冷驯化条件下长爪沙鼠血清瘦素浓度的变化及其与能量收支和产热的关系

为研究低温胁迫条件下长爪沙鼠的适应对策及瘦素对体重和能量平衡的调节作用 ,我们将 7只成年雌性长爪沙鼠在 5℃条件下驯化 2 1d ,另选 7只作为对照 ,对体重、血清瘦素含量、体脂含量、摄入能、基础代谢率、非颤抖性产热等进行了测定。结果发现 :1 ) 5℃条件下长爪沙鼠的体重没有明显变化 ;2 ) 5℃条件下长爪沙鼠的血清瘦素浓度和体脂含量均明显低于对照组 ,且瘦素浓度与体脂含量呈显著正相关 ;3) 5℃条件下长爪沙鼠的摄入能、基础代谢率和非颤抖性产热等显著高于对照。这些结果表明 :长爪沙鼠在低温条件下产热能力和自身维持能量消耗都增加 ,能量摄入因此而增加 ;瘦素参与了能量平衡和体重的调节 ,但没有直接参与产热调节

Inhibitory effect of obestatin on glucose-induced insulin secretion in rats

Obestatin is a bioactive peptide encoded by the same gene that encodes ghrelin. Our aim was to investigate the effect of obestatin on insulin secretion. We evaluated the effects of obestatin on insulin secretion from rat islet cells which had been incubated overnight in the presence of 8.3, 11.1, and 22.2 mmol/l of glucose. In vivo, the serum levels of glucose and insulin were measured 0, 1, 5, 10, 20, 40, and 60 min after the intravenous administration of saline or glucose (1 g/kg), with or without obestatin, and the area under the 60 min curve of insulin concentration (AUC_insulin) was calculated. Obestatin (0.01-100 nmol/l) inhibited insulin secretion from rat islets in a dose-dependent fashion. In vivo, when administered intravenously to rats together with glucose, obestatin (10, 50, and 250 nmol/kg) inhibited both the rapid 1-min insulin response and the AUC_insulin in a dose-dependent fashion. Our data demonstrate that under glucose-stimulated conditions, exogenous obestatin acts as a potent inhibitor of insulin secretion in anaesthetized rats in vivo as well as in cultured islets in vitro.     

Co-segregation of the T1095C with the A1555G mutation of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA gene in a patient with non-syndromic hearing loss

We reported here the clinical and molecular characterization of a Chinese subject with childhood-onset hearing impairment. Clinical evaluations showed that the patient suffered from profound and non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss with flat configurations. Sequence analysis of the mitochondrial 12S rRNA and tRNA^Ser(UCN) genes led to the identification of double deafness-associated mutations of A1555G and T1095C in the 12S rRNA gene which apparently in the homoplasmic forms. In additional, there was no other functionally significant nucleotide variants found in this subject. As previous studies have indicated that the A1555G mutation was a primary contributing factor underlying the development of deafness but not sufficient to produce clinical phenotype, the co-segregation of two mitochondrial DNA mutations raises the possibility that the T to C transition at position 1095 plays a role in the phenotypic expression of deafness-associated A1555G mutation. Actually, the T1095C mutation disrupted an evolutionarily conserved base-pair at stem-loop of helix 25 of 12S rRNA, resulting in impaired translation in mitochondrial protein synthesis and a significant reduction of cytochrome c oxidase activity. As a result, it may enhance the biochemical defect in patient carrying the A1555G mutation, thus changing the age of onset and the severity of hearing impairment.
