A rat colonic adenocarcinoma was implanted subcutaneously in female nude (C57BL/6JBom-nu) mice. After 7 days, the animals were divided into different groups. One group received triple therapy with octreotide, galanin, and serotonin, 10 microg/kg body weight of each, twice daily. The second group served as controls and received only saline solution. Three groups received 10 microg/kg body weight twice daily of octreotide, galanin, or serotonin. The last group consisted of controls that received only saline solution. The treatment lasted for 5 days. The tumour volume, wet weight, and relative volume density of blood vessels were significantly decreased after the triple treatment, as compared to controls. Apoptotic index was significantly increased, but the proliferation index was not affected in the group of mice that received triple therapy. There was no significant difference between controls and mice treated with octreotide, galanin, or serotonin regarding tumour volume or weight. The relative volume density of blood vessels was decreased in tumours treated with galanin, but not with octreotide or serotonin. There was no statistical difference in the proliferation index between controls and animals treated with octreotide, galanin, or serotonin, as compared with controls. Tumour necrosis and increased apoptosis may be responsible for the reduction in the volume and weight of the tumour after triple therapy. Tumour necrosis may be caused by the induction of tumour ischemia due to a reduction in tumour blood flow, which is caused by decreased incidence of tumour-feeding blood vessels, and by constriction of tumour-feeding arterioles. These results are promising and may offer treatment for colon cancer. 相似文献

Body weight and tissue composition in rats made obese by a cafeteria diet. Effect of 24 hours starvation 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Rat body size and tissue composition changes from pre-weaning to three months age resulted from voluntary hyperphagia triggered by offering a cafeteria diet. The effects of a 24 hour starvation period in both cafeteria and chow fed controls were compared. Obesity develops earlier in females than in males. This difference is related to the growth patterns in both sexes. Obesity occurs at the stages of development when growth rate decreases. Cafeteria fed female rats attained a 32% greater weight than their controls, with lumbar adipose cords that were 4 times heavier and brown interscapular adipose tissue 2 times heavier than controls. The overall cafeteria fed versus chow fed rat differences in the effects of a 24 hour starvation, were minor but less liver glycogen and much more skeletal muscle lipids were mobilized in the cafeteria fed rats than in controls. 相似文献

The heat production and oxygen consumption of intact virgin, pregnant, lactating and postlactating rats has been investigated both in groups fed a "cafeteria" diet as well as in controls. A third group of rats fed the cafeteria diet after parturition has been investigated. Pregnant rats fed a "cafeteria" diet increased their weight faster than controls. During lactation no increases in weight were observed, and in postlactation both "cafeteria" groups attained the same values higher than controls. The ingestion of a "cafeteria" diet resulted in higher heat production in all groups except lactating rats, which--in addition--showed higher heat outputs than all the other groups when the actual data were corrected by metabolic weight according to the surface law. The high lactation heat production (and oxygen consumption) can be a consequence of increased metabolic activity in the rat organism, devoted to milk production. It can be concluded that during lactation the dam energy output through the milk must absorb any increases in energy input due to the more densely-packed energy in the "cafeteria" diet, and this did not result in increased heat production. 相似文献

Ketoconazole, an antifungal agent, protects against adiposity induced by a cafeteria diet. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Ketoconazole, an anti-glucocorticoid agent, is widely used in humans as an antifungal agent. It inhibits ergosterol synthesis and reduces cortisol levels in the treatment of Cushing's Syndrome. The aim of this work was to study the drug's preventive potential against adiposity induced by a high-fat cafeteria diet in rats. Female Wistar rats were fed on standard pelleted diet or cafeteria diet during 42 days in the presence or absence of an oral treatment with ketoconazole (24 mg/kg of body weight). The cafeteria diet increased energy intake and body weight. In addition, this high-fat diet increased body-fat weight and adipose tissue depots analyzed. Interestingly, ketoconazole was able to protect against increased total body fat and adipose depot enlargement induced after cafeteria-diet feeding. Moreover, ex vivo isoproterenol-induced lipolysis was reduced in adipocytes from cafeteria-fed animals; this decrease was reverted by treatment with ketoconazole. Thus, ketoconazole was able to protect against adiposity induced by a cafeteria diet, revealing an interaction between fat intake and glucocorticoids on adipose deposition. 相似文献

