To find a new parameter indicating muscle fitness in Thoroughbred horses, we examined
time-dependent recovery of glycogen content and sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR)
Ca2+-ATPase activity of skeletal muscle after intensive treadmill running.
Two repeated 50-sec running sessions (13 m/sec) were performed on a flat treadmill
(approximately 90%VO2max). Muscle samples of the middle gluteal muscle were
taken before exercise (pre) and 1 min, 20 min, 60 min, and 24 hr after exercise. Muscle
fiber type composition was determined in the pre muscle samples by immunohistochemical
staining with monoclonal antibody to myosin heavy chain. SR Ca2+-ATPase
activity of the muscle and glycogen content of each muscle fiber type were determined with
biochemical analysis and quantitative histochemical staining, respectively. As compared to
the pre value, the glycogen content of each muscle fiber type was reduced by 15–27% at 1
min, 20 min, and 60 min after the exercise and recovered to the pre value at 24 hr after
exercise test. These results indicate that 24 hr is enough time to recover glycogen
content after short-term intensive exercise. The mean value of the SR
Ca2+-ATPase activity showed a slight decrease (not significant) immediately
after exercise, and complete recovery at 60 min after exercise. There were no significant
relationship between the changes in glycogen content of each muscle fiber type and SR
Ca2+-ATPase. Although further studies are needed, SR Ca2+-ATPase
is not a useful parameter to detect muscle fitness, at least in Thoroughbred horses. 相似文献

We evaluated differences in muscle fiber recruitment patterns between continuous and
interval training to develop an optimal training program for Thoroughbred horses. Five
well trained female thoroughbred horses (3–4 years old) were used. The horses performed
two different exercises on a 10% inclined treadmill: 90%VO2 max for 4 min
(continuous) and 90% VO2 max for 2 min × 2 times with 10-min interval
(interval). Muscle samples were obtained from the middle gluteal muscle before and
immediately after the exercises. Four muscle fiber types (type I, IIA, IIA/X, and IIX)
were immunohistochemically identified, and the optical density of periodic acid Schiff
staining (OD-PAS) in each fiber type and glycogen content of the muscle sample were
determined by quantitative histochemical and biochemical procedures, respectively. No
significant differences were found in the OD-PASs and glycogen contents between the
continuous and interval exercises, but the decreases in OD-PAS of fast-twitch muscle
fibers were obvious after interval as compared to continuous exercise. Interval exercise
may be a more effective training stimulus for the glycolytic capacity of fast-twitch
muscle fiber. The data about muscle fiber recruitment can provide significant insights
into the optimal training program not only for thoroughbred horses, but also for human
athletes. 相似文献

利用137Cs估算土壤侵蚀速率的定量模型 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A quantitative model was developed to relate the amount of ^137Cs loss from the soil profile to the rate of soil erosion,According th mass balance model,the depth distribution pattern of ^137Cs in the soil profile ,the radioactive decay of ^137Cs,sampling year and the difference of ^137Cs fallout amount among years were taken into consideration.By introducing typical depth distribution functions of ^137Cs into the model ,detailed equations for the model were got for different soil,The model shows that the rate of soil erosion is mainly controlled by the depth distrbution pattern of ^137Cs ,the year of sampling,and the percentage reduction in total ^137Cs,The relationship between the rate of soil loss and ^137Cs depletion i neither linear nor logarithmic,The depth distribution pattern of ^137Cs is a major factor for estimating the rate of soil loss,Soil erosion rate is directly related with the fraction of ^137Cs content near the soil surface. The influences of the radioactive decay of ^137Cs,sampling year and ^137Cs input fraction are not large compared with others. 相似文献

