The study is carried out on the one-, 3-, 5-, 7, and l0-day old free moving or loosely fixed rat pups (P1–10). In satiated and submitted to the 24-h starvation rat pups, parameters of spontaneous periodical motor activity (SPMA) and the blood glucose content were determined. The total glucose level in hungry rat pups was, on average, 1.5–2.5 times lower than in satiated animals. Administration of glucose to hungry rat pups increased 6–11 times its concentration in blood as compared with the animals not obtaining glucose. The glucose administration to the satiated rat pups led to a rise of its level in blood from 2 to 5 times as compared with intact animals, which was 2–3 times less than in the case of hungry animals. Analysis of pattern of motor activity recorded under conditions of the glucose deficit caused by the 24-h starvation of rat pups did not reveal significant changes of ratio of rhythmical components. Introduction of glucose to hungry and to the lesser degree to satiated rat pups led to potentiation of the minute rhythm of activity in all age groups. The exception was the first day after birth when the glucose administration to satiated rat pups promoted an enhancement of the decasecond rhythm and a decrease of the total level of motor activity. Comparison of ontogenetic dynamics of the SPMA parameters and the glucose content in blood of hungry rat pups revealed the clearly expressed regularity absent in the satiated animals: the glucose level in blood was higher during activity than in the state of rest. The performed study has shown that intensity, duration, and, to a degree, pattern of SPMA in the newborn rat pups depend on the level of satiety, and can be significantly changed in the artificially produced hypo- or hyperglycemia. The existing ontogenetic fluctuations in the character of reaction at performance of the glucose tolerance test can be connected both with morphofunctional maturation of the motor system and with immaturity of various chains of carbohydrate metabolism. 相似文献

In the 5–10-day old rat pups, in the course of simultaneous recording of ECG, respiration rate (RR), and spontaneous periodic motor activity (SPMA) there were determined parameters of the studied processes and their correlations at changes of levels of activity of adrenergic structures. As adrenoactive agents, the sympathomimetic amphetamine, - and -adrenolytics phentolamine and propranolol, as well as the dopamine receptor blocker haloperidol were used. It has been established that injection of amphetamine significantly increases intensity of the decasecond rhythm in the activity pattern of excitable structures. However, the action both on the - and -adrenoreceptors and on dopamine receptors produces no significant changes of this rhythm parameters. Based on this, it can be suggested that an increase of the decasecond rhythm is due to the ability of amphetamine to inhibit the pentose phosphate cycle activity. Administration of adrenolytics decreases RR and heart rate (HR). Amphetamine restores them by a simultaneous increase of pathological disturbances of the respiration rhythm, which appear at injections of sympatholytics. Blockade of dopamine receptors leads to replacement of motor activity fires by jerks following in the rhythm close to the previous one. As a rule, at the blockade of -adrenoreceptors the SPMA pattern is deprived of obvious rhythmic components, whereas at the blockade of -adrenoreceptors, they are preserved. Analysis of the obtained data indicates that the respiration frequency modulation that increases at action on adrenoreactive structures correlates with the motor activity changes. However, there are several peculiarities due to action on various types of adrenoreceptors. Of the leading significance in the normal intersystem interaction is preservation of balance between individual adrenergic structures. 相似文献

In wakeful rats at the age from newborn to 3 weeks there were studied interrelations of rhythmical oscillations of heart rate,
respiration rate, and periodic spontaneous motor activity. In all studied systems, these oscillations are coordinated and
occur in several frequency diapasons. Frequencies in the near-minute diapason (the period from 30 to 90 s) are the most constant
and do not change with age. Regular oscillations are the most stable in newborns. Bursts of motor activity usually are irregular,
but episodically the distinct near-minute rhythm is traced. Studies of the character of interaction of the heart activity,
respiration, and periodic somatomotor excitation allow stating that the main coordination pathway of spontaneous autorhythmic
functions in early postnatal ontogenesis is formation of secondary rhythms. Possible ways of formation of the secondary rhythms
are considered. 相似文献