Homozygous obese db/db (BKS-Lepr(db) and ob/ob (B6-Lep(ob)) mice were treated for 14 days with a continuous infusion of a fat emulsion (controls) or loaded with oleoyl-estrone at doses of 12.5 and 50 nmol/g x d using surgically inserted osmotic minipumps. Treatment with oleoyl-estrone resulted in a marked decrease in body weight in both strains, compared with the unchecked growth of controls. In db/db mice, plasma urea and insulin, as well as liver lipid decreased with treatment. In ob/ob mice, the effect on insulin was more marked, in parallel with higher plasma lipids pointing to increased fat mobilisation. The results suggest that oleoyl-estrone effects on body fat reserves and insulin resistance are not mediated by leptin, since ob/ob mice lack this hormone and in the db/db it is present but cannot induce effects because of defective leptin receptors; in both cases oleoyl-estrone treatment lowers body weight. 相似文献

Juvenile Atlantic salmon were held for 76 days at pH 4.7 during the period when the final stages of smoltification normally occur. Control salmon (pH 6.5) had significant increases in weight, length and liver somatic index which were not observed in those held at low pH. Condition factor decreased in both groups but to a significantly greater extent in the low pH group. After 15 days levels of ADP and glucose were higher and AEC, CP and glycogen were lower in muscles of salmon exposed to low pH. These qualitative differences were maintained until the end of the experiment. ATP and total adenylate concentrations in muscle were lower after 62 days of exposure to low pH compared to controls. The levels of ATP, total adenylates, AEC and glucose were consistently higher in livers of salmon exposed to low pH than those of controls. There were no differences in liver concentrations of AMP, CP and glycogen between the two treatments or with time of exposure within each treatment. The results suggest that exposure of juvenile Atlantic salmon to low pH increased gluconeogenesis and decreased food intake to the detriment of growth. 相似文献

Nickel sulfate (2.0 mg/100 g.b.wt) dissolved in double-distilled water was administered (ip) on alternate days for ten doses
to normal protein-fed and protein-restricted Wister strain albino rats (b.wt. 160 ± 5 g). Two groups were used: one with normal
protein diet, whereas the other with protein-restricted diet served as control. Twenty-four hours after the last treatment,
the animals were sacrificed by decapitation. Tissues such as the testes, seminal vesicles, epididymis (Cauda and Caput) and
prostate were dissected out, wiped clean, and stored at -20‡C until analysis. Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities, glutamate
oxaloacetate transaminase (GOT) activities, glycogen content, cholesterol content, and total protein content of the testes
were estimated. Nickel sulfate administration significantly decreased the body weight of both normal protein-fed and proteinrestricted
groups of animals; the organ weights were also decreased. Significant decrease of LDH activity was observed, but GOT activity
was not altered significantly. Testicular glycogen and cholesterol increased significantly in both experimental groups, but
total protein content decreased. Nickel sulfate seems to have an adverse effect on the male reproductive system in both groups
of animals fed with normal protein (18% casein) diet and protein restricted (5% casein) diet. 相似文献

Sexual maturation was evaluated in male mice subjected to prenatal and preweaning overnutrition induced by reduction of litter size in embryonic and post-natal life. From birth to adulthood body weight was higher in overfed males than in controls. Plasma and testicular testosterone levels followed a similar pattern in normally fed and overfed males. Adult gonadotrophin levels were attained at 30 (FSH) and 40 (LH) days in controls and as soon as 20 days in overfed males. First fertile matings occurred at the same age in both groups. Overnourished males attained puberty when weighing considerably more than controls (34.7 +/- 0.4 vs. 29.4 +/- 0.3 g). The 30-day-old overfed males, which have attained the critical pubertal body weight of controls, were sexually immature. The data showed that in male mice puberty does not seem to be triggered by the attainment of a critical body weight. 相似文献

