Glucagon (10nM) prevented insulin (10nM) from activating the plasma-membrane cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase. This effect of glucagon was abolished by either PIA [N6-(phenylisopropyl)adenosine] (100nM) or adenosine (10 microM). Neither PIA nor adenosine exerted any effect on the plasma-membrane cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity either alone or in combination with glucagon. Furthermore, PIA and adenosine did not potentiate the action of insulin in activating this enzyme. 2-Deoxy-adenosine (10 microM) was ineffective in mimicking the action of adenosine. The effect of PIA in preventing the blockade by glucagon of insulin's action was inhibited by low concentrations of theophylline. Half-maximal effects of PIA were elicited at around 6nM-PIA. It is suggested that adenosine is exerting its effects on this system through an R-type receptor. This receptor does not appear to be directly coupled to adenylate cyclase, however, as PIA did not affect either the activity of adenylate cyclase or intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations. Insulin's activation of the plasma-membrane cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase, in the presence of both glucagon and PIA, was augmented by increasing intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations with either dibutyryl cyclic AMP or the cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor Ro-20-1724. PIA also inhibited the ability of glucagon to uncouple (desensitize) adenylate cyclase activity in intact hepatocytes. This occurred at a half-maximal concentration of around 3 microM-PIA. However, if insulin (10 nM) was also present in the incubation medium, PIA exerted its action at a much lower concentration, with a half-maximal effect occurring at around 4 nM. 相似文献

Irradiation inactivation was used to monitor changes in the state of adenylate cyclase in rat liver plasma membranes in the presence of F-.F- caused a decrease in the target size from 328000 to 237000 at 0 degrees C and from 329000 to 219000 at 30 degrees C. Adenylate cyclase was activated by F- at both 0 degrees C and 30 degrees C. The effect of F- was biphasic, activating up to a concentration of 10mM and inhibiting at higher concentrations. If adenylate cyclase weas maximally activated with glucagon and p[NH]ppG ([beta gamma-imido]GTP) all concentrations of F- were inhibitory. The implications of the results with respect to the mechanism of activation of adenylate cyclase are discussed. 相似文献

Treatment of intact hepatocytes with islet-activating protein, from Bordatella pertussis, led to a pronounced increase in the ability of glucagon to raise intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations. Islet-activating protein, however, caused no apparent increase in the intracellular concentration of cyclic AMP under basal conditions. These effects were attributed to an enhanced ability of adenylate cyclase, in membranes from hepatocytes treated with islet-activating protein, to be stimulated by glucagon. When forskolin was used to amplify the basal adenylate cyclase activity, elevated GTP concentrations were shown to inhibit adenylate cyclase activity in membranes from control hepatocytes. This inhibitory effect of GTP was abolished if the hepatocytes had been pre-treated with islet activating protein. In isolated liver plasma membranes, islet-activating protein caused the NAD-dependent ribosylation of a Mr-40000 protein, the putative inhibitory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein, Ni. This effect was inhibited if guanosine 5'-[beta-thio]diphosphate rather than GTP was present in the ribosylation incubations. The ability of glucagon to uncouple or desensitize the activity of adenylate cyclase in intact hepatocytes was also blocked by pre-treating hepatocytes with islet-activating protein. Islet-activating protein thus heightens the response of hepatocytes to the stimulatory hormone glucagon. It achieves this by both inhibiting the expression of desensitization and also removing a residual inhibitory input expressed in the presence of glucagon. 相似文献

The ability of glucagon (10 nM) to increase hepatocyte intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations was reduced markedly by the tumour-promoting phorbol ester TPA (12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate). The half-maximal inhibitory effect occurred at 0.14 ng/ml TPA. This action occurred in the presence of the cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor isobutylmethylxanthine (1 mM) indicating that TPA inhibited glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. TPA did not affect either the binding of glucagon to its receptor or ATP concentrations within the cell. TPA did inhibit the increase in intracellular cyclic AMP initiated by the action of cholera toxin (1 microgram/ml) under conditions where phosphodiesterase activity was blocked. TPA did not inhibit glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in a broken plasma membrane preparation unless Ca2+, phosphatidylserine and ATP were also present. It is suggested that TPA exerts its inhibitory effect on adenylate cyclase through the action of protein kinase C. This action is presumed to be exerted at the point of regulation of adenylate cyclase by guanine nucleotides. 相似文献

