The objective of this study was to investigate the efficacy of active immunization against gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) in male pigs and to compare it with surgical castration. Piglets were randomly assigned to two groups, one of 263 animals for surgical castration (SC) and one of 270 animals for immunocastration (IC). Surgery was done at 14 days of age and vaccination (Improvac®, CSL, Australia) performed twice at an interval of 4-5 weeks with the second injection given 4-7 weeks before slaughter. At slaughter, testes were weighed and fat samples collected for androstenone analysis. Androstenone was tested olfactorially by heating salivary glands in a microwave oven. Daily growth rate and meat quality were assessed in all animals. Regarding mean androstenone concentrations in backfat, no significant difference was found between SC and IC (0.042 (0.041; 0.044) μg/g vs. 0.058 (0.044; 0.071) μg/g; mean (95% confidence interval)). Testes weight was significantly (P<0.001) smaller in immunized (230.8 g (218.23; 243.52)) as compared to normal boars (761.8 g (722.77; 801.01)) of the same age, as a reference. In this study, androstenone production was suppressed in all vaccinated animals and the carcasses given free for consumption. Mean daily growth gain was not significantly different between SC (0.817 kg (0.804; 0.830)) and IC (0.827 kg (0.814; 0.840)), although there was a trend for better performance in the latter group. The yield of lean meat was significantly (P<0.001) improved in IC (54.50% (54.26; 54.73)) when compared to SC (53.76% (53.53; 54.00)). From our results, we conclude that vaccination against GnRH is a practical and effective method to suppress androstenone synthesis. Pain and stress associated with surgical castration can thus be avoided. 相似文献

猪GnRH受体基因多态性分析及相关基因组织表达谱的构建 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)受体基因与猪的繁殖性状密切相关,本试验对不同猪种的GnRH受体基因的编码区进行了SSCP分析,未发现多态性。在GnRH受体基因5′侧翼序列上设计引物扩增了该基因大约2000 bp的侧翼序列,通过比对设计引物,对其中的一段含有GAGABox的插入突变序列和一段由于点突变而形成转录调控蛋白结合序列IRF-1的区域运用SSCP的方法进行了多态性分析。结果表明在插入突变处,基因频率在不同的猪种间存在着很大的差异性,其中民猪与其他猪种的差异性最大。IRF突变只存在于民猪中,并且只存在AA型和AB型。构建了3头大白猪母猪GnRH基因、GnRH受体基因、卵泡抑素(FST)基因、促卵泡素(FSH)基因、FSH受体基因、促黄体素(LH)基因、抑制素(inhibin)β(a)基因、inhibinβ(b)基因的组织表达谱,根据表达谱可以推测在下丘脑-脑垂体-性腺轴外不存在这些基因表达产物的相互作用系统。 相似文献

This study reports the immunohistochemical localization and distribution of orexin A and B-like and their receptors-like peptides in the gastroenteric tract of chicken. The immunoreactivity is distributed in endocrine cells, nerve fibers and neurons, both in the stomach and intestine, and shows a discrete conformity with the data till now reported for Mammals. Our study suggests a possible participation of orexin-like peptides in the modulation of chicken gastroenteric activities and the preservation of their main distribution compared to Mammals. Western blot analysis has confirmed the presence of prepro-orexin and both receptors in the examined tissues. 相似文献

西农莎能奶山羊和布尔山羊GnRH基因多态性与产羔数的相关分析 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
根据牛GnRH基N序列设计4对引物,采用PCR—SSCP技术检测GnRH基因的多态性,同时用最小二乘法研究了其多态性与产羔数和生长体质量的关系。所研究的西农莎能奶山羊和布尔山羊群体在P4扩增片段存在多态性,分别定义为CC、CT和TT3种基因型;P1、P2和P3扩增片段均不存在多态性,只表现一种带型。通过测序发现CC型与GG型相比扩增片段的第185、336bp处同时有C—T的单碱基突变。在西农莎能奶山羊和布尔山羊群体中,CC和CT基因型产羔数最小二乘均值均极显著或显著高于TT基因型(P〈0.05)。研究结果表明,GnRH基因对西农莎能奶山羊和布尔山羊的产羔数均有显著影响,因此认为GnRH基因P4扩增位点的突变可作为西农莎能奶山羊和布尔山羊多胎性状的有效分子标记。 相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the presence and the distribution of cells containing orexin A and orexin type 2 receptor in the horse stomach and gut, by means of immunohistochemical techniques.Orexin A was identified in the stomach fundic and pyloric regions and in the duodenum. In the same stomach regions, a large subset of orexin A-positive cells also showed orexin type 2 receptor-like immunoreactivity. Moreover, in the duodenum, many of them, seemed to store serotonin.Characteristically, enteric neurons or ganglia also displayed orexin A and, sometimes, orexin type 2 receptor immunoreaction.Orexin A and orexin type 2 receptor immunoreactivity was also found in the nerve fibers in the enteric submucosal layer.Our results, together with data present in the literature, could contribute to the understanding of complex mechanisms regulating the horse gut functionality that are depending very likely on the consequence of the co-operation of both a central and a peripheral control. 相似文献

