The present experiments compared the noradrenaline and behavioural responses of inbred Maudsley reactive (MR) and non-reactive (MNRA) rats when they are exposed to the light or dark arena of a light/dark shuttle-box. Behavioural scores confirmed that both strains of rats perceived the light arena to be more aversive than the dark one. Using in vivo microdialysis, exposure to the light, but not the dark, arena was found to increase noradrenaline efflux in both the frontal cortex and the hypothalamus of MNRA and MR rats. However, whereas the increase in the frontal cortex of both strains and the hypothalamus of MR rats was transient, the hypothalamic response in MNRA rats was maintained throughout exposure to the test zone. Strain differences in activity/visit and time/visit were evident but it was not possible to discern whether this could be attributed to the strain difference in the hypothalamic noradrenaline response. Nevertheless, it remains possible that, by comparison with MR rats, the prolonged noradrenaline response in the hypothalamus of MNRA rats could contribute to their well-documented, greater resistance to aversive environmental stimuli. 相似文献

The effects of beta-adrenoceptor blockade on left ventricular beta-receptor characteristics were evaluated in the Maudsley Reactive (MR/Har) and Non-Reactive (MNRA/Har) rat strains. After propranolol infusion for one week administered by subcutaneously implanted osmotic minipumps, differences in beta-adrenoceptor-agonist interactions between strains were assessed by comparison of isoproterenol competition for [125I]iodocyanopindolol (ICYP) binding sites in crude left ventricular homogenate preparations from both strains. Propranolol exposure had no significant effect on the binding parameters investigated (Bmax, Kd, % receptors in high affinity state, IC50). In contrast to previous observations in naive animals, these experiments revealed no strain differences in the sham-implanted Maudsleys in any of the left ventricular beta-adrenoceptor parameters investigated. We hypothesize that the surgical procedures and/or presence of the plastic inserts acted as stressors in the Maudsley strains and thus altered beta-adrenoceptor function. This hypothesis is supported by the observation that exposure to another stress (footshock) also eliminated strain differences in ventricular beta-receptor binding variables. 相似文献

Uterine secretions were collected from 20 mature cows during estrus (day 0), metestrus (day 5), diestrus (day 10) and proestrus (day-1). Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and LDH isoenzymes activity were evaluated. No significant cyclic variations of LDH activity was found in the uterine secretions while the mean of the enzyme activity was higher during the estrogenic period of the cycle. The relative activity of LDH-1, LDH-2 and LDH-3 isoenzymes were higher during proestrus and estrus whereas LDH-5 activity was more important during metestrus. The LDH-3 seems to have the higher relative activity in uterine secretions of the cow. 相似文献

Pleuromeia obrutschewii Elias from Russian Island (Russkiy Ostrov, near Vladivostok) is hardly distinguishable from the European P. sternbergii (Muenster) Corda. The sporangia are adaxial, filling spoon-like depressions of the megasporophylls which have sterile tips. P. olenekensis sp. nov. from the Olenek River (northeastern Siberia) has larger sporangia and much larger megaspores with three-layered walls. The outer layer (ectexosporium) is reticulate. It is assumed that in other species this layer is lacking due to imperfect preservation. Mature megasporophylls, when shed, have a buoy-like shape and are often deposited together with cephalopod shells. This suggests a special mechanism of propagation by means of megasporophylls dispersed by water currents. The cosmopolitan distribution of Pleuromeia points to weakened climatic zonation in the Early Triassic. 相似文献

The two Type 1 (blue) copper-binding sites of caeruloplasmin were spectroscopically differentiated by the kinetic analysis of the e.p.r. spectra during the redox cycle. One blue copper, with a hyperfine splitting constant (A parallel) of 6.8 mT, which was rapidly reduced, was not reoxidized by oxygen, whereas it was reoxidized by H2O2. The other blue copper (A parallel = 5.8 mT), which was reduced slowly, was rapidly reoxidized by either oxygen or H2O2. A conformational change of the Type 2 copper was concomitant with the fast reduction of Type 1 copper, whereas its reduction occurred during the slow phase. This sequence of events was reversed in the reoxidation step, that is, the Type 2 copper reappeared rapidly as the species with altered conformation and reverted to the symmetry typical of the native state in the slow phase. The specific reaction of a blue-copper site with the H2O2 can tentatively be related to the established ability of caeruloplasmin to prevent 'oxidative' attack of proteins and lipids. 相似文献