Dynamics of changes in activities of cAMP-dependent enzymes, phosphodiesterase and protein kinase, were studied in the thymus of intact and irradiated, prior to incubation, (0.05 Gy) chicken embryos and chicks. The changes observed were wave-like. In determining phosphodiesterase activity of irradiated chicken thymocytes during ontogenesis the values were obtained that correlated with the cAMP level and adenylate cyclase activity. It was also shown that the increase in the rate of cAMP-dependent phosphorylation under the effect of low-level radiation corresponded to the cyclic nucleotide content of a cell at different development stages. 相似文献

Guanine nucleotides are successfully used in the studies of regulatory N-proteins coupled with adenylate cyclase. In the present work N-chloroacetylhydrazones of oxo-GTP and oxo-GDP are described. After 4 hr preincubation of these nucleotides with plasma membranes from bovine brain caudate nucleus, the ability of adenylate cyclase to be activated by guanylyl-5'-methylene-diphosphonate is blocked. The degree of inhibition depends on preincubation time and increases in the presence of Mg2+. Guanylyl-5'-methylenediphosphonate protects adenylate cyclase from the action of N-chloroacetylhydrazone of oxo-GTP. These findings suggest that adenylate cyclase activation is diminished as a result of covalent modification of the Ns. N-chloroacetyl-hydrazone of oxo-GDP also causes a loss of the adenylate cyclase sensitivity to the fluoride ion and cholera toxin. 相似文献

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and glucagon: stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity via distinct receptors in liver and fat cell membranes 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8

Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide (VIP), a peptide hormone that is chemically and biologically related to glucagon and secretin, stimulates the activity of adenylate cyclase in liver and fat cell membranes. Effects of combinations of VIP with glucagon and secretin at concentrations that maximally activate adenylate cyclase suggest that in adipose tissue, the three hormones act on the same enzyme, whereas in liver, VIP and secretin activate a common enzyme that is distinct from that responding to glucagon. Studies with radioiodinated derivatives of VIP and glucagon indicate that these hormones interact with separate receptors. Secretin, which gives a maximal stimulation of adenylate cyclase activity virtually identical to that elicited by VIP, inhibits the binding of the latter to its receptor. However, the apparent affinity of secretin for adenylate cyclase and for the VIP receptor is about two order of magnitude lower than that of VIP. It is suggested that VIP and secretin may activate adenylate cyclase via a common receptor. 相似文献

Adenylate cyclase (EC 4.6.1.1) activity in mouse liver plasma membranes is increased fivefold when animals are pretreated with cholera toxin. The increase in activity is detectable within 20 min of an intravenous injection of the toxin. The response of the control and cholera-toxin-activated adenylate cyclase to hormones, GTP, and NaF is complex. GTP causes the same fold stimulation of control and toxin-activated cyclase, but glucagon and NaF remain the most potent activators of liver adenylate cyclase irrespective of whether the enzyme is activated by cholera toxin. Determination of kinetic parameters of adenylate cyclase indicates that cholera toxin, hormones, and NaF do not change the affinity of the enzyme for ATP-Mg nor do they alter the Ka for free Mg2+. High concentrations of Mg2+ inhibit adenylate cyclase that is stimulated by either cholera toxin, glucagon, or NaF. These same Mg2+ concentrations have no effect on the basal activity of the enzyme or its activity in the presence of GTP. 相似文献