- 1.1. The adrenal cortex is necessary for survival of echidnas at low ambient temperatures. In this study, adrenal gland activity was investigated in echidnas exposed to 2 days of cold (14°C) and fasting, alternating with 2 days at room temperature and feeding ad lib.
- 2.2. In the cold. 2.75 ± 0.29% (SD) of the initial body weight was lost daily. Plasma amino acid concentration did not change while glucose concentration decreased from 2.6 ± 0.3 to 1.5 ± 0.3 mmol/l with consecutive sessions of cold.
- 3.Plasma concentrations of corticosterone (7.2 ± 1.4 nmol/l) and cortisol (4.4 ± 1.9 nmol/l) were unchanged by repeated cold exposure. However, the adrenal response to ACTH stimulation decreased and the clearance of corticosteroids increased after cold exposure.
- 4.It was concluded that exposure to cold increases the utilization of glucocorticoids and decreases the capacity for their biosynthesis.

The purpose of the following research was to improve the original Celsior solution in order to obtain a higher degree of stability
and effectiveness. The solution was modified by the addition of selected antioxidants such as vitamin C, cysteine, and fumaric
acid in the following concentrations: 0.1, 0.3, and 0.5 mmol/l. The solution’s stability was estimated using an accelerated
stability test based on changes in histidine concentrations in the solution using Pauly’s method for determining concentrations.
Elevated temperatures, the factor accelerating substances’ decomposition reaction rate, were used in the tests. The research
was conducted at four temperatures at intervals of 10°C: 60 ± 0.2°C, 70 ± 0.2°C, 80 ± 0.2°C, and 90 ± 0.2°C. It was stated
that the studied substances’ decomposition occurred in accordance with the equation for first-order reactions. The function
of the logarithmic concentration (log%C) over time was revealed to be rectilinear. This dependence was used to determine the kinetics of decomposition reaction rate
parameters (the rate constant of decomposition k, activation energy E
a, and frequency factor A). On the basis of these parameters, the stability of the modified solution was estimated at +5°C. The results obtained show
that the proposed antioxidants have a significant effect on lengthening the Celsior solution’s stability. The best results
were reached when combining two antioxidants: vitamin C and cysteine in 0.5 mmol/l concentrations. As a result, the Celsior
solution’s stability was lengthened from 22 to 299 days, which is 13.5 times. Vitamin C at a concentration of 0.5 mmol/l increased
the solution’s stability by 5.2 times (t
90 = 115 days), cysteine at a concentration of 0.5 mmol/l caused a 4.4 times stability increase (t
90 = 96 days), and fumaric acid at a concentration of 0.5 mmol/l extended the stability by 2.1 times (t
90 = 48 days) in relation to the original solution. 相似文献

On newborn rat pups, for the first day after birth, there was studied the character of mutual influences between the slow-wave rhythmical components of the cardiac, respiratory, and motor activities reflecting interactions between the main functional systems of the developing organism. The study was carried out in norm and after pharmacological depression of the spontaneous periodical motor activity (SPMA) performed by narcotization of rat pups with urethane at low (0.5 g/kg, i/p) and maximal (1 g/kg, i/p) doses. Based on the complex of our obtained data, it is possible to conclude that after birth in rat pups the inter-systemic interactions are realized mainly by the slow-wave oscillations of the near- and manyminute diapason. The correlational interactions mediated by rhythms of the decasecond diapason do not play essential role in integrative processes. Injection to the animals of urethane producing selective suppression of reaction of consciousness, but not affecting activating influences of reticular formation on cerebral cortex does not cause marked changes of autonomous parameters, but modulates structure and expression of spontaneous periodical motor activity. There occurs an essential decrease of mutual influences between motor and cardiovascular systems. In the case of preservation of motor activity bursts, a tendency for enhancement of correlational relations between the modulating rhythms of motor and somatomotor systems is observed. The cardiorespiratory interactions, more pronounced in intact rat pups in the near- and manyminute modulation diapason, under conditions of urethane, somewhat decrease, whereas the rhythmical components of the decasecond diapason—are weakly enhanced. 相似文献

