Both immunoreactive erythropoietin (Ep) and biologically active Ep were measured in 23 samples of human serum and 21 concentrates of human urine. Immunoreactive Ep was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA). Biological activity was determined in the plethoric mouse bioassay in which 59Fe incorporation was converted to units of Ep from standard reference curves. Low values for Ep were determined from standard curves plotted as probits to improve sensitivity for levels of Ep as low as 30 mU/ml. Ep levels in 35 samples ranged between 30 and 1000 mU/ml by both assays; in 9 samples Ep was 15.2-37.5 mU/ml by RIA but was not detectable by bioassay. Analysis of the data for the 35 samples in which Ep could be measured by both assays showed a strong correlation between the values obtained by the two assays. These results indicate that the RIA used in these experiments detects biologically active Ep in human serum and urine when it is present in amounts only moderately higher than normal. The ultrafiltration method used for preparation of urine samples was effective in concentrating Ep in some urines, but the results were too erratic and nonquantitative to permit its use as a method for quantifying human urinary Ep excretion. 相似文献

The novel compound methyl-1-(3,4-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-(3-ethylvaleryl)-4-hydroxy-6,7,8-trimethoxy-2-naphthoate (S-8921) has hypocholesterolemic activity in animals and is expected to exhibit a similar activity in human. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation followed by radioimmunoassay (RIA) for human plasma samples (HPLC–RIA) and immunoaffinity extraction (IAE) followed by RIA for human urine samples (IAE–RIA) were developed for investigation of S-8921 behavior in clinical studies. For the RIA, antisera from rabbit and a radioiodine-labelled S-8921 were prepared by immunizing a conjugate of S-8921 with bovine serum albumin and by the Bolton and Hunter method, respectively. HPLC–RIA using a semi-micro column was very sensitive, that is a 0.05 ng/ml limit of quantitation in human plasma, and specific for unchanged form of S-8921. IAE–RIA using a centrifugal filtration tube completely eliminated the matrix effect of human urine, and was very feasible. The limit of quantitation was 0.10 ng/ml. RIA detection following HPLC or IAE proved to be very useful for the pharmaceutical analysis of extremely low drug concentrations in body fluids. 相似文献

Accumulation of carboxymethylated proteins (CML-proteins) is taken as a biomarker of glycoxidative stress which is thought to contribute to the age-related impairment in tissue and cell function. To investigate the occurrence and extent of glycoxidative damage with aging in rat kidney, serum and urine, we have prepared a polyclonal antibody against CML-modified bovine serum albumin. We subsequently used it for immunolocalization and in enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays to evaluate CML-protein content. In the serum, CML-protein level was 1.43+/-0.14 pmol CML/micrograms protein at 3 months and significantly increased by 50% from 10 to 27 months (1.50+/-0.14 pmol CML/micrograms protein vs 2.27+/-0.26 pmol CML/micrograms protein), albumin and transferrin being the main modified proteins. In the urine, CML-protein level was 2.50+/-0.14 pmol CML/micrograms protein at 3 months and markedly increased from 10 months (2.99+/-0.24 pmol CML/micrograms protein) to 27 months (3.76+/-0.25 pmol CML/micrograms protein), with albumin as the main excreted modified protein. Immunolocalization of CML-proteins in kidney provided evidence for an age-dependent increased accumulation in extracellular matrices. Intense staining of the glomerular basement membrane (GBM), Bowman's capsule, and the tubular basement membrane was found. Additionally, the CML content for collagen from GBM was 195.85+/-28.95 pmol CML/microgrms OHPro at 3 months and significantly increased from 10 months (187.61+/-21.99 pmol CML/micrograms OHPro) to 27 months (334.55+/-62.21 pmol CML/micrograms OHPro). These data show that circulating CML-protein level in serum and urine and CML accumulation in nephron extracellular matrices with aging are increasing in parallel. The CML-protein measurement in serum and urine may thus be used as an index for the assessment of age-associated glycoxidative kidney damage. 相似文献

