Liver lead levels were higher for rats that were orally dosed with 100 mg lead acetate/kg body wt and fed a semipurified diet
than those fed a pelleted diet. The activities of delta-aminolevulinic acid dehydratase in blood were decreased in the group
given 10 μg lead acetate/mL in their drinking water and fed the semipurified diet, but not in the blood from the group treated
with lead and fed the pelleted diet. The levels of glutathione in the liver decreased in response to lead acetate in the drinking
water of rats fed the semipurified diet, but not in the livers from the group fed the pelleted diet and treated with lead.
The levels of lead in the kidneys were higher in the group given lead acetate in their drinking water and fed the semipurified
diet than in the lead treated group fed the pelleted diet. Rats dosed orally with lead or given lead in the drinking water
and fed the semipurified diet were more sensitive to lead treatment than those fed the pelleted diet. 相似文献

Rats drank rapidly when 0.3 M NaCl was the only drinking fluid available after overnight water deprivation, consuming approximately 200 ml/24 h. Although such large intakes of this hypertonic solution initially elevated plasma osmolality, excretion of comparable volumes of urine more concentrated than 300 meq Na(+)/l ultimately appears to restore plasma osmolality to normal levels. Rats drank approximately 100 ml of 0.5 M NaCl after overnight water deprivation, but urine Na(+) concentration (U(Na)) did not increase sufficiently to achieve osmoregulation. When an injected salt load exacerbated the initial dehydration caused by water deprivation, rats increased U(Na) to void the injected load and did not significantly alter 24-h intake of 0.3 or 0.5 M NaCl. Rats with lesions of area postrema had much higher saline intakes and lower U(Na) than did intact control rats; nonetheless, they appeared to osmoregulate well while drinking 0.3 M NaCl but not while drinking 0.5 M NaCl. Detailed analyses of drinking behavior by intact rats suggest that individual bouts were terminated by some rapid postabsorptive consequence of the ingested NaCl load that inhibited further NaCl intake, not by a fixed intake volume or number of licks that temporarily satiated thirst. 相似文献

To test the effect of a high dietary calcium intake on blood pressure, we fed stroke-prone spontaneously hypertensive (SHR-SP) and Wistar-Kyoto rats (WKY) diets containing (a) 0.25% Ca/0.08% Mg, (b) 4.0% Ca/0.02% Mg, and (c) 4.0% Ca/0.08% mg, beginning at 6 weeks of age. SHR-SP and WKY rats receiving 4% Ca with the lower Mg content had lower blood pressures, hypomagnesemia, and hypomagnesuria, and grew poorly. SHR-SP receiving 4% Ca and the higher Mg diet had blood pressures no different from those of rats receiving the 0.25% Ca diet, in spite of having lower body weights. Rubidium flux studies in erythrocytes were not influenced by Ca or Mg in the diets. Plasma phosphate values were moderately reduced in rats receiving 4% Ca diets. Epinephrine and norepinephrine values were higher in SHR-SP than in WKY rats. Norepinephrine increased with stress in both strains, independent of diet. Epinephrine values were lower in SHR-SP receiving the 4% Ca diets and showed less of an increase with stress compared to SHR-SP receiving the 0.25% Ca diet. After 26 weeks of diets, SHR-SP and WKY rats were given 0.9% NaCl in their drinking water. NaCl increased blood pressure in SHR-SP irrespective of Ca content of the diet. These data suggest that a high Ca diet influences Mg homeostasis and adrenal medullary function in SHR-SP. Further, SHR-SP appear resistant to any blood pressure lowering effect of Ca irrespective of NaCl intake. 相似文献

