The main products of hydrolysis of fish by-products are hydrolysed protein and oil. The aim of this work was to study the effect of initial heat inactivation of endogenous enzymes, addition of water prior to hydrolysis, use of different commercial enzymes and combination of enzymes on the yield and purity of the protein and oil fractions after enzymatic hydrolysis of cod by-products. This study was designed to examine how all these factors were effective for destroying protein–lipid complexes in order to obtain pure oil and protein fractions and reduce the insoluble fraction. Initial heating of raw material changed both raw material properties and inactivated endogenous enzymes thereby influencing the following hydrolysis. High amount of lipids in raw material combined with initial heating caused formation of protein–lipid complexes which was found in all protein containing fractions. The main constituents of the lipids in the complexes were phospholipids and other polar lipids. Insoluble protein–lipid complexes formed lead to increased amount of sludge, reduced FPH yield and high amount of lipids in FPH. The highest amount of separated oil was obtained in the experiments after initial heating without added water. These treatments also reduce amount of emulsion, which is not a desirable product after hydrolysis. Initial heating caused denaturation of protein, which decreased their emulsifying properties. Results showed that it is not possible to obtain all desirable quality indicators such as: maximum oil and FPH yield, minimum emulsion and sludge yield and the highest protein recovery in FPH with the lowest amount of lipids in FPH fraction by using only one hydrolysis process. Therefore, the aim and requirements for the final products should be prioritised and defined very clearly before the process is designed taking into account the composition of raw material. Hydrolysis of unheated raw material with Alcalase and addition of water was the best compromise taking into account the mentioned quality indicators. 相似文献

Two fish protein hydrolysates (FPH) were incorporated into four diets prepared for start-feeding sea bass larvae, at two different levels (10% and 19% of total ingredients): a commercial FPH, CPSP, in which the molecular mass of the main fraction of soluble peptides (51%) was between 500-2500 Da, and an experimental FPH obtained by acidic silage of sardine offal, SH, with a main portion of soluble peptides (54%) ranging from 200 to 500 Da. The diet with 10% of the commercial FPH gave the best results in terms of growth, survival and intestinal development, as evaluated by the early activity of digestive enzymes in the brush border membrane (alkaline phosphatase and aminopeptidase N). This was related to the low level of Vibrio spp. counted in the larvae of group C10. The high dose of FPH, especially in the experimental preparation rich in short peptides, seemed to favour the dominance of Vibrio sp. TYH3, which behaved opportunistically. The effect of the experimental FPH was ambiguous, since early larvae challenged with Vibrio anguillarum were more resistant to the pathogen, especially at high FPH dose (group S19). This might be due either to direct antagonism between V. anguillarum and Vibrio sp. TYH3, or to the stimulation of the immune response in the larvae. These results indicate that different molecular weight fractions and concentrations of feed-soluble peptides may affect the growth performance and immunological status of sea bass larvae. Consequently, a low dose of commercial FPH seems advisable, both for larval development and for the bacterial environment, although further research is required to determine and characterize peptide fractions that may have a beneficial effect on growth and immune response, and to determine their optimal inclusion levels in diets for sea bass larvae. 相似文献

Treatment of isolated amphibian ovarian follicles with frog pituitary homogenate (FPH) increases follicular progesterone levels, which, in turn, initiate oocyte maturation. Recent studies have demonstrated that follicular progesterone production requires concomitant protein synthesis at some stage preceding pregnenolone formation. Experiments were carried out to determine whether cholesterol metabolism plays a role in mediating these biochemical and physiological processes. Aminoglutethimide (AGI, and inhibitor of P450 side-chain cleavage enzyme) inhibited FPH-induced intrafollicular progesterone accumulation and oocyte maturation (or germinal vesicle breakdown, GVBD) in a dose-dependent manner. Follicular progesterone accumulation and GVBD were both stimulated, in the absence of FPH, after addition of 25-OH-cholesterol, but not cholesterol, to the culture medium. Higher levels of progesterone were present in defolliculated oocytes as compared to intact ovarian follicles after incubation with 25-OH-cholesterol. The results indicate that the surface epithelium and theca layer in the follicle wall retard 25-OH-cholesterol access to steroid-producing follicle cells. AGI blocked 25-OH-cholesterol-induced accumulation of progesterone and GVBD in defolliculated oocytes, suggesting that 25-OH-cholesterol does not directly induce GVBD and is metabolized by the follicle cells. The capacity of follicles to accumulate progesterone following preincubation with FPH or 25-OH-cholesterol along with AGI was compared. Intrafollicular levels of progesterone increased after AGI- and 25-OH-cholesterol-treated follicles were washed. In contrast, progesterone levels decreased in follicles pretreated with AGI and FPH after washing. The results indicate that considerable 25-OH-cholesterol, but not endogenous cholesterol (FPH stimulation), remains available for steroidogenesis after removal of AGI. A significant, but incomplete, inhibition of progesterone accumulation occurred when follicles were incubated in the presence of 25-OH-cholesterol and cycloheximide. This partial blockage produced by the protein synthesis inhibitor indicates that some basal protein synthesis is required for progesterone accumulation from exogenous 25-OH-cholesterol. We conclude that intracellular cholesterol stores in the follicle wall are utilized to mediate FPH induction of progesterone accumulation and oocyte maturation in amphibian follicles. 相似文献

