1. Acetylcholine reduced atrial contractions by 82.5% in guinea pig, 50.8% in rat, and 41.5% in rabbit. 2. The EC50 values for the negative inotropic effect of acetylcholine were 3.3 x 10(-7) M in rat and guinea pig atria and 4.1 x 10(-6) M in rabbit atria. 3. There was no correlation between the species differences in the negative inotropic effect of acetylcholine in atria and the density or affinity of acetylcholinesterase or muscarinic receptors. 4. Inhibition of atrial acetylcholinesterase with soman reduced the EC50 of acetylcholine three-fold in all species, but did not change the maximal inotropic effect of acetylcholine. 5. Species differences in the negative inotropic effect of acetylcholine may be caused by differences in the coupling between myocardial muscarinic receptors and the ion channels that mediate negative inotropy. 相似文献

1. The excretion of 2,4-dimethyl-6-sulphanilamidopyrimidine (sulphasomidine; Elkosin) and 4-methoxy-2-methyl-6-sulphanilamidopyrimidine (sulphamethomidine) given orally was examined in man, rhesus monkey, rabbit and rat. 2. About 70% of sulphasomidine (0.1g./kg.) is excreted mainly unchanged in the urine by these species in 24hr.; less than 15% of the dose is acetylated and there is no marked species difference in the fate of this drug. 3. Sulphamethomidine is excreted more slowly than sulphasomidine, and in the rat, rabbit and monkey the main metabolite is the N(4)-acetyl derivative. In man, only 20-30% of the dose is excreted in 24hr. and nearly 70% of this is sulphamethomidine N(1)-glucuronide, which is also excreted by the monkey but not by the rat or rabbit. There is therefore a marked species difference in the metabolism of sulphamethomidine. 4. Sulphamethomidine N(1)-glucuronide was synthesized and shown to be identical with the glucuronide isolated from monkey urine. 5. Sulphasomidine, sulphamethomidine and sulphadimethoxine (2,4-dimethoxy-6-sulphanilamidopyrimidine) were acetylated by rabbit or monkey liver homogenates. Although sulphasomidine is poorly acetylated in vivo, it is acetylated in vitro at rates comparable with those of the other two drugs. 6. The solubilities, partition coefficients and plasma-protein-binding of the drugs were measured. 7. The results are discussed. 相似文献

Glycan structures of ocular surface mucins in man,rabbit and dog display species differences 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

The composition of the mucus gel of the tear film reflects the competing needs for transparency, stability, hydration, and
protection of the ocular surface. Mucins form the macromolecular scaffolding of this hydrated gel, and glycans decorating
these glycoproteins represent a rich source of binding ligands that may both modulate microbial binding and regulate the physicochemical
characteristics of the gel. This study compares the structure of O-linked glycans derived from the ocular mucins of three
species, to determine whether the ocular surface microenvironment dictates the need for a common pattern of O-linked carbohydrate
structures. Ocular mucus aspirates were collected from healthy humans, rabbits and dogs. Mucins were purified using standard
protocols. O-glycans were released by hydrazinoloysis and subsequently analysed by a combination of HPLC, exoglycosidase digestions
and LC–MS/MS. A total of 12 different O-glycans were identified. In human ocular mucin, the majority were negatively charged
and terminated in sialic acid, whilst those from rabbit or dog were mainly neutral and terminated in α 1-2 fucose and/or α
1-3 N-acetylgalactosamine. The glycans were short: the most common structures being tetra-, tri- or disaccharides. Less elaborate
glycan structures are encountered at the ocular surface than at many other mucosal surfaces. Species-specific glycan expression
is a feature of ocular surface mucins, and has implications for their defensive properties where different microbial and environmental
challenges are encountered.

