    Abstract: This textbook explores the fundamental qualitative and quantitative aspects of veterinary physiology. It presents the morphological description of the organs, tissues, and cells involved in the physiological system with species variation. The book provide the most up-to-date information and in depth knowledge in animal physiology. The book addresses a broad range of topics, including the physiology of digestion in, monogastric animals, ruminants, and birds, and cardio vascular and respiratory system in different animals. The chapters contain a wealth of information on the areas related to the endocrine system, excretory system, body fluid homeostasis, hematology, male and female reproductive systems, coordination of body functions, and regulation of brain functions and sense organs. Further, this book acquaints students with advanced topics like immune system, assisted reproductive technology, ovarian dynamics, environmental physiology and thermoregulation, and behavioral physiology. This textbook contains clear illustrations including graphical abstracts and study questions for each chaptermaking this book a valuable learning resource for veterinary sciences and veterinary medicine students.Further to attract students and create interest in them, interesting facts related to animal physiology have also been highlighted in form of “Know more widges”.

    Notes: Abstract Failure of actinomycin D to block the activation of Dol-P-Man synthase in isoproterenol-treated capillary endothelial cells, supported that isoproterenol effect was not mediated by active transcription of the Dol-P-Man synthase gene during a short-term β-adrenoreceptor stimulation. Instead, it was a net effect of protein phosphorylation by cAMP-dependent protein kinase. Using antibody as a probe we have now demonstrated that Dol-P-Man synthase activity is associated with a 32 kDa ER phosphoprotein.

    Notes: Abstract The main solid waste product from coal-fired power stations is pulverised fuel ash (PFA), which can be enriched in toxic elements. Disposal of PFA by dry (in landfills) or wet (by slurrying) disposal methods can release these elements into the environment. Thereafter, the contaminants can be taken up by biota such as Eichhornia crassipes, a common aquatic plant, which has the ability to accumulate elements from water. This study investigates the uptake of Cd, Cu, Ni and Zn by E. crassipes grown in leachates and slurries prepared from two different PFA samples. PFA samples were obtained from Indraprastha Power Station (IPP Stn.) in New Delhi, India and the Ratcliffe-on-Soar Power Station in the UK. E. crassipes grown in PFA leachates and slurries at 1:5 and 1:50 solid:liquid (PFA:deionised water) ratios show that the plant has a very high accumulation capacity for Cd, Cu, Ni and Zn from both leachates and slurries and the uptake of these metals is stronger in the roots than in the tops of the plant. Metal accumulation, as shown by the accumulation factor (AF) values, is higher from both leachates and slurries for plants grown in the 1:50 (PFA:DIW) ratios than in the 1:5 ratios, initial metal concentrations being higher in the 1:5 ratios than in the 1:50 ratios. Lower metal accumulation in the plants grown in slurries than in leachates is related to the high turbidity of growth medium in slurries resulting in ash particles adhering to the root surfaces thus reducing the surface area of metal absorption. Eichhornia plants are able to reduce the pH of all leachates, especially the highly alkaline Ratcliffe leachates to near neutral conditions. Accumulation of Cd and Zn by the plant is higher from the lower pH IPP leachates than the Ratcliffe leachates, indicating that these metals are more soluble and bioavailable in the acidic medium. However, accumulation of Cu and Ni is independent of the pH of the leachates, indicating that other factors, such as metal species, presence of complexing agents in the growth solutions, and effects of competing metal ions may be contributory factors towards the metal uptake and accumulation by the plant.

