5-hydroxytryptamine in the carotid body of the cat

Glomus cells, at least in the carotid body of cats, contain catechol and indolamines. Cells containing adrenaline, noradrenaline, and 5-hydroxytryptamine were identified.     

Teratogenic effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine in mice

The subcutaneous injection of a single dose of 5-hydroxytryptamine into pregnant mice produced a large number of fetal abnormalities, mostly of the eyes, limbs, and tail; the skull and central nervous system were also sometimes affected. These effects could result from the action of the drug on placental function and blood supply.     

Depression of norepinephrine and 5-hydroxytryptamine in the brain by benzoquinolizine derivatives

The effects of two benzoquinolizine derivatives on the 5-hydroxytryptamine and norepinephrine content of the brain of mice, and some pharmacological actions, are described. Certain central effects (such as sedation and narcosis potentiation) of benzoquinolizine derivatives and possibly of Rauwolfia alkaloids may be due to changes of norepinephrine metabolism rather than to changes of 5-hydroxytryptamine metabolism in the brain.     

Effect of 5-hydroxytryptamine and iproniazid on pregnancy

The effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine and iproniazid on pregnancy in mice and rabbits were investigated. 5-Hydroxytryptamine can interrupt pregnancy at all stages in mice but is particularly effective early and late in pregnancy. Iproniazid exerts its action essentially in the first half of pregnancy. 5-Hydroxytryptamine produces striking hemorrhage in the placenta.     

Identification and assay of 5-hydroxytryptamine in molluscan tissues by fluorescence method

The fluorescence assay method has been used in the identification and quantitative estimation of 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in mollusks. Ganglia of a representative pelecypod contain more 5-HT than those of a gastropod. Most non-nerve tissues have low levels of 5-HT, which, except in "kidneys," may derive from nerve endings.     

5-hydroxytryptamine: a cytospecific growth stimulator of cultured fibroblasts

5-Hydroxytryptamine (serotonin) in micromolar amounts increased the growth of fibroblasts in culture while not affecting five other cell lines. Serotonin appeared to shorten the lag phase of cell growth. The effect was less when serotonin was added to the fibroblast culture after the initial 24-hour period. The two functional groups of the serotonin molecule were required for growth enhancement. Serotonin in millimolar concentrations was toxic to fibroblasts.     

5-羟色胺对断奶腹泻仔鼠小肠组织学结构的影响

为研究5-羟色胺(5-HT)增多是否通过影响肠黏膜屏障引起断奶仔鼠的腹泻,检测断奶腹泻仔鼠小肠绒毛高度(VH)、隐窝深度(CD)变化。采用21d刚断奶ICR仔鼠,分为6组,第1组为正常对照组,第2组为应激腹泻组,番泻叶(0.4kg/L)按体重15mL/kg灌胃同时后肢束缚应激处理,第3组为氢溴酸西肽普兰(CH)对照组,用CH进行腹腔注射处理,第4组CH+腹泻组,CH药物处理4h后进行应激腹泻处理;第5组对氯苯丙氨酸(PCPA)对照组,PCPA腹腔注射;第6组PCPA+应激腹泻组,PCPA药物处理4h后进行应激腹泻处理。连续处理5日后处死小鼠,取十二指肠、空肠、回肠,4%多聚甲醛固定、石蜡包埋,制作石蜡切片,HE染色,测量肠绒毛高度、隐窝深度。由HE染色结果发现,应激腹泻组、CH+应激腹泻组和PCPA+应激腹泻组与正常对照组相比,肠绒毛顶端出现充血,绒毛变短,裸露固有层等病理现象。与正常对照组相比,应激性腹泻组小鼠肠绒毛高度降低:十二指肠,空肠,回肠分别降低14.80%(P0.01),6.89%(P0.01)和19.31%(P0.01),隐窝深度分别升高14.09%(P0.01)、4.85%(P0.05)、11.53%(P0.01),故VH和CD的比值(V/C)降低:CH处理组与应激腹泻组小鼠变化趋势相同;而PCPA处理组则无明显变化。与应激腹泻小鼠相比,CH+应激腹泻组小鼠肠绒毛高度降低,尤其空肠显著降低11.18%(P0.01),隐窝深度升高,尤其十二指肠显著升高4.86%(P0.05),故V/C值也降低,而PCPA+应激腹泻组小鼠绒毛高度升高,分别为4.83%(P0.05),4.15%(P0.01),10.60%(P0.01),隐窝深度降低,分别为27.46%(P0.01)、19.21%(P0.01)、16.74%(P0.01),故V/C值升高。断奶腹泻仔鼠小肠黏膜机械屏障遭到破坏,而肠道内5-HT含量的升高也会使断奶仔鼠出现腹泻现象,同时小肠绒毛高度降低,隐窝深度增加。因此5-HT升高可能通过损伤断奶仔鼠小肠的绒毛高度和隐窝深度,从而引发腹泻。     

哺乳仔猪外周血5-羟色胺的合成与代谢研究

[目的]探讨哺乳仔猪外周血5-羟色胺的合成与代谢随日龄变化的规律。[方法]选用15只0、5和15日龄的英系大白猪为试验动物,采用反相高效液相色谱——紫外检测法对其外周血血清中L-Trp、5-HT和5-HIAA的含量进行测定。[结果]仔猪初生时L-Trp的含量为（16.92±1.74）μmol/L,5日龄时为（59.94±10.88）μmol/L,15日龄时为（70.42±6.48）μmol/L;仔猪初生时5-HT的含量为（12.85±1.79）μmol/L,5日龄时为（4.81±2.05）μmol/L,15日龄时为（5.49±1.09）μmol/L;代谢产物5-HIAA在各日龄仔猪血清中均未检出。[结论]随日龄增加,哺乳仔猪外周血L-Trp的含量显著增加（P〈0.05）,而5-HT的含量与L-Trp-5-HT通路转化率在初生时最高（P〈0.05）,此后趋于稳定（P〉0.05）。     