Critical considerations in the development of an assay for sulfidopeptide leukotrienes in plasma 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
A sensitive and specific assay has been developed for measurement of total sulfidopeptide leukotrienes (LT) in plasma. LTC4 and LTD4 in plasma are converted to LTE4 which is then extracted by C18 Sep-Pak binding and elution. Total LTE4 is resolved by reverse phase high performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) and quantitated by radioimmunoassay (RIA). A [3H]LTE4 internal standard is added to the starting plasma sample to allow overall recovery to be calculated and to define the fractions from RP-HPLC to be assayed for LTE4-like immunoreactivity. The correlation between the measured increase in LTE4 concentration after addition of incremental amounts of LTC4 and LTE4 to plasma was 0.989 and 0.978, respectively, with slopes of 1.05 and 1.11. Addition of 51 pg/ml LTE4 to 5 ml plasma was detectable; the measured increase was 48 +/- 12 pg/ml (mean +/- SE, n = 7). The intra-assay coefficient of variation for 341 pg/ml of added LTC4 was 3.2% (n = 6). Sulfidopeptide leukotrienes could not be detected in blood samples taken from 12 normal volunteers in whom the theoretical detection limit, calculated from the sensitivity of the RIA, the overall recovery of LTE4, and the volume of plasma extracted, was 83 +/- 4 pg LTE4/ml plasma (0.19 +/- 0.01 pmol sulfidopeptide leukotriene/ml plasma; mean +/- SE). 相似文献

The influences of various active site-specific reagents of trypsin and protease inhibitors on the immunoreactivity of trypsin and serum trypsin concentration have been studied by radioimmunoassay (RIA). The RIA using inactivated 125I-trypsin as tracer showed lower Bo/T than the RIA using active 125I-trypsin, but the coefficient of variance of the former was smaller than that of the latter. Normal serum trypsin concentrations were 26.12-36.38 ng/ml with the RIA using inactivated 125I-trypsin as antigen tracer, and 201.15 ng/ml with the RIA using active 125I-trypsin as tracer. The recovery experiment showed that the difference was due to the interaction of serum protease inhibitors and labeled active trypsin. 相似文献

A selective and sensitive analytical method for the simultaneous measurement of dolasetron (I) and its major metabolite, MDL 74,156 (II), in human plasma and urine samples has been developed using a structural analogue, MDL 101,858, as internal standard (I.S.). The compounds were extracted from plasma and urine using solvent extraction after the addition of the I.S. Chromatographic separation was carried out on a reversed-phase HPLC column and detection and quantification was by fluorescence with excitation and emission wavelengths of 285 and 345 nm, respectively. Linear responses were obtained over concentration ranges of 5 to 1000 pmol/ml for plasma samples and 20 to 1000 pmol/ml for urine samples with correlation coefficients for the calibration curves exceeding 0.999 in all cases. Intra-day and inter-day reproducibility yielded limits of quantification of 10 pmol/ml for I and 5 pmol/ml for II in plasma and 50 pmol/ml for I and II in urine. The method has been applied to the simultaneous analysis of both compounds in plasma and urine samples coming from clinical pharmacokinetic studies. 相似文献

Measurement of serum aldosterone is clinically important in the diagnosis of hypertension. While isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (ID-GC-MS) provides reliable results, it requires derivatization and is lengthy and time-consuming. Detection by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is a potentially superior method. The analysis utilizes 0.5mL of serum. The samples were extracted with dichloromethane-ether. The extract was evaporated to dryness and aldosterone was analyzed by LC-MS/MS operating in the negative mode ESI after separation on a reversed-phase column. Aldosterone was also measured by RIA. The calibration curves for analysis of serum aldosterone exhibited consistent linearity and reproducibility in the range of 60-3000pmol/L. Interassay CVs were 4.3-7.5% at aldosterone concentrations of 97-993pmol/L. The lower limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 30pmol/L (signal to noise ratio=10). The mean recovery of the analyte added to serum ranged from 95 to 102%. The regression equation by LC-MS/MS (x) and RIA (y) method was: y=1.33x+185 (r=0.95; n=124). Sensitivity and specificity of the LC-MS/MS method for serum aldosterone offer advantages over GC-MS by eliminating derivatization. The novel method is rapid, reliable and simple to perform with a routine LC-MS/MS spectrometer. The sensitivity is adequate for patient samples. Aldosterone concentrations reported by nonextraction RIA were consistently higher than those produced by LC-MS/MS. 相似文献

