The acute phase protein response following inflammation is associated with an increased total protein-bound carbohydrate content in plasma in the form of glycoproteins. Glycosyltransferases in liver may serve as a regulator of this increased glycosylation activity in the plasma and may also serve as a marker for the acute phase response. Sialyltransferase is an example of a glycosyltransferases in which sialic acid is transferred to oligosaccharides of glycopeptides in the Golgi prior to glycopeptide secretion. In this study, sialyltransferase activities were determined in plasma, liver, and intestinal mucosa following a standardized 25% body surface area thermal injury in the rat. A statistically significant increase in sialyltransferase activity was found in liver and small intestine which were maximal at 24 hours after the injury. These increased sialyltransferase activities were accompanied by a statistically significant 2 to 4 fold elevation in plasma sialyltransferase activity at 24 hours. The plasma and liver elevations in these activities were similar to elevations seen in other models of acute inflammation using turpentine injections and bacterial infections. The increased sialyltransferase activity within the rat intestine was comparable to increases in intestinal sialyltransferase activity following colchicine treatment and may represent a similar mechanism(s). 相似文献

The effect of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and turpentine on nitric oxide (NO) production were investigated in rats. Because of short half-life of NO in biological fluids, the plasma nitrite and nitrate concentrations (two stabile metabolites of NO) were measured based on Griess reaction, which is indirect assay for NO production. Injection of LPS at an intraperitoneal dose of 50 μg/kg caused a 3,5-fold increase in plasma nitrite within 3 h and nitrite levels remained significantly elevated 6, 12, and 24 h after endotoxin treatment with LPS. However, injection of turpentine at an intramuscular dose of 20 μl/rat did not alter plasma nitrite concentration at selected times after turpentine treatment (7, 10, 14, and 24 h postinjection). These results further support the hypothesis that NO is involved in pathogenesis of febrile response due to LPS in rats. Because turpentine did not change concentration of NO in plasma, the role of NO, as mediator/modulator, in development of turpentine fever appears to be controversial and needs further experimental verification. 相似文献

1. The effects of orally administered ciclosporin (40, 50 or 80 mg/kg body wt) on plasma magnesium, albumin, total cholesterol and triglycerides have been studied in male Wistar rats. 2. Plasma magnesium and albumin were significantly lower in rats dosed with ciclosporin (40, 50 or 80 mg/kg) after 14 days. 3. Variable changes of plasma cholesterol and triglycerides were observed. Some implications of the inter-relationships of magnesium, albumin and plasma lipids in ciclosporin treatment are discussed. 相似文献

It was shown in experiments on rats that burn injury is followed by microcirculatory disturbances, hemoconcentration and increasing blood viscosity that is especially pronounced in the vessels with low blood pressure. The microcirculatory changes in the mesentery correlated with the in vitro investigated dynamic viscosity and blood composition. The disturbances were more pronounced after severe burn followed by a mortal shock than after moderate burn without fatal consequences. This investigation confirms great importance of hemorheological changes and microcirculatory disturbances in the early period of burn disease. 相似文献

The level of serum beta-glucuronidase increases in various pathological conditions, including liver disorders. The aim of this investigation was to study the changes in liver lysosomal membrane stability during experimentally induced hepatic fibrosis that may result in the elevation of serum beta-glucuronidase. Liver injury was induced by intraperitoneal injections of N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in adult male albino rats over 3 weeks. The progression of fibrosis was evaluated histopathologically as well as by monitoring liver collagen content. Lipid peroxides and beta-glucuronidase levels were measured in the liver homogenate and subcellular fractions on days 0, 7, 14, and 21 after the start of NDMA administration. Serum beta-glucuronidase levels were also determined. A significant increase was observed in beta-glucuronidase levels in the serum, liver homogenate, and subcellular fractions, but not in the nuclear fraction on days 7, 14, and 21 after the start of NDMA administration. Lipid peroxides also increased in the liver homogenate and the lysosomal fraction. The measurement of lysosomal membrane stability revealed a maximum lysosomal fragility on day 21 during NDMA-induced fibrosis. In vitro studies showed that NDMA has no significant effect on liver lysosomal membrane permeability. The results of this investigation demonstrated that lysosomal fragility increases during NDMA-induced hepatic fibrosis, which could be attributed to increased lipid peroxidation of lysosomal membrane. In this study, we also elucidated the mechanism of increased beta-glucuronidase and other lysosomal glycohydrolases in the serum during hepatic fibrosis. 相似文献

Although plasma histamine concentration has been reported to increase after thermal injury in the rat to as much as 100-fold over normal human plasma levels, the pathophysiological significance and relevance to human disease is questionable. Lack of confidence in the rat as a model of histamine-mediated disease is based on reports that normal rat base-line plasma histamine concentration exceeds that of human plasma by 20- to 70-fold. The present study confirms that high concentrations of histamine (20-68.9 ng/ml) are found in rat plasma obtained in an uncontrolled manner; but concentrations are lower (1.17 +/- 0.49 ng/ml) or undetectable in a sensitive radioenzymatic assay when sampling technique and plasma isolation are controlled. The primary cause for falsely elevated values for plasma histamine concentration appeared to be due to manipulation of the rat. Plasma histamine concentration increased within 1 min after thermal injury and the increase was proportional to extent of surface area injured. In contrast to the finding of a single time-related peak of plasma histamine concentration after partial-thickness burn, a biphasic elevation was found after full-thickness injury. Thus the data indicate that normal rat plasma histamine concentration is similar to that of the human and below the reported threshold for modulation of a variety of immune responses. Furthermore, the data support a role for histamine and other mast-cell mediators in the local and systemic responses to injury. 相似文献