To examine the development of respiratory motor activity early in mammalian development and its relationship to nonrespiratory activity, we recorded spontaneous electromyogram activity from chronically instrumented fetal lambs over the period from 45 to 65 days' gestation (G45 to G65, term = G147). Two distinct forms of motor behavior were observed at G45 in recordings made from the costal diaphragm and longissimus dorsi muscles. The predominant behavior consisted of cycles of sustained, coincident activity in the two muscles alternating with periods of inactivity. The incidence of this type of activity declined between G45 and G65 and the cyclic nature of the discharges disappeared in most animals. The second form of motor behavior at G45 consisted of episodes of repetitive bursting activity lasting up to 20 min that were confined to the diaphragm. These bursts had a duration of 97.5 ± 8.3 ms (mean ± S.E.M.) and frequently occurred as doublets in which two bursts were separated by an intervening period of 100–200 ms. The mean duration of these bursts declined to 69.7 ± 7.7 ms at G65, doublets became rare, and bursts evolved a stereotyped form by G65 that was characterized by an abrupt onset and rapid decline in discharge intensity. Repetitive bursts of this form evolve into the mature respiratory motor pattern over the second half of gestation. At G45, episodes of repetitive bursting were almost always linked with episodes of sustained discharge, while at G65 these two forms of behavior were always segregated. We conclude that the neurons responsible for generating the respiratory rhythm in the lamb are assembled into a functional rhythm generator and make appropriate connections to motor output pathways as early as G45. The generation of the respiratory rhythm at G45 appears to be triggered by episodes of widespread motor activity that occur in both respiratory and nonrespiratory muscles. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to examine the metabolic response to feed deprivation up to 48 h in low and high yielding lamb genotypes. It was hypothesised that Terminal sired lambs would have decreased plasma glucose and increased plasma non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and β-hydroxybutyrate (BHOB) concentrations in response to feed deprivation compared to Merino sired lambs. In addition, it was hypothesised that the metabolic changes due to feed deprivation would also be greater in progeny of sires with breeding values for greater growth, muscling and leanness. Eighty nine lambs (45 ewes, 44 wethers) from Merino dams with Merino or Terminal sires with a range in Australian Sheep Breeding Values (ASBVs) for post-weaning weight (PWT), post-weaning eye muscle depth and post-weaning fat depth (PFAT) were used in this experiment. Blood samples were collected via jugular cannulas every 6 h from time 0 to 48 h of feed deprivation for the determination of plasma glucose, NEFA, BHOB and lactate concentration. From 12 to 48 h of feed deprivation plasma glucose concentration decreased (P < 0.05) by 25% from 4.04 ± 0.032 mmol/l to 3.04 ± 0.032 mmol/l. From 6 h NEFA concentration increased (P < 0.05) from 0.15 ± 0.021 mmol/l by almost 10-fold to 1.34 ± 0.021 mmol/l at 48 h of feed deprivation. Feed deprivation also influenced BHOB concentrations and from 12 to 48 h it increased (P < 0.05) from 0.15 ± 0.010 mmol/l to 0.52 ± 0.010 mmol/l. Merino sired lambs had a 8% greater reduction in glucose and 29% and 10% higher NEFA and BHOB response, respectively, compared to Terminal sired lambs (P < 0.05). In Merino sired lambs, increasing PWT was also associated with an increase in glucose and decline in NEFA and BHOB concentration (P < 0.05). In Terminal sired lambs, increasing PFAT was associated with an increase in glucose and decline in NEFA concentration (P < 0.05). Contrary to the hypothesis, Merino sired lambs showed the greatest metabolic response to fasting especially in regards to fat metabolism. 相似文献

Insulin demand varies with meal intake and physical activity. In this study the feasibility of using two implants to meet varying insulin demands was tested in rabbits with alloxan-induced diabetes. One group of severely diabetic rabbits was maintained on a basal dose released by a 50-mg implant made of a compressed admixture of 15% insulin in palmitic acid. The other group of mildly diabetic rabbits required no basal dose implant, but displayed a transient hyperglycaemia as well upon challenge. The supplemental dose was provided by another silicone implant with reservoirs containing 6 mg of compressed insulin. Serous fluid entered the 100μ l internal volume of the silicone implant slowly through an orifice, and dissolved some of the solid insulin. When required, sideways compression of this second implant over the abdominal skin fold of the rabbit delivered the supplemental dose. Typically, a severely diabetic rabbit on a basal dose implant exhibited a transient hyperglycaemia after drinking sweetened water, which raised the blood glucose from 5.4 ± 1.3 mmol l−1 to 14.0 ± 0.5 mmol l−1 for 3 to 4.5 h. In the three test runs, the supplemental bolus of insulin from the silicone implant interrupted the expected rise in blood glucose at 6.1 ± 2.2 mmol l−1 within 1 to 2 h, which then decreased to 3.0 ± 0.2 mmol l−1 for 4 to 5 h before returning to the basal level. A mildly diabetic rabbit showed a blood glucose level of 10.5 ± 1.9 mmol l−1 without the basal dose implant. Its expected transient hyperglycaemia rise to 13.1 ± 0.3 mmol l−1 could also be prevented by the supplemental insulin dose from the silicone implant, and kept at 2.5 ± 0.3 mmol l−1 for 1 to 1.5 h, before returning to the mildly diabetic level in 8 to 9 h. The results demonstrated the feasibility of using an erodible implant to provide a basal insulin dose which could be supplemented by a second implant for better control of transient hyperglycaemia episodes. 相似文献