The role of cyclic AMP (cAMP) in ovarian follicular functions in Rana pipiens was investigated with the use of the adenylate cyclase stimulator, forskolin, which is thought to elevate intracellular level of cAMP. Effects of forskolin on oocyte germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) and on progesterone production by the follicles were assessed during the course of in vitro culture. Addition of forskolin to culture medium suppressed both progesterone-and frog pituitary homogenate (FPH)-induced meiotic maturation of the oocytes. Inhibitory effects of forskolin were essentially reversible and forskolin completely inhibited GVBD when added during the first four hours of incubation following exposure to progesterone. Forskolin alone stimulated a low level progesterone production by isolated follicles, but markedly stimulated progesterone production when it was supplemented with a low dose of FPH (0.005 pituitary equivalent/ml). Thus, forskolin acts synergistically with FPH on follicle cells to stimulate progesterone production. A higher dose of FPH (0.05 pitui. eq./ml) produced no additional synergistic effect of forskolin. Therefore, forskolin appears to have two contradictory functions in ovarian follicles: it augments FPH induced follicle secretion of meiosis initiator, progesterone, and simultaneously suppresses the maturation of the oocytes triggered by exogenous progesterone or FPH. The data presented indicate that there are two independent adenylate cyclase systems in the ovarian follicles which have separate functions: one in the follicle cells and the other in the oocyte. The two enzyme systems are thus compartmentalized and regulate different biological functions using the same messenger, cAMP. The data provide evidence that in amphibians, as in mammals, pituitary hormones regulate steroid hormone production by follicle cells via a cyclic AMP system. Thus, control of oocyte maturation induction appears to be determined by the relative levels of cAMP present in the follicle cells and oocytes. 相似文献

Involvement of protein synthesis in frog pituitary homogenate (FPH)-induced progesterone production and/or accumulation in ovarian follicles was investigated. In amphibians, cycloheximide (C), an inhibitor of protein synthesis, inhibits progesterone and FPH-induced germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD). However, the site and mechanisms of action of cycloheximide within ovarian follicles have not been elucidated. Intrafollicular progesterone produced by FPH is considered to mediate oocyte maturation; thus, cycloheximide may interfere with production and/or action of progesterone. Simultaneous treatment of FPH-stimulated follicles with cycloheximide inhibited FPH-induced progesterone accumulation (measured by RIA) and the accompanying-GVBD in a dose-dependent fashion. Inhibitory effects of cycloheximide on either FPH-induced progesterone production or GVBD were not reversed when follicles were washed and returned to fresh medium devoid of FPH and cycloheximide. However, subsequent restimulation of washed follicles with FPH resulted in increased progesterone levels and oocyte maturation. The extent of reversibility, in terms of GVBD and progesterone production, after FPH restimulation varied between animals. Pretreatment of follicles with cycloheximide for 6 hours, without FPH, had little or no effect on progesterone production when follicles were washed and treated with FPH. Delayed addition of cycloheximide to follicles following FPH stimulation blocked further progesterone accumulation as indicated by measurement of intrafollicular progesterone at the time of cycloheximide addition and at the end of the incubation period. The results indicate that cycloheximide rapidly inhibits progesterone production and that continuous protein synthesis is required for progesterone accumulation. Furthermore, protein synthesis does not appear to be required for progesterone metabolism since intrafollicular progesterone declined with prolonged culture even in the presence of cycloheximide. The nature of protein(s) involved in follicular progesterone production remains to be elucidated. FPH mediation of oocyte maturation within ovarian follicles appears to depend upon protein synthesis in somatic follicle cells, which is required for progesterone production, and in the oocyte, to mediate the response to the steroid trigger. 相似文献