N Cycle, N Flow Trends in Japan, and Strategies for Reducing N2O Emission and NO3^- Pollution 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5
To feed an increasing population, large amounts of chemical nitrogen fertilizer have been used to produce much of our food, feed and fiber thereby increasing nitrogen levels in soils, natural waters, crop residues, livestock wastes,and municipal and agricultural wastes, with national and international concern about its potential adverse effects on environmental quality and public health. To understand these phenomena and problems, first the nitrogen cycle and the environment are described. Then recent trends for nitrogen cycling through the food and feed system, N2O emissions from fertilized upland and paddy soils, and NO3^- pollution in ground water in Japan are reported. Finally, mitigation strategies in Japan for reducing N2O emission and NO3^- pollution are proposed, including nitrification inhibitors, controlled release fertilizers, utilization of plant species that could suppress nitrification, utilizing the toposequence, government policy, and appropriate agricultural practices. Of all the technologies presented, use of nitrification inhibitors and controlled release fertilizers are deemed the most important with further development of these aspects of technologies being expected. These practices, if employed worldwide, could help reduce the load, or environmental deterioration, on the Earth‘s biosphere. 相似文献

The purposes of this study were to examine the relationship between male artificial insemination (AI)
fertility and sperm acrosomal conditions assessed by new and conventional staining techniques and to identify
possible reproductive dysfunctions causing low conception rates in AI using frozen-thawed spermatozoa with
poor acrosomal conditions in Japanese Black bulls. We investigated individual differences among bulls in the
results concerning (1) acrosomal conditions of frozen-thawed spermatozoa as assessed by not merely peanut
agglutinin-lectin staining (a conventional staining technique) but also immunostaining of acrosomal
tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins (a new staining technique), (2) routine AI using frozen-thawed spermatozoa as
assessed by pregnancy diagnosis, (3) in vivo fertilization of frozen-thawed spermatozoa and
early development of fertilized eggs as assessed by superovulation/AI-embryo collection tests and (4)
in vitro fertilization of frozen-thawed spermatozoa with oocytes. The percentages of
frozen-thawed spermatozoa with normal acrosomal conditions assessed by the abovementioned staining techniques
were significantly correlated with the conception rates of routine AI, rates of transferable embryos in
superovulation/AI-embryo collection tests and in vitro fertilization rates. These results are
consistent with new suggestions that the distribution of acrosomal tyrosine-phosphorylated proteins as well as
the acrosomal morphology of frozen-thawed spermatozoa are AI fertility-associated markers that are valid for
the prediction of AI results and that low conception rates in AI using frozen-thawed spermatozoa with poor
acrosomal conditions result from reproductive dysfunctions in the processes between sperm insemination into
females and early embryo development, probably failed fertilization of frozen-thawed spermatozoa with
oocytes. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: Effects of the chromosome set manipulation on early embryonic development were examined in goldfish and crucian carp. Both pressure- and heat-shock treatments of fertilized eggs induced developmental disorders such as thin blastodisc formation, delay of epiboly, and deficiency of dorso-anterior structures. The longer the treatments were applied to the eggs, the more frequently severe dorsal deficiencies were induced in the embryos. No and reduced signals of goosecoid mRNA, a dorsal mesodermal marker, were observed in embryos treated with heat-shock at 40°C for 1 min at 5 min postfertilization. These results suggested that such treatments should affect not only the retention of the second polar body, but also the suppression of dorso-ventral differentiation. 相似文献

ABSTRACT: The purpose of the present paper was to examine the genetic population structure of Buccinum tsubai in the Japan Sea. Mitochondrial 16SrRNA gene sequence analysis was performed with specimens from various stations in the Japan Sea. Mitochondrial lineages were clearly patterned geographically in four separate areas: the Hokkaido area, the Yamagata–Toyama area, the Yamato Bank area, and the San'in area. The main distribution depth range of B. tsubai is between 200 m and 1000 m isodepths, and the horizontal distance between the 200 m and 1000 m isodepth lines represents the specific spatial scale of the habitat (SSSH). These four areas were separated either by the complete discontinuity of the SSSH area or by its narrow spatial extension. Genetic distances between the main haplotypes of each area were calculated as Jukes–Cantor distances, the value of which ranged between 0.012 and 0.017. This value seemed to be unrelated to the geographic distance. There was no tendency for clustering according to depth. In future, the morphological characters of the four lineages of B. tsubai should be compared in detail in order to elucidate significant genetic differences among them. 相似文献
