroid hormones and basal metabolism normalized thyroxin level and parameters of lipid metabolism in serum. Administration of the compounds studied to rats with hypothyroidism induced by administration of PTU or L-carnitine did not influence natural recovery of the hormonal level. Possible biochemical role of these pharmacological treatments is discussed in terms of in regulation of thyroid gland function.     

Reproductive and metabolic hormones during estrus after fasting in Holstein heifers

The estrous cycles of 23 Holstein heifers were synchronized with three prostaglandin F₂α (PG) injections at 0600 h 11 d apart, designated as Days ?11, 0 and 11. Twelve of the animals were randomly assigned to receive no solid food (Group F) from Day 6 to 14, while the other animals remained on full feed to serve as controls (Group C). Jugular blood samples were collected at 6-h intervals beginning with PG injection at 0600 h on Day 0 until 1800 h on Day 4 and at 0600, 1200 and 1700 h on Day 8 through 10. Samples were collected again at 6-h intervals from PG Day 11 (0600 h) until 1800 h on Day 15. Period 1 was defined as those samples collected from Day 0 through 4.5, Period 2 from Day 7 through 10, Period 3 from Day 11 through 14.25, and Period 4 from Day 14.5 through 15. Plasma growth hormone concentrations were increased (P<0.01) in F as compared with C animals during Periods 2, 3 and 4. Plasma concentrations of prolactin (P<0.01) were decreased in F as compared with C animals during Periods 2 and 3. Plasma urea concentrations were increased (P<0.01) in F as compared with C animals during the first 3 d of the fast (Period 2) but were decreased (P<0.01) during the remainder of the experiment (Periods 3 and 4). Thus, fasting was effective in altering several metabolic parameters. Although plasma progesterone and luteinizing hormone (LH) concentrations remained similar (P>0.05) between F and C animals, plasma estradiol-17β concentrations decreased in F as compared with C animals during Periods 2, 3 and 4. No differences (P>0.05) between F and C animals were found in duration to LH peak after PG injection, estrous behavior, or pregnancy rates. Results from this study indicate that fasting reduced plasma estradiol-17β concentrations during estrus but did not alter occurrence of estrus or pregnancy rate.     

Regulatory effect of various steroid hormones on the incorporation and metabolism of [14C]stearate in rat hepatoma cells in culture

We have examined the incorporation and metabolism of [¹⁴C] stearic acid within the total lipids of HTC rat-hepatoma cells in suspension culture in presence and in absence of steroidal hormone stimulation. Both, glucocorticoids (dexamethasone, cortisol and corticosterone) and mineralocorticoids (deoxycorticosterone and aldosterone) as well as the estrogen -estradiol and the androgen testosterone enhanced the extent of 9 desaturation to oleic acid of the saturated precursors, whereas only the two mineralocorticoids affected the incorporation rate of the exogenous acid into total cellular lipids, thus promoting a little stimulation. Furthermore, all the hormones tested increased the radiolabelling of the total cellular phospholipids except deoxycorticosterone and testosterone, the former having no effect and the latter exerting a moderate inhibition. On the other hand, the incorporation of¹⁴C into neutral lipids was stimulated by testosterone, in contrast to the inhibition of this parameter observed exclusively with either the mineralocorticoids or the estrogen. Within the phospholipid subclasses, the radiolabelling of phosphatidylcholine was augmented by means of all the steroids tested save deoxycorticosterone and testosterone, whereas phosphatidylethanolamine exhibited a decrease only in the presence of testosterone. In a similar fashion, within the neutral lipids, the predominating triglyceride fraction was preferentially labelled—at the expense of other subclasses of lesser abundance—upon treatment with the steroids except aldosterone, which exerted no effect. The results obtained were correlated with those changes observed in the mass distribution of the different lipid subclasses either with or without prior hormonal stimulation.Abbreviations ALD aldosterone - ANOVAR analyses of variance - CE cholesterol esters - Cl cortisol - CLN cardiolipin - Cst corticosterone - CH cholesterol - DG diacylglycerides - DOC 11-deoxycorticosterone - Dx dexamethasone phosphate salt - ßE 17--estradiol - FAME fatty acid methyl esters - GLC gas-lipid chromatography - HEPES N-2-hydroxyethyl-piperazine-N-2-ethanosulfonic acid - HTC hepatoma tissue culture - IMEM-Zo improved minimal essential medium-Zinc option - LPC lysophosphatidyl-choline - LPL lysophospholipids - MG monoacylglycerides - NEFA free fatty acids - PC phosphatidyl-choline - PE phosphatidyl-ethanolamine - PG phosphatidyl-glycerol - PI phosphadyl-inositol - PS phosphadidyl-serine - SM sphingomyelin - TG triacylglycerides - TLC thin-layer chromatography - Tst testosterone Members of the Carrera del Investigador Cientifico, CONICET, Argentina.     

Diurnal rhythms of plasma growth hormone,somatostatin, thyroid hormones,cortisol and glucose concentrations in rainbow trout,Oncorhynchus mykiss,during progressive food deprivation

Abstract

The diurnal patterns of changes in plasma cortisol, growth hormone (GH), somatostatin‐14 (SRIF), thyroid hormones (L‐thyroxine, T₄ and triiodo‐L‐thyronine, T₃) and glucose were investigated in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss, both during single meal‐feeding and during a progressive fast of 13 weeks. All measured variables exhibited a diurnal pattern in fed rainbow trout, most of which appeared to be correlated with the time of feeding (30–60 min after the onset of light), while additional changes, associated with the scotophase were also found for cortisol. Although fasting had no affect on mean daily plasma cortisol or SRIF concentrations, there was a progressive increase in mean daily plasma GH concentrations and a progressive decrease in mean daily plasma thyroid hormone and glucose concentrations associated with fasting. However, for GH, significant changes were not evident until week 10 of the fast. In addition, fasting appeared to phase‐shift the diurnal patterns of plasma GH, cortisol and glucose concentrations; the consequence of such a shift is that conclusions as to the effects of fasting, if based on a single time of sampling, may be flawed.