We have evaluated the biosynthesis, characterization and inhibition of Leukotriene (LT) B4 in unstimulated and in A23187-stimulated human whole blood. LTB4 was assayed by radioimmunoassay (RIA) both in unextracted serum and after extraction and thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Unstimulated human whole blood allowed to clot at 37 degrees C for 60 min produced only trace amounts of LTB4 (0.16 +/- 0.05 ng/ml, mean +/- SD, n = 3). LTB4-like immunoreactivity (ir-LTB4) detectable in unstimulated serum samples was largely overestimated by direct RIA, most likely because of interfering substance(s) unrelated to cyclooxygenase or lipoxygenase activity. Incubation of human whole blood with A23187 (2-10 microM) resulted in a concentration-dependent stimulation of LTB4 production. At 10 microM A23187, ir-LTB4 was 18 +/- 2.4 ng/ml (mean +/- SEM, n = 28). In A23187-stimulated serum samples, LTB4 concentrations measured by direct RIA correlated in a statistically significant fashion with those measured after extraction and TLC. Nafazatrom added in vitro caused a dose-dependent inhibition of A23187-stimulated ir-LTB4 production with an IC50 of 17 microM. 相似文献

Salusins, identified from a full-length enriched human cDNA library by bioinformatics analyses, show mitogenic, neuromodulatory and hemodynamic activities in rats. They are expressed in a wide variety of human tissues, but their precise structures and levels in human body fluids remain unknown. We developed a radioimmunoassay suitable for the detection of immunoreactive human salusin-alpha and characterized the molecular forms and concentrations of salusin-alpha in human serum and urine. The assay allowed for measurement of immunoreactive salusin-alpha concentrations as low as 1 fmol/tube after extraction of serum with an octyl-silica column, and the concentration required for 50% inhibition of binding was 40 fmol/tube. Cross-reactivities with salusin-beta and other bioactive peptides were negligible. Salusin-alpha-like immunoreactivity in normal human serum and urine ranged from 11.0 to 40.4 pmol/l (mean+/-S.D., 23.3+/-8.1 pmol/l, n=31) and from 18.6 to 367.3 pmol/l (mean+/-S.D., 156.8+/-95.8 pmol/l), respectively. Reverse-phase high performance liquid chromatography coupled with radioimmunoassay detection revealed a major immunoreactive component that coeluted with authentic salusin-alpha. These data indicate the presence of salusin-alpha in human serum and urine, thereby verifying the initially predicted processing sites for salusin-alpha in humans. 相似文献

Antiserum YJC 13-31 against the rat ghrelin conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was produced in the rabbit and a double antibody radioimmunoassay (RIA) for ghrelin has been developed. Characterization results of this antiserum revealed no cross-reaction with human growth hormone and somatostatin. Weak cross-reactions with insulin (0.1%), rat growth hormone (0.1%) and glucagon (0.3%) were observed, which scarcely interfered the assay system. The sensitivity of this RIA was 5 pg per assay tube. With the rat serum samples, the within-assay precision was 7.1% and the between-assay precision was 12.3%. The RIA was also available to detect the ghrelin in rat tissue extracts with good parallelism to the rat ghrelin standard. In application, the serum ghrelin and corticosterone levels in weaned rats were measured by RIA. Gavage of saline was sufficient to raise serum ghrelin from 2.6 +/- 0.18 to 6.7 +/- 0.7 ng/ml (P < 0.01). Gavage with nonylphenol (NP) suppressed the elevation of serum ghrelin levels in a dose-dependent manner. Besides, gavages of saline elevated the serum levels of corticosterone from 108.8 +/- 13.5 to 188.7 +/- 23.5 ng/ml (P < 0.01) but the elevation effects of corticosterone from gavages were overcome by NP in the low dose of 50 mg/kg. It can be speculated that ingestion of NP is harmful to young animals during growth and environmental adaptation. 相似文献