    Notes: Abstract β-Adrenoreceptor has been studied in a clonal capillary endothelial cell line established from the vascular bed of the bovine adrenal medulla. [3H]Dihydroalprenolol ([3H]DHA) binding to the isolated plasma membranes from these cells has demonstrated the presence of β-adrenoreceptors with two different affinities. the dissociation constants (Kd) have been found to be 0.27±0.09×10−9 M and 2.96±0.31×10−9 M, respectively with the corresponding Bmax of 5.1±0.05 and 70.0±0.2 pmol/mg protein, respectively. Inhibition of [3H]DHA binding to the β-receptor by atenolol (a β1-antagonist) and ICI 118,551 (a β1-antagonist) has suggested that the IC50cor (=Ki) for atenolol and ICI 118,551 for high affinity site are 0.08±0.03×10−12 M and 0.25±0.08×10−12 M, respectively. This, therefore, indicates that both atenolol and ICI 118,551 are able to displace the bound ligand effectively but the β1-selective antagonist atenolol is 3 times more potent than its β2 counterpart, ICI 118,551. Displacement of [3H]DHA binding to the endothelial cell plasma membrane by the agonists isoproterenol, epinephrine and norephinephrine has established a relative order of Ki for these agents as isoproterenol (0.56±0.19×10−9 M)〈epinephrine (0.77±0.26−9 M)〉-norepinephrine (0.71±0.24×10−9 M) for the high affinity site. The corresponding values for the low affinity site, however, are 4.62±0.64×10−9 M, 6.21±0.86×10−9 M and 5.90±0.82×10−9 M, respectively for the same agonists. Increased intracellular cAMP accompanied with cellular proliferation in the presence of isoproterenol has suggested not only the coupling of β-adrenoreceptors to the adenylate cyclase system but also its involvement in endothelial cell proliferation.

    Notes: Abstract Abnormal angiogenesis underlies many pathological conditions and is critical for the growth and maintenance of various types of tumors, including hormone-dependent cancers. Since estrogens are potent carcinogens in humans and rodents, and are involved in regulating angiogenesis, this study was designed to examine the effect of estrogen on the behavior of an established bovine capillary endothelial cell line, a simple and physiologically relevant model of the capillary wall. The results demonstrate that 17β-estradiol (E2), at different conditions, exerts both stimulatory and inhibitory effects on endothelial cell adhesion, proliferation and tube formation in vitro. Utilizing a cellular attachment assay, chronic exposure to nanomolar concentrations of E2 (i.e. 1 and 10 nM) increased endothelial cell adhesion significantly compared to vehicle treated controls. Cellular adhesion was inhibited by micromolar concentrations of E2. Cell count, PCNA immunohistochemistry and Western blot analysis demonstrated enhanced cell proliferation at low E2 concentration in estrogen-deplete medium. Inhibition of cellular proliferation was observed in both estrogen-replete and deplete medium at higher E2 concentrations (i.e. 1 and 10 µM). Furthermore, in vitro tube formation increased up to 3.0 fold in the presence of 10 nM and higher E2 concentrations. The present observations indicate that in vitro regulation of capillary endothelial cell adhesion, proliferation and capillary tube formation by estrogen, are dose dependent.

    Notes: In vitro studies of angiogenic phenomenon have been limited due to nonavailability of a simple and biologically relevant model of the capillary wall. Recent development of a capillary endothelial cell line from the vascular bed of bovine adrenal medulla made us to study the effect of heparin, thrombin, thyroxine, glucagon, insulin, and phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) on the proliferative and metabolic activities such as glycosylation of asparagine-linked glycoproteins of these cells in culture. Out of six different agents studied here, only heparin, thrombin, and thyroxine reduced the doubling time of these cells by 24 hr with no observed morphological abnormality. Glucagon, showed marginal reduction in the cell doubling time. By contrast, insulin and PMA enhanced the doubling time. Insulin treatment though induced the S phase of cell cycle but it blocked the cells entry into the G2 + M phase. PMA arrested the cells in Go/G1 phase. The cellular response to protein N-glycosylation is increased in the presence of thyroxine, insulin, and thrombin and the effect is dose dependent. Further analysis on SDS-PAGE indicated that glycosylation of 80-120 kDa and 43 kDa glycoprotein species are enhanced when these cells are treated with insulin and thrombin. Glycopeptide generated from these glycoproteins suggested that they all carry “high mannose” and “complex” type oligosaccharide chains attached to their protein core.
