G protein-coupled receptor (GPR) 120 is an unsaturated fatty acid receptor, which is
associated with various physiological functions. It is reported that the genetic variant
of GPR120, p.Arg270His, is detected more in obese people, and this genetic variation
functionally relates to obesity in humans. Obesity is a common nutritional disorder also
in dogs, but the genetic factors have not ever been identified in dogs. In this study, we
investigated the molecular structure of canine GPR120 and searched for candidate genetic
variants which may relate to obesity in dogs. Canine GPR120 was highly homologous to those
of other species, and seven transmembrane domains and two N-glycosylation sites were
conserved. GPR120 mRNA was expressed in lung, jejunum, ileum, colon, hypothalamus,
hippocampus, spinal cord, bone marrow, dermis and white adipose tissues in dogs, as those
in mice and humans. Genetic variants of GPR120 were explored in client-owned 141 dogs,
resulting in that 5 synonymous and 4 non-synonymous variants were found. The variant
c.595C>A (p.Pro199Thr) was found in 40 dogs, and the gene frequency was significantly
higher in dogs with higher body condition scores, i.e. 0.320 in BCS4–5 dogs, 0.175 in BCS3
dogs and 0.000 in BCS2 dogs. We conclude that c.595C>A (p.Pro199Thr) is a candidate
variant relating to obesity, which may be helpful for nutritional management of dogs. 相似文献

One hundred and twenty
stranding events of Stejneger’s beaked whales were reported in Japan between 1999 and
2011. The purpose of this study is to introduce pathological data and to discuss probable
causes of death for 44 Stejneger’s beaked whales among them. The significant pathological
findings were the pulmonary edema, parasitic granulomatous nephritis, emaciation,
amyloidosis, suppurative bronchopneumonia and so on. The probable causes of death were
categorized as noninfectious in 43 of the cases, which included drowning, starvation and
secondary amyloidosis. One individual was diagnosed with septicemia, which was the only
example of an infectious disease. Because we could not always perform advanced analyses,
such as microbiology tests, biotoxin examinations or contaminant analyses, the finality of
our findings may be impaired. However, the present study has broad implications on the
causes of death of Stejneger’s beaked whales of the seas around Japan, which are valuable
for the future studies and for the detection of emerging diseases. 相似文献

The Spontaneously Diabetic Torii (SDT) fatty rat, a model for obese type 2 diabetes,
shows bone quantitative abnormalities, namely low bone mineral density (BMD). The
objective of this study was to evaluate bone morphological changes, in particular
identifying the bone qualitative abnormalities, in the SDT fatty rat. Male SDT fatty rats
showed increases in total trabecular area and trabecular number and decreases in
trabecular thickness in cancellous bones of the proximal tibia, indicating trabecular
miniaturization. The SDT fatty rat is useful for investigation of pathophysiological
changes in bone quality in diabetic osteoporosis. 相似文献

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of the canine cranial cruciate
ligament repair system on laryngeal hemiplegia in heavy draft horses. Twenty-four heavy
draft horses diagnosed with grade 4 laryngeal hemiplegia were allocated to either the
prosthetic laryngoplasty (PL) group (n=14) or a canine cranial cruciate ligament repair
system (CCCLRS) group (n=10). Right to left angle quotients (RLQs) of abductions of the
arytenoid cartilages were endoscopically evaluated before and after surgery.
Post-operative RLQs in the CCCLRS group were significantly lower than those of the PL
group (P<0.01). The canine cranial cruciate ligament repair system was revealed to be a
good surgical procedure for laryngeal hemiplegia in heavy draft horses. 相似文献

Marbling, defined by the amount and distribution of intramuscular fat, is an economically important trait of beef cattle in Japan. The endothelial differentiation , sphingolipid G-protein-coupled receptor , 1 ( EDG1 ) gene has been considered as a positional functional candidate for the gene responsible for marbling. We have recently reported that 2 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), c.-312A > G in the 5' untranslated region (UTR) and c.*446G > A in the 3' UTR in EDG1 were associated with marbling in Japanese Black beef cattle, but this was not functional and a causal mutation for marbling. In the present study, we detected 2 novel SNPs, referred to as g.1475435G > A and g.1471620G > T , in the 5' flanking region of the EDG1 between low-marbled and high-marbled steer groups, which were previously shown to have EDG1 expression differences in musculus longissimus muscle. The g.1475435G > A SNP seemed not to segregate in Japanese Black beef cattle. The g.1471620G > T SNP was associated with the predicted breeding value for beef marbling standard number by the analyses using Japanese Black beef cattle population. Based on these findings, we hypothesized that the g.1471620G > T SNP might have an impact on EDG1 expression and also marbling. 相似文献

Purification and properties of β-galactosidase from Tilapia intestine: Digestive enzyme of Tilapia-X
ABSTRACT: β-galactosidase of the intestine of Tilapia nilotica was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, followed by PAPTG-Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography, ethylenediamineetetraacetic acid ion-exchange chromatography, polyexchanger PBE 94 chromatofocusing, and Sephadex G-100 gel filtration. β-galactosidase was found to be a single band when examined by poly-acrylamide gel electrophoresis. The purifications of β-galactosidase were 27-fold from the crude extract. β-galactosidase showed optimum activity at pH 5.0 at 40°C, and was specifically found to be able to hydrolyze p -nitrophenyl β-galactopyranoside. It degrades galactan and agarose, and produces galactose. β-galactosidase was strongly inhibited by Hg2+ and PCMB. β-galactosidase is considered to be secreted by the upper and middle parts of the intestine and most of the activity was detected in the intestinal juice. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: In order to find out the role of sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3 ) on the initiation of sperm motility in the Japanese eel Anguilla japonica , interactions were investigated between NaHCO3 and various reagents (K+ channel blocker 4-aminopyridine [4-AP], ammonium chloride [NH4 Cl], sodium acetate and calcium chloride [CaCl2 ]) that could regulate internal factors (intracellular K+ , intracellular pH [[pH]i ] and intracellular Ca2+ ) in sperm motility. Contradictory effects of NaHCO3 were observed (i.e. an inhibitory effect when 4-AP was absent and a promoting effect when 4-AP was present). Sodium bicarbonate inhibited the initiation of sperm motility in the Japanese eel. However, NaHCO3 restored the motility of immotile sperm that 4-AP inhibited. The inhibitory effect of NaHCO3 disappeared with the addition of NH4 Cl, which raised [pH]i , but the promoting effect was not affected by [pH]i . Although NaHCO3 recovered motility in the presence of 4-AP, this recovery was also observed with the addition of CaCl2 instead of NaHCO3 . In the initiation of sperm motility in the Japanese eel, two roles for NaHCO3 are suggested: an inhibitory role relating to the regulation of [pH]i and a promoting role relating to the uptake of another initiation factor, which could be Ca2+ . 相似文献