Dehydroepiandrosterone-fatty acyl esters (DHEA-FAE) are naturally occurring water-insoluble metabolites of DHEA, which are transported in plasma exclusively by lipoproteins. To find out whether DHEA, like estradiol, might be stored in adipose tissue in FAE form, we set up a mass spectrometric method to quantify DHEA-FAE and free DHEA in human adipose tissue and serum. The method consists of chromatographic purification steps and final determination of hydrolyzed DHEA-FAE and free DHEA, which was carried out by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) or liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Our results showed that no detectable amounts of DHEA-FAE could be found in adipose tissue although 32-178 pmol/g of free DHEA were determined by GC-MS and LC-MS/MS. The DHEA-FAE concentrations in serum quantified by GC-MS were 1.4±0.7 pmol/ml in premenopausal women (n=7), and 0.9±0.4 pmol/ml in postmenopausal women (n=5). Correspondingly, the free DHEA concentrations were 15.2±6.3 pmol/ml and 6.8±3.0 pmol/ml. In addition, the mean proportions of DHEA-FAE of total DHEA (DHEA-FAE+free DHEA) in serum were 8.6% and 11.2% in pre- and postmenopausal women, respectively. Serum DHEA-FAE concentration was below quantification limit for LC-MS/MS (signal-to-noise ratio, S/N=10), while free DHEA concentrations varied between 5.8 and 23.2 pmol/ml. In conclusion, the proportion of DHEA-FAE of total DHEA in serum was approximately 9%. However, in contrast to our previous findings for estradiol fatty acid esters in adipose tissue which constituted about 80% of total estradiol (esterified+free), the proportion of DHEA-FAE of total DHEA was below 5%. Four to ten times higher concentrations of free DHEA were quantified in adipose tissue compared to those in serum. 相似文献

alpha- and gamma-tocopherol are the major vitamin E compounds found in human blood and tissues. The metabolites are 2,5,7, 8-tetramethyl-2-(2'-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman (alpha-CEHC) and 2,7,8-trimethyl-2-(2'-carboxyethyl)-6-hydroxychroman (gamma-CEHC, LLU-alpha), respectively. alpha-CEHC is excreted mainly as glucuronide or sulfate conjugates in the urine. Here we describe a sensitive and reliable method to analyze alpha- and gamma-CEHC in human serum. The concentration of alpha-CEHC in human serum is in the range of 5-10 pmol/ml but increases significantly up to 200 pmol/ml upon supplementation with RRR-alpha-tocopherol. About one-third of the alpha-CEHC circulating in the blood is present as a glucuronide conjugate. Baseline levels of gamma-CEHC are about 50 to 85 pmol/ml. 相似文献

The objective was to characterize the urinary oxytocin (OT) system with the goal of using it as a biomarker for neurohypophyseal peptide secretion. We studied urinary OT secretion in mice under three conditions: (1) in OT gene deletion mice (OT -/-) which lack the ability to produce the peptide; (2) after arterial vascular infusion of OT and (3) after physiological stimulation with consumption of 2% sodium chloride. OT was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and Surface-Enhanced Laser Desorption Ionization Time of Flight Mass Spectroscopy (SELDI TOF MS). In OT -/- mice (n=25), urinary OT levels were not detectable, while in OT +/+ mice (n=23) levels were 250.2+/-35.3 pg/ml. To evaluate blood/urine transfer, mice with chronic carotid arterial catheters were infused with saline or OT (5 or 20 pmol/min). Peak urine OT levels were 89+/-11.5 and 844+/-181 ng/ml in the low and high OT groups, respectively. Proteomic evaluation showed MS peaks, corresponding to OT ( approximately 1009 Da) and a related peptide ( approximately 1030 Da) with highest levels in mice infused with OT. Salt loading (5 days of 2% NaCl as drinking water) increased plasma osmolality (3.3%), increased plasma and urinary vasopressin (AVP), but caused no changes in OT. Thus, using non-invasive urine samples, we document that urinary OT and AVP can be used to monitor changes in peptide secretion. Urinary OT and AVP, as well as other urinary peptides, may provide a viable biomarker for peptide secretion and may be useful in clinical studies. 相似文献

Nocistatin (NST) and nociceptin/orphanin FQ (NCP) are two important bio-peptides derived from the precursor protein prepronociceptin (ppNCP), involved in several central nervous system (CNS) functions including pain transmission. Since the actual form of human NST in CNS is not fully characterized, we studied the structure of NST from human brain tissue and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples. NST and NCP were isolated from human brain and CSF samples by affinity chromatography combined with HPLC. Mass spectrometry was used for the identification and characterization of the peptides. The total NST immunoreactivity was detected as 11.5+/-2.3 pmol/g tissue for the brain and 0.44 pmol/ml for the pooled CSF sample after the HPLC purification by radioimmunoassay. The presence of two different forms of mature nocistatin (NST-17 and NST-30) and a possible N-terminal methionine cleaved NST-29 were confirmed by both radioimmunoassay and mass spectrometry. Affinity chromatography, HPLC and mass spectrometry methods used in this study were highly sensitive and suitable for identification of actual chemical structures and quantification of very small amounts of peptides in biological samples. The present findings may help further for search for new treatment of neuropathic pain, which is often poorly managed by current therapies. 相似文献