We examined body fluid regulation by weanling (21-25 days) and adult (>60 days) male rats that were offspring of dams fed chow containing either 0.1, 1, or 3% NaCl throughout gestation and lactation. Weanling rats were maintained on the test diets until postnatal day 30 and on standard 1% NaCl chow thereafter. Ad libitum water intake by weanlings was highest in those fed 3% NaCl and lowest in those fed 0.1% NaCl. Adult rats maintained on standard NaCl chow consumed similar amounts of water after overnight water deprivation or intravenous hypertonic NaCl (HS) infusion regardless of early NaCl condition. Moreover, baseline and HS-stimulated plasma Na(+) concentrations also were similar for the three groups. Nonetheless, adult rats in the early 3% NaCl group consumed more of 0.5 M NaCl after 10 days of dietary Na(+) deprivation than did rats in either the 1% or 0.1% NaCl group. Interestingly, whether NaCl was consumed in a concentrated solution in short-term, two-bottle tests after dietary Na(+) deprivation or in chow during ad libitum feeding, adult rats in the 3% NaCl group drank less water for each unit of NaCl consumed, whereas rats in the 0.1% NaCl group drank more water for each unit of NaCl consumed. Thus gestational and early postnatal dietary NaCl levels do not affect stimulated water intake or long-term body fluid regulation. Together with our previous studies, these results suggest that persistent changes in NaCl intake and in water intake associated with NaCl ingestion reflect short-term behavioral effects that may be attributable to differences in NaCl taste processing. 相似文献

Female Fischer 344 rats sensitized to the development of salt hypertension by unilateral nephrectomy were given water, 1% NaCl solution or 5% sucrose + 1% NaCl solution to drink. Rats on saline alone drank about twice the fluid volume of those on water, whereas those on the sucrose-saline solution drank four to six times as much. No Fischer 344 rats ever developed hypertension, defined as a systolic pressure exceeding 150 mm Hg, during the six months of the study. However, the group on saline averaged slightly higher arterial pressures than those on water on 13 of the 14 occasions that blood pressure was measured, and the average pressure over the entire experimental period was also significantly increased. The rats on sucrose-saline had a group mean blood pressure which was always significantly higher than that of the group on water and usually greater also than that of the group on saline, and the average pressure over the entire experimental period was significantly augmented above that in either of the other groups. Rats on either of the saline solutions also had a slight but significant degree of heart and kidney enlargement, greatest in the sucrose-saline group, which is attributed to the higher pressures developed, even though they remained within the normotensive range. 相似文献

An influence of fish oils (rich in eicosapentaenoic acid, EPA) in modulating (a) the development of hypertension in the stroke prone spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHRSP) and (b) vascular neuroeffector mechanisms in the SHRSP was explored. Rats (SHRSP) were placed on a series of diets for a period of 13 weeks from 4 weeks of age. The fatty acid composition of the diets was derived from fish oil, olive oil, safflower oil or beef fat. After 13 weeks, rats fed diets containing fish oil (at a total dietary fat level of either 5% or 15%) had mean blood pressures approximately 20-25 mmHg lower than other SHRSP rats maintained on diets containing either olive oil, safflower oil or beef fat. The dietary schedules providing fish oil depressed the contractile responses mediated by sympathetic nerve stimulation in the mesenteric vascular bed preparation. The results suggest that the n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids retard the development of hypertension in the SHRSP rat and modulate the contractile responses of blood vessels mediated by sympathetic nerves in the isolated perfused mesenteric vascular bed preparation. 相似文献

Interscapular brown adipose tissue (BAT) weighed more in rats given access to a solution of sucrose in addition to a nutritionally complete basal diet than in rats eating only a basal diet. This incremental effect of drinking sucrose solution occurs across a variety of dietary conditions. In the first experiment, rats were fed diets containing either 9%, 18%, 27% or 36% casein. Rats given access to a sucrose solution had significantly larger brown fat pads than controls when the diets contained 9 or 18% casein, but not when diets contained either 27% or 36% casein. The second experiment examined the weight of brown adipose tissue as a function of the type of protein and the percentage of fat in the diet. Animals given a sucrose solution had significantly more BAT than animals not given sucrose. Neither the type of protein (casein or soy protein) nor the percentage of fat (14.5% or 36.4%) in the diet influenced the weight of BAT. Animals given access to either a sucrose solution or a glucose solution had significantly heavier BAT than animals given access to a fructose solution, granulated sucrose or water. 相似文献

