We measured hormonal levels in blood samples from pulmonary and radial arteries in 117 patients undergoing aorto-coronary by-pass surgery with the aim of investigating the role of the pulmonary vessel endothelium in hormone metabolism. Insulin and glucagon concentrations were significantly higher in pulmonary artery blood with respect to radial artery blood (73 +/- 65 vs. 65 +/- 47 pmol/l, p < 0.005, and 80 +/- 49 vs. 73 +/- 51 ng/l, p < 0.01, respectively), while no difference was found for growth hormone, prolactin, C peptide, insulin-like growth factor I, follicle stimulating hormone, luteinizing hormone, thyroid stimulating hormone, parathyroid hormone, thyroglobulin, triiodothyronine, thyroxine, free triiodothyronine, and free thyroxine. Moreover, prolactin concentrations were more than twice the normal levels, this being an effect of propafol and the opiate fentanyl used for the general anesthesia. Assuming that the arteriovenous differences observed are a marker of peptide hormone degradation, our study has demonstrated that with similar kinetics insulin and glucagon secreted into portal circulation and escaping from hepatic extraction undergo further homeostatic removal of about 9-10 % in the pulmonary circulation before entering the general circulation. 相似文献

The effects of insulin and the somatomedins on differentiation of rat myoblasts were investigated in experiments on cells cloned from Yaffe's L6 line. Incubation for 48 hr with either insulin or Temin's multiplication stimulating activity (MSA), a member of the somatomedin family, caused a dramatic increase in myoblast fusion. This stimulation of differentiation is not a simple consequence of the increased cell density resulting from the effects of these hormones on myoblast proliferation, and the increase in fusion is not an effect common to all mitogens (FGF inhibits the process). Other somatomedins (human somatomedin C and insulin-like growth factor I), were as effective as MSA in stimulating differentiation. The somatomedins were active at concentrations in the range of their levels in fetal blood, in contrast to insulin, which was inactive at concentrations below 10?7, M. Growth hormone (GH) had no effect on muscle differentiation. In serum-free medium MM-1 (in which myoblasts maintain apparently normal morphology and metabolic activity), the very high levels of insulin required to stimulate differentiation could be replaced entirely by physiological levels (1.0 μg/ml) of MSA, further supporting our view that insulin at high concentrations serves primarily as an analogue of the somatomedins in stimulating the growth and development of muscle cells. 相似文献

The effects of somatostatin, insulin, insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I), and insulin-like growth factor II (IGF-II)/MSA on growth hormone (GH) (1 microgram/ml)-induced lipolysis were examined employing chicken adipose tissue in vitro. Basal and GH-stimulated glycerol release were inhibited by somatostatin (1 ng/ml) and by IGF-II/MSA (10 and 100 ng/ml). Insulin and IGF-I (10 and 100 ng/ml) completely inhibited the lipolytic response to GH without affecting basal glycerol release. Insulin and IGF-I were equipotent in inhibiting GH-induced lipolysis while IGF-II is only 16% as potent as insulin. 相似文献

Most biological actions of growth hormone (GH) are mediated by the insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) that is produced after the interaction of the hormone with a specific cell surface receptor, the GH receptor (GHR). Even though the GH excess on fish metabolism is poorly known, several species have been genetically engineered for this hormone in order to improve growth for aquaculture. In some GH-transgenic fish growth has been dramatically increased, while in others high levels of transgene expression have shown inhibition of the growth response. In this study, we used for the first time different genotypes (hemizygous and homozygous) of a GH-transgenic zebrafish (Danio rerio) lineage as a model for studying the GH resistance induced by different GH transgene expression levels. The results obtained here demonstrated that homozygous fish did not grow as expected and have a lower condition factor, which implies a catabolic state. These findings are explained by a decreased IGF-I and GHR gene expression as a consequence of GH resistance. Together, our results demonstrated that homozygous GH-transgenic fish showed similar characteristics to the starvation-induced fish and could be an interesting model for studying the regulation of the GH/GHR/IGF-I axis in fish. 相似文献