Pregnant female C57B1/6 mice were irradiated with a single whole-body dose of 0.5 Gy neutrons. The F1 hybrid embryos were exposed to the neutrons in utero on Day 17 +/- 2 of gestation. 178/439 (40.6%) of the irradiated fetuses and 26/217 (12%) of the control mice died within 2 weeks after birth. In both irradiated and control mice, most deaths (95 and 77%, respectively) occurred within 3 days of birth: most animals in both groups died on Day 2. There was no significant difference in the number of living young born per litter (7.2) between the neutron-irradiated mothers and their unirradiated controls. The irradiated mice weighed significantly less than their controls. On the first day after birth, body weights of mice irradiated in utero averaged only 85% of control weights. Body weights did not reach control levels until 6 months after birth. Several organs were weighed at regular intervals in both irradiated and control mice. Spleens and thymus glands showed no significant differences between the two groups. The livers and kidneys of the irradiated mice weighed slightly less than their controls. The brain weight of 21-day-old neutron-irradiated mice was 30-35% less than control brains. The weight loss of the brain was not only a relative loss, but also an absolute one, based on brain weight/body weight ratios. Histological analysis of the central nervous system showed pycnotic nuclei, inhibition of mitosis in neuroblasts, and cell death in the irradiated brains. The weight reduction of the brain was not due to water loss. Our hypothesis is that the early mortality after birth is related to the killing of the radiation-sensitive neuroblasts. When newborn mice (1-7 days old) were irradiated in vivo with the same neutron dose of 0.5 Gy, neither the reduction in brain weight nor the early mortality was observed. The early deaths of the neutron-irradiated mouse embryos does not appear to be caused by either the hematological or the gastrointestinal radiation syndrome. 相似文献

The label distribution in control and cafeteria-diet fed rats, either in basal conditions or after 24 hours of food deprivation, 10 minutes after the i.v. injection of carrier-free D-14C-(U)-glucose, has been studied. The radioactivity recovered in the different fractions of liver, kidney, heart, striated muscle and white adipose tissue showed comparable patterns of change with starvation in both dietary groups. Most of the radioactivity was found in the free amino acid fraction as well as in proteins, with significant proportions also in lipid and liver glycogen. However, most of the label was lost due to its oxidation, remaining in the combined indicated tissues 10-20% of the injected label. On the whole, cafeteria rats consumed more glucose than controls, the lowest oxidation corresponding to the starved-control group. The amount of glucose oxidized by cafeteria rats was actually comparable to that of fed controls. The availability of other energetic sources--i.e. lipid--allows for an increased glucose utilization in cafeteria rats, even in the starved state. 相似文献

Swiss mice were treated intraperitoneally with AET, 5-HT, MEA, or GSH, in a dose of 80 mg/kg of body weight, on the first day of gestation. On the 19th day of pregnancy, the fresh weight of liver of the foetuses, as well as glycogen content in 1 g of fresh tissue and in the whole organ were analysed. The determination of glycogen content in the foetal liver were made according to the anthrone method. As compared with controls, in the remaining groups of mice a lower fresh weight of foetal liver less glycogen per g of fresh tissue and a smaller total amount of glycogen in the whole organ were found. Among the compounds, AET appeared to be more toxic than 5-HT, MEA, and GSH. 相似文献

Effect of drug praziquantel (PZQ) and C. longa extract on S. mansoni infected mice is reported. The level of glycogen, alkaline and acid phosphatases (ALP and ACP respectively), and body weight, liver weight and liver weight/body weight ratio were studied in mice infected with S. mansoni. ALP level was increased after infection. C. longa treated mice showed marked reduction in ALP level more than after PZQ-treatment. C. longa enhanced the concentration of glycogen after being reduced by infection, while PZQ-treatment revealed more reduction. C. longa caused enhancement in body weight while PZQ treatment had no effect. The formation of granuloma around schistosome eggs in the liver produced inflammation. C. longa extract and PZQ were effective in reducing granuloma size in infected mice. 相似文献

Human studies have suggested that early undernutrition increases the risk of obesity, thereby explaining the increase in overweight among individuals from developing countries who have been undernourished as children. However, this conclusion is controversial, given that other studies do not concur. This study sought to determine whether rehabilitation after undernutrition increases the risk of obesity and metabolic disorders. We employed a published experimental food-restriction model. Wistar female rats subjected to severe food restriction since fetal stage and controls were transferred to a moderately high-fat diet (cafeteria) provided at 70 days of life to 6.5 months. Another group of undernourished rats were rehabilitated with chow. The energy intake of undernourished animals transferred to cafeteria formula exceeded that of the controls under this regime and was probably driven by hypothalamic disorders in insulin and leptin signal transduction. The cafeteria diet resulted in greater relative increases in both fat and lean body mass in the undernourished rats when compared with controls, enabling the former group to completely catch up in length and body mass index. White adipose tissues of undernourished rats transferred to the high-lipid regime developed a browning which, probably, contributed to avoid the obesigenic effect observed in controls. Nevertheless, the restricted group rehabilitated with cafeteria formula had greater accretion of visceral than subcutaneous fat, showed increased signs of macrophage infiltration and inflammation in visceral pad, dyslipidemia, and ectopic fat accumulation. The data indicate that early long-term undernutrition is associated with increased susceptibility to the harmful effects of nutritional rehabilitation, without causing obesity. 相似文献