Total parenteral nutrition (TPN) is provided as the primary nitrogen source to manage patients with intestinal failure who were not able to sustain themselves on enteral feeds. The most common complication of long‐term TPN use is hepatitis. A proteomic approach was used to identify proteins that are differentially expressed in the plasma of rats following TPN‐related acute liver injury. Six male rats were randomly assigned to either the saline infusion control group or the TPN infusion group. Our results demonstrate that TPN infusion in rats resulted in hepatic dysfunction and hepatocyte apoptosis. Five proteins that were differentially expressed between TPN infusion and normal rats were determined and validated in vivo. Fascinatingly, the proteomic differential displays, downregulated proteins included peroxiredoxin 2 (PRDX2), alpha‐1‐antiproteinase (A1AT), and fibrinogen gamma chain (FIBG), which were involved in oxidative stress, inflammatory respondence and cells apoptosis. After TPN infusion, two protein spots showed increased expression, namely, the glucagon receptor (GLR) protein and apolipoprotein A‐1 (APOA1), which may mediate the effects of TPN administration on glycogen and lipid metabolism. In this study, proteomic analysis suggested TPN‐related acute liver injury could be involved in limiting cellular protection mechanisms against oxidative stress‐induced apoptosis. On the basis of the results, we also give molecular evidences replying TPN‐related hepatitis. 相似文献

Oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) may be a prelude to atherogenesis and directly age related. To assess whether there may be relationship between age and plasma lipoprotein (LP) oxidation, we studied copper-mediated LP oxidation isolated from the blood of 2 months, 7 months, and 15 months old rats. We determined whether the susceptibility of LP to oxidation might be related to vitamin C levels in serum, vitamin E levels in LP, or the total antioxidant capacity (TAC) of serum or LP. Serum vitamin C content was inversely related to age, malondialdehyde (MDA) propagation rate, and maximum change of MDA concentrations. However, there were no significant relationships between age and serum TAC, LP TAC, serum vitamin E, or the ratio of LP vitamin E to serum vitamin C content. The lag phase of MDA formation was significantly decreased with age and the ratio of LP vitamin E content to serum vitamin C content, increased with age. Maximum change of MDA concentration was positively correlated with the ratio of LP vitamin E contents to serum vitamin C concentration. Thus, as the rat ages, vitamin C status decreases with an increased LP susceptibility to oxidation. It is tempting to speculate that enhanced LP oxidation in older rats may reflect a reduced amount of recycling of LDL vitamin E by serum vitamin C. 相似文献

Age-related changes in plasma proteins of analbuminemic rats 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A mutant strain, Nagase analbuminemia rats (NAR), was established from Sprague-Dawley rats. Age-related changes in plasma proteins of NAR were investigated to obtain information of their abnormalities of protein metabolism. The total protein concentration in the serum of NAR of various ages was almost the same as that of normal rats of the same age. The albumin level of NAR was less than 0.05 mg/ml at all ages examined. The concentrations of serum alpha 1-antitrypsin, alpha-X protein, alpha 2-macroglobulin, transferrin, ceruloplasmin, IgG, IgA and IgM were higher in NAR than in normal rats except for the perinatal stage, but alpha 1-acid glycoprotein level in NAR was normal. The serum transferrin and ceruloplasmin levels were especially high in female adult NAR. The plasma fibrinogen concentration was also increased in NAR. These findings indicate that the normal total serum protein level of NAR was maintained by increase in the globulin concentration. 相似文献

Early effects of choline deficiency were studied in rats. Nonphospholipid ("neutral lipid") and phospholipid were measured in plasma and in three fractions of a liver homogenate: sediment, supernatant fraction, and "floating fat." A single choline-deficient meal caused significant aberrations from the typical diurnal changes observed in the lipid fractions of the controls. These changes occurred in the following sequence: (a) failure of phospholipid to increase, after feeding, in the sediment fraction; (b) increase of neutral lipid, compared with controls, exclusively in the floating fraction; and (c) failure of neutral lipid to return to control levels. The rate of accumulation of neutral lipid increased during the first 4 days of deficiency. The occurrence of NADH-cytochrome c dehydrogenase in the floating fat and the absence of succinate dehydrogenase activity point to microsomal origin of the floating fat. Early effects of choline deficiency on plasma lipids were limited to phospholipid, and occurred later than changes in the liver. Plasma nonphospholipid levels were unchanged during the first 2 days; this does not support impaired secretion or transportation of glyceride as the cause of fatty liver in the early stages of choline deficiency. 相似文献
