In utero exposure to di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP; 1000 mg/kg body weight) significantly decreased activities of testicular sorbitol dehydrogenase and acid phosphatase and increased gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase, lactate dehydrogenase and beta-glucuronidase activities at early ages. A decrease in the sperm count of the epididymal spermatozoa was also observed in the sexually matured animals of DEHP exposed group. The data suggest that in utero exposure to DEHP may affect the normal development of testes. 相似文献

The electrochemical oxidation of Ru(Me2dtc)3 (where Me2dtc=N,N-dimethyldithiocarbamate) in acetone or methylene chloride solution is a one- electron process followed by a dimerisation. This is concluded from cyclic voltammetric experiments at different scan rates, concentrations and temperatures with the use of Savéant's diagnostic criteria. NMR spectra taken at different temperatures confirm this conclusion. This behaviour is in contrast with that in coordinating solvents like acetonitrile where the one-electron oxidation is followed by addition of a solvent molecule to the coordination sphere, yielding Ru(Me2dtc)3(CH3CN). 相似文献

The accumulation of mRNA encoding for hepatic and intestinal T3-receptor (TR) and body and liver masses were measured in fed and 3-week fasted juvenile and swim up stage rainbow trout embryos. Plasma and total body thyroid hormone (TH) levels were measured for juvenile and swim up stages, respectively. Fasted juveniles exhibited a lower hepatosomatic index (HSI), liver mass and plasma T4 and T3 concentrations than fed animals, but there were no changes in body mass or the accumulation of mRNA encoding for either of the TR(alpha) or TR(beta) isoforms in liver or intestine. TR(beta) mRNA accumulation was greater than TR(alpha) mRNA accumulation in both tissues. Fasted embryos had lower whole body TH levels and body, liver and intestinal tract masses, in addition to a lower intestinosomatic index. However, there was no change in HSI. Fasting did not affect whole body or hepatic TR(alpha) and TR(beta) mRNA accumulation, although intestinal tract TR(alpha) and TR(beta) mRNA accumulation was lower in the fasted embryos. The HSI and body mass changes in fasted juvenile and embryo stages, respectively, indicated that both developmental stages were impacted by fasting. Both stages also showed evidence of decreased TH production. The lower TR gene expression in the intestinal tract of fasted embryos may suggest a role for THs in the transitional stage of intestinal development during this period of development. 相似文献

A polar lipid accounting for 12.5% of the total lipid nitrogen has been isolated from the protozoan Acanthamoeba castellanii. On the basis of thin-layer chromatography and mass spectral analysis, the lipid has been identified as diacylglyceryltrimethylhomoserine (DGTS). Fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectra of DGTS are reported for the first time and are compared to the FAB mass spectra of phosphatidylcholines and the electron ionization (EI) and field desorption (FD) mass spectra of DGTS. Gas-liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric (GLC-MS) analysis of the acyl chain composition of this lipid has shown that 87.5% consists of cis-9-octadecenoic acid. Plasma membrane isolated from this organism has shown that labeled DGTS appears in the plasma membrane but is not enriched in this fraction. DGTS has been isolated previously only from a limited number of green plants and one species of fungus. Identification of this lipid in Acanthamoeba indicates that this lipid is distributed among a diverse group of lower eucaryotes. 相似文献

High kinetic stability is an important requirement for the Gd(3+) complexes used as contrast enhancement agents in magnetic resonance imaging. The kinetic stabilities of the Gd(3+) complexes formed with DTPA-N-mono(methylamide) (L(3)), DTPA-N'-mono(methylamide) (L(2)) and DTPA-bis(methylamide) (L(1)) are characterized by the rates of the exchange reactions with Eu(3+) and the endogenous Cu(2+) and Zn(2+). The exchange reactions occur via the proton-assisted dissociation of the complexes and direct attack of the exchanging metal ions on the complex. On the basis of the line-shape analysis of the 1H NMR spectra of the LaL(2), obtained in the pH range 2.5-3.5, we assume that for the proton-assisted dissociation of the complexes the formation of an intermediate containing a free iminodiacetate group must be followed with the rupture of the metal-central nitrogen bond. At about pH > or = 5, the reactions between GdL(2) or GdL(3) and Cu(2+) or Zn(2+) proceed predominantly by direct reaction of the reactants, through the formation of dinuclear intermediates. The contribution of the proton-assisted dissociation is highly important for GdL(1), but its reaction with Zn(2+) is significantly slower than the reactions of GdL(2) and GdL(3). The overall rates of dissociation of GdL(1), GdL(2), GdL(3) and Gd(DTPA)(2-) through H(+) (pH 7.4), Cu(2+) (1 x 10(-6) M) and Zn(2+) (1 x 10(-5) M)-assisted reactions are surprisingly very similar. Replacement of one or two carboxylates with amide groups results in significantly decreased stability constants, but has practically no effect on the kinetic stability of the Gd(3+) complexes, indicating the lower reactivity of the amide groups with Cu(2+) and Zn(2+). 相似文献