Rats of various ages (5, 11, 19, 33, 60 and 90 days) were given a single 25 mg/kg or 250 mg/kg i.p. dose of acetaminophen (APAP). Drug and metabolites in 0–5 hour urine were analyzed to examine age-related changes in acetaminophen elimination. The sulfate conjugate was the major metabolite after a 25 mg/kg dose and the percent excreted as this conjugate increased with age until 60 days. APAP-glucuronide excretion was higher in 11, 19 and 33 day old animals compared to adults indicating that this pathway was not deficient in the young rat. Differences between sexes were observed in 60 and 90-day old animals with males excreting more APAP-sulfate and less APAP-glucuronide. Excretion of APAP-mercapturate decreased with increasing age. After the 250 mg/kg dose the glucuronide conjugate was the major metabolite at all ages studied. Age-related changes in conjugate excretion were similar to those observed after the smaller dose. A higher amount of covalent binding to hepatic macromolecules occurred in 5, 11 and 19 day old rats when compared to adults. The age-related changes in acetaminophen metabolism in rats are complex and depend on dose of the drug and the sex of the animal. 相似文献

1. The comparative metabolism of the pyrrolizidine alkaloid (PA) senecionine was studied in vitro in incubations of rat, guinea pig, cow, horse, and sheep hepatic microsomes. 2. Levels of the toxic pyrrolic metabolite 6,7-dihydro-7-hydroxy-1-hydroxymethyl-5H-pyrrolizine (DHP) were higher from guinea pig incubations (39.9 nmol/mg protein) than from other species (range 0.07 to 7.5 nmol/mg); results disagree with prior studies which used nonspecific techniques and suggest that the guinea pig's resistance to certain PAs may be due to resistance to pyrrole toxicity rather than low pyrrole formation. 3. Minor differences in senecionine N-oxidation and hydrolysis existed between the various species. 相似文献

Changes in nucleotide concentrations in the erythrocytes of man, rabbit and rat during short-term storage 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The ratio, measured by high performance liquid chromatography, has been used as an indicator of stability of erythrocyte nucleotides. The nucleotides from human, rabbit and rat whole blood, but not separated erythrocytes were stable for maximum periods of 40, 20 and 15 min respectively after venepuncture. The ratios then declined rapidly from 9 to 5, 12 to 4 and 9 to 1 respectively during 2h storage at room temperature. Similar changes occurred in ratios. The relevance of these observations to metabolic studies in intact cells, nucleotide analyses in the clinical situation and comparative studies in other species is discussed. 相似文献

1. The chief sulphur-containing metabolite of styrene and sytrene oxide in the rabbit and rat is chromatographically identical with N-acetyl-S-(beta-hydroxyphenethyl)-l-cysteine and this compound is also formed, together with N-acetyl-S-phenethyl-l-cysteine, as a metabolite of phenethyl bromide. 2. The amounts of the phenethylmercapturic acid and its hydroxy derivative excreted in the urine of animals dosed with phenethyl bromide, styrene, styrene oxide, phenyl glycol, S-phenylethylcysteine and phenethylmercapturic acid have been determined. 3. Liver slices convert phenethylcysteine and phenethylmercapturic acid into N-acetyl-S-(beta-hydroxyphenethyl)-l-cysteine. 4. Methods for the determination by gas-liquid chromatography of mandelic acid and hippuric acid, which are metabolites of some of the compounds studied, are described. 相似文献

Interactions between model triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins and high-density lipoproteins in rat, rabbit and man 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
There are inverse relationships between HDL cholesterol and plasma triacylglycerol concentrations in normal and in hypertriglyceridemic individuals. To investigate the interactions between triacylglycerol-rich lipid particles and HDL, a lipid emulsion model of the triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins was prepared. When emulsion particles were incubated with rat high-density lipoproteins (HDL) in the presence of lipid transfer activity (d greater than 1.21 g/ml fractions) from rabbit or human plasma there was a rapid bi-directional exchange of cholesteryl oleate (CO) and phospholipid (PL) labels between lighter and heavier fractions of HDL and emulsion particles. The transfers of CO and PL labels between both light and heavy fractions of HDL and the emulsion particles were increased with increasing amounts of emulsion added to the incubations. Incubation with the d greater than 1.21 g/ml fraction from rat plasma resulted in only a small exchange of CO whereas PL exchange was similar to rabbit and human plasma. Retinyl palmitate label was not transferred from emulsion particles to the HDL fractions even in the presence of lipid transfer activity from rabbit or human plasma. The present study shows that the transfer protein-mediated exchanges of surface and core lipids between HDL and the triacylglycerol-rich lipoproteins are affected by the quantity of triacylglycerol-rich particles in the system. This mechanism may contribute to the inverse relationships between plasma triacylglycerol concentrations and HDL concentrations in normal and hypertriglyceridemic individuals. 相似文献