Centrally administered vasopressin cross-sensitizes rats to amphetamine and drinking hypertonic NaCl
McBride SM Flynn FW 《American journal of physiology. Regulatory, integrative and comparative physiology》2007,293(3):R1452-R1458
Prior sodium restriction cross-sensitizes rats to the psychomotor effects of amphetamines and vice versa. Repeated central injections of vasopressin (VP) induce a psychomotor sensitization similar to amphetamine sensitization and repeated sodium deficiency. Thus brain VP signaling may be a common mechanism involved in mediating these two motivational systems. In experiment 1, we tested the hypothesis that rats previously sensitized to central VP would show enhanced psychomotor responses to amphetamine. Rats were administered saline, VP (50 ng), or amphetamine (1 mg/kg or 3 mg/kg) on days 1 and 2, and given saline or amphetamine on day 3. Amphetamine produced psychomotor arousal in all groups. However, amphetamine on day 3 elicited a significantly greater psychomotor response in rats that had prior injections of amphetamine or VP than in rats previously treated with saline. In experiment 2, the hypothesis that prior experience with central VP would cross-sensitize rats to drinking hypertonic sodium (NaCl) solutions was tested. Rats were administered VP (50 ng) or saline for 3 days. On the fourth day, nondeprived rats were given access to 0.3 M NaCl and water for 1 h. Control and saline-treated rats only drank 1 ml of 0.3 M NaCl, but rats previously exposed to central VP drank significantly more hypertonic saline (4 ml). These results show that prior experience with central VP cross-sensitizes rats to the psychomotor stimulant effects of amphetamine and the ingestion of concentrated NaCl solutions. This pattern of cross-sensitization links central VP signaling, amphetamine, and sodium deficiency, and therefore it may play a role in the cross-sensitization between sodium appetite and amphetamines. 相似文献

Plasma parathyroid hormone (pPTH) levels have been assessed in three separate radioimmunoassay systems in samples from Wistar-Kyoto rats. The animals were subjected to one of three dietary regimens throughout the study period: Group 1 animals consumed normal rat chow and drank tap water; Group 2 animals consumed normal rat chow and tap water was replaced with 0.5% saline solution; Group 3 animals consumed normal rat chow to which 2.5% CaCO3 (by weight) had been added and also drank 0.5% saline solution. Animals had consumed these diets for approximately 7 months prior to sacrifice for blood collection. Blood pressure was measured by tail cuff plethysmography in these animals and, as previously reported, saline consuming animals showed a moderate hypertension (Gp 2) only when diets did not contain added calcium (Gp 3). In the week prior to sacrifice, mean blood pressures were: Gp 1: 128.0 +/- 3.46 mmHg; Gp 2: 140.2 +/- 3.15 mmHg; and Gp 3: 133.5 +/- 2.90 mmHg. Three assay systems were used to measure pPTH levels from trunk blood samples obtained by guillotine decapitation. One assay used an antiserum directed toward the vasoactive N terminal fragment 1-34 and produced pPTH measurements of 0.74 +/- 0.05 ng/ml in Gp 1 animals, 1.04 +/- 0.07 ng/ml in Gp 2 animals and 1.12 +/- 0.08 ng/ml in Gp 3 animals. This pattern was consistent with that obtained by another antiserum which had been raised against the intact 1-84 PTH molecule and produced values of 0.25 +/- 0.03 ng/ml in Gp 1 animals, 0.55 +/- 0.07 ng/ml in Gp 2 animals and 0.74 +/- 0.04 ng/ml in Gp 3 animals. Antiserum raised against the C-terminal did not show any difference in pPTH across groups. We conclude that saline consumption may increase some portions of circulating PTH. Such elevation of pPTH may not be a pathophysiological component in the sodium dependent elevation of blood pressure since animals concurrently consuming both saline and calcium supplemented diets retained elevated pPTH levels even though blood pressures did not differ from controls. Rather, elevation of circulating PTH levels may be a response to prolonged increases in sodium consumption. 相似文献