Obesity blunts catecholamine and growth hormone (GH) responses to exercise in adults, but the effect of obesity on these exercise-associated hormonal responses in children is unclear. Therefore, the aim of the present study was to asses the effect of childhood obesity on the counterregulatory hormonal response to acute exercise. Twenty-five obese children (Ob; body mass index > 95%), and 25 age, gender, and maturity-matched normal-weight controls (NW) participated in the study. Exercise consisted of ten 2-min bouts of constant-cycle ergometry above the anaerobic threshold, with 1-min rest intervals between each bout. Pre-, post-, and 120-min postexercise blood samples were collected for circulating components of the GH-IGF-I axis and catecholamines. There were no differences in peak exercise heart rate, serum lactate, and peak O2 uptake normalized to lean body mass between the groups. Obesity attenuated the GH response to exercise (8.9 +/- 1.1 vs. 3.4 +/- 0.7 ng/ml in NW and Ob participants, respectively; P < 0.02). No significant differences in the response to exercise were found for other components of the GH-IGF-I axis. Obesity attenuated the catecholamine response to exercise (epinephrine: 52.5 +/- 12.7 vs. 18.7 +/- 3.7 pg/ml, P < 0.02; norepinephrine: 479.5 +/- 109.9 vs. 218.0 +/- 26.0 pg/ml, P < 0.04; dopamine: 17.2 +/- 2.9 vs. 3.5 +/- 1.9 pg/ml, P < 0.006 in NW and Ob, respectively). Insulin levels were significantly higher in the obese children and dropped significantly after exercise in both groups. Despite the elevated insulin levels and the blunted counterregulatory response, none of the participants developed hypoglycemia. Childhood obesity was associated with attenuated GH and catecholamine response to acute exercise. These abnormalities were compensated for, so that exercise was not associated with hypoglycemia, despite increased insulin levels in obese children. 相似文献

Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus is a freshwater fish but can tolerate a wide range of salinities. The mechanism of salinity adaptation at the molecular level was studied using RNA-Seq to explore the molecular pathways in fish exposed to 0, 8, or 16 (practical salinity unit, psu). Based on the change of gene expressions, the differential genes unions from freshwater to saline water were classified into three categories. In the constant change category (1), steroid biosynthesis, steroid hormone biosynthesis, fat digestion and absorption, complement and coagulation cascades were significantly affected by salinity indicating the pivotal roles of sterol-related pathways in response to salinity stress. In the change-then-stable category (2), ribosomes, oxidative phosphorylation, signaling pathways for peroxisome proliferator activated receptors, and fat digestion and absorption changed significantly with increasing salinity, showing sensitivity to salinity variation in the environment and a responding threshold to salinity change. In the stable-then-change category (3), protein export, protein processing in endoplasmic reticulum, tight junction, thyroid hormone synthesis, antigen processing and presentation, glycolysis/gluconeogenesis and glycosaminoglycan biosynthesis—keratan sulfate were the significantly changed pathways, suggesting that these pathways were less sensitive to salinity variation. This study reveals fundamental mechanism of the molecular response to salinity adaptation in O. niloticus, and provides a general guidance to understand saline acclimation in O. niloticus. 相似文献

To investigate the role played by factors other than GH, such as nutrients and insulin, on IGF-I secretion, adult male rats of 200 g.b.w. were food-restricted for 7 days and then made diabetic by streptozotocin administration (UD). Different groups of UD rats were submitted to the following four day treatments: left untreated (UD), refed (UD+R), treated with insulin (UD+I), or a combination of both refeeding and insulin (UD+R+I). Serum concentration of IGF-I and liver mRNA expression of IGF-I, IGF-binding proteins and GH receptor were measured. Insulin treatment alone partially recovered liver IGF-I and IGFBPs mRNA expression, while refeeding alone had no effect. Only a combination of both insulin and refeeding recovered both parameters. Contrary to the results obtained with a longer period of recovery, these experiments show that serum and mRNA expression of IGF-I and IGFBPs in adult undernourished diabetic rats can be restored by insulin and nutrients administration with no prior restoration of serum and pituitary GH to control values and no compensatory changes in GH receptor gene expression. 相似文献

A novel role of growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor-I. Priming neutrophils for superoxide anion secretion. 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6

Growth hormone (GH) and the GH-dependent growth promoting peptide, insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I), are both potent signals for priming human and porcine polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) to secrete superoxide anion (O2-). PMA, opsonized-zymosan, or FMLP could all be used as triggering stimuli to demonstrate priming by GH or IGF-I. As positive controls, IFN-gamma and LPS also primed both human and porcine PMN for enhanced O2- release. However, only the LPS-mediated enhancement was inhibited by polymyxin B, which demonstrates that the priming induced by GH, IGF-I, or IFN-gamma was not caused by LPS contamination. Furthermore, a specific antibody to GH abrogated priming induced by this molecule. In contrast to IGF-I, the closely related molecule insulin was unable to prime PMN even at pharmacologic levels. Insulin, at pharmacologic levels, antagonized the priming mediated by IGF-I but had no effect on GH priming. A mAb directed against the human IGF-I receptor blocked the enhanced secretion of O2- by human PMN that was caused by IGF-I, but not GH, indicating that neutrophil priming induced by GH was not mediated by inducing extracellular release of IGF-I. However, priming PMN by both GH and IGF-I required de novo protein synthesis, because cycloheximide completely abrogated enhanced O2- secretion that was caused by these growth factors. These data show that a classic pituitary hormone (GH), as well as its widely recognized growth promoting peptide (IGF-I), are involved in regulating an important functional activity of both porcine and human PMN. Inasmuch as GH and IGF-I have recently been demonstrated to be synthesized by leukocytes, these data support the possibility that both of these proteins could act in a paracrine fashion as cytokines to prime PMN for an enhanced respiratory burst. 相似文献