Kisspeptin neurons in the arcuate nucleus (ARC), which co-express neurokinin B (NKB) and dynorphin A, are termed KNDy neurons. These neurons are candidates for the intrinsic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) pulse generator. The central and peripheral administration of NKB or its receptor (NK3R) agonist evokes GnRH pulse generator activity and the subsequent pulsatile GnRH/luteinizing hormone (LH) secretion. However, the mechanism responsible for neural activation of the GnRH pulse generator in goats is unclear. We conducted electrophysiological and histochemical experiments to test the hypothesis that KNDy neurons receive NKB and that the signal is transmitted bilaterally to a population of KNDy neurons. Bilateral electrodes aimed at a cluster of KNDy neurons were inserted into the ovariectomized goat ARC. We observed the GnRH pulse generator activity, represented by characteristic increases in multiple-unit activity (MUA volleys). The unilateral administration of NKB or vehicle in the close vicinity of KNDy neurons under simultaneous MUA recording from both sides revealed that only NKB evoked MUA volley(s) immediately after administration. The timing of the MUA volley(s) evoked on the ipsilateral side was synchronized to that on the contralateral side. The double-labeled ISH for KISS1 and TACR3, which encode kisspeptin and NK3R, respectively, revealed that most KNDy neurons co-expressed TACR3. Therefore, NKB could directly stimulate KNDy neurons, following which the stimulatory signal is immediately transmitted to the entire population of KNDy neurons via connection with their fibers. This mechanism helps synchronize burst activity among KNDy neurons, thereby generating neural signals that govern pulsatile GnRH secretion. 相似文献

山羊GnRH和促性腺激素的释放特点 总被引:18,自引:1,他引:18
通过外科手术分别连续收集活体山羊中黄体期及早卵泡期的垂体门脉血样和外周血样,经放射免疫测定,山羊中黄体期和早卵泡期的促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)、促黄体生成素(LH)和促卵泡素(FSH)均呈波动式释放。在早卵泡期,FSH单位时间内波动次数和血浆平均水平显著高于中黄体期;GnRH与LH的波动型基本一致,FSH的变化不太规则。表明山羊垂体促性腺激素的释放受丘脑下部GnRH的调节,但FSH似乎还存在其他调节机理。 相似文献

Two gonadotropin-releasing hormone receptors (GnRH-Rs) have been characterized in chickens to date: cGnRH-R-I and cGnRH-R-III, with cGnRH-R-III being the predominant pituitary form. The purpose of the present study was to first validate a novel antibody for the specific detection of cGnRH-R-III and second, using this antibody, detect changes in cGnRH-R-III protein levels in the pituitary gland of male and female chickens during a reproductive cycle. The localization of cGnRH-R-III within the anterior pituitary gland was also determined. Western blotting of pituitary extracts and transiently transfected COS-7 cell lysates revealed that our antibody is highly specific to cGnRH-R-III protein. Similarly, when used in immunocytochemistry, this antibody specifically detects cells expressing cGnRH-R-III and not cGnRH-R-I. Western blot analyses of chicken pituitary gland homogenates show that cGnRH-R-III protein levels are significantly greater in sexually mature birds than in immature birds or birds at the end of a reproductive cycle (P < 0.0001). A similar pattern was observed for both males and females. Additionally, the antibody was able to detect cGnRH-R-III in cells along the periphery of the cephalic and caudal lobes of the anterior pituitary where the cells containing the gonadotropins are located. In summary, we successfully validated a novel antibody to cGnRH-R-III and showed levels of cGnRH-R-III protein in the pituitary fluctuate with respect to the reproductive status in both male and female chickens. 相似文献

Hypothalamic gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) controls the activity of hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis and plays a key role in the reproductive performance of animals. In this study, five single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), namely g.991T > C, g.1041T > C g.3424T > C, g.3462C > A and g.3463Inde A, were detected in the GnRH gene of 162 water buffaloes by Sanger sequencing. Each SNP was associated with more than two sperm quality traits of ejaculate volume, sperm concentration, post-thaw sperm motility and sperm abnormality. g.3424T > C and g.3462C > A were related to these four traits and had a remarkable effect on ejaculate volume. The three other SNPs were related to sperm concentration, post-thaw sperm motility and sperm abnormality. Moreover, six haplotypes (H1: TCCAI, H2: CTTC-, H3: TCCCI, H4: CTTA-, H5: CCTA- and H6: CTCC-) composed of five SNPs comprising seven different combined genotypes were generated by linkage disequilibrium analysis. Statistics followed by one-way ANOVA indicated that water buffaloes with the haplotype combination H1H1 had the highest genotypic frequency, and those with the H4H4 haplotype combination had the highest ejaculate volume. The sperm concentration of those with haplotype combination H1H5 was higher than that of the other genotypes. In summary, our study showed a remarkable association between the SNPs of GnRH and sperm quality traits of Chinese water buffalo. 相似文献

The goal of this study was to compare the efficiency of histrelin acetate (GnRH analog) and human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG) to hasten ovulation in Brazilian Northeastern jennies (Equus africanus asinus). Thirty cycles of ten jennies were randomly assigned in one of the three groups: G0 (control group), saline; G1, 250 μg of histrelin acetate; G2, 2500 IU of hCG. Jennies were evaluated by transrectal palpation and ultrasonography, and had the administration of an ovulation-inducing agent when a follicle measuring between 29 and 32 mm of diameter was diagnosed. Jennies were monitored every 6 hours by transrectal ultrasonography until ovulation. The interval between prostaglandin administration and ovulation was lower (P < .05) in jennies from the G1 (145.2 ± 34.6 hours) and G2 (147.4 ± 27.3 hours) groups compared with the control cycle (220.0 ± 41.8 hours). Both treatments (G1, 41.15 ± 3.5 hours; G2, 37.8 ± 2.5 hours) also reduced (P < .05) the interval that jennies took to ovulate after the administration of the ovulation-inducing agent compared with the control (81.8 ± 28.8 hours). All jennies from G1 and G2 ovulated up to 48 hours after ovulation induction, whereas 100% of jennies in the control cycle ovulated later (>48 hours from the administration of saline). In conclusion, both histrelin acetate and hCG at the used dose are efficient ovulation-inducing agents in jennies promoting ovulation up to 48 hours after administration. 相似文献