The effect of dietary fat on levels of lipase and other enzymes in rat pancreas has been studied. It was possible to raise levels of lipase in animals by supplementing their commercial chow diet with added fat or by raising the level of fat in semipurified diets from 4% to 22%. Pancreatic amylase levels decreased in rats fed the high fat diets, whereas levels of chymotrypsinogen and trypsinogen were unaffected. The type of carbohydrate in the semipurified diets made no difference. Thus, the levels of enzymes in rats fed dextrose-containing diets or cornstarch-containing diets were similar. On the basis of the present data, and results of others, it would appear that levels of pancreatic lipase are increased when the fat content of the diet is raised from about 5% to 15-22%, but that little or no additional increase in lipase levels can be attained by any further increase in the amount of dietary fat. 相似文献

The present studies investigated the influence of presystemic signals on the control of thirst, salt appetite, and vasopressin (VP) secretion in rats during nonhypotensive hypovolemia. Rats were injected with 30% polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution, deprived of food and water overnight, and then allowed to drink water, 0.15 M NaCl, or 0.30 M NaCl. The PEG treatment, which produced 30-40% plasma volume deficits, elicited rapid intakes in an initial bout of drinking, but rats consumed much more 0.15 M NaCl than water or 0.30 M NaCl. In considering why drinking stopped sooner when water or concentrated saline was ingested, it seemed relevant that little or no change in systemic plasma Na(+) concentration was observed during the initial bouts and that the partial repair of hypovolemia was comparable, regardless of which fluid was consumed. In rats that drank 0.15 M NaCl, gastric emptying was fastest and the combined volume of ingested fluid in the stomach and small intestine was largest. These and other observations are consistent with the hypothesis that fluid ingestion by hypovolemic rats is inhibited by distension of the stomach and proximal small intestine and that movement of dilute or concentrated fluid into the small intestine provides another presystemic signal that inhibits thirst or salt appetite, respectively. On the other hand, an early effect of water or saline consumption on VP secretion in PEG-treated rats was not observed, in contrast to recent findings in dehydrated rats. Thus the controls of fluid ingestion and VP secretion are similar but not identical during hypovolemia. 相似文献

Semipurified diets produce a marked hypercholesterolemia in rabbits and tend to elevate the level of plasma cholesterol in rats. They also decrease rates of oxidation of [26-14C]cholesterol to respiratory 14CO2 and excretion of label in fecal lipid, compared with commercial feed. In both species, the hypercholesterolemia was prevented and the rate of oxidation of [26-14C]cholesterol increased by using unmodified potato starch as the carbohydrate component of the semipurified diets. Potato starch was poorly digested by rats but appeared to be well utilized by rabbits. A semipurifed diet containing cooked potato starch gave results in rats comparable to those obtained with diets containing other types of carbohydrate. Cooked potato starch produced diarrhea in rabbits, thus complicating interpretation of the results. When the diarrhea was treated with antibiotics, the results were similar to those obtained with other carbohydrates. Rats fed commercial diet which had been heated in an oven or autoclaved had higher plasma levels than those fed untreated commercial diet but no significant differences in rates of oxidation or excretion of cholesterol were observed. 相似文献