The antiserum AS7 can specifically immunoprecipitate alpha-Gi from membrane extracts as well as from a mixture of purified alpha-Gi and alpha-Go as ascertained using [32P]ADP-ribosylated G-proteins. Using this antiserum to immunoprecipitate alpha-Gi from hepatocytes labelled with 32P it was evident that alpha-Gi was phosphorylated under basal (resting) conditions. Challenge of hepatocytes with the tumour promoting phorbol ester TPA, however, elicited a marked enhancement of the phosphorylation state of alpha-Gi. This was accompanied by the loss of inhibitory effect of Gi on adenylate cyclase, as judged by the inability of low concentrations of p[NH]ppG to inhibit forskolin-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity. Such actions were mimicked by treatment of hepatocytes with either glucagon or TH-glucagon, an analogue of glucagon which is incapable of activating adenylate cyclase and elevating intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations. Pre-treatment of hepatocytes with either glucagon, TPA or insulin did not affect the ability of pertussis toxin to cause the NAD+-dependent, [32P]ADP-ribosylation of alpha-Gi in membrane fractions isolated from such pre-treated hepatocytes. We suggest that protein kinase C can elicit the phosphorylation and functional inactivation of alpha-Gi in intact hepatocytes. As pertussis toxin only causes the ADP-ribosylation of the holomeric form of Gi, it may be that phosphorylation leaves alpha-Gi in its holomeric state. 相似文献

Regulation of adenylate cyclase by adenosine and other agonists in rat myocardial sarcolemma 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The presence of adenosine receptors coupled to adenylate cyclase in rat heart sarcolemma is demonstrated in these studies. Heart sarcolemma was isolated by the hypotonic shock-Lithium bromide treatment method. This preparation contained negligible amounts (2-4%) of contamination by other subcellular organelles such as mitochondria, sarcoplasmic reticulum, and myofibrils as verified by electron microscopic examination. In addition this preparation was also devoid of endothelial cells, since angiotensin-converting enzyme activity was not detected in this preparation. N-Ethylcarboxamide adenosine (NECA), L-N6-phenylisopropyladenosine (PIA), and adenosine N'-oxide (Ado N'-oxide) were all able to stimulate adenylate cyclase in heart sarcolemma, but not in crude homogenate, with an apparent Ka of 3-7 microM. The activation of adenylate cyclase by NECA was dependent on the concentrations of metal ions such as Mg2+ or Mn2+. The maximal stimulation was observed at lower concentrations of the metal ions (0.2-0.5 mM). At 5 mM Mg2+ or Mn2+, the stimulation by NECA was completely abolished. The stimulatory effect of NECA on adenylate cyclase was also dependent on guanine nucleotides and was blocked by 3-isobutyl-1-methylxanthine. In addition, 2'-deoxyadenosine showed an inhibitory effect on adenylate cyclase. The myocardial adenylate cyclase was also stimulated by beta-adrenergic agonists, dopamine and glucagon, and inhibited by cholinergic agonists such as carbachol and oxotremorine. The stimulation of adenylate cyclase by NECA was found to be additive with maximal stimulation obtained by epinephrine. These data suggest that rat heart sarcolemma contains adenosine (Ra), beta-adrenergic, dopaminergic, glucagon, and cholinergic receptors, and the stimulation of adenylate cyclase by epinephrine and adenosine occurs by distinctly different mechanism or adenosine and epinephrine stimulate different cyclase populations. 相似文献

The phorbol ester TPA (12-O-tetradecanoyl phorbol-13-acetate) causes a dose-dependent inhibition of the glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity expressed in plasma membranes isolated from TPA-treated hepatocytes. However, no observable inhibitory effect of TPA on adenylate cyclase activity was observed in cells which had been exposed to glucagon for 5 min, prior to isolation, to desensitise adenylate cyclase. The degree of inhibition of adenylate cyclase elicited by both glucagon desensitisation and TPA treatment of hepatocytes was identical. Pre-treatment of hepatocytes with TPA was also found to prevent glucagon from blocking insulin's activation of the peripheral plasma membrane cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase in intact hepatocytes. TPA treatment also inhibited the ability of cholera toxin to activate the peripheral cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase in intact hepatocytes. It is suggested that in these particular instances TPA and glucagon elicit mutually exclusive processes rather than TPA mimicking glucagon desensitisation per se. 相似文献