The importance of insulin for the in vivo effects of growth hormone (GH) on lipid and lipoprotein metabolism was investigated by examining the effects of GH treatment of hypophysectomized (Hx) female rats with and without concomitant insulin treatment. Hypophysectomy-induced changes of HDL, apolipoprotein (apo)E, LDL, and apoB levels were normalized by GH treatment but not affected by insulin treatment. The hepatic triglyceride secretion rate was lower in Hx rats than in normal rats and increased by GH treatment. This effect of GH was blunted by insulin treatment. The triglyceride content in the liver changed in parallel with the changes in triglyceride secretion rate, indicating that the effect of the hormones on triglyceride secretion was dependent on changed availability of triglycerides for VLDL assembly. GH and insulin independently increased editing of apoB mRNA, but the effects were not additive. The expression of fatty-acid synthase (FAS), stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1 (SCD-1), and sterol regulatory element-binding protein-1c (SREBP-1c) was increased by GH treatment. Insulin and GH had no additive effects on these genes; instead, insulin blunted the effect of GH on SREBP-1c mRNA. In contrast to the liver, adipose tissue expression of SREBP-1c, FAS, or SCD-1 mRNA was not influenced by GH. In conclusion, the increased hepatic expression of lipogenic enzymes after GH treatment may be explained by increased expression of SREBP-1c. Insulin does not mediate the effects of GH but inhibits the stimulatory effect of GH on hepatic SREBP-1c expression and triglyceride secretion rate. 相似文献

Although clinically undistinguishable, some authors have found important differences in the counterregulatory response between Biosynthetic Human Insulin (BHI) and Purified Pork Insulin (PPI). To reassess the problem 10 healthy volunteers of both sexes underwent paired iv insulin tolerance test with both BHI and PPI (0.10 U/kg b.w.). To check the humoral response the variations of glucose, free fatty acids (FFA), prolactin, growth hormone, ACTH and plasma renin activity were evaluated. Blood glucose depression and further recovery by BHI and PPI administration paralleled each other, so were, prolactin, FFA, and plasma renin activity. A slight section of ACTH, and GH was observed under BHI challenge. There were not statistically significant differences between both insulins on any of the six parameters studied. The data do not confirm earlier published reports indicating hormonal and metabolic differences between human and porcine insulin. 相似文献

Survival, competition, growth and reproductive success in fishes are highly dependent on food intake, food availability and feeding behavior and are all influenced by a complex set of metabolic and neuroendocrine mechanisms. Overexpression of growth hormone (GH) in transgenic fish can result in greatly enhanced growth rates, feed conversion, feeding motivation and food intake. The objectives of this study were to compare seasonal feeding behavior of non-transgenic wild-type (NT) and GH-transgenic (T) coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch), and to examine the effects of intraperitoneal injections of the appetite-regulating peptides cholecystokinin (CCK-8), bombesin (BBS), glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), and alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) on feeding behavior. T salmon fed consistently across all seasons, whereas NT dramatically reduced their food intake in winter, indicating the seasonal regulation of appetite can be altered by overexpression of GH in T fish. Intraperitoneal injections of CCK-8 and BBS caused a significant and rapid decrease in food intake for both genotypes. Treatment with either GLP-1 or α-MSH resulted in a significant suppression of food intake for NT but had no effect in T coho salmon. The differential response of T and NT fish to α-MSH is consistent with the melanocortin-4 receptor system being a significant pathway by which GH acts to stimulate appetite. Taken together, these results suggest that chronically increased levels of GH alter feeding regulatory pathways to different extents for individual peptides, and that altered feeding behavior in transgenic coho salmon may arise, in part, from changes in sensitivity to peripheral appetite-regulating signals. 相似文献

