OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of 25% diet restriction on life span of dogs and on markers of aging. DESIGN: Paired feeding study. ANIMALS: 48 Labrador Retrievers. PROCEDURES: Dogs were paired, and 1 dog in each pair was fed 25% less food than its pair-mate from 8 weeks of age until death. Serum biochemical analyses were performed, body condition was scored, and body composition was measured annually until 12 years of age. Age at onset of chronic disease and median (age when 50% of the dogs were deceased) and maximum (age when 90% of the dogs were deceased) life spans were evaluated. RESULTS: Compared with control dogs, food-restricted dogs weighed less and had lower body fat content and lower serum triglycerides, triiodothyronine, insulin, and glucose concentrations. Median life span was significantly longer for dogs in which food was restricted. The onset of clinical signs of chronic disease generally was delayed for food-restricted dogs. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Results suggest that 25% restriction in food intake increased median life span and delayed the onset of signs of chronic disease in these dogs. 相似文献

Altered response to pneumococcal polysaccharide in offspring of immunologically paralyzed mice 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
The dose of pneumococcal polysaccharide type III required to induce immunologic paralysis in newborn offspring of immunologically paralyzed mice was one-tenth of the corresponding paralyzing dose for newborn offspring of normal mice. Similarly, immunization of the offsprinig of the paralyzed mice was accomplished with one-tenth the dose of polysaccharide necessary to immunize normal newborn mice. The altered susceptibility of newborn mice from paralyzed mothers to the induction of both paralysis and immunity was predicted from theories of antibody formation which postulate that the induction of tolerance or immunity is controlled by the concentration of natural antibodies specific for the antigen used. 相似文献

Aqueous solutions of lactose and lysine were refluxed for up to 4 h without pH control. Samples were collected every hour, and the reaction was monitored by measuring the pH, the optical density at 420 nm, and the relative antioxidative efficiency (RAE). The greatest change in optical density and antioxidative efficiency occurred for the mixture heated for 4 h. The 4 h solution was separated into three fractions according to the molecular weights of the components and tested for RAE. The high molecular weight fraction was more colored, and it had the highest antioxidative activity. The low molecular weight fraction was separated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). RAE values were measured for each purified compound. HPLC coupled with diode array and electrospray mass spectrometry allowed a rapid screening of the solutions and a tentative identification of several peaks. Nuclear magnetic resonance analysis allowed the identification of galactosylisomaltol and pyrraline. The resonance assignments for these compounds were revised. 相似文献

Caloric restriction (CR) has been shown to retard immunosenescence and to extend median and maximum life span in rodent species. Longitudinal effects of CR on the canine immune system are presented in this report. A group of 48 Labrador Retrievers, divided at weaning into weight- and sex-matched pairs, were maintained on a diet restriction protocol from age 8 weeks until death. Each restricted dog received 75% of the total food consumed by its control-fed pair mate. Immune parameters were monitored from 4 to 13 years. CR retarded age-related declines in both lymphoproliferative responses and absolute numbers of lymphocytes and the T, CD4, and CD8-cell subsets. In females, CR attenuated the age-related increase in T-cell percentages and marginally retarded the age-related increase in memory cell percentages. Age-related changes in B-cell percentages and numbers were augmented by CR. No direct effect of CR on phagocytic activity of PMN, antibody production or NK cell activity, was observed. Lower lymphoproliferative responses, lower numbers of lymphocytes, T, CD4 and CD8 cells, lower CD8 percentages and higher B-cell percentages were all found to be significantly associated with a decreased likelihood of survival in these dogs. 相似文献

Intestinal commensal bacteria induce protective and regulatory responses that maintain host-microbial mutualism. However, the contribution of tissue-resident commensals to immunity and inflammation at other barrier sites has not been addressed. We found that in mice, the skin microbiota have an autonomous role in controlling the local inflammatory milieu and tuning resident T lymphocyte function. Protective immunity to a cutaneous pathogen was found to be critically dependent on the skin microbiota but not the gut microbiota. Furthermore, skin commensals tuned the function of local T cells in a manner dependent on signaling downstream of the interleukin-1 receptor. These findings underscore the importance of the microbiota as a distinctive feature of tissue compartmentalization, and provide insight into mechanisms of immune system regulation by resident commensal niches in health and disease. 相似文献

Reported herein are hematocrit and total and differential WBCs obtained from 132 clinically healthy male and female white-footed mice (Peromyscus leucopus) of four different age groups: 4, 5-8, 9-20, and >32 wk old. Minimal differences were identified between the age groups. The number and percentage of neutrophils in the 4-wk-old mice were significantly higher than those in the other groups; the relative percentage of lymphocytes in the 4-wk-old mice was significantly lower than in the 9-20-wk-old mice. The only significant gender effects identified were higher numbers of WBCs and lymphocytes in females of the 4-wk-old group and higher hematocrits in males of the 5-8- and >32-wk-old groups. 相似文献

An antiglobulin hemagglutination test was developed for detection of antibody directed to Histoplasma capsulatum and Blastomyces dermatitidis. The substances responsible for spontaneous agglutination of erythrocytes were removed from histoplasmin and blastomycin by vacuum dialysis, and partial purification of the antigens by gel filtration chromatography on Sephadex G-150 allowed removal of additional nonantigenic material which competed with the antigens for binding on the erythrocyte surface. The test was sensitive enough to detect antibodies in sera which were negative by complement fixation, immunodiffusion, or both, but it failed to discriminate reliably between antibody directed to H capsulatum and antibody directed to B dermatitidis. Erythrocytes sensitized with partially purified blastomycin produced some false-positive reactions with normal canine sera; this was corrected by diluting the antigen before sensitization of the erythrocytes. 相似文献

Spatial expression of messenger ribonucleic acid (mRNA) for osteoblastic marker in drill hole defect healing of adult male rats was analyzed by in situ hybridization. The defect was filled with hematoma 3 days after surgery, expressing Type I collagen mRNA. Hematoma was replaced with fibrous tissue on day 7, and then with new trabecular bone on day 10, originated from the intra-medullary space, respectively. mRNA for Type I collagen, parathyroid hormone 1 receptor (PTHIR), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were expressed in the same cell population of fibrous tissue adjacent to newly-formed trabecular bone, and in osteoblasts lining the newly-formed trabecular bone. Hematopoietic marrow with osteoclasts subsequently invaded the region, also from the intra-medullary space, replacing all the new trabecular bone by day 21, except for a thin sub-periosteal layer. mRNA for Type I collagen, PTH1R and ALP was expressed on the periosteal surface of thin layer. Although cartilage formation was not histologically visible, mRNA for Type II collagen was weakly detected in the majority of osteoblasts lining the newly-formed trabecular bone. 相似文献

Starch enzymatic degradation caused by endogenous hydrolases is studied by in situ NMR spectroscopy on a set of hard and soft wheat flours. The results obtained by two different techniques (HR-MAS and (1)H NMR in solution) are analyzed in terms of a Michaelis-Menten kinetic phenomenological model taking into account the presence of endogenous enzymes and their eventual inactivation. The parameters resulting from the best fit of all experimental data to the kinetic model equations are submitted to a multivariate statistical analysis to assess the role of the oligosaccharides release in distinguishing between hard and soft wheats. 相似文献