Coffee beans contain the diterpene cafestol, which raises plasma cholesterol concentrations in humans. Daily consumption of 2 g coffee oil, which provides approximately 60 mg cafestol (equivalent to 5.7 mg cafestol/MJ), increases plasma cholesterol concentrations by 28%. We studied the effect of cafestol in coffee oil on gerbils and rats to determine whether the pathways that lead to cafestol-induced hypercholesterolemia in humans are also present in other species. We fed coffee oil from the same batch used in humans to female gerbils and rats. Gerbils were fed a semipurified diet containing 0.5% or 5% (w/w) coffee oil (equivalent to 8.7 and 86.8 mg cafestol/MJ, respectively) in the presence or absence of 0.05% (w/w) cholesterol for a period of 10 weeks. When compared with the gerbils fed no coffee oil, the addition of 0.5% coffee oil to the diets did not affect plasma cholesterol. Plasma cholesterol was significantly higher only when 5% coffee oil was fed, both in the absence (1.01 mmol/L, 33% higher) and presence (1.87 mmol/L, 70% higher) of dietary cholesterol. Liver weight was also significantly higher when 5% coffee oil was fed. Rats were also fed diets containing 0.5% or 5% coffee oil (equivalent to 8.7 and 86.8 mg cafestol/MJ) with and without 0.05% cholesterol for 8 weeks. Feeding 0.5% coffee oil compared with no coffee oil resulted in significantly higher plasma cholesterol levels throughout the study both in the absence (0.46 mmol/L, 27% higher) and presence (0.28 mmol/L, 15% higher) of dietary cholesterol. Diets containing 5% coffee oil appeared to be toxic. Thus, coffee oil diterpenes can result in higher plasma cholesterol in gerbils and rats. The failure to observe these effects in previous studies may be due to doses that were too low. 相似文献

We investigated the effects of diets with different fatty acid composition upon the oxidative stress of inflammatory leukocytes of rats. After weaning, two groups of rats were fed isoenergetic semipurified diets for five weeks containing 5% of corn oil or menhaden oil. Polymorphonuclear leukocytes from rats fed menhaden oil diet incorporated n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids into phospholipid membranes at the expense of arachidonic acid. These cells showed diminished superoxide production and, as a consequence, the total antioxidant status in the inflammatory exudate was increased. However, nitric oxide production was not affected by diet. Free malondialdeyde concentration increased in the exudate because of lower mitochondrial activity. These results add new aspects that help clarifying the anti-inflammatory mechanisms of n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids. 相似文献

Previous studies clearly demonstrated acute actions of angiotensin II (ANG II) at one of the central circumventricular organs, the subfornical organ (SFO), but studies demonstrating a role for the SFO in the chronic actions of ANG II remain uncertain. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of the SFO in the chronic hypertensive phase of ANG II-induced hypertension. We hypothesized that the SFO is necessary for the full hypertensive response observed during the chronic phase of ANG II-induced hypertension. To test this hypothesis, male Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to sham operation (sham rats) or electrolytic lesion of the SFO (SFOx rats). After 1 wk, the rats were instrumented with venous catheters and radiotelemetric transducers for intravenous administration of ANG II and measurement of blood pressure and heart rate, respectively. Rats were then allowed 1 wk for recovery. After 3 days of saline control infusion (7 ml of 0.9% NaCl/day), sham and SFOx rats were infused with ANG II at 10 ng.kg(-1).min(-1) i.v. for 10 consecutive days and then allowed to recover for 3 days. A 0.4% NaCl diet and distilled water were provided ad libitum. At day 5 of ANG II infusion, mean arterial pressure increased 11.7 +/- 3.0 mmHg in sham rats (n = 9) but increased only 3.7 +/- 1.4 mmHg in SFOx rats (n = 9). This trend continued through day 10 of ANG II treatment. These results support the hypothesis that the SFO is necessary for the full hypertensive response to chronic ANG II administration. 相似文献

Activities of fatty acid desaturases and fatty acid composition of liver microsomes in rats fed beta-carotene and 13-cis-retinoic acid 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The fatty acid composition of microsomal lipids and the activities of delta 9- and delta 6-desaturases in liver microsomes of rats fed diets supplemented with beta-carotene and two levels of 13-cis-retinoic acid were studied. Four groups of male, weanling rats were fed semipurified diets containing 0 or 100 mg beta-carotene per kg diet, and 20 or 100 mg 13-cis-retinoic acid per kg diet. After 11 weeks of feeding, the rats were killed, liver microsomes were prepared and assayed for delta 9-desaturase and delta 6-desaturase activities. The activity of delta 9-desaturase was lower in liver microsomes of rats fed beta-carotene-supplemented diet or the diet supplemented with the higher level of 13-cis-retinoic acid. Microsomal delta 6-desaturase activity was, however, higher in liver of rats fed 13-cis retinoic acid; there was no effect of beta-carotene on delta 6-desaturase activity. The fatty acid compositional data on total lipids of liver microsomes were consistent with the diet-induced changes in fatty acid desaturases. Phospholipid composition of liver microsomes was also altered as a result of feeding beta-carotene or 13-cis-retinoic acid-containing diets. The proportions of phosphatidylethanolamine were generally higher, whereas those of phosphatidylcholine were lower in the experimental groups as compared with the control. 相似文献