Metabolic adaptations in skeletal muscle overexpressing GLUT4: effects on muscle and physical activity. 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

To understand the long-term metabolic and functional consequences of increased GLUT4 content, intracellular substrate utilization was investigated in isolated muscles of transgenic mice overexpressing GLUT4 selectively in fast-twitch skeletal muscles. Rates of glycolysis, glycogen synthesis, glucose oxidation, and free fatty acid (FFA) oxidation as well as glycogen content were assessed in isolated EDL (fast-twitch) and soleus (slow-twitch) muscles from female and male MLC-GLUT4 transgenic and control mice. In male MLC-GLUT4 EDL, increased glucose influx predominantly led to increased glycolysis. In contrast, in female MLC-GLUT4 EDL increased glycogen synthesis was observed. In both sexes, GLUT4 overexpression resulted in decreased exogenous FFA oxidation rates. The decreased rate of FFA oxidation in male MLC-GLUT4 EDL was associated with increased lipid content in liver, but not in muscle or at the whole body level. To determine how changes in substrate metabolism and insulin action may influence energy balance in an environment that encouraged physical activity, we measured voluntary training activity, body weight, and food consumption of MLC-GLUT4 and control mice in cages equipped with training wheels. We observed a small decrease in body weight of MLC-GLUT4 mice that was paradoxically accompanied by a 45% increase in food consumption. The results were explained by a marked fourfold increase in voluntary wheel exercise. The changes in substrate metabolism and physical activity in MLC-GLUT4 mice were not associated with dramatic changes in skeletal muscle morphology. Collectively, results of this study demonstrate the feasibility of altering muscle substrate utilization by overexpression of GLUT4. The results also suggest that as a potential treatment for type II diabetes mellitus, increased skeletal muscle GLUT4 expression may provide benefits in addition to improvement of insulin action. 相似文献

Feeding acafeteria diet to mice resulted in an increased energy intake of approximately 30% and this led to increases in the wet weight, total protein content , and total cytochrome oxidase activity of interscapular and dorso-cervical brown adipose tissue. Surgical removal of interscapular brown adipose tissue, followed by cafeteria feeding, gave rise to an elevation in dorso-cervical brown adipose tissue wet weight, total protein content, and total cytochrome oxidase activity, compared to intact cafeteria-fed mice. Cafeteria feeding with or without the removal of interscapular brown adipose tissue did not lead to significant increases in body weight compared to stock-fed control mice, but both cafeteria-fed groups of mice showed significant elevations in body fat content indicating that the induced hyperphagia led to a relative obesity in the cafeteria-fed groups. The results presented are consistent with an increased thermogenic activity in the brown adipose tissue of cafeteria-fed mice, and the effect of the removal of interscapular brown adipose tissue further indicates the quantitative importance of the tissue in the control of body weight. 相似文献

Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) is an incretin hormone secreted by endocrine K-cells in response to nutrient absorption. In this study we have utilized a specific and enzymatically stable GIP receptor antagonist, (Pro3)GIP, to evaluate the contribution of endogenous GIP to insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis in mice. Daily injection of (Pro3)GIP (25 nmol/kg body weight) for 11 days had no effect on food intake or body weight. Non-fasting plasma glucose concentrations were significantly raised (p<0.05) by day 11, while plasma insulin concentrations were not significantly different from saline treated controls. After 11 days, intraperitoneal glucose tolerance was significantly impaired in the (Pro3)GIP treated mice compared to control (p<0.01). Glucose-mediated insulin secretion was not significantly different between the two groups. Insulin sensitivity of 11-day (Pro3)GIP treated mice was slightly impaired 60 min post injection compared with controls. Following a 15 min refeeding period in 18 h fasted mice, food intake was not significantly different in (Pro3)GIP treated mice and controls. However, (Pro3)GIP treated mice displayed significantly elevated plasma glucose levels 30 and 60 min post feeding (p<0.05, in both cases). Postprandial insulin secretion was not significantly different and no changes in pancreatic insulin content or islet morphology were observed in (Pro3)GIP treated mice. The observed biological effects of (Pro3)GIP were reversed following cessation of treatment for 9 days. These data indicate that ablation of GIP signaling causes a readily reversible glucose intolerance without appreciable change of insulin secretion. 相似文献