1. Synthetic lysophosphatidylcholines inhibit the glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity of rat liver plasma membranes at concentrations two to five times lower than those needed to inhibit the fluoride-stimulated activity. 2. Specific 125I-labelled glucagon binding to hormone receptors is inhibited at concentrations similar to those inhibiting the fluoride-stimulated activity. 3. At concentrations of lysophosphatidylcholines immediately below those causing inhibition, an activation of adenylate cyclase activity or hormone binding was observed. 4 These effects are essentially reversible. 5. We conclude that the increased sensitivity of glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase to inhibition may be due to the lysophosphatidylcholines interfering with the physical coupling between the hormone receptor and catalytic unit of adenylate cyclase. 6. We suggest that, in vivo, it is possible that lysophosphatidylcholines may modulate the activity of adenylate cyclase only when it is in the hormone-stimulated state. 相似文献

Adenylate cyclase activity in isolated rat liver plasma membranes was inhibited by NADH in a concentration-dependent manner. Half-maximal inhibition of adenylate cyclase was observed at 120 microM concentration of NADH. The effect of NADH was specific since adenylate cyclase activity was not altered by NAD+, NADP+, NADPH, and nicotinic acid. The ability of NADH to inhibit adenylate cyclase was not altered when the enzyme was stimulated by activating the cyclase was not altered when the enzyme was stimulated by activating the Gs regulatory element with either glucagon or cholera toxin. Similarly, inhibition of Gi function by pertussis toxin treatment of membranes did not attenuate the ability of NADH to inhibit adenylate cyclase activity. Inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity to the same extent in the presence and absence of the Gpp (NH) p suggested that NADH directly affects the catalytic subunit. This notion was confirmed by the finding that NADH also inhibited solubilized adenylate cyclase in the absence of Gpp (NH)p. Kinetic analysis of the NADH-mediated inhibition suggested that NADH competes with ATP to inhibit adenylate cyclase; in the presence of NADH (1 mM) the Km for ATP was increased from 0.24 +/- 0.02 mM to 0.44 +/- 0.08 mM with no change in Vmax. This observation and the inability of high NADH concentrations to completely inhibit the enzyme suggest that NADH interacts at a site(s) on the enzyme to increase the Km for ATP by 2-fold and this inhibitory effect is overcome at high ATP concentrations. 相似文献

This study was aimed to elucidate whether GDP can mediate hormonal signal to adenylate cyclase in hepatic glucagon sensitive adenylate cyclase with ATP as substrate. Conversion of added GDP to GTP catalyzed by nucleoside diphosphate kinase was suppressed to less than 0.3% of added GDP by including UDP. Inhibition of this enzyme activity by UDP was accompanied by a preferential loss of the stimulatory effect of glucagon plus GDP on cyclase activity without changes in effects of glucagon plus GTP, glucagon plus guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imino)triphosphate, and NaF. Under this condition, i.e. in the presence of UDP, GDP competitively inhibited the actions of GTP (Ki for GDP, 1 microM) and guanosine 5'-(beta, gamma-imino)triphosphate in the presence of glucagon, the inhibition being complete at high GDP concentrations. GDP also inhibited cyclase activity stimulated by NaF with UDP but did only slightly without UDP. It was demonstrated that nucleoside diphosphate kinase is located in membranes in addition to cytosol fraction. However, the activity of membrane-associated enzyme was not affected by the addition of glucagon. Based on these observations, it is concluded that GDP is unable to mediate hormonal signal to adenylate cyclase and that it acts as an inhibitor of cyclase activity stimulated by GTP or its analog along with hormone. The results suggest a possible role of membrane-associated nucleoside diphosphate kinase in determining GTP and GDP levels at or near their binding site so as to replenish GTP and, thereby, decrease the inhibitory action of GDP when hormone is present. 相似文献