The ability of heparin fractions of different molecular weight to potentiate the action of antithrombin III against the coagulation factors thrombin and Xa has been examined in purified reaction mixtures and in plasma. Residual thrombin and Xa have been determined by their peptidase activities against the synthetic peptide substrates H-D-Phe-Pip-Arg-pNA and Bz-Ile-Gly-Arg-pNA. High molecular weight heparin fractions were found to have higher anticoagulant activities than low molecular weight heparin when studied with both thrombin and Xa incubation mixtures in purified mixtures and in plasma. The inhibition of thrombin by heparin fractions and antithrombin III was unaffected by other plasma components. However, normal human plasma contained a component that inhibited the heparin and antithrombin III inhibition of Xa particularly when the high molecular weight heparin fraction was used. Experiments using a purified preparation of platelet factor 4 suggested that the platelet-derived heparin-neutralizing protein was not responsible for the inhibition. 相似文献

The effect of heparin on the kinetics of inactivation of thrombin by antithrombin III (AT) has been investigated in order to distinguish between two possible mechanisms. Either (1) heparin activates AT to make it a (kinetically) more effective inhibitor, or (2) heparin makes thrombin more susceptible to inhibition by AT. The results were consistent only with mechanism 1. The experimental approach was to premix heparin with either thrombin or AT and then to measure the rate of association of the two proteins in the rapid-mixing stop-flow spectrophotometer. Reactions were followed spectrophotometrically by observing displacement of the dye proflavine from the active site of thrombin as AT binds. Only premixing AT with heparin accelerated the reaction compared to control (no heparin); the observed second-order rate constant was enhanced by a factor of 200–400. Premixing of thrombin with heparin was without effect on the rate of association with AT. If heparin was premixed with both proteins before reaction, the rate was as slow as the control, indicating that heparin bound to thrombin is actually inhibitory to the association of enzyme with activated AT. 相似文献

Thiamethoxam (CGA 293'343) is a novel broad-spectrum neonicotinoid insecticide. It is commercially used as a seed treatment under the trademark Cruiser (CRZ). Although many reports detail its insecticidal, plant-protecting properties, there are minimal reports concerning the effect on seed germination activities which can be key control points of seedling vigour. In this report, we investigated the effect of CRZ, fish protein hydrolysates (FPH; a known elicitor of pentose-phosphate pathway) and the combination of CRZ and FPH (CF) on seed vigour of pea, soybean and corn. Seed vigour was investigated by estimating germination percentage, shoot height, shoot weight, total soluble phenolic content, antioxidant content, G6PDH (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase) activity, and GPX (guaiacol peroxidase) activity. Addition of FPH to CRZ (CF) seemed to have a slightly positive effect on seed vigour, especially, CF and FPH treatment for corn and FPH treatment for pea, suggesting that pre-sowing treatments may cause positive/negative effects on seed vigour, depending on the concentration of treatments. Further research will be needed to determine their effects and the optimal concentration for seed priming. 相似文献

Familial progressive hyperpigmentation (FPH) is an autosomal-dominantly inherited disorder characterized by hyperpigmented patches in the skin, present in early infancy and increasing in size and number with age. The genetic basis for FPH remains unknown. In this study, a six-generation Chinese family with FPH was subjected to a genome-wide scan for linkage analysis. Two-point linkage analysis mapped the locus for FPH at chromosome 12q21.31-q23.1, with a maximum two-point LOD score of 4.35 (Ø = 0.00) at D12S81. Haplotype analysis confined the locus within an interval of 9.09 cM, flanked by the markers D12S1667 and D12S2081. Mutation profiling of positional candidate genes detected a heterozygous transversion (c. 107A→G) in exon 2 of the KIT ligand ( KITLG) gene, predicted to result in the substitution of a serine residue for an asparagine residue at codon 36 (p.N→S). This mutant “G” allele cosegregated perfectly with affected, but not with unaffected, members of the FPH family. Function analysis of the soluble form of sKITLG revealed that mutant sKITLGN36S increased the content of the melanin by 109% compared with the wild-type sKITLG in human A375 melanoma cells. Consistent with this result, the tyrosinase activity was significantly increased by mutant sKITLGN36S compared to wild-type control. To our knowledge, these data provided the first genetic evidence that the FPH disease is caused by the KITLGN36S mutation, which has a gain-of-function effect on the melanin synthesis and opens a new avenue for exploration of the genetic mechanism of FPH. 相似文献

