Summary Calcitonin-like immunoreactivity has been found with the peroxidase-anti-peroxidase (PAP) method in cells of the epithelium of the alimentary tract as well as in nerve cells and nerve fibers in the connective tissue underlying the epithelium of the alimentary tract of Ciona intestinalis L. The nature of these cells is discussed with reference to endocrine-like cells found in the alimentary tract of other protochordates and to the possible dual role of calcitonin occurring in the gastroenteropancreatic system, on the one hand, and in the nervous system, on the other. 相似文献

A detailed investigation of the distribution pattern of acid phosphatase in the different parts of alimentary canal and associated glands of Colisa fasciatus, Macrognathus aculeatus, Notopterus notopterus and Nandus nandus has been made. Though this enzyme shows its hydrolytic activity in all the parts of the digestive system yet its intense activity has been noted in the intestine, pyloric caeca, liver and pancreas of all the 4 fishes. Mucosal and submucosal layers of all the parts of the alimentary canal are the main seat of localization of this enzyme. 相似文献

Possible sources of cytotoxicity of xenobiotics and main mechanisms of realization of their damaging effect are briefly considered. Protective system of a cell is characterized with regard for the peculiarities essential for development of principles of alimentary prophylaxis of cytotoxic effects of foreign compounds. Modern approaches to alimentary modification of the processes of biotransformation of xenobiotics and promotion of protective capacities of a cell are discussed. 相似文献

Age dynamics of evoked potentials (EPs) of Wulst area of the dorsal hyperstriatum (functional analogue of mammalian visual cortex) was investigated in 2-7 days old nestlings. EPs in response to light stimuli, with the duration and intensity imitating natural alimentary signals for 5-7 days-old nestlings, were recorded parallel with the behaviour. It was found that the development of the visual system in precocious nestlings became completed in postembryonal ontogenesis. The most essential changes in the parameters of visual EPs occur between 2.5 and 4 days of nest life. By the end of the 4-th day the EPs parameters resemble those of the definite EPs. During the same period the visually directed form of the alimentary behaviour appears for the first time. Both the visual EPs and the visually directed alimentary behaviour first appear in the ontogenesis in response to the second component of two-fold luminosity change--the natural signal of alimentary behaviour. 相似文献

It was shown in the mathematical model described elsewhere that when growth rate of the chicks is maximized and not constrained by the food availability, the optimal relationship between body mass and alimentary tract mass should conform to a single straight line, or two-, or three-segmented straight lines. Here, we present the data on growth of 11 bird species, and we test the model using the mass of intestines as an indicator of growth of the alimentary tract. The results support the predictions of the model for altricial species and contradict them for precocials. Since precocial species examined here were not food-limited, we suggest that the lack of optimal growth of their alimentary tract is inherent to their mode of development. This may account for their lower growth rate, as compared to altricials. The existence of the optimal growth of the alimentary tract in altricial nestlings suggests that under natural conditions the food is much more abundant than it is generally assumed. 相似文献

1. A precocious development of UDP-glucuronosyltransferase activity (EC 2.4.1.17) towards o-aminophenol is demonstrated in 15-17 day foetal rat liver in utero after dexamethasone administration to the mother. 2. This stimulation of liver transferase activity in utero is directly proportional to the dose of dexamethasone infected. 3. Precocious development of transferase activity in utero can also be effected with the natural glucocorticoid cortisol by multiple injections of large amounts of this hormone into the mother. 4. Transferase activity towards o-aminophenolin foetal lung, kidney and upper alimentary tract can also be precociously stimulated by dexamethasone in 17-day foetuses in utero. 5. Natural development of hepatic transferase activity between days 18 and 20 of gestation is retarded after foetal hypophysectomy by decapitation in utero. 6. Overall glucuronidation of o-aminophenol, as observed in foetal rat liver, is also precociously stimulated by dexamethasone. 7. From this and from evidence previously presented we suggest that glucocorticoids, which are known to increase in rat foetuses between days 17 and 20 of gestation, trigger the normal development in utero of hepatic transferase activity towards o-aminophenol which occurs at that time. We also suggest that these hormones are responsible for the rise in activity of the enzyme in foetal lung, kidney and upper alimentary tract which occurs during the same gestational period. 相似文献

The experiments have been carried out on 6 dogs with type II conditioned alimentary reaction. After achieving the criterion in all animals the dorsomedial thalamic nucleus was destroyed by means of electrocoagulation. After the operation hypophagia developed with a rise in the number of intertrial responses and disinhibition of the alimentary conditioned reaction not exceeding 6 days. The obtained results confirm in part the hypothesis of Brutkowski who regarded this nucleus as belonging to a system controlling feeding behavior. 相似文献

The alimentary system of Habrotrocha rosa is composed of the alimentary channel, five digestive glands and another gland which is in close relation to the intestinal syncytium. After the present investigation, the alimentary channel can be divided into sections which clearly differ from each other, these are: oral cavity, pharynx, oesophagus, mastax, stomach-hose, syncytium of intestine, and terminal intestine. 相似文献