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Recent studies have revealed that circulating ghrelin levels seem to play a role in energy homeostasis. The effect of hyperthyroidism on ghrelin levels is not fully known. METHODS: Serum levels of ghrelin and its relationship with insulin resistance were evaluated in 48 patients with hyperthyroidism and 43 euthyroid healthy controls. Thyroid hormones, insulin, glucose, ghrelin levels and lipid parameters were measured in all subjects. Insulin sensitivity was determined using the homeostasis model assessment. RESULTS: Serum ghrelin levels were significantly decreased in hyperthyroid patients than in controls (32.5 +/- 23.3 vs. 54.1 +/- 35.5 pg/ml, p < 0.001). Circulating ghrelin levels significantly correlated with age (r = -0.26, p = 0.01), fasting glucose (r = -0.21, p = 0.01), free triiodothyronine (r = -0.18, p = 0.04), free thyroxine (r = -0.23, p = 0.02) and thyroid stimulating hormone (r = 0.21, p = 0.04), but not with blood pressure, body mass index, lipid parameters, insulin and homeostasis model assessment (p > 0.05). Multiple regression analysis revealed glucose level to be the most important predictor of circulating ghrelin level. CONCLUSION: These results indicate that hyperthyroidism has effect on serum ghrelin levels. Further studies are needed for the exact mechanism. 相似文献

Maternal and fetal concentrations of plasma insulin, pancreatic glucagon, growth hormone (GH), corticosteroids and enteroglucagon, and of blood glucose and lactate, were measured in well-fed, late pregnant ewes before, during and after walking on a treadmill at 0.7 m.s-1, 10 degrees slope for 60 min. Exercise caused rapid and substantial increases in maternal concentrations of glucose, lactate, pancreatic glucagon and corticosteroids, smaller but significant decreases in levels of GH and enteroglucagon, and no change in insulin. With the exception of GH, concentrations of these maternal hormones had returned to pre-exercise levels within 20 min of stopping exercise. The exercise-induced maternal hyperglycaemia was associated with a proportionately similar, rapid increase in fetal blood glucose; fetal blood lactate and plasma corticosteroids also increased, but at slower rates and other fetal hormone concentrations were unchanged. During recovery there was a rapid increase in fetal insulin levels. The results are discussed in terms of the regulation of exercise-induced changes in maternal energy metabolism, and fetal metabolic and hormonal sensitivity to these changes. 相似文献

The hormonal stimulus to rat fetal and neonatal somatic and skeletal growth has been investigated by a study of ciruclating somatomedin (SM), growth hormone (GH) and insulin levels in rats from 21 days in utero to 40 days of post natal life. Somatomedin activity could not be detected in the serum of fetal rats in which circulating GH and insulin levels were high. In early post natal life GH and insulin levels remained high but gradually declined reaching normal adult levels at 19 days and 40 days respectively. Somatomedin activity was measurable only at low levels until 11 days after birth and thereafter remained steady throughout the time period studied. These studies suggest that somatomedin alone is not responsible for the rapid growth of the rat in early neonatal life and it is suggested that insulin may also be active as a growth factor in this period. 相似文献

Manganese (Mn) is an essential element required for normal development and reproduction. However, little is known about the reproductive toxicity of Mn in birds. To investigate the Mn-induced toxicity on testicular trace element levels and crucial hormonal parameters on male reproduction in birds, 50-day-old male Hyline cocks were fed either a commercial diet or a Mn-supplemented diet. The changes in contents of copper (Cu), iron (Fe), zinc (Zn), and calcium (Ca) in testis were detected. Hormonal parameters were evaluated including the levels of testosterone (T), luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), triiodothyronine (T3), and thyroxine (T4) in the serum. The mRNA levels of luteinizing hormone receptor (LHR) and follicle-stimulating hormone receptor (FSHR) were determined in this study. The results showed that Mn was accumulated in testis, and the content of Cu, Fe, Zn, and Ca decreased. Exposure to Mn significantly lowered the content of T, LH, FSH, and the mRNA expression levels of LHR and FSHR. Levels of T3 and T4 appeared with a decreased tendency, and TSH presented no obvious regularity. It indicated that Mn exposure resulted in the disbalance of testicular trace elements and influenced hormone levels in the molecular level, which may be possible underlying reproductive toxicity mechanism induced by Mn. 相似文献

Circulating levels of growth hormone (GH), insulin, and glucose were measured at hourly intervals during a 24 h period to establish the diurnal rhythm of these hormones in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). There was no statistically significant correlation between circulating GH levels and pituitary GH content. Serum GH appeared to be higher at night in female SHR and higher during day-light hrs in male SHR. GH levels fluctuated considerably, whereas insulin levels showed much less diurnal variation. Although there was no statistically significant correlation between blood glucose and insulin levels, glucose levels rose and fell considerably during the 24 hr period with a definite decline in blood glucose during the nocturnal hyperactivity observed in SHR. These findings are of interest in that SHR have giant-sized islets of Langerhans, develop hyperglycemia spontaneously, and are growth-retarded compared to most normotensive strains of rat. 相似文献