Efficient conversion of hexose and pentose (glucose and xylose) by a single strain is a very important factor for the production
of industrially important metabolites using lignocellulose as the substrate. The kinetics of growth and polyol production
by Debaryomyces nepalensis NCYC 3413 was studied under single and mixed substrate conditions. In the presence of glucose, the strain produced ethanol
(35.8 ± 2.3 g/l), glycerol (9.0 ± 0.2 g/l), and arabitol (6.3 ± 0.2 g/l). In the presence of xylose, the strain produced xylitol
(38 ± 1.8 g/l) and glycerol (18 ± 1.0 g/l) as major metabolites. Diauxic growth was observed when the strain was grown with
different combinations of glucose/xylose, and glucose was the preferred substrate. The presence of glucose enhanced the conversion
of xylose to xylitol. By feeding a mixture of glucose at 100 g/l and xylose at 100 g/l, it was found that the strain produced
a maximum of 72 ± 3 g/l of xylitol. A study of important enzymes involved in the synthesis of xylitol (xylose reductase (XR)
and xylitol dehydrogenase (XDH)), glycerol (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (G3PDH)) and ethanol (alcohol dehydrogenase
(ADH)) in cells grown in the presence of glucose and xylose revealed high specific activity of G3PDH and ADH in cells grown
in the presence of glucose, whereas high specific activity of XR, XDH, and G3PDH was observed in cells grown in the presence
of xylose. To our knowledge, this is the first study to elaborate the glucose and xylose metabolic pathway in this yeast strain. 相似文献

The circadian rhythm of core body temperature is associated with widespread physiological effects. However, studies with other more practical temperature measures, such as wrist (WT) and proximal temperatures, are still scarce. The aim of this study was to investigate whether obesity is associated with differences in mean WT values or in its daily rhythmicity patterns. Daily patterns of cortisol, melatonin, and different metabolic syndrome (MetS) features were also analyzed in an attempt to clarify the potential association between chronodisruption and MetS. The study was conducted on 20 normal-weight women (age: 38?±?11 yrs and BMI: 22?±?2.6?kg/m2) and 50 obese women (age: 42?±?10 yrs and BMI: 33.5?±?3.2?kg/m2) (mean?±?SEM). Skin temperature was measured over a 3-day period every 10?min with the “Thermochron iButton.” Rhythmic parameters were obtained using an integrated package for time-series analysis, “Circadianware.” Obese women displayed significantly lower mean WT (34.1°C?±?0.3°C) with a more flattened 24-h pattern, a lower-quality rhythm, and a higher intraday variability (IV). Particularly interesting were the marked differences between obese and normal-weight women in the secondary WT peak in the postprandial period (second-harmonic power [P2]), considered as a marker of chronodisruption and of metabolic alterations. WT rhythmicity characteristics were related to MetS features, obesity-related proteins, and circadian markers, such as melatonin. In summary, obese women displayed a lower-quality WT daily rhythm with a more flattened pattern (particularly in the postprandial period) and increased IV, which suggests a greater fragmentation of the rest/activity rhythm compared to normal-weight women. These 24-h changes were associated with higher MetS risk. (Author correspondence: garaulet@um. es) 相似文献