Reactive astrogliosis constitutes a major obstacle to neuronal regeneration and is characterized by rearrangement and upregulation of expression of cytoskeletal proteins, increased proliferation and hypertrophy. Many approaches have been attempted to mimic astrogliosis by inducing reactive astrocytes in vitro. Such research is usually performed using astrocytes derived from Mus musculus or Rattus norvegicus, and results compared between species on the assumption that these cells behave equivalently. Therefore, we compared reactivity between mouse and rat astrocytes in scratch wound assays to gain further insight into how comparable these cell culture models are. Proliferation and migration, as well as expression of the cytoskeletal proteins glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and vimentin, were compared by immunocytochemistry and immunoblot. Further, we investigated migration of proliferating cells by 5-ethynyl-2'-deoxyuridine staining. Substantial differences in GFAP expression and proliferation between astrocytes of the two species were found: rat astrocytes showed different cytoskeletal morphology, expressed significantly more GFAP and vimentin of different molecular size and were more proliferative than comparable mouse astrocytes. Our results suggest that rat and mouse astrocytes may respond differently to various reactivity-triggering stimuli, which needs to be considered when general conclusions are drawn regarding effects of factors regulating astrocyte reactivity. 相似文献

Rabbit alpha 1-microglobulin was purified from the urine of sodium-chromate-treated animals by the use of gel chromatography on Sephadex G-100, affinity chromatography on concanavalin-A--Sepharose and ion-exchange chromatography on DEAE-Sephadex. Rabbit alpha 1-microglobulin had a molecular mass of 25.6 kDa on SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. Alpha 1-microglobulin has previously been purified from the urine of humans, guinea-pigs and rats by similar methods, and the molecular masses of the four homologues were compared by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and gel chromatography in a denaturing medium. By these two methods the human homologue was 6 kDa and 3 kDa larger, respectively, than the other three proteins. Endoglycosidase F digestion of alpha 1-microglobulin, followed by SDS/polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, revealed three protein bands in the human alpha 1-microglobulin sample, and only two bands in guinea-pig, rat and rabbit alpha 1-microglobulin, with a gap between each band of 2.6--2.9 kDa. The amino-terminal amino acid sequences of the four homologues were determined and between 72% and 81% homology was seen. The five amino-terminal amino acids present in the other species were missing in guinea-pig alpha 1-microglobulin. Our results indicate that human alpha 1-microglobulin is substituted with two N-linked oligosaccharides, while only one is attached to each of the other alpha 1-microglobulins, and that the extra glycosylamine-linked oligosaccharide in the human protein is attached to asparagine in position 17. Finally it is shown that all four homologues inhibit antigen stimulation of human lymphocytes, a finding which is consistent with our previous suggestion that the N-linked oligosaccharides carry the immunosuppressive activity of alpha 1-microglobulin. 相似文献

The metabolism of benzoic acid to hippuric acid and benzoyl glucuronide has been studied in viable hepatocytes and renal tubule fragments from two species of omnivores (rat, hamster) and two species of carnivores (ferret, dog). Hippuric acid formation was detected in hepatocytes and tubules from omnivores but was not detectable in hepatocytes from the two carnivore species. High levels of hippuric acid were produced in the tubules from the carnivores. A small amount of glucuronidation occured in hepatocytes of all these species tested and in the carnivores this reaction was the predominant pathway of benzoic acid metabolism. These results indicated that the marked species differences in patterns of benzoic acid conjugation are related to differences in the ability of liver and kidney cells to carry out glycine and glucuronic acid conjugation. 相似文献