Oestrid flies (Diptera: Oestridae) do not feed during the adult stage as they acquire all necessary nutrients during the parasitic larval stage. The adult mouthparts and digestive tract are therefore frequently vestigial; however, morphological data on the alimentary canal in adult oestrid flies are scarce and a proper visualization of this organ system within the adult body is lacking. The present work visualizes the morphology of the alimentary canal in adults of two oestrid species, Oestrus ovis L. and Hypoderma lineatum (de Villiers), with the use of non‐invasive micro‐computed tomography (micro‐CT) and compares it with the highly developed alimentary canal of the blow fly Calliphora vicina Robineau‐Desvoidy (Diptera: Calliphoridae). Both O. ovis and H. lineatum adults showed significant reductions of the cardia and the diameter of the digestive tract, an absence of the helicoidal portion of the midgut typical of other cyclorrhaphous flies, and a lack of crop and salivary glands. Given the current interest in the alimentary canal in adult dipterans in biomedical and developmental biology studies, further understanding of the morphology and development of this organ system in adult oestrids may provide valuable new insights in several areas of research. 相似文献

PAR-2 (protease-activated receptor 2), a G-protein-coupled receptor activated by certain serine proteases such as trypsin and tryptase, is now considered a physiologically important molecule and also a novel target for drug development. PAR-2 is widely distributed in the mammalian body, especially throughout the alimentary system. PAR-2 plays various roles in the alimentary, circulatory, respiratory and neuronal systems. In the gastric mucosa, PAR-2 modulates multiple functions and exerts mucosal cytoprotection mainly by activating sensory neurons. Thus, PAR-2 would appear to be a therapeutic target for treatment of gastric mucosal injury. Agonists and/or antagonists for PAR-2 might also be applicable to the clinical treatment of patients with inflammatory diseases in other organs. 相似文献

The influences of different parts of the neocortex on the rabbit alimentary behaviour produced by stimulation of the hypothalamic "alimentary centre" were studied in chronic experiments on rabbits with electrodes implanted in different formations of the limbic system and the midbrain. It has been found that electrical stimulation of the frontal and anterior parietal cortical areas raised the threshold of the evoked alimentary reaction. Inhibitory influences of the frontal areas proved to be stronger and more prolonged than those of the anterior parietal area. Electrical stimulation of the posterior parietal and occipital cortical areas decreased the threshold of the evoked alimentary reaction. Coagulation of the dorsal hippocampus eliminated the inhibitory influences of the neocortex, while coagulation of the mesencephalic reticular formation discontinued the facilitating influences of the neocortex on the alimentary reaction. 相似文献

The morphology and histology, as well as the cytochemistry of complex carbohydrates, of the digestive system of Crypturellus tataupa (tataupa tinamou), Nothoprocta cinerascens (brushland tinamou), and Nothura maculosa (spotted tinamou) are described. The general morphology of the digestive system of these birds follows the basic model of the avian alimentary canal, although statistical analysis shows that the lengths of the organs are significantly different among the species. From cephalic to caudal regions the alimentary tract consists of esophagus, ingluvies or crop, proventriculus or glandular stomach, ventriculus or muscular stomach, small intestine, well-developed ceca, and rectum. Histologically, each section of the tract consists of four primary tissue layers: mucosa, submucosa, muscularis, and adventitia. Variations are found in the thickness of the esophageal epithelium, which shows the highest value in C. tataupa. In the proventriculus, the depth of the compound glands is greatest in N. cinerascens. The villi of the epithelial cells in the small intestine are most extensively developed in C. tataupa. Heterogeneity of mucins is detected not only in the surface coat of the alimentary tract but in the cellular content of the glands as well. Comparisons with the morphology of the digestive system of closely related and more advanced birds are made, and the possible relationship between morphological and cytochemical variation and the diet is discussed. © 1996 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

An examination of the occurrence and distribution of phthalate esters in the alimentary canal of a polyhybrid of Tilapia gave evidence of different and selective patterns of distribution in the organ tissues: the phthalate esters were shown to be concentrated in the stomach and anterior intestine. The restricted distribution of phthalate esters can have implications for the physiology of the digestive system. The phthalates, stored in the oxyntic cells of the gastric tubular glands, probably interfere with the digestive process. The strategic location of the enterocytes in the anterior intestine implies that they can hamper the reabsorption of digestion products. The endocrine disrupting effects known for these chemicals are probably related to the absorption of them via the alimentary canal. 相似文献

Molecular tools have revealed wide microbial diversity in the human alimentary tract. Most intestinal microorganisms have not been cultured and the in situ functions of distinct groups of the intestinal microbiota are largely unknown but pivotal to understanding the role of these microorganisms in health and disease. Promising strategies to gain more insight into the functionality of the complex microbial communities in the human alimentary tract, including fermentation processes in the colon, are discussed. These research approaches could provide a basis for the definition of a healthy gut based on key properties of microbial functionality. This will also enable the development of direct nutritional strategies for intestinal disease prevention and health promotion. 相似文献

