    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Bei 4 Monate alten Ratten mit Glutamat-induzierter Adipositas wurde die postprandiale Thermogenese über 8 h nach Fütterung von 300, 450 und 600 kJ/kg0,75 einer Pellet-Diät mittels indirekter Kalorimetrie in computergesteuerten Stoffwechselkäfigen mit offenem Kreislauf bestimmt. Bei den adipösen Tieren war die postprandiale Thermogenese nach Aufnahme von 600 kJ/kg0,75 (oberhalb des Energieerhaltungsbedarfs) signifikant auf 40% der Thermogenese der Kontrolltiere reduziert (12,0 gegenüber 31,5 kJ/kg0,75×8 h). Es wird geschlußfolgert, daß die Ratte mit Glutamat-induzierter Adipositas als ein Tiermodell mit beeinträchtigter fakultativer Thermogenese anzusehen ist, die hauptsächlich durch eine Verminderung der sympathischen adrenergen Aktivität verursacht ist.
    Notes: Summary Postprandial thermogenesis was estimated in 4-month-old male rats with glutamate induced obesity after being fed with 300, 450 and 600 kJ/kg0.75 of a pellet diet, respectively by indirect calorimetry in computer-controlled open circuit metabolic cages over 8 h. After an intake of 600 kJ/kg0.75 (above the maintenance energy requirement) postprandial thermogenesis was significantly reduced in the obese animals to about 40% of control rats (12.0 versus 31.5 kJ/kg0.75×8 h). It is concluded that the glutamate obese rat can be accepted as an animal model with impaired facultative thermogenesis, mainly caused by a reduction of sympathetic adrenergic activity.

    Notes: Abstract The left-invertibility and the general construction of reduced inverse systems are studied and described in a unified vector-space approach for both linear and nonlinear systems. The order of reduced inverse systems is calculated by means of intrinsic invariants, which reflect some properties related to observability. The uniqueness of the reduced inverse is described by a factor space.

    Notes: Summary Studies were carried out to determine whether monolithic depot formulations, prepared using lactide:glycolide copolymers, could be used to administer salmon calcitonin (sCT) to rats in vivo. Formulations containing 2, 5, or 10% (w/w) sCT were administered subcutaneously to female Wistar strain rats. Release of sCT was determined by measurement of peptide in plasma using a specific radioimmunoassay and by measurement of residual sCT in the depots after recovery at postmortem. Plasma calcium concentrations and cumulative weight gain of the animals were used to measure pharmacological effects of the released sCT. Release of sCT from the depots was controlled by the copolymer and was sustained for periods up to 10 days. However, the release of sCT from the depots did not significantly alter plasma calcium concentrations, and effects on cumulative weight gain were small and transient. Peptide loading of the formulations was shown to modify sCT release. Maximal release of sCT from depots containing 10% peptide occurred over a 7 to 14-day period postadministration, with 5% sCT release occurred between days 11 and 14, and with 2% sCT, the period of maximal release was between days 11 and 18. Release of peptide from the depots was essentially complete by 21 days postadministration irrespective of the peptide loading. These data suggest that lactide:glycolide copolymer depots may have application for the convenient clinical administration of sCT in metabolic bone diseases.

    Notes: Summary Nandrolone decanoate (ND) is an anabolic steroid with a positive effect on bone mass in osteoporotic patients. The mechanism of action, (i.e., reduction of bone resorption and/or Stimulation of bone formation), the ultimate effect on mechanical properties, and the most effective dosage are not yet clear. To address these issues, dose-related effects of the long-term effect of ND on Serum and bone biochemistry, bone mineral content, and bone mechanical properties in ovariectomized (OVX) rats (12 weeks old at the Start of the experiment) were Studied for 6 months. The results were compared with those obtained in agematched, intact, and OVX rats. OVX caused in the femur a significant increase in net periosteal bone formation and net endosteal bone resorption of bone collagen content and torsional strength, and of Serum alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin, and insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-I) levels, whereas cortical bone density and calcium/creatinine and phosphorus/creatinine in 24-hour urine were Significantly reduced. Treatment of OVX rats with 1 mg ND/14 days resulted in a Significant increase in periosteal bone formation, femur length, cortical and trabecular bone mineral content and density, torsion stiffness and Strength, and bone IGF-I content, and a decrease in Serum osteocalcin, urinary calcium/creatinine levels, and bone collagen content compared with OVX controls. The higher ND dosage of 2.5 mg/14 days did not improve the results. ND treatment did not reverse all changes induced by OVX to the level of the intact controls. These results indicate that ND acts as an antiresorptive drug and as a bone formation Stimulating drug. Furthermore, the increased bone mass and bone mineral density is associated with improved bone Strength and stiffness and the presence of an increased amount of IGF-I. IGF-I is a growth factor considered to play a role in the maintenance of normal skeletal balance by a paracrine or autocrine mechanism.