Pituitary homogenates (FPH) provoke a cascade of responses in the amphibian ovarian follicle, culminating in progesterone biosynthesis and oocyte maturation (GVBD). Calcium may play an important role as an intracellular second messenger in regulating these physiological responses. Experiments were carried out on cultured, isolated follicles of Rana pipiens to assess the effects of varying extracellular calcium on follicular progesterone accumulation and oocyte maturation. In hormonally unstimulated follicles, an increase in extracellular Ca2+ alone produced a significant increase in progesterone in methanol extracts of follicles after 4 hours of culture, and in some cases also provoked oocyte maturation assessed after 24 hours of culture. In no case did elevated Ca2+ alone stimulate maximal progesterone accumulation as compared with FPH-stimulated follicles, although the time-course of accumulation was similar. The calcium ionophore, A-23187, similarly increased progesterone accumulation in a dose-dependent manner when introduced in amphibian Ringer's (1.35 mM Ca2+), but inhibited progesterone elevation caused by increasing calcium concentrations in the culture media and FPH stimulation. Depleting free calcium from the culture medium with graded doses of the chelator EGTA decreased FPH-induced progesterone accumulation and inhibited FPH- and progesterone-induced GVBD. The calcium channel blocker, verapamil, also inhibited FPH-induced progesterone accumulation and GVDB in a dose-dependent manner, while having no effect on progesterone-induced meiotic resumption. These data strongly implicate intracellular calcium levels regulating progesterone production by ovarian follicle cells and subsequent oocyte maturation. 相似文献

The effect of heparin on the binding of epidermal growth factor (EGF) to vascular smooth muscle cells (SMC) was examined. Heparin pretreatment of SMC obtained from bovine aortic explant tissue resulted in significant reductions in the amount of EGF bound. Decreases in mitogen binding were observed with both growth arrested as well as exponentially growing cultures. The heparin concentrations (10-100 micrograms/ml) and pretreatment times (48-72 h) necessary for suppression of EGF binding correlated with the concentrations and temporal requirements necessary for growth inhibition. Chondroitin sulfate, which has negligible antiproliferative activity, had no effect on EGF binding. However, a highly inhibitory heparan sulfate species obtained from postconfluent SMC suppressed EGF binding by 45%. Platelet-derived growth factor and insulin-like growth factor-1 binding were unaffected by heparin. Scatchard analysis revealed that heparin induced 50 to 60% reductions in the numbers of high and low affinity EGF receptors without detectable changes in the binding affinity or ratio of high to low receptors. Experiments were also performed with enzymatically dispersed SMC. These cultures were inhibited by heparin in a time dependent manner which was partially reversible in the presence of EGF. Subsequent studies revealed that heparin suppressed EGF binding in these cultures by 20 to 40%. In summary, heparin reduces the number of EGF receptors on both explant and enzyme dispersed SMC by a mechanism which closely parallels the antiproliferative effects of this glycosaminoglycan. 相似文献

Effects of heparin, spermidine, and Be2+ ions on the ATPase and beta-glycerophosphatase and RNA-ase activities of the rat liver cell nuclei were studied. Be2+ was shown to inhibit the ATPase activity and, to a lesser extent, beta-glycerophosphatase activities. Physiological concentrations of heparin and spermidine also lowered the mentioned two activities, as well as the RNAase activity of the nuclei. Evidence is presented for the inhibitory effect of heparin and spermidine on endonucleases. 相似文献