Infusion of angiotensin II (ANG II) causes salt-sensitive hypertension. It is unclear whether this is due to the body's inability to suppress ANG II during increased salt intake or, rather, an elevated basal level of plasma ANG II itself. To distinguish between these mechanisms, Sprague-Dawley rats were instrumented with arterial and venous catheters for measurement of arterial pressure and infusion of drugs, respectively. The sensitivity of arterial pressure to salt was measured in four groups with the following treatments: 1) saline control (Con, n = 12); 2) administration of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor enalapril to block endogenous ANG II (ANG-Lo, n = 10); 3) administration of enalapril and 5 ng.kg(-1).min(-1) ANG II to clamp plasma ANG II at normal levels (ANG-Norm, n = 10); and 4) administration of enalapril and 20 ng.kg(-1).min(-1) ANG II to clamp ANG II at high levels (ANG-Hi, n = 10). Rats ingested a 0.4% NaCl diet for 3 days and then a 4.0% NaCl diet for 11 days. Arterial pressure of rats fed the 0.4% NaCl diet was lower in ANG-Lo (84 +/- 2 mmHg) compared with Con (101 +/- 3 mmHg) and ANG-Norm (98 +/- 4 mmHg) groups, whereas ANG-Hi rats were hypertensive (145 +/- 4 mmHg). Salt sensitivity was expressed as the change in arterial pressure divided by the change in sodium intake on the last day of the 4.0% NaCl diet. Salt sensitivity (in mmHg/meq Na) was lowest in Con rats (0.0 +/- 0.1) and progressed from ANG-Lo (0.8 +/- 0.2) to ANG-Norm (1.5 +/- 0.5) to ANG-Hi (3.5 +/- 0.5) rats. We conclude that the major determinant of salt sensitivity of arterial pressure is the basal level of plasma ANG II rather than the responsiveness of the renin-angiotensin system. 相似文献

The effects of chronic dietary sodium chloride (NaCl) consumption on renal function and brain dopamine receptors were studied in adult, male normotensive rats. Compared to rats maintained on the normal NaCl (0.33%) diet, animals maintained on the low NaCl (0%) diet for 4 weeks exhibited significant increases in plasma aldosterone, chloride and changes in urinary electrolyte excretion. In contrast, rats maintained on the high NaCl (8%) diet for 4 weeks demonstrated significant increases in urine volume and urinary sodium, chloride and dopamine excretions and water intake. Rats fed the high NaCl diet displayed a 42–59% decrease (p<0.001–0.05) in D1 binding in the nucleus accumbens (NA), olfactory tubercle (OT) and the striatum (STM), without any effects on D2 binding in these brain regions. Rats maintained on the low NaCl diet also demonstrated decreased D1 binding in the ventral (24%, p<0.02) and lateral (29%, p<0.01) STM, but not in the OT, NA, entopeduncular nucleus and substantia nigra. Rats fed low or high NaCl diets exhibited a 35–180% increase (p<0.01–0.05) in D2 binding in several mid-brain areas (e.g. hypothalamus, thalamus and hippocampus) and hindbrain regions (e.g. superior colliculus and nucleus tractus solitarius) without affecting the D1 binding. These data indicate that chronic modification of dietary salt intake profoundly affects the renal handling of sodium/water excretion and leads to selective up- and/or down-regulation of DA receptor subtypes in different areas of the brain. These findings may have relevance to centrally-mediated hypertension, Parkinson's disease, schizophrenia and other brain disorders involving dopamine and dopamine receptors. 相似文献