An experiment was conducted to determine whether the uterotonic effects of oxytocin, a drug used to treat mares that have a delay in uterine clearance were affected by the sedative detomidine (an alpha2-agonist), a drug used to treat fractious mares. An additional objective was to identify propagation patterns of uterine contractions and determine whether these patterns differed between normal mares and mares with delayed uterine clearance (DUC). Intrauterine pressure was measured in five reproductively normal mares and four mares with DUC during estrus using an 8-F Milar catheter with two discrete pressure sensors. Mares received one of three treatments in random order: detomidine (0.001 mg/kg; i.v.); detomidine followed in 10 min by oxytocin (10 IU; i.v.); and saline (0.9% NaCl 0.5 ml; i.v.) followed in 10 min by oxytocin. All treatments induced waves of contractions; however, only three mares with DUC exhibited contractions after administration of detomidine. Normal mares experienced more uterine contractions (P < 0.01) that tended to last longer (P < 0.06), and were of greater intensity (P < 0.04) than mares with delayed clearance. Administration of detomidine before oxytocin increased the number of contractions (P < 0.02) and increased the maximum intrauterine pressure in the uterine horn (P < 0.05) in normal mares as compared to response after administration of saline and oxytocin. Detomidine had no effect in mares with delayed clearance. All mares had more propagating than non-propagating uterine contractions (74 +/- 8 versus 25 +/- 8%, respectively). Normal mares exhibited a normal propagation pattern more frequently (P < 0.0001) than mares with DUC. Simultaneous (P < 0.05) and inverted (P < 0.03) contractions occurred more frequently in mares with DUC. Administration of detomidine increased the number (P < 0.01), and tended to increase the percentage (P < 0.07) of normal propagating uterine contractions in normal mares, but did not affect propagation patterns in mares with DUC. In conclusion, detomidine augmented the uterotonic effect of oxytocin in normal mares but not in mares with DUC. Data suggest that mares with DUC have a defect in myoelectrical signaling and a decrease in the contractile strength of the uterine muscle. 相似文献

Although nitrated proteins have been repeatedly used as markers of lung injury, little is known about their formation and metabolism under hyperoxia. We therefore measured 3-nitrotyrosine (3NTYR) concentrations in lung tissue and serum of rats with carrageenan-induced pneumonia exposed to hyperoxia. Twenty-nine Wistar male rats were assigned to one of 4 groups. Two experimental groups were treated by intratracheal application of carrageenan (0.5 ml of 0.7 % solution) and then one was exposed to hyperoxia for 7 days (FIO2 0.8), the other to air. Rats of two control groups breathed either hyperoxic gas mixture or air for 7 days. At the end of exposure the ventilation was determined in anesthetized, intubated animals in which 3NTYR concentrations were measured in the lung tissue and nitrites and nitrates (NOx) were estimated in the serum. Carrageenan instillation increased 3NTYR concentrations in lung tissue (carrageenan-normoxic group 147+/-7 pmol/g protein, control 90+/-10 pmol/g protein) and NOx concentration in the serum (carrageenan-normoxic group 126+/-13 ppb, control 78+/-9 ppb). Hyperoxia had no effect on lung tissue 3NTYR concentration in controls (control-hyperoxic 100+/-14 pmol/g protein) but blocked the increase of lung tissue 3NTYR in carrageenan-treated rats (carrageenan-hyperoxic 82+/-13 pmol/g protein), increased NOx in serum (control-hyperoxic 127+/-19 ppb) and decreased serum concentration of 3NTYR in both hyperoxic groups (carrageenan-hyperoxic 51+/-5 pmol/g protein, control-hyperoxic 67+/-7 pmol/g protein, carrageenan-normoxic 82+/-9 pmol/g protein, control 91+/-7 pmol/g protein). The results suggest that hyperoxia affects nitration of tyrosine residues, probably by increasing 3NTYR degradation. 相似文献

