The present study was conducted to determine the difference in plasma prostaglandin F2α metabolite concentrations following oxytocin (OT) challenge between pregnant and non‐pregnant cows. Experiment 1: cows were subjected to the OT challenge test on days 12, 14 or 16 (day of estrus = day 0) with or without prior insemination and plasma 13,14‐dihydro‐15‐keto prostaglandin F2α (PGFM) concentrations were measured from ?30 to 180 min after OT injection. On day 16, the increment of plasma PGFM concentrations in response to OT injection was significantly smaller in pregnant than that in cyclic cows. On days 12 and 14, there was little OT‐induced PGFM secretion and no difference in PGFM increase between the pregnant and cyclic cows. Experiment 2: cows were inseminated on day 0 and subjected to the OT challenge test on day 16. Cows were classified into non‐pregnant/early embryonic death (NP/EED), late embryonic death (LED) and pregnant (PREG) groups. The increment of PGFM concentrations in response to OT injection was less in both PREG and LED groups than that in the NP/EED group. In conclusion, plasma PGFM secretion induced by OT is suggested as the base of pregnancy diagnosis prior to returning estrus in cows. 相似文献

We have analyzed the effects of low-dose transplacental and lactational exposure of 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) on gene expression relating to the dioxin and sexual hormone cascade, and demonstrated the effects on testicular growth and sexual maturation in male offspring rats. TCDD (10 ng/kg) was administered to dams on Days 7 and 14 of gestation, and on Days 0, 7 and 14 after delivery. Gene expression of cytochrome P450 family 1 subfamily A polypeptide 1 (CYP1A1) in the liver of 17-day-old rats was significantly increased compared with controls. Furthermore, expression of estrogen receptors (ER)alpha and ERbeta was significantly increased at 17 and 42 days old, respectively in the testis of TCDD-administered rats compared with controls. Although testicular weight and the seminiferous tubule diameter were increased in 17-day-old rats, there was no difference in the number of germ cells between TCDD-treated and control animals. The expressions of androgen receptor and inhibin subunit genes were not significantly changed. These findings suggest that low-dose exposure of TCDD leads to unusual development of the testis by perturbation of steroid hormone homeostasis. 相似文献

Avian amyloid A (AA) amyloidosis is commonly observed in adult birds with chronic
inflammation, such as that caused by bacterial infection. We previously described
vaccine-associated AA amyloidosis in juvenile chickens. In this study, the prevalence of
amyloid deposition was measured in mature healthy chickens that survived a previous
outbreak of avian AA amyloidosis while they were juveniles. Herein, we analyzed the
amyloid deposition in mature chickens and compared the prevalence of amyloid deposition
with juvenile chickens obtained in our previous study (Murakami et al.,
2013). We found that: 1) amyloid deposition in the liver was absent in mature chickens,
while juvenile chickens had a rate of 24%; 2) amyloid deposition in the spleen was
observed in 36% of juvenile chickens and in 40% of mature chickens; 3) amyloid deposition
in the pectoral muscle of mature chickens (43.75%) was approximately half that of juvenile
chickens (88%). These results suggest that additional amyloid deposition in chickens
previously exposed to AA amyloidosis may not worsen with age. Further, amyloid deposition
in chickens may tend to regress when causative factors, such as vaccinations and/or
chronic inflammation, are absent. 相似文献

The objectives of the present study were to develop a programmable piggyback syringe pump for bovine superovulation and to evaluate the effects of a four-times-a-day injection regimen using the pump. Non-lactating Holstein cows were treated with a total of 30 armour units of porcine FSH by injection four times a day with the pump (study, n = 9) or injection twice a day manually (control, n = 9) for four consecutive days from D10 of the estrous cycle. The pump-driven program successfully induced superovulation in all cows tested. The numbers of small (3– < 5 mm in diameter) and large (≥ 10 mm in diameter) follicles were greater in the study group on D11-13 and D14, respectively. There were fewer unovulated follicles detected on D21 (7 days after estrus) in the study group than in the control group (1.2 ± 0.4 and 3.2 ± 0.6, respectively). 相似文献