Milk substitutes for calves are based upon dried skim milk and added fats of vegetable or animal origin. Many attempts have been made to replace part of the skim milk in these feeds by cheaper sources of protein.A milk product coagulates in the calf's abomasum and has a high digestibility. Milk replacers based on fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) do not coagulate in the abomasum, but have a high apparent digestibility coefficient (0.92) and the amino acid balance is similar to that of skim milk.Calves were fed on milk replacers prepared from FPH made from various materials. In general, FPH prepared from white fish (cod, blue whiting, white fish offal) was satisfactory although calf performance until weaning was poorer than for calves fed on milk replacers with dried skim milk (SMP). Some ways are suggested by which the quality of the product (FPH) could be maintained. FPH preparations from fatty fish, like sprats and mackerel, were also used. An antioxidant was added in the preparation of sprats and mackerel because of the unsaturated nature of fish fats. Milk replacers containing sprats prepared without an antioxidant and mackerel (31% body fat) with antioxidant were unsatisfactory and further development work is required on FPH materials from fatty fish.FPH from white fish can be dried without any appreciable loss in calf performance. The daily gain to weaning was 0.25 and 0.29 kg per day for calves fed on the dried and undried material, respectively. On the basis of present knowledge it is suggested that FPH can replace one third of skim milk in milk replacers for early weaned calves; the proportion recommended may rapidly increase with further technical development of the product. 相似文献

Fish protein hydrolysate (FPH) has been used as the sole source of protein in milk replacers for lambs in several experiments. In comparison with casein, diets containing FPH gave slightly inferior growth rates during the first 2 weeks of a 5-week rearing period. The lower growth rate was generally compensated for in the following 3 weeks so that overall growth rate and food utilization were similar with milk replacers containing casein or FPH. Diets based on FPH, lard and hydrolysed starch were found to give results similar to a milk replacer based on casein, butterfat and lactose. The use of fat fish to provide both the source of fat and protein has received some attention and needs to be further investigated. 相似文献

The rate of the reaction between thrombin and antithrombin III is greatly increased in the presence of heparin. Several mechanisms for this effect are possible. To study the problems commercial heparin was fractionated into one fraction of high anticogulant activity and one of low anticoagulant activity by affinity chromatography on matrix-bound antithrombin III. The strength of the binding of the two heparin fractions to antithrombin III and thrombin, respectively, was determined by a crossed immunoelectrophoresis technique. As was to be expected, the high activity fraction was strongly bound to antithrombin III while the low activity fraction was weakly bound. In contrast, thrombin showed equal binding affinity for both heparin fractions. The ability of the two heparin fractions to catalyse the inhibition of thrombin by antithrombin III was determined and was found to be much greater for the high activity heparin fraction. A mechanism for the reaction between thrombin and antithrombin III in the presence of small amounts of heparin is suggested, whereby antithrombin III first binds heparin and this complex then inhibits thrombin by interaction with both the bound heparin and the antithrombin III. 相似文献

The role of cAMP in regulating follicular progesterone levels and oocyte maturation was investigated following in vitro culture of amphibian (Rana pipiens) ovarian follicles. Intrafollicular levels of cAMP were manipulated with the use of a stimulator of cAMP synthesis (forskolin) or by exogenous addition of cAMP alone or either of these in combination with an inhibitor of cAMP catabolism (3-isobutyl-1-methyl xanthine, IBMX). Follicular progesterone content was determined by RIA and oocyte maturation was assessed cytologically. In the presence of increasing doses of forskolin (0-3 microM), cAMP (0-3 mM), or dibutyryl cAMP (dbcAMP, 0-2.5 mM) increasing but low levels of progesterone were detected. Increasing doses of IBMX (0-0.09 mM) alone had no significant effect on follicular steroid content. Exogenous cAMP, dbcAMP, or IBMX (0.09 mM) suppressed hormone-induced oocyte maturation. Simultaneous exposure of follicles to increasing doses of both forskolin (0-3 microM) and IBMX (0-0.09 mM) markedly increased intrafollicular progesterone levels to those produced by frog pituitary homogenate (FPH). A marked increase in progesterone levels also occurred when follicles were exposed to exogenous cAMP (3 mM) and IBMX (0.09 mM). These results indicate that exogenous cAMP is incorporated by follicle cells and that forskolin effects are mediated through cAMP. Changes in follicular progesterone levels (increase and decrease) over time following FPH or cAMP manipulation (cAMP + IBMX or forskolin + IBMX) were essentially identical. In contrast to cAMP, cGMP was inactive in inhibiting hormone induced GVBD or stimulating follicular progesterone accumulation. Elevation of follicular and medium levels of progesterone resulting from FPH or cAMP stimulation required the presence of the somatic follicular cells. The decrease in follicular progesterone levels with prolonged culture was not associated with a corresponding increase in progesterone levels in the medium. The decrease in follicular progesterone levels appears to reflect steroid catabolism rather than loss of steroid to the culture medium. The results suggest that the level of intracellular cAMP in the follicle cells is modulated by the relative activity of the adenylate cyclase system and phosphodiesterase and that FPH can affect both components. Thus, intracellular levels of cAMP play a key role in regulating follicular progesterone levels and FPH action on the follicle cells. The steroidogenic capacity of follicle cells can be manipulated independently of FPH stimulation. 相似文献

