The chromosomal banding patterns of canine normal chromosome were analyzed by G-, Q-, C- and N-banding techniques. The chromosomes of canine normal lymphocytes consisted of 38 acrocentric autosome pairs and X-, Y-metacentric sex chromosomes. Their G- and Q-banding patterns corresponded to the those reported by Manolache et al. in 1976. C-bands of chromosomes were found on the centromeric regions of the 7th, 26th, 34th, 35th, 37th and 38th pairs of chromosomes. In addition, N-bands whose location had not been confirmed until now were recognized on the telomitic regions of the 7th, 9th and 22nd pairs of chromosomes. 相似文献
1. Fourteen‐week‐old intact and castrated cockerels (White Leghorn) were injected intramuscularly with zinc (100 μg/kg body weight) as zinc ammonium sulphate solution once daily for 4 weeks and the effects on testes, pituitary and adrenal glands investigated histologically.
2. In intact cocks zinc decreased testes weight significantly, inhibited spermatogenesis and disturbed testicular hormone production. There was an increase in pituitary gonadotrophic cell activity, perhaps an indication of feed‐back response to low concentration of testicular hormone. Cortical and medullary cells of the adrenal glands showed signs of activation.
3. No discernible effects of zinc injection on pituitary and adrenal cells of castrates were observed. This may reflect a decrease in pituitary and adrenal responsiveness to repeated stimulation with zinc.
4. The results indicate that the effectiveness of a given dose of zinc was dependent on the physiological condition of the cockerels and the effective site of zinc action was centred in the testes. 相似文献
This study evaluated the effects of short-term exposure to sublethal levels of nitrite on oxidative stress parameters and histology of juvenile Brazilian flounder Paralichthys orbignyanus. An assessment of fish recovery was also performed. Fish were exposed to 0.08 (control), 5.72, 10.43, and 15.27 NO2-N mg L?1 for 10 days followed by the same recovery time. Gill, liver, and muscle samples were collected after 1, 5, and 10 days of exposure and after recovery for the measurement of antioxidant capacity against peroxyl radicals (ACAP), glutathione-S-transferase (GST) activity, content of non-protein (NPSH) and protein thiols (PSH), and lipid peroxidation levels by thiobarbituric acid-reactive substances (TBARS) content. Nitrite exposure induced alterations which compromised the overall antioxidant system (reduced ACAP and GST activity) and enhanced oxidative damage in lipids and proteins. Increases in GST activity and NPSH and PSH contents were also demonstrated. The recovery period allowed for resumption of basal levels for all (treatment 5.72 NO2-N mg L?1) or some of the evaluated parameters (other treatments). In conclusion, exposure to nitrite concentrations from 5.72 to 15.27 NO2-N mg L?1 induced oxidative stress and antioxidant responses in juvenile Brazilian flounder. The 10-day recovery period was sufficient for a complete resumption of basal physiological condition of fish exposed to concentrations of up to 5.72 NO2-N mg L?1. 相似文献