A 12-year-old neutered male Chihuahua was diagnosed with acute brain infarction in the right middle cerebral artery (MCA) territory. Transcranial Doppler ultrasonography (TCD) was performed to assess the local cerebral blood flow at the time of diagnosis and after 4 and 31 hr. Initially, the right MCA retained blood flow but with a lower cerebral blood flow velocity (CBFV; 14.9 cm/sec) than the left MCA (27.9 cm/sec). The TCD vascular resistance variables were higher in the right than in the left MCA. An increase in the CBFV and a decrease in TCD vascular resistance variables were observed, consistent with improvements in neurological symptoms. TCD can be a non-invasive, and easy-to-use modality for bedside monitoring of cerebral edema and infarction. 相似文献

Bovine lactoferrin (BLF) reportedly lowers blood pressure and induces vasorelaxation, but its effect on nitric oxide (NO) production has not been established. Accordingly, we aimed to determine whether BLF induces NO production in bovine aortic endothelial cells, and the effects of extracellular free magnesium (Mg) ion concentrations on this NO production. BLF induced NO production time-dependently. NO production was markedly inhibited by the NO synthase inhibitor, NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester, in an effect abolished by L-arginine, but not D-arginine. NO production was suppressed at low concentrations, and enhanced at high concentrations, of Mg ions in culture medium. These results suggest that BLF has an important role in hypotensive effects. Mg ions may affect BLF-induced NO production. 相似文献

A series of experiments on the preparation and regeneration of protoplasts from hyphal strands ofVolvariella volvacea (Bull. ex. Fr.) Singer were conducted with the aim of optimizing the conditions for its efficient regeneration. One commercial (Vvcl) and two wild (EAAC-0001 and EAAC-0002) strains ofV. volvacea from the Philippines were used and subjected to varying conditions to determine the most efficient means for regeneration of their protoplasts. The effects of age and type of strain, pH, type and concentration of osmotic stabilizer, enzymatic composition, treatment time, temperature, reciprocal frequency during enzymatic lysis of the cell wall, and centrifugation conditions were investigated. Results showed that the three strains ofV. volvacea had varying responses in terms of yield, size, and ability of their protoplasts to regenerate into the protoplast regeneration medium. Among the three strains, EAAC-0002 had the highest rate of regeneration. The 5-day-old culture ofV. volvacea, when subjected to a combination of 2% Novozyme 234 and 0.2% chitinase in 0.6M mannitol (pH 6.0) for 3 h at 30°C, 90 strokes/min and centrifuged at 1100 g for 10 min; produced an efficient yield of protoplasts with a relatively high regeneration rate.Part of this paper was presented at the 47th annual meeting of the Japan Wood Research Society, Kochi, Japan, April 2–5, 1997 相似文献

Two peroxidases, CWPO-A and CWPO-C, were isolated from the cell walls of poplar (Populus alba L.) callus culture. The cationic CWPO-C showed a strong preference for sinapyl alcohol over coniferyl alcohol as substrate. Thus, the monolignol utilization of CWPO-C is unique compared with other peroxidases, including anionic CWPO-A and horseradish peroxidase (HRP). CWPO-C polymerized oligomeric sinapyl alcohol (S-oligo) and sinapyl alcohol, producing a polymer of greater molecular weight. In contrast, HRP, which is specific to coniferyl alcohol, produced sinapyl alcohol dimers, rather than catalyzing polymerization. Adding coniferyl alcohol as a radical mediator in the HRP-mediated reaction did not result in S-oligo polymerization. This report shows that CWPO-C is an isoenzyme specific to sinapyl alcohol that polymerizes oligomeric lignols. Its catalytic activity toward oligomeric lignols may be related to the lignification of angiosperm woody plant cell walls.Part of this study was presented at the 45th Lignin Symposium, Matsuyama, October 2000 相似文献