The physiology of digestion in fish larvae 总被引:22,自引:0,他引:22

Synopsis The acquisition, digestion, and assimilation of food is critical for the growth and survival of fish larvae; a fish larva either grows or it perishes. Fish larvae are characterized by digestive systems and diets that differ from adults. Larvae undergo a pattern of trophic ontogeny, changing diet with increasing size, and these changes result in differences in digestive requirements. At first feeding, the larval alimentary canal is functional, but is structurally and functionally less complex than that of adults. The larval alimentary canal remains unchanged histologically during the larval period before transformation. During transformation, major changes that result in the development of the adult alimentary canal occur. The ontogeny of the alimentary canal differs in different taxa, and experimental evidence suggests that functional differences exist as well. Assimilation efficiency may be lower in larvae than it is in adult fishes, due to a lack of a morphological and functional stomach in larvae, but the question of improving assimilation efficiencies during larval development before transformation remains unresolved. 相似文献

The alimentary tract of the ammocoete of the lamprey, Petromyzon marinus L., is divisible into three morphologically distinct regions: the oesophagus, the anterior intestine, and the posterior intestine. The epithelium of the oesophagus possesses mucous, ciliated, and columnar cells and appears to be specialized for movement of food particles. The epithelium of the anterior intestine possesses secretory cells with numerous zymogen granules, ciliated cells, and columnar-absorptive cells. Although some absorption occurs in the anterior intestine, the main function of this region seems to be the release of digestive enzymes and the continued movement of food particles. The epithelium of the posterior intestine is entirely comprised of columnar absorptive cells, namely tall (light and dark) columnar and low columnar, and the primary function of this region is one of absorption. The epithelium of the hindgut resembles that of the archinephric duct (Youson and McMillan, '71). The morphology of the alimentary tract of ammocoetes suggests that some differentiation and renewal of cell types may occur in the epithelium of the three regions. Comparison of the alimentary tract of larval lamprey with that of other vertebrates indicates that the gut of the ammocoete represents a less specialized level of vertebrate development. 相似文献

A decrease of intensity of fluorescence of dopaminergic terminals in the nigrostriate and mesolimbic systems of rats was revealed under alimentary deprivation and during conditioned alimentary reaction. This decrease detected against the background of catecholamines synthesis blockade (alpha-methyl-para-thyrosine 40 and 80 mg/kg intraperitoneally) testifies to an activation of dopaminergic terminals and participation of nigrostriate and mesolimbic systems in conditioned alimentary reaction. 相似文献

Light microscopic autoradiography with 3H-thymidine demonstrates that the three regions of the alimentary tract in the larval (ammocoete) lamprey, Petromyzon marinus L., possess different patterns for renewing their epithelium. In the oesophagus, columnar and mucous cells originate from stem cells located at the bases of folds and migrate to the tops of the folds where they are apparently extruded. Ciliated cells, located only at the tops of the folds, seem to differentiate from migrating columnar cells. In the anterior intestine, stem cells are present throughout the epithelium so that there is limited migration of cells and their extrusion occurs randomly. In the posterior intestine, the stem cells located at the bases of the typhlosole provide a continuous population that differentiates and migrates to the top of the typhlosole and to the opposite epithelial wall where they are presumably extruded. The rates of cell renewal in all three epithelial regions of the alimentary tract are slower in animals maintained at 10 ± 1°C compared with those kept at 21 ± 1°C. Comparatively, ammocoetes have the least specialized system for cell renewal known in the alimentary tract of a vertebrate. 相似文献

A polystiliferous hoplonemertean, Curranemertes natans gen. et sp.n., is described from Venezuela where it was found on corals in shallow water. It is the third species of reptantic Polystilifera known from the Caribbean Sea. Anatomically the new species shows affinities to the genera Punnettia, Polyschista , and Drepanophorina , but because of differences in the nervous system, cerebral organs, and alimentary tract, a new genus is proposed for it. 相似文献

Hedgehog信号通路在胚胎发育过程中发挥着重要作用, 同时与多种肿瘤的发生密切相关。Rab23蛋白在Hedgehog信号通路中扮演着十分重要的角色。目前关于文昌鱼Rab23同源基因的研究仅局限于佛罗里达文昌鱼(Branchiostoma floridae)基因组中的注释。文章首次克隆了中国文昌鱼(Branchiostoma belcheri) Rab23b基因 (AmphiRab23b)cDNA全序列 , 对其演译的蛋白序列进行了序列比对、进化树分析以及基因时空表达分析。研究结果显示, 文昌鱼AmphiRab23b基因的 cDNA总长为2 062 bp (包括UTR区), 其中开放阅读框 (Open reading frame, ORF) 714 bp, 编码237个氨基酸; 虽然在进化树中不属于脊椎动物Rab23进化支, 但是AmphiRab23具有保守的Rab23_lke结构域, 暗示该基因在进化过程中可能在功能上是保守的。时空表达的研究结果进一步显示, AmphiRab23b基因在胚胎发育中的神经板和消化道中表达, 与其脊椎动物同源基因的表达模式相似, 这说明该基因可能对文昌鱼神经系统和消化道的发育有重要作用。 相似文献