    Topics: Biology , Medicine , Physics
    Notes: Summary Hyperthyroidism, either endogenous or iatrogenic, leads to increased bone turnover and osteopenia. This study was conducted to examine (1) whether thyroid hormone excess in rats causes bone changes similar to those seen in patients with hyperthyroidism, and (2) the effects of the aminobisphosphonate alendronate on the thyroid hormone-induced bone changes. Sprague-Dawley male rats, divided into four groups, received L-thyroxine (T4) 250 μg/kg/day (+T4) or vehicle (-T4) subcutaneously six times per week and alendronate 1.75 mg/kg (+ALN) or vehicle (-ALN) orally twice a week. Rats were sacrificed after 3 weeks of treatment, blood samples were analyzed for serum T4, triiodo-L-thyronine (T3), and osteocalcin, and the proximal tibiae were processed for histomorphometric analysis. Serum T4 and T3 levels measured 20–24 hours after the last injection were 2 to 2.5-fold higher in +T4 groups than in-T4 groups. Serum osteocalcin was significantly (P 〈 0.05) higher in +T4/-ALN group than in the other groups, which were not statistically different from each other. T4 treatment (+T4/-ALN) significantly decreased the amount of cancellous bone volume (-45%) and increased osteoid surface (+254%), osteoblast surface (+111%), and osteoclast surface (+176%) relative to control values. Alendronate increased the bone volume above control values in both T4-treated (+ T4/ +ALN) and untreated (-T4/ +ALN) rats, and prevented the T4-induced increase in bone turnover in +T4/+ALN rats. It is concluded that (1) excess thyroid hormone induces cancellous bone loss associated with high bone turnover in the rat, and (2) this bone loss can be prevented by alendronate through the inhibition of osteoclastic activity.

    Notes: Abstract We developed a new experimental model of ascendingCandida pyelonephritis in female rats with leukopenia and vesicoureteral reflux. Rats were treated transperitoneally with cyclophosphamide (200 mg/kg) to induce leukopenia 3 days before and transurethrally with diluted acetic acid solution to induce vesicoureteral reflux 1 day before inoculation ofCandida albicans strain, ATCC 10259 (containing 107 cells). Microscopy revealed acute pyelonephritis in whichCandida cells invaded from the fornix and/or papilla into the medulla within 3 days after inoculation. Between 7 and 28 days after inoculation, chronic pyelonephritis reached the cortex. The incidence of pyelonephritis increased gradually and was approximately 80% after 7 days.Candida colony counts of bladder urine specimens obtained by direct puncture were significantly greater in rats with pyelonephritis extending into the parenchyma than in those with pyelonephritis located along the pelvis (p〈0.01). These results suggest that this rat model shows the characteristic feature of ascending pyelonephritis due toC. albicans and that the severity ofCandida pyelonephritis can be estimated fromCandida counts of bladder urine.

    Notes: Summary This communication reports on a single-copy gene of Saccharomyces cerevisiae which is homologous to the rat ribosomal protein gene L21. The yeast and the rat genes show 59% identity in DNA sequences and in the predicted protein sequences. This yeast gene is, therefore, assumed to code for an as yet unassigned ribosomal protein (URP1). The URP1 open reading frame is 480 nucleotides long and can encode a protein of about Mr 18 200. Like most of the other known ribosomal protein genes, URP1 is interrupted by an intron in its 5′ terminal part and it is preceeded by upstream sequence elements which usually regulate transcription of these genes. Northern blot analysis reveals that the URP1 gene is actually expressed in vivo.

    Notes: Abstract Cloned maize genes and random maize genomic fragments were used to construct a genetic map of sorghum and to compare the structure of the maize and sorghum genomes. Most (266/280) of the maize DNA fragments hybridized to sorghum DNA and 145 of them detected polymorphisms. The segregation of 111 markers was analyzed in 55 F2 progeny. A genetic map was generated with 96 loci arranged in 15 linkage groups spanning 709 map units. Comparative genetic mapping of sorghum and maize is complicated by the fact that many loci are duplicated, often making the identification of orthologous sequences ambiguous. Relative map positions of probes which detect only a single locus in both species indicated that multiple rearrangements have occurred since their divergence, but that many chromosomal segments have conserved synteny. Some sorghum linkage groups were found to be composed of sequences that detect loci on two different maize chromosomes. The two maize chromosomes to which these loci mapped were generally those which commonly share duplicated sequences. Evolutionary models and implications are discussed.