The activities of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase (3',5'-cyclic nucleotide 5'-nucleotidohydrolase, EC 3.1.4.17) and adenylate cyclase [ATP pyrophosphate-lyase (cyclizing), EC 4.6.1.1] and calmodulin content during development of chick ventricular myocardium were determined. The specific activity of cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase was relatively low in early embryos, increased during embryogenesis by about 4-fold to reach highest values just before hatching, and then decreased by approx. 30% within 1 week after hatching. In contrast, adenylate cyclase did not change during embryonic development, but increased by approx. 50% within 1 week after hatching. Calmodulin content remained constant at 9 micrograms/g wet wt. during embryonic development and decreased to 6 micrograms/g wet wt. by 1 week after hatching. DEAE-Sephacel chromatography of chick ventricular supernatant revealed a single major form of cyclic nucleotide phosphodiesterase activity in early embryonic (9-day E) and hatched (6-day H) chicks. This enzyme form was eluted at approx. 0.27 M-sodium acetate, hydrolysed both cyclic AMP and cyclic GMP, and was sensitive to stimulation by Ca2+-calmodulin, with an apparent Km for calmodulin of approx. 1 nM. In contrast, ventricular supernatant from late-embryonic (18-day E) chicks contained two forms of phosphodiesterase separable on DEAE-Sephacel: the same form as that seen at other ages, plus a cyclic AMP-specific form which was eluted at approx. 0.65 M-sodium acetate and was insensitive to stimulation by Ca2+-calmodulin. The ontogenetic changes in cyclic AMP phosphodiesterase activity in chick ventricular myocardium are consistent with reported ontogenetic changes in the steady-state contents of cyclic AMP in this tissue and suggest that this enzyme may be responsible for the changes that occur in this nucleotide during development of chick myocardium. 相似文献

Molybdate activation of rat liver plasma membrane adenylate cyclase has been examined and compared with the effect of glucagon, Gpp(NG)p and fluoride. Glucagon does not stimulate the detergent solubilized enzyme, though molybdate, fluoride, and Gpp(NH)p are effective in this regard. The stimulatory effects of either fluoride or molybdate are additive with those of GTP and do not require guanyl nucleotide to evoke their activation. Neither fluoride nor molybdate can substitute for GTP when glucagon is the activator of rat liver adenylate cyclase. The stimulatory effects of either ion on adenylate cyclase are additive with that produced by glucagon. Activation of adenylate cyclase by either molybdate or fluoride occurs by a mechanism distinct from that of glucagon or guanyl nucleotide. The data presented here suggest that fluoride and molybdate may act via a similar mechanism of action. Neither ion displays a lag in activation of adenylate cyclase. The pH profiles of fluoride and molybdate-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity are similar, and distinct from guanyl nucleotide-stimulated activity. Cholera toxin treatment of adenylate cyclase blocks fluoride and molybdate stimulation of the enzyme to the same extent, while enhancing the activation obtained with GTP and hormones. 相似文献

Atria isolated from 4-day chick embryos were much less responsive to the negative chronotropic effect of muscarinic agonists than were atria from 5- or 8-day embryos, even though the density of muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChR) was similar at all these ages. The mAChR in hearts from 4-day embryos were also significantly less susceptible to regulation of receptor number by in vivo agonist treatment and required a 2-5-fold greater dose of the muscarinic agonist carbachol to achieve a decrease in receptor number equivalent to that observed in 5- or 8-day embryonic hearts. When 4-day atrial membranes were assayed in physiological buffers, agonist binding to the mAChR was not regulated by GTP unless a sulfhydryl reducing agent was present. Receptors from 5- and 8-day embryos did not require addition of a sulfhydryl reducing agent in order to see guanine nucleotide effects on agonist binding. Even in the presence of a sulfhydryl reducing agent, carbachol binding to the mAChR in 4-day membranes was much less sensitive to guanyl-5'-yl imidodiphosphate (GppNHp) than binding to mAChR in 5- or 8-day membranes. In addition, forskolin-activated adenylate cyclase activity was much less sensitive to inhibition by GppNHp in membranes from 4-day atria than from 5- and 8-day atria. The GTP-binding component (NI) which couples the mAChR to inhibition of adenylate cyclase activity was examined by covalent modification with pertussis toxin.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

