Cultures of adipose tissue explants are a valuable tool for studying the intracellular mechanisms involving hormones and nutrients. However, testing how fatty acids affect cells requires a carrier molecule; bovine serum albumin (BSA) has been used for this purpose. However, contaminants can alter the cellular response. Our objectives were to: 1) test BSA as a fatty acid carrier and 2) evaluate polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) as a replacement for BSA. Adipose tissue explants from nine pigs were cultured in medium 199 for 4, 12, 24, and 48 h, with the following treatments: control, PVA (100 mM PVA added) and PVA + pGH (100 mM PVA plus 0.1 mg/mL porcine growth hormone). After each culture period, explants were collected and assayed for lipogenesis. After 48 h in culture, explants were assayed for lipolysis. A preliminary study with different commercial sources and high concentrations showed that BSA affected lipogenic rates. On the other hand, there were no effects of PVA on lipid synthesis, while pGH (positive control) reduced glucose incorporation into lipids (P < 0.01) when compared to both control and PVA (P < 0.05). There was no difference between control and PVA for lipolysis rates. However, pGH increased lipolysis when compared to control (P < 0.01) and PVA (P < 0.05). We demonstrated that BSA can alter lipogenesis, which precludes its use as a carrier molecule. On the other hand, addition of PVA had no effect on lipolysis or lipogenesis. We suggest the use of PVA instead of BSA for adding bioactive fatty acids to cultures of adipose tissue. 相似文献

Gametogenesis in Calcarea is still poorly known; therefore, in this work, we describe the gametogenesis of Paraleucilla magna (Porifera, Calcarea) using light and electron microscopy. Male and female gametes derived from choanocytes. Oocytes grew
inside a follicle-like structure composed of pinacocyte-like cells and choanocytes. They were nourished through nutrient transfer
from nurse cells and through bacteria phagocytosis, which was never documented for a calcarean species. Mature oocytes were
typical, spherical, with nucleolated nuclei and a cytoplasm filled with different types of inclusions and digestive vesicles.
Nuage was also found. Spermatogenesis occurred in the lumen of differentiated choanocyte chambers, and spermatic cysts were
never formed. Spherical spermatogonia without flagellum or collar were derived from hourglass-shaped primordial germ cells.
Spermatozoa were of the ‘aberrant type’, showed a compact electron-dense nucleus and a homogeneous granulated body in its
cytoplasm. The gametogenesis of P. magna is similar to what has been observed for other Porifera and Eumetazoa. 相似文献

One of 500 rhizobacteria isolated from soil, rhizosphere and rhizoplane of healthy tomato plants was previously selected in laboratory, greenhouse and field tests as a good inducer of systemic resistance. This plant growth‐promoting rhizobacterium (PGPR) was identified as Bacillus cereus by fatty‐acid analysis. Bacillus cereus bacterial cells were removed from liquid culture by centrifugation and the supernatant repeatedly dialyzed (cut‐off = 12 000 daltons) against distilled water. Dialysates applied to roots protected tomato plants against leaf fungal and bacterial pathogens, evidence that macromolecules synthesized by the PGPR and released into the environment act as elicitors of systemic resistance. 相似文献

Ribosomal protein S14 genes (RPS14) in eukaryotic species from protozoa to
primates exhibit dramatically different intron-exon structures yet share
homologous polypeptide-coding sequences. To recognize common features of
RPS14 gene architectures in closely related mammalian species and to
evaluate similarities in their noncoding DNA sequences, we isolated the
intron-containing S14 locus from Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell DNA by
using a PCR strategy and compared it with human RPS14. We found that rodent
and primate S14 genes are composed of identical protein-coding exons
interrupted by introns at four conserved DNA sites. However, the structures
of corresponding CHO and human RPS14 introns differ significantly.
Nonetheless, individual intron splice donor, splice acceptor, and upstream
flanking motifs have been conserved within mammalian S14 homologues as well
as within RPS14 gene fragments PCR amplified from other vertebrate genera
(birds and bony fish). Our data indicate that noncoding, intronic DNA
sequences within highly conserved, single-copy ribosomal protein genes are
useful molecular landmarks for phylogenetic analysis of closely related
vertebrate species.

One of the main characteristics of sponges is their capacity for cell dedifferentiation. This capability can allow an impressive amount of asexual reproduction in these animals, because they are able to develop new individuals from just a few somatic cells. Studies of dedifferentiation, however, have focused mainly on sponges of the class Demospongiae. Therefore, we investigated here whether individuals of three different species of Calcarea are able to reconstitute new individuals following artificial fragmentation. We observed that fragmentation releases clumps of choanoderm able to initiate somatic embryogenesis. In Borojevia brasiliensis (asconoid aquiferous system, subclass Calcinea) and Paraleucilla magna (leuconoid aquiferous system, subclass Calcaronea), these clumps started to develop, but they did not pass through the first developmental phases. In Sycettusa hastifera (syconoid aquiferous system, subclass Calcaronea), the choanoderm was reorganized into primmorphs that fused to each other and formed an exopinacoderm. The first primmorphs’ spicules were triactines. Despite a large mortality rate, the primmorphs developed into olynthus stages. The somatic embryogenesis and the metamorphosis of the olynthus were similar to those observed during the sexual development of this and other calcareous sponge species. Our results show that in S. hastifera, and perhaps in other syconoid calcareous sponges, somatic embryogenesis occurs mainly from choanocytes, at least in vitro. However, primmorph development does not follow the same pattern observed in post‐metamorphic sexual development, as in that case diactines are always the first spicules to be synthesized in calcaronean species. 相似文献

Androphilia refers to attraction to adult males, whereas gynephilia refers to attraction to adult females. The current study employed self-report and viewing time (response time latency) measures of sexual attraction to determine the sexual orientation of Samoan cisgender men (i.e., males whose gender presentation and identity is concordant with their biological sex) who engage in sexual interactions with transgender male androphiles (known locally as fa’afafine) compared to: (1) Samoan cisgender men who only engage in sexual interactions with women, and (2) fa’afafine. As expected, both measures indicated that cisgender men who only engaged in sexual interactions with women exhibited a gynephilic pattern of sexual attraction, whereas fa’afafine exhibited an androphilic one. In contrast, both measures indicated that cisgender men who engaged in sexual interactions with fa’afafine demonstrated a bisexual pattern of sexual attraction. Most of the cisgender men who exhibited bisexual viewing times did not engage in sexual activity with both men and women indicating that the manner in which bisexual patterns of sexual attraction manifest behaviorally vary from one culture to the next. 相似文献

Two species of ocean skaters, Halobates germanus and Halobates micans, live in the tropical and subtropical waters of the Indian Ocean. From December 1992 to December 1993, Halobates was intensively sampled in the easternmost region of the South Indian Ocean (13–18.5°S, 114–121E°), from which there have been a small number of records of Halobates. No H. germanus was caught, but a total of 1190 H. micans were collected, with densities estimated at 13 900–28 100 individuals/km2. This suggests that H. micans lives in the study area at high densities comparable to those in the Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans. We also discuss the possible effects of ocean currents and winds on the geographic distributions of the two Halobates species in the eastern South Indian Ocean. 相似文献