Previous studies indicated that pituitary hormone induced oocyte maturation in preovulatory amphibian ovarian follicles is mediated by somatic elements of the follicle. In this study procedures were developed for isolating and culturing follicle cells and their ability to produce meiosis inducing substance (MIS) was assessed. Defolliculated oocytes surrounded by a single layer of follicle cells but not denuded oocytes matured in response to frog pituitary hormone (FPH) stimulation. Cultured follicle cells secreted MIS following stimulation with FPH. The amount of MIS activity produced was related to the number of follicle cells cultured and the dose of FPH utilized. Radioimmunoassay (RIA) analysis of medium from follicle cell cultures demonstrated that FPH stimulated steroid (progesterone) secretion from these cells. Addition of cAMP to follicle cell cultures enhanced FPH stimulated steroid production. The results indicate that follicle cells retain FPH responsiveness when uncoupled from the immature oocyte and exhibit both MIS and steroid secretory functions. 相似文献

In the amphibian ovarian follicle, progesterone production is thought to induce maturation of the enclosed oocyte. Intracellular mechanisms regulating these events in the somatic and germ cells are incompletely understood. However, calcium appears to play a role in the production and action of progesterone. Experiments using calcium antagonists were carried out to delineate the role of extra- and intracellular calcium during in vitro stimulation of follicular steroidogenesis and oocyte maturation. Calcium-free medium, verapamil, and La3+ were used to block Ca2+ influx and inhibited follicular progesterone accumulation in response to frog pituitary homogenate (FPH) or exogenous cAMP + IBMX. Progesterone accumulation was not impaired under identical conditions when pregnenolone was added to cultured follicles. TMB-8, an inhibitor of intracellular Ca2+ mobilization, partially inhibited progesterone levels stimulated by FPH at low doses but not higher doses of the inhibitor. However, TMB-8 inhibited FPH-induced oocyte germinal vesicle breakdown (GVBD) in a dose-dependent manner, as well as maturation due to exogenous progesterone or La3+. Calmodulin antagonists, W-7, R24571, and trifluoperazine, were used to assess the involvement of calmodulin in the responses of these two cell types. All three antagonists inhibited progesterone accumulation induced by FPH with the apparent order of potency being R24571 greater than W-7 greater than TFP. W-7 inhibited cAMP-induced progesterone elevation, but had no effect on conversion of pregnenolone to progesterone. Of these three calmodulin antagonists, only R24571 exhibited a dramatic ability to inhibit GVBD induced by exogenous progesterone and was associated with morphologic alterations in the oocytes. These data suggest that Ca2+, acting through calmodulin at some specific step(s) distal to cAMP elevation and prior to pregnenolone formation, is involved in FPH-induced progesterone accumulation, apparently with the participation of both extracellular and intracellular pools of Ca2+. In the oocyte, mobilization of Ca2+ from intracellular stores appears to be of primary importance to maturation while extracellular Ca2+ is not. These data provide further evidence that Ca2+ mediates the hormonally provoked responses in both cell types in the intact follicle, but that the source of Ca2+ may differ. Using intact follicles it seems apparent that exploiting this difference with selective inhibitors provides a means for differential modulation and functional uncoupling of these cells with regard to steroidogenesis and steroid action. 相似文献