We studied whether cannabinoid receptor (CB1) blockade with rimonabant has an anti-inflammatory effect in obese mice, and whether this effect depends on weight loss and/or diet consumption. High-fat diet (HFD)-induced obese mice were treated orally with rimonabant (HFD-R) or vehicle (HFD-V) for 4 weeks. Paired-feeding was conducted in two additional groups of obese mice to achieve either the same body weight (HFD-BW) or the same HFD intake (HFD DI) as HFD-R. All these groups of mice were maintained on HFD throughout, with mice on normal diet (ND) throughout as lean controls. Rimonabant treatment of obese mice induced marked diet-intake reduction and weight loss during the first week, which was followed by maintenance of low body weight but not diet-intake reduction. Lower HFD intake was required to reach the same degree of weight loss in HFD-BW. HFD-DI had similar weight loss initially, but then started to gain weight, reaching a higher body weight than HFD-R. Despite the same degree of weight loss, HFD-R had less fat mass and lower adipogenic gene expression than HFD-BW. Compared to HFD-V or HFD-DI, HFD-R had reduced inflammation in adipose tissue (AT) and/or liver indicated primarily by lower monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) levels. However, MCP-1 levels were not significantly different between HFD-R and HFD-BW. In vitro incubation of rimonabant with AT explants did not change MCP-1 levels. Thus, rimonabant induced weight loss in obese mice by diet-intake-dependent and -independent fashions. Rimonabant decreased inflammation in obese mice, possibly through a primary effect on weight reduction. 相似文献

The effect of the major dietary energy source (fat or carbohydrate) on some of the adaptations to physical training, particularly body composition and tissue glycogen concentrations, were studied in growing male Wistar rats. Resting liver glycogen concentrations were lower in both trained and sedentary rats fed a high fat diet compared to corresponding rats fed a high carbohydrate (low fat) diet. Trained rats on both diets had higher liver glycogen levels than corresponding sedentary controls. Resting gastrocnemius muscle glycogen concentrations were not influenced by diet or training. Rates of liver and muscle glycogen depletion during a 60-min swim were lower in trained rats but were not influenced by diet. Significant interactions were noted between the dietary energy source and exercise training with respect to body weight gain, body fat content, liver weight and liver glycogen concentrations. 相似文献

Comparison of verapamil and felodipine treatment on lipid and glucose metabolism in obese female SHHF/Mcc-facp rats. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Calcium channel blockers, verapamil or felodipine, were given to genetically obese 6 and 11-month-old female SHHF/Mcc-facp (SHHF: Spontaneous Hypertension Heart Failure) rats for 8 weeks to investigate their effects on glucose and lipid metabolism and obesity. Both antihypertensive agents significantly decreased systolic blood pressure. In 11-month-old rats, verapamil treatment significantly decreased body weight after 4 weeks whereas with felodipine it was only significantly reduced after 8 weeks. In 6-month-old rats, verapamil significantly curtailed body weight gain. Subcutaneous fat depots were smaller, and abdominal fat depots were larger in verapamil rats compared to felodipine or control rats. Oral glucose tolerance tests in the 6-month-old verapamil and the 11-month-old felodipine groups showed improved glucose tolerance compared to their respective control groups. After 8 weeks of treatment, fasting plasma glucose levels were lower in 6-month-old verapamil rats compared to felodipine and control rats and were decreased by both verapamil and felodipine treatments as compared to control in 11-month-old rats. During the oral glucose tolerance test in 6-month-old rats, both fasting plasma insulin and the area under the insulin curve were increased in verapamil compared to both control and felodipine groups. When compared to controls, plasma cholesterol was increased by verapamil in both age groups, but was significantly decreased by felodipine after 8 weeks of treatment in the 11-month-old group. Plasma triglycerides increased in all control rats compared to initial levels; however, verapamil and felodipine groups showed lower triglycerides in both age groups. In 6-month-old rats, the percentages of plasma HDL significantly increased in both treatment groups as compared to control. This study shows that verapamil and felodipine depressed body weight gain in the young rats, reduced body weight in the old rats, improved lipid parameters and glucose tolerance, but had the opposite effects on body fat distribution and insulin levels in obese female SHHF rats. 相似文献