Micelle formation between 5-hydroxytryptamine and adenosine triphosphate in platelet storage organelles

As judged by analytical ultracentrifugation, 5-hydroxytryptamine and adenosine-5'-triphosphate form micelles in artificial mixtures and also in storage organelles containing 5-hydroxytryptamine of blood platelets of rabbits. Their average apparent molecular weights depend on the concentration and on the molar ratio of the two constituents. The 5-hydroxytryptamine and adenosine triphosphate of these 5-hydroxytryptamine organelles may be stored in vivo together as micelles with apparent molecular weights of several hundred thousands or more.     

红花籽粕中5-羟色胺衍生物的提取工艺

Morphine tolerance, physical dependence, and synthesis of brain 5-hydroxytryptamine

Tolerance and physical dependence development to morphine in mice can be prevented by concomitant administration of cycloheximide. The fact that the rate of synthesis of brain 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT) increases with tolerance to morphine suggests that the protein involved may be associated with 5HT synthesis. Inhibition of this synthesis with p-chlorophenylalanine markedly decreases tolerance and physical dependence development to morphine.     

Model structure for the inflammatory protein C5a

The complement cleavage product C5a is a potent stimulant of inflammatory processes; thus, inhibition of C5a activity is of therapeutic interest. The three-dimensional structure of the major portion of C5a was modeled from the homologous C3a crystal structure by comparative modeling techniques. The model shows that core residues of C5a are completely conserved, while external residues differ from C3a. Even though the amino-terminal 12 residues of C3a are disordered in the crystal, this sequence in C5a may form an amphipathic helix. The distribution of species sequence differences in the complete C5a structure suggests a possible receptor binding site.     

Insect salivary glands: stimulation of fluid secretion by 5-hydroxytryptamine and adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate

Low concentrations (10(-9)M) of 5-hydroxytryptamine increase the rate of fluid secretion by isolated salivary glands of adult Calliphora. 5-Hydroxytry ptamine is present in Calliphora brain. Adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) also stimulates fluid secretion and may be involved in the mode of action of 5-hydroxytryptamine.     

Lysergic acid diethylamide: role in conversion of plasma tryptophan to brain serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine)

Injections of D-lysergic acid diethylamide decrease the turnover rate of 5-hydroxytryptamine of rat brain, as measured from the conversion of (14)C-tryptophan into (14)C-5-hydroxytryptamine. The 2-bromolysergic acid diethylamide given in doses fivefold greater than those of lysergic acid diethylamide fails to change the rate of (14)C-tryptophan conversion into (14)C-5-hydroxytryptamine. The effect of D-lysergic acid diethylamide is discussed with regard to its action on brain serotonergic neurons and its psychotomimetic effects.     

葡萄酿制过程中5种杀菌剂的残留变化

采用高效液相色谱串联质谱法(HPLC-MS/MS)对葡萄家酿过程酒汁中5种杀菌剂(腈菌唑、噁唑菌酮、双炔酰菌胺、丙环唑、苯醚甲环唑)残留进行分析,考查添加酵母菌对其残留的影响。结果表明,葡萄酒汁中5种杀菌剂的回收率为75.4%~112.5%。初发酵过程中,5种杀菌剂有不同程度的降解,但腈菌唑和双炔酰菌胺在添加酵母菌发酵的酒汁中无显著降解,在二次发酵过程中,5种杀菌剂残留均呈现较稳定水平。在酿酒过程中添加酵母对5种杀菌剂的降解无显著影响。目标杀菌剂在葡萄酿造过程中的残留变化不仅与酿造工艺有关,还与杀菌剂的理化性质相关。

随着养殖智能化水平的提高和鱼类福利关注度的提升,对养殖条件下鱼类生理和行为的研究日益受到重视。5-羟色胺(5-hydroxy tryptamine, 5-HT)是一种广泛存在于大脑和外周组织中的抑制性神经递质,在相应受体的介导下,参与调控鱼类的攻击、摄食、认知、社会等级及情绪调节等多种行为和生理过程。本文综述了近年来国内外有关5-HT及其受体对鱼类的生理活动(摄食、免疫、生殖等)、攻击行为、社会等级、情绪调节、学习认知能力等方面的影响,分析了5-HT及其受体在基础研究和产业中的应用现状,并提出未来应深入开展5-HT的作用机制及其在不同环境下鱼类行为可塑性上的应用,以及5-HT不同受体的基本功能和对鱼类行为与生理响应调控等方面的研究建议,以期为提高基于鱼类行为的规模化智能养殖水平和鱼类福利等研究提供参考。

Role of Polo-like kinase CDC5 in programming meiosis I chromosome segregation

Meiosis is a specialized cell division in which two chromosome segregation phases follow a single DNA replication phase. The budding yeast Polo-like kinase Cdc5 was found to be instrumental in establishing the meiosis I chromosome segregation program. Cdc5 was required to phosphorylate and remove meiotic cohesin from chromosomes. Furthermore, in the absence of CDC5 kinetochores were bioriented during meiosis I, and Mam1, a protein essential for coorientation, failed to associate with kinetochores. Thus, sister-kinetochore coorientation and chromosome segregation during meiosis I are coupled through their dependence on CDC5.