    Notes: Abstract Neurofilament immunoreactivity was examined in spinal cords of rats and cats with antibodies to all three subunits (68 kD, 155 kD and 200 kD) and to different phosphorylation states of 200 kD. NFHP-, an antibody against non-phosphorylated 200 kD, labelled all rat neuronal perikarya but failed to labet cat neurofilaments. In both species, the perikarya and processes of motoneurones were immunoreactive for all three subunits but most dorsal horn neuronal perikarya were not immunoreactive for 68 kD and 155 kD. Motoneuronal perikarya and proximal processes showed filamentous labelling for 68 kD but not for 155 kD in the rat, while in neither species did these show labelling with RT97, an antibody against a highly phosphorylated form of 200 kD; immunoreactivity for 200 kD was present in both filamentous (probably partially phosphorylated) and non-filamentous (non-phosphorylated) forms, but in dorsal horn neurones only the latter was present. Interpretations consistent with this data are: in rat and possibly also cat, motoneuronal neurofilaments consist of a 68 kD backbone with partially phosphorylated 200 kD sidearms, with both 155 kD and 200 kD (non-phosphorylated) subunits in a non-filamentous form; this neurofilament becomes more highly phosphorylated along the proximal processes. The dorsal horn neurones probably contain 200 kD in a non-filamentous form but may lack the other subunits.

    Notes: Abstract Immunohistochemical techniques were used to study the occurrence and distribution of insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and IGF-2 in the pancreas of man, dog, and rat and their possible coexistence with insulin (INS), glucagon (GLUC), somatostatin (SOM) and pancreatic polypeptide (PP). All control experiments, including pre-absorption of the antisera with synthetic peptide hormones, indicated the specificity of the immunoreactions obtained. In all species investigated, IGF-2-immunoreactivity occurred exclusively in INS-immunoreactive cells as was found by the use of consecutive sections and double immunofluorescence on identical sections. In contrast, IGF-1-immunoreactivity co-existed with GLUC-immunoreactivity. In man, singular SOM-immunoreactive cells also contained IGF-1-immunoreactivity. Thus, IGF-1 and IGF-2 can be localized by means of immunohistochemistry in the mammalian pancreas, and can be shown to occur in different islet cell populations. It is presumed that IGF-1 derived from A-cells and/or D-cells acts on the B-cells in a paracrine manner. The co-existence of IGF-2-immunoreactivity and INS-immunoreactivity in the human, rat, and dog endocrine pancreas indicates that mammalian IGF-2 and INS genes are regulated simultaneously.

    Notes: Abstract Using in vitro autoradiography, binding sites of 125I-ANP (atrial natriuretic peptide) were localized in the rat placenta, visceral yolk sac, and decidua at 16, 18, and 20 days of gestation. There was diffuse binding over the labyrinthine region of the placenta and an intense binding over the decidual gland and visceral yolk sac. In the yolk sac, ANP localized over the cores of the villi where it may be involved with the regulation of transport across the membranes or the flow of blood through the vitelline vessels. Of particular interest was binding over the maternal blood vessels supplying the decidual region and placenta. Receptors were located on the endothelial cells and smooth muscle cells of the arteries and veins, indicating that ANP may be involved with regional regulation of blood flow to the placenta.

    Notes: Abstract A cell surface-associated adhesive factor (AF) separated from differentiated rat ascites hepatoma AH136B cells (forming cell islands in vivo) has been highly purified by chromatography. AF is assumed to mediate the cell-cell adhesion essential to island formation of the hepatoma cells. A substance, immunologically crossreactive with AF, is present in the ascites fluid or culture medium of the AH136B cells. Because the substance is almost identical to AF in molecular weight and aggregation-promoting activity, it has been concluded that AF is released into the ascites fluid where it is concentrated. Monoclonal antibodies have been raised against AF purified from ascites fluid of AH136B cells. We have obtained a monoclonal antibody, coded MoAF-6D6, that strongly abolishes the aggregation-promoting activity of AF. When AH136B cell islands are incubated in the presence of Fab fragments of MoAF-6D6, cell detachment from the islands is evident within 24 h. Cell islands following 36-h culture show a distinct dissociation and islands completely lose their organization 48 h after culture. The dissociating effect of MoAF-6D6 is neutralized by the addition of AF. These results suggest that AF plays a significant role in the maintenance of cell islands.

    Notes: Abstract The Doppler radar device which is described here is shown to be a reliable and accurate device to quantify the liveliness of an experimental rat. During recording the animal did not seem to be disturbed in any way by the device. It could stay in its normal cage, move freely, walk around and eat and drink ad libitum. Measurement did not require extra light, sound or other stimuli. Interpretation of the data was easy. The computer which samples the Doppler radar output signal generates activity curves which were easily interpreted for different ranges of vitality, varying between high liveliness and apnoea or cardiac arrest. The apparatus is low priced, and simple to build and use.