Treatment of intact hepatocytes with glucagon, TH-glucagon [( 1-N-alpha-trinitrophenylhistidine, 12-homoarginine]glucagon), angiotensin or vasopressin led to a rapid time- and dose-dependent loss of the glucagon-stimulated response of the adenylate cyclase activity seen in membrane fractions isolated from these cells. Intracellular cyclic AMP concentrations were only elevated with glucagon. All ligands were capable of causing both desensitization/loss of glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity and stimulation of inositol phospholipid metabolism in the intact hepatocytes. Maximally effective doses of angiotensin precluded any further inhibition/desensitizing action when either glucagon or TH-glucagon was subsequently added to these intact cells, as has been shown previously for the phorbol ester TPA (12-O-tetradecanoylphorbol 13-acetate) [Heyworth, Wilson, Gawler & Houslay (1985) FEBS Lett. 187, 196-200]. Treatment of intact hepatocytes with these various ligands caused a selective loss of the glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity in a washed membrane fraction and did not alter the basal, GTP-, NaF- and forskolin-stimulated responses. Angiotensin failed to inhibit glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase activity when added directly to a washed membrane fraction from control cells. Glucagon GR2 receptor-stimulated adenylate cyclase is suggested to undergo desensitization/uncoupling through a cyclic AMP-independent process, which involves the stimulation of inositol phospholipid metabolism by glucagon acting through GR1 receptors. This action can be mimicked by other hormones which act on the liver to stimulate inositol phospholipid metabolism. As the phorbol ester TPA also mimics this process, it is proposed that protein kinase C activation plays a pivotal role in the molecular mechanism of desensitization of glucagon-stimulated adenylate cyclase. The site of the lesion in desensitization is shown to be at the level of coupling between the glucagon receptor and the stimulatory guanine nucleotide regulatory protein Gs, and it is suggested that one or both of these components may provide a target for phosphorylation by protein kinase C. 相似文献

Acylation of the alpha- and epsilon-amino groups of histidine-1 and lysine-12 in glucagon with citraconic anhydride resulted in the formation of amide bonds which displayed different stabilities to hydrolysis under mild acid conditions. Treatment of N alpha,epsilon-dicitraconyl glucagon at pH 4.0 and room temperature regenerated the free epsilon-amino group within 16 h, while the citraconyl-alpha-amino group was stable. N alpha-Citraconyl glucagon was purified by anion-exchange chromatography and was a weak partial agonist in stimulating adenylate cyclase in rat liver plasma membranes. The derivative exhibited 1% of the biological potency and 35-40% of the maximal stimulation of glucagon. Binding affinity to plasma membranes was also reduced, but not to as great an extent as adenylate cyclase activity. Removal of the alpha-citraconyl group by treatment with 10 mM HCl at 40 degrees C restored full potency and stimulation to glucagon. These results suggest that the N-terminal histidine of glucagon is involved in both binding to plasma membranes and transduction of the signal to adenylate cyclase. 相似文献

1. The irradiation-inactivation procedure was used to study changes in the state of association of the protein components of adenylate cyclase in intact rat liver plasma membranes by measurement of alterations in the target size determined from the catalytic activity of the enzyme. 2. A decrease in target size at 30 degrees C in response to p[NH]ppG (guanosine 5'-[betagamma-imido]triphosphate) or GTP was demonstrated, which we take to reflect the dissociation of a regulatory subunit. The effect of GTP is potentiated by glucagon. This effect is not observed at 0 degrees C. 3. An increase in target size was observed in response to glucagon in the absence of guanine nucleotides, which we take to reflect the association of glucagon receptor with adenylate cyclase. 4. We propose a model for the activation of adenylate cyclase by glucagon in which the binding of the hormone to its receptor causes an initial association of the receptor with the catalytic unit of the enzyme and a regulatory subunit to form a ternary complex. The subsequent activation of the adenylate cyclase results from the dissociation of the ternary complex to leave a free catalytic unit in the activated state. This dissociation requires the binding of a guanine nucleotide to the regulatory subunit. 5. The effects of variation of temperature on the activation of adenylate cyclase by glucagon and guanine nucleotides were examined and are discussed in relation to the irradiation-activation data. 6. The effectiveness of hormones, guanine nucleotides and combinations of hormone and guanine nucleotides as activators of adenylate cyclase in both rat liver and rat fat-cell plasma membranes was studied and the results are discussed in relation to the model proposed, which is also considered in relation to the observations published by other workers. 相似文献