Pulsatile luteinizing-hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) secretion was measured from the mediobasal-suprachiasmatic-preoptic (MBH-SCN-POA) region of the hypothalamus from fetal baboons (Papio anubis) at midgestation (day 100; term = day 184). The entire MBH-SCN-POA (48 ± 5 mg) was obtained between 1100 and 1200 hours and was immediately placed in icecold phosphate buffer (pH 7.4). The MBH-SCN-POA units were halved at the midline and superfused in parallel at 37.5°C for 5 hours. Then 500 μl of superfusate was collected at 10-minute intervals, and LHRH concentration was measured by radioimmunoassay using the Chen-Ramirez antibody. In fetuses of untreated baboons (N = 3), LHRH pulse amplitude (mean ± SE) was 16.0 ± 4.2 pg, with a period of 30 ± 1 minute; the average 10-minute output of LHRH was 9.4 ± 2.0 pg. In fetal baboons in which the hormonal milieu in the mother was modulated by androstenedione treatment of midpregnancy (N = 3), average LHRH pulse amplitude was 1.7 ± 0.3 pg, with a period of 33.5 ± 4.9 minutes; the average 10-minute output of LHRH was 1.2 ± 0.2 pg. Collectively, these data suggest that as early as midgestation, fetal baboons secrete LHRH in vitro in a pulsatile fashion and with a periodicity of 30–35 minutes. In addition, the decrease in LHRH pulse amplitude and the average 10-minute LHRH output (P < .01, P < .05) in tissue from fetal baboons of mothers in which the normal pattern of steroidogenesis is altered suggest that the output of LHRH systems in the fetus is sensitive to changes in the maternal hormonal milieu. 相似文献

Impaired insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes is characterized by decreased first-phase insulin secretion, an increased proinsulin-to-insulin molar ratio in plasma, abnormal pulsatile insulin release, and heightened disorderliness of insulin concentration profiles. In the present study, we tested the hypothesis that these abnormalities are at least partly reversed by a period of overnight suspension of beta-cell secretory activity achieved by somatostatin infusion. Eleven patients with type 2 diabetes were studied twice after a randomly ordered overnight infusion of either somatostatin or saline with the plasma glucose concentration clamped at approximately 8 mmol/l. Controls were studied twice after overnight saline infusions and then at a plasma glucose concentration of either 4 or 8 mmol/l. We report that in patients with type 2 diabetes, 1) as in nondiabetic humans, insulin is secreted in discrete insulin secretory bursts; 2) the frequency of pulsatile insulin secretion is normal; 3) the insulin pulse mass is diminished, leading to decreased insulin secretion, but this defect can be overcome acutely by beta-cell rest with somatostatin; 4) the reported loss of orderliness of insulin secretion, attenuated first-phase insulin secretion, and elevated proinsulin-to-insulin molar ratio also respond favorably to overnight inhibition by somatostatin. The results of these clinical experiments suggest the conclusion that multiple parameters of abnormal insulin secretion in patients with type 2 diabetes mechanistically reflect cellular depletion of immediately secretable insulin that can be overcome by beta-cell rest. 相似文献

The circadian activity rhythm of the common marmoset, Callithrix j. jacchus was investigated by long-term recording of the locomotor activity of 15 individuals (5 males, 10 females) from 1.5 to 8 years old, both under constant illumination and under LD 12:12. The mean period of the spontaneous circadian rhythm was 23.2 ± 0.3 h. Neither sex-specific differences nor a systematic influence of light intensity on the spontaneous period were observed, but the period was dependent on the duration of the trial and on the age of the individual. Due to the short spontaneous period, in LD 12:12 there was a distinct advance of the activity phase with respect to the light time and a masking of the true onset of activity by the inhibitory direct effect of low light intensity during the dark time. After an 8 h delay shift of the LD 12:12, re-entrainment of the circadian activity rhythm required an average of 6.8 ± 0.7 days; the average re-entrainment time after an 8 h phase advance of the LD cycle was 8.6 ± 1.3 day. This directional effect is ascribed to characteristics of the phase-response curve. No ultradian components were observed, either in the LD-entrained or the free-running circadian activity rhythm. 相似文献