Resting and action potentials were recorded from superfused strips of frog ventricle. Reducing the bathing calcium concentration ([Ca2+]0) with or without ethylene glycol-bis(beta-aminoethyl ether)N,N,N',N'-tetraacetate (EGTA) prolongs the action potential (AP). The change in the duration of the AP extends over many minutes, but is rapidly reversed by restoring calcium ions. Other changes (e.g., in resting potential and overshoot) are, however, only more slowly reversed. Reducing [Ca2+]0 with 0.2, 2, or 5 mM EGTA produces progressively greater prolongation of AP; maximum values were well in excess of 1 min. This prolongation can be reversed by other divalent cations in EGTA (Mg2+, Sr2+) or Ca-free (Mn2+) solutions, or by acetylcholine. Barium ions increase AP duration in keeping with their known effect on potassium conductance. D600, which blocks the slow inward current in cardiac muscle, is without effect on the action potentials recorded in EGTA solutions, or on the time course and extent of the recovery to normal duration upon restoring calcium ions. It is concluded that divalent cations exert an influence on membrane potassium conductance extracellularly in frog heart. The cell membrane does not become excessively "leaky" in EGTA solutions. 相似文献

Exposure of DNA to oxidative stress produces a variety of DNA lesions including the formamidopyrimidines, which are derived from the purines. These lesions may play important roles in carcinogenesis. We achieved the first chemical syntheses of a monomeric form of Fapy-dA (1) and oligonucleotides containing this lesion or Fapy-dG at a defined site. Monomeric Fapy-dA readily epimerized at 25 degrees C in phosphate buffer (pH 7.5). The beta-anomer was favored by a ratio of 1.33:1.0, and equilibration was achieved in less than 7 h. Deglycosylation of Fapy-dA in the monomer follows first-order kinetics from 37 to 90 degrees C. The rate constants for deglycosylation of Fapy-dA in the monomeric and oligonucleotide substrates were measured at a common temperature (55 degrees C) and found to be the same within experimental error (t(1/2) = 20.5 h). Implementation of the activation parameters measured for the deglycosylation of 1 indicates that the half-life for deglycosylation of Fapy-dA at 37 degrees C is approximately 103 h. Analysis of the rate constant for deglycosylation of Fapy-dG in an oligonucleotide, revealed that this lesion is approximately 25 times more resistant to hydrolysis than Fapy-dA at 55 degrees C. These results indicate that Fapy-dA and Fapy-dG will be sufficiently long-lived in DNA so as to warrant investigation of their genotoxicity, and both anomers will be present during this time. 相似文献

The dimethylated ribosomal nucleoside m(4)Cm and its monomethylated analogues Cm and m(4)C were synthesized. The conformations (syn vs anti) of the three modified nucleosides and cytidine were determined by CD and 1D NOE difference spectroscopy. The ribose sugar puckers were determined by the use of proton coupling constants. The position of modification (e.g., O vs N methylation) was found to have an effect on the sugar pucker of cytidine. 相似文献

The effects of tripeptide corticoliberin fragment CRF4-6 (Pro-Pro-Ile) on heart rate and behaviour of rats with simultaneous monitoring of these parameters in free-moving animals in their home cage were investigated. Intracerebroventriculary administered CRF4-6 (6, 30, 150 nmol) induces arousal effect increasing the duration of active behaviour, decreasing the duration of passive behaviour and sleep both. At the same time the tripeptide increases the heart rate during sleep, passive and exploratory activity. CRF4-6 (30, 150 nmol) also increases the heart rate in anaesthetised rats. All observed effects of the tripeptide are dose dependent. Taking into account these facts we suggest that CRF4-6 influences behaviour and heart activities independently. 相似文献

In the cardiovascular system, activation of ionotropic (P2X receptors) and metabotropic (P2Y receptors) P2 nucleotide receptors exerts potent and various responses including vasodilation, vasoconstriction, and vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation. Here we examined the involvement of the small GTPase RhoA in P2Y receptor-mediated effects in vascular myocytes. Stimulation of cultured aortic myocytes with P2Y receptor agonists induced an increase in the amount of membrane-bound RhoA and stimulated actin cytoskeleton organization. P2Y receptor agonist-induced actin stress fiber formation was inhibited by C3 exoenzyme and the Rho kinase inhibitor Y-27632. Stimulation of actin cytoskeleton organization by extracellular nucleotides was also abolished in aortic myocytes expressing a dominant negative form of RhoA. Extracellular nucleotides induced contraction and Y-27632-sensitive Ca(2+) sensitization in aortic rings. Transfection of Swiss 3T3 cells with P2Y receptors showed that Rho kinase-dependent actin stress fiber organization was induced in cells expressing P2Y(1), P2Y(2), P2Y(4), or P2Y(6) receptor subtypes. Our data demonstrate that P2Y(1), P2Y(2), P2Y(4), and P2Y(6) receptor subtypes are coupled to activation of RhoA and subsequently to Rho-dependent signaling pathways. 相似文献