Gastrin can readily be concentrated from 10 to 50 ml of urine with better than 90% recovery using octadecylsilyl (ODS) silica columns (C18 Sep-Pak cartridge) and then measured by radioimmunoassay. Fractionation on Sephadex G50 gel filtration reveals that the apparent immunoreactivity is not due to nonspecific interference in the assay system but does correspond to the two known forms of gastrin, the 17 and 34 amino acid peptides. Renal clearance of gastrin in 5 normal subjects does not appear to differ in the fasted and fed state and ranged from 0.09 to 0.26 ml/min with an average of 0.16 +/- 0.05 (S.D.) ml/min. Urinary gastrin excretion in the overnight fasting state was generally less than 0.005 pmol/hr/kg body weight and fell to lower levels after a 20-hour fast. Increased urinary gastrin output was observed following feeding. Gastrin output in urine in 7 subjects ranged from 6.8 to 10.2 pmol/24 hr with an average of 8.5 +/- 1.5 (S.D.) pmol/24 hr. A single determination of renal gastrin clearance and 24-hour gastrin urinary output appears to be sufficient for the determination of averaged plasma gastrin levels in normal subjects without renal disease. Similar methodology should be applicable to a variety of other peptidal hormones as well. 相似文献

In order to study the effect of exercise on the total serum opioid activity, female rats were trained for 3 weeks on a motor-driven treadmill and the experiment was ended by a final strenuous run until exhaustion. The serum samples were taken immediately after the final run and were analyzed by radioreceptor assay. Despite considerable interindividual variations, serum opioid activity, expressed in met-enkephalin equivalents (ME eq +/- S.D.), was significantly higher in the exercising group (74.5+/-50.5 pmol ME eq/ml) than in the control group (35.7+/-20.2 pmol ME eq/ml). Because of the much lower molar levels of beta endorphin and met-enkephalin, this result suggests that many other opioid peptides might be involved in that increase. 相似文献

Tissue and plasma concentration of peptide YY (PYY) were measured by means of a radioimmunoassay (RIA) developed in our laboratory, using a specific PYY antiserum generated in New Zealand white rabbits against synthetic PYY, and dextran-coated charcoal to terminate the assay. Cellular localization of PYY was studied immunohistochemically using the peroxidase-antiperoxidase (PAP) technique. The highest tissue concentration of PYY was found in the mucosa of the terminal ileum and colon. PYY-containing secretory granules were primarily found in the basal pole of open-type endocrine cells. Basal plasma concentration of PYY was 70 +/- 9 pg/ml and rose to 357 +/- 30 pg/ml during the IV administration of PYY at 400 pmol/kg-h. A significant correlation was found (r = 0.94, p less than 0.05) between dose of PYY (12.5, 25, 50, 100, 200, 400 pmol/kg-h, IV) and plasma concentration of PYY. The calculated half-life of PYY in plasma was 8.3 +/- 1.9 minutes. Plasma concentration of PYY during the intraduodenal administration of sodium oleate (150 +/- 20 pg/ml) or long-chain triglyceride (187 +/- 37 pg/ml) was similar to plasma concentration of PYY obtained during the IV administration of PYY at 100 pmol/kg-h. Plasma concentration of PYY raised (126 +/- 10 pg/ml) after the administration of bombesin (400 pmol/kg-h, IV). Bile enhanced release of PYY. The present study suggests a hormonal role for PYY. 相似文献

Several reports have been published on blood leptin concentrations in feral animals, including members of the Carnivora, using a commercially available multi-species radioimmunoassay (RIA) kit with anti-human leptin antibody. However, we observed weak immunoreactivity between recombinant canine leptin and anti-human leptin antibody, suggesting a limitation in the applicability of the RIA kit for leptin assays in Carnivora species. We tested the applicability of RIA and sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with anti-canine leptin antibody to assay blood leptin in the dog (Canis familiaris) and the raccoon (Procyon lotor). When RIA was used for recombinant canine leptin and dog sera, values were much lower than those determined by ELISA at higher concentrations (>10 ng/ml), while rather higher at lower concentrations (<2 ng/ml). A similar discrepancy between the two methods was found for serum leptin concentrations in raccoons. Clear seasonal variations were observed by ELISA, but not by RIA, with high values in autumn (3.46+/-0.45 ng/ml) and low values in spring and summer (0.71+/-0.07 ng/ml). Serum leptin concentrations in raccoons correlated positively with their body weight (r=0.753) and body mass index (r=0.755), corroborating our previous findings of a strong positive correlation between serum leptin concentrations and body fat content in dogs. Thus, the canine leptin ELISA is useful for assays of dog and raccoon leptin, and blood leptin is a good marker of nutritional condition in the species of Carnivora assayed in this study. 相似文献