Objective: Low-flow ischemia results in glucose transporter translocation and in increased glucose uptake. After total ischemia in
rat heart, we found no increase in glucose uptake. Here we test the hypothesis that total ischemia is associated with decreased
activation of GLUT4 despite translocation. Methods: Isolated working hearts (n=70, Sprague–Dawley rats) were perfused for 70 min at physiological workload with Krebs–Henseleit buffer containing [2-3H]glucose (5 mmol/l, 0.05 μCi/ml) with either oleate (0.4 mmol/l, 1%BSA) or pyruvate (5 mmol/l, 1%BSA). After 20 min, hearts
were subjected to 15 min of total ischemia followed by 35 min of reperfusion. We measured glucose uptake and intracellular
free glucose (IFG) using [2-3H]glucose and [14C]sucrose, and determined the distribution of GLUT4 by colocalization immunofluorescence with Na–K ATP-ase. Results: Cardiac power was 10.1 ± 0.90 mW before ischemia and did not differ between groups. Recovery was the same in both groups
(55.7 ± 24.8$%). Glucose uptake did not differ between groups before ischemia, and did not increase during reperfusion. Despite
evidence of GLUT4 translocation after reperfusion in both groups, IFG did not increase compared with before ischemia. Conclusion: We conclude that there is a discrepancy between glucose transporter availability and glucose uptake after ischemia, which
may be due to inhibition of GLUT4 in the plasma membrane. (Mol Cell Biochem 278: 129–137, 2005) 相似文献

Two different high-cell-density cultivation processes based on the mutant Saccharomyces cerevisiae GE-2 for simultaneous production of glutathione and ergosterol were investigated. Compared with keeping the ethanol volumetric
concentration at a constant low level, feedback control of glucose feeding rate (F) by keeping the descending rate of ethanol volumetric concentration (ΔE/Δt) between −0.1% and 0.15% per hour was much more efficient to achieve a high glutathione and ergosterol productivity. This
bioprocess overcomes some disadvantages of traditional S. cerevisiae-based cultivation process, especially shortening cultivation period and making the cultivation process steady-going. A classical
on or off controller was used to manipulate F to maintain ΔE/Δt at its set point. The dry cell weight, glutathione yield and ergosterol yield reached 110.0 ± 2.6 g/l, 2,280 ± 76 mg/l, and
1,510 ± 28 mg/l in 32 h, respectively. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES--To identify patients with discrepantly high clinic blood glucose concentrations compared with self reported values and to assess whether such patients have errors in self monitoring technique. To determine whether, in patients with good technique, the discrepancy is a transient phenomenon related to clinic attendance. DESIGN--Prospective study of diabetes clinic patients recruited over six months. SETTING--Outpatient diabetes clinic of a teaching hospital. SUBJECTS--34 consecutive patients with non-insulin dependent diabetes who had had at least two consecutive clinic blood glucose concentrations more than 5 mmol/l higher than the mean self reported concentration. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES--Assessment of monitoring technique; presence of cognitive or physical impairment; serum fructosamine concentration; home and clinic blood glucose concentrations. RESULTS--15 of 34 patients had errors in monitoring technique, 12 of whom had cognitive or physical impairment. In the remaining 19, the mean (SD) blood glucose concentrations of capillary and venous samples taken at home (10.2 (0.6) and 12.2 (1.1) mmol/l respectively) were significantly lower than in those taken at the clinic (16.8 (1.6) mmol/l, p < 0.0002). The fructosamine concentration was significantly higher in patients with monitoring errors than those without (2.4 (0.4) v 1.8 (0.4) mmol/l, p < 0.0001). CONCLUSIONS--"White coat" hyperglycaemia was detected in about half the patients but errors in technique accounted for the rest of the discrepancies. Patients'' ability should be assessed before teaching self monitoring and the technique checked regularly. 相似文献

In experiments on 2-3-, 7-8-, 10- and 16-day old rat pups, basic age differences have been observed in the effect of a precursor of catecholamine mediator, i.e. L-DOPA on the activity on the spinal and brain mechanisms of autogenic periodic motor excitation. Strong stimulation of the spinal motor rhythm was observed during the first week. At this period, supraspinal rhythm becomes even less evident. On further development, the effect is an opposite one. In 10- and 16-day rat pups, at the background of total inhibition of the spontaneous activity, administration of L-DOPA significantly increases the activity of supraspinal generator of the motor rhythm. The data obtained reveal ontogenetic changes in regulatory mechanisms of autogenic motor activity. 相似文献

