We measured the plasma levels of amino acids at various reproductive stages in female
rats, including the estrous cycle, pregnancy and lactation, and compared the resulting
amino acid profiles using two- or three-dimensional figures. These figures revealed that
the amino acid profiles of pregnant and lactating dams differed considerably from those
during the estrous cycle or in male rats. The plasma levels of individual amino acids were
almost the same between proestrus, estrus, metestrus and diestrus, and their profiles did
not differ significantly. However, the amino acid profiles changed during pregnancy and
lactation in dams. The plasma Ser level decreased significantly in mid and late pregnancy,
whereas Tyr, Gly and His decreased significantly in the late and end stages of pregnancy,
and Trp and Lys significantly decreased and increased at the end of pregnancy,
respectively. Much larger changes in amino acid profiles were observed during lactation,
when the levels of many amino acids increased significantly, and none showed a significant
decrease. Plasma Pro, Ser and Gly levels increased continuously from day 1 until day 15 of
lactation, whereas Asn and Met increased significantly from days 1 and 5 respectively
until the end of lactation. These results suggest that the profiles of plasma amino acids
show characteristic changes according to reproductive stage and that it may be necessary
to consider such differences when performing amino acid-based diagnosis. 相似文献

We encountered a case of cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in a 17-year-old female koala at a zoo. A fragile, papillary, elevated mass was found on the third digit of the right hind limb. SCC was identified histopathologically: squamous cell-like polygonal tumor cells showed a nest-like growth pattern with epidermal down growth, central keratinization and necrotic foci, and invaded dermal connective tissues. Metastatic lesions were observed in various organs, including the lung and axillary lymph node: in the lung, multiple metastatic foci similar to the primary lesion, and in the axillary lymph node, individual polygonal tumor cells infiltrated the sinusoids. Immunohistochemistry revealed that the tumor cells were positive for proliferating cell nuclear antigen, which exhibited 32–33% of labeling indices in the tumor cells. To our knowledge, this is the first report of a case of SCC in a digit of a koala. 相似文献

It has been suspected that in comparison with glucose or fatty acids, the levels of amino
acids may readily change with different forms of exercise. In the present study, we
measured the concentrations of amino acids, glucose, triglycerides, total protein and
total cholesterol in the blood and/or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of rats subjected to
forced running exercise on a treadmill, and voluntary running exercise using a wheel, with
a constant running distance of 440 m. Rats that performed no running and rats subjected to
immobilization stress were used as controls. We observed a few significant changes in the
levels of plasma glucose, triglycerides, total protein and total cholesterol in all
groups. Whereas, plasma amino acid levels were significantly changed by exercise and
stress, especially during the light period. The plasma levels of many amino acids were
specifically increased by forced running; some were decreased by immobilization stress.
Few amino acids showed similar changes in their levels as a result of voluntary running.
In addition, there was a significant difference in the degree of amino acid imbalance
between blood and CSF. These results provide the first information on changes in levels of
amino acids in plasma and CSF resulting from forced and voluntary exercises. 相似文献

Puberty in mammals is timed by an increase in gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
secretion. Previous studies have shown involvement of the two neuropeptides,
kisspeptin and neurokinin B (NKB), in controlling puberty onset. Little is known
about the role of the other key neuropeptide, dynorphin, in controlling puberty
onset, although these three neuropeptides colocalize in the arcuate kisspeptin
neurons. The arcuate kisspeptin neuron, which is also referred to as the KNDy neuron,
has recently been considered to play a role as an intrinsic source of the GnRH pulse
generator. The present study aimed to determine if attenuation of inhibitory
dynorphin-kappa-opioid receptor (KOR) signaling triggers the initiation of puberty in
normal developing female rats. The present study also determined if stimulatory
NKB-neurokinin 3 receptor (NK3R) signaling advances puberty onset. Female
Wistar-Imamichi rats were weaned and intraperitoneally implanted with osmotic
minipumps filled with nor-binaltorphimine (nor-BNI), a KOR antagonist, or senktide, a
NK3R agonist, at 20 days of age. Fourteen days of intraperitoneal infusion of nor-BNI
or senktide advanced puberty onset, manifested as vaginal opening and the first
vaginal estrus in female rats. Frequent blood sampling showed that nor-BNI
significantly increased luteinizing hormone (LH) pulse frequency at 29 days of age
compared with vehicle-treated controls. Senktide tended to increase this frequency,
but its effect was not statistically significant. The present results suggest that
the inhibitory input of dynorphin-KOR signaling plays a role in the prepubertal
restraint of GnRH/LH secretion in normal developing female rats and that attenuation
of dynorphin-KOR signaling and increase in NKB-NK3R signaling trigger the onset of
puberty in female rats. 相似文献
