Habits,habitats, and heredity: A brief history of studies in human plasticity

There has long been controversy concerning the relative importance of environment and ancestry in determining the characteristics of living creatures including members of the human species. At the beginning of the present century most biologists and anthropologists seem to have assumed that environment had little or no effect upon our bodily traits. We inherited them. The studies of Franz Boas on Changes in Bodily Form of Descendants of Immigrants cast doubts upon this assumption, and provoked considerable resentment. Since 1911, however, quite a few scholars have confirmed and elaborated upon the findings of Boas. At the same time, many other studies have demonstrated secular changes bodily size and shape within quite a few different populations. The idea of bodily plasticity has therefore, by this decade, become quite acceptable. This paper recounts the historical sequence of events leading to the change in anthropological assumptions, mentioning the scholars whose work contributed to this Important advance in scientific understanding.     

Culture media for mouse oocyte maturation affect subsequent embryonic development

These experiments were done to determine whether the culture medium used for the spontaneous maturation of mouse oocytes can affect the subsequent capacity of the ova to become fertilized and complete preimplantation development in vitro and development to live young. Oocytes obtained from antral follicles of gonadotropin-primed immature mice underwent spontaneous maturation in control medium, i.e. Eagle's Minimum Essential Medium (MEM) supplemented with 5% fetal bovine serum, or in one of eight different media which were also supplemented with serum. All of the ova were fertilized in Whitten's medium and were assessed for cleavage to the 2-cell stage and for further preimplantation development to blastocysts during culture in Whitten's medium. Three of the eight media used for oocyte maturation improved the capacity of the ova to develop to the blastocyst stage when compared with the control: Waymouth MB 752/1, MEM with non-essential amino acids, and MEM Alpha; Waymouth medium promoted the highest frequency of development of ova to the blastocyst stage. Moreover, the blastocysts derived from oocytes that matured in Waymouth medium contained more cells than blastocysts derived from oocytes that matured in control medium. Although BGJb medium promoted the cleavage of eggs to the 2-cell stage when present during oocyte maturation, it had a detrimental effect on their subsequent preimplantation developmental capacity. Following transfer to foster mothers, more 2-cell stage embryos developed to live young after oocyte maturation in Waymouth medium (21%) than in control medium (13%).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)     

Cytochrome P450 mediates dopamine formation in the brain in vivo

The cytochrome P450-mediated synthesis of dopamine from tyramine has been shown in vitro. The aim of the present study was to demonstrate the ability of rat cytochrome P450 (CYP) 2D to synthesize dopamine from tyramine in the brain in vivo. We employed two experimental models using reserpinized rats with a blockade of the classical pathway of dopamine synthesis from tyrosine. Model A estimated dopamine production from endogenous tyramine in brain structures in vivo (ex vivo measurement of a tissue dopamine level), while Model B measured extracellular dopamine produced from exogenous tyramine (an in vivo microdialysis). In Model A, quinine (a CYP2D inhibitor) given intraperitoneally caused a significant decrease in dopamine level in the striatum and nucleus accumbens and tended to fall in the substantia nigra and frontal cortex. In Model B, an increase in extracellular dopamine level was observed after tyramine given intrastructurally (the striatum). After joint administration of tyramine and quinine, the amount of the dopamine formed was significantly lower compared to the group receiving tyramine only. The results of the two complementary experimental models indicate that the hydroxylation of tyramine to dopamine may take place in rat brain in vivo, and that CYP2D catalyzes this reaction.