We have studied glucose phosphorylation at increasing glucose concentrations (1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 mmol/liter) in capillaries of the choroidocapillary lamina from the eye of normal female albino rabbits (n = 10; body wt 1800-2000 g; mean ± SEM morning glycemia: 147.77 ± 4.02 mg/dl) and from the eye of spontaneously hyperglycemic rabbits (n = 5, body wt 1800-2000 g. mean ± SEM morning glycemia; 211.00 ± 10.76 mg/dl). In the 3000g supernatant of capillary homogenates, the glucose phosphorylating activity (NADP reduction measured as optical density change at 366 nm at pH 7.5) increased progressively with the rise of glucose concentration (r = 0.36; P < 0.05), approaching the peak at high glucose level (25 mmol/liter), with values ranging from 5.32 ± 0.46 (SEM) nmol/min/mg protein to 7.14 ± 0.74 (+34.21%, P < 0.01). When measured at a more alkaline pH (8.2) the glucose phosphorylation was higher than at pH 7.5 and retained the responsiveness to increasing glucose concentrations. These kinetic characteristics differ from those seen in most tissues and are somewhat reminiscent of those shown by hepatic glucokinase. Indeed, by subtracting the activity at 1 mmol/liter glucose from that at higher glucose concentrations, we calculated the "glucokinase component" which together with the "hexokinase component" form the total glucose phosphorylating activity. Glucose phosphorylation in capillaries from spontaneously hyperglycemic rabbits was lower than normal (values: 3.66 ± 0.31 vs 5.32 ± (1.46 of the normal rabbits; −31.20%; P < 0.05). This could contribute to the hyperglycemia by reducing glucose utilization. However, in these animals the enzyme activity retained the responsivity to increasing glucose concentrations (r = 0.41, P < 0.05). Therefore, the actual capillary glucose phosphorylation in these animals would depend upon both the enzyme level (which is reduced) and the glucose concentration (which is increased). Due to the in vivo inhibition of the hexokinase component, the glucokinase component may be predominant in vivo, making the stimulating effects of hyperglycemia much more pronounced than it would appear from our data in vitro. This may lead to glucose overutilization. These kinetic characteristics of glucose phosphorylation in capillaries might be relevant to the mechanisms leading to diabetic microangiopathy. 相似文献

In the 4-day old rat pups and adult animals there were studied effects of subacute and acute phosphacol intoxication at the doses producing and not producing inhibition of aetylcholinesterase on ECG parameters and respiration rate. Analysis of the heart rhythm variability (HRV) was performed using an original program designed in the Labview media. The frequency diapason of cardiointervals was divided as follows: the high-frequency component (HF)-0.8-2.5 Hz, the low-frequency (LF, waves of the II order)-0.8-0.3 Hz; frequencies lower than 0.3 Hz-VLF (slow waves of the III order). Under the conditions of the subacute intoxication the heart rate frequency in the 4-day old and in adult rats increases by 36% and 13%, respectively, the respiration rate frequency increases by 73% in the newborn and does not change in adult rats. The VHR analysis indicates an increase of the tone of the parasympathetic nervous system. The level of the sympathetic activity somewhat increases in adults, but decreases in the 5-day old rat pups, which leads to an essential shift of the vagosympathetic balance towards predominance of parasympathetic influences. In adult rats, unlike the newborns, the role of the humoral-metabolic factors in regulation of the cardiac rhythm and vasomotor reactions increases significantly. Remarkably, the decrease of the nervous sympathetic effects in the rat pups leads to the positive chronotropic effect and stabilization of the cardiac rhythm. Acute phosphacol intoxication (doses of 0.25 and 1 µg/kg) is studied in the 4-day old rat pups. The low dose of the drug leads to development of a moderate bradycardia without disturbances of the cardiac rhythm. The high phosphacol dose produces pronounced bradycardia; on its background there develops a long-term transitory arrhythmia representing complexes of the heart rhythm, which alternate in the decasecond or nearminute rhythm and are separated by periodicity that is one order slower. We observed such rhythm earlier during activation of central N-cholinoreactive structures and development of bilateral pneumothorax. Results of the present study allow stating the paradoxical heart rhythm not as agonic, non-peculiar to the “living” organism, but as a special form of functioning of cardiac pacemakers due to disturbances of the heart regulatory mechanism.__________Translated from Zhurnal Evolyutsionnoi Biokhimii i Fiziologii, Vol. 41, No. 2, 2005, pp. 160–167.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by Kuznetsov, Goncharov, Glashkina. 相似文献
