Nembutal [pentobarbital sodium] was found to increase the protein content in some regions of the rat brain (posterior cortex, caudate nucleus) and to decrease the protein content in the ventral cortex. Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity, expressed in terms of wet tissue weight, increased in the cerebellum and medulla, but decreased in the medial cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, and the caudate nucleus. These changes in AChE activity were not explicable in terms of a direct effect of the anesthetic on the enzyme. A decrease in the protein content was observed in the frontal cortex, ventral cortex, hippocampus, and the caudate nucleus after electric shock is applied. Following shock avoidance conditioning, a decrease in protein content was observed in the medial cortex, posterior cortex, cerebellum, and the ventral cortex; the protein content increased in the thalamus. An increase in AChE activity was observed in the frontal cortex and in the medulla after shock, but its content decreased in the caudate nucleus, hypothalamus, thalamus, and the olfactory bulb. Following shock avoidance conditioning AChE activity increased in the posterior cortex, hippocampus, thalamus, and hypothalamus, but decreased in the ventral cortex.Translated from Zhurnal Evclyutsionnoi Biokhimii i Fiziologii, Vol. 15, No. 3, pp. 254–262, May–June, 1979. 相似文献

The spastic rat is a neurological mutant of the Han-Wistar strain with prominent spasticity, tremor, and ataxia. Neurodegeneration is found in the CA3 sector of the hippocampus and in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. We examined the forebrain and cerebellum of spastic rats for glial reactions by using immunolabelling for the astrocytic marker, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). First, a map of the GFAP-distribution was made representing a systematic series of frontal sections in controls. Reactive astrocytes with increased GFAP should occur in the areas with established neuronal degeneration, but they could also demarcate further regions with pathology in this rat strain. Since the baseline levels of GFAP-immunoreactivity differ between brain regions, control rats and clinically normal littermates served as controls to judge relative increases in major structures. In the CA3 sector and hilus of the dorsal hippocampus, a massive gliosis was detected. In the cerebellum, a patchy increase of GFAP labelling in Bergmann glia was found. Further increases of GFAP-labelling in reactive astrocytes occurred in fiber tracts, the ventral thalamic nuclei, medial geniculate nuclei, pontine region and optic layer of the superior colliculus. Inconsistent changes were noted in cortex and pallidum. No defects of glial labelling or malformations in glial architectonics were found. The reactive changes of astroglial cells in hippocampus and cerebellum are in proportion to the neuronal degeneration. The glial reactions in the other brain regions possibly reflect a reaction to fiber degeneration and incipient neuronal degeneration or functional alterations of glial cells in response to neuronal dysfunction. 相似文献

To determine the effect of starvation on brain insulin receptors, rats were fed 4 g of chow/day for 14 days and then P2 fraction membranes were prepared from different brain regions. Compared to the fed state, there was an 18% reduction of insulin binding in olfactory bulbs from starved animals, but no change in the cerebellum, frontal cortex, amygdala, medial hypothalamus or lateral hypothalamus. A 15% reduction of olfactory bulb insulin binding was obtained by totally starving animals for four days. When membrane content was measured using the plasma membrane marker Na/K ATPase, insulin binding decreased by 26% and 14% in olfactory bulb membranes from starved and totally starved animals, respectively. The starvation-induced change in olfactory bulb binding was due to a loss of binding sites and not a decrease in binding affinity. Non-specific catabolism of protein and a change in the composition of membranes following starvation were excluded as causes for this effect. As streptozotocin induced diabetes had no effect on brain insulin binding, it was concluded that hypoinsulinaemia associated with starvation had not caused the reduction in olfactory bulb binding. Under similar conditions of starvation and diabetes, insulin binding in liver plasma membranes increased 26% and 38%, respectively. At 8 and 14 days of starvation, the reductions in olfactory bulb insulin binding and body weight were similar. On refeeding for three days, there was no increase in insulin binding, although body weight increased 7%. On refeeding for eight days, olfactory bulb insulin and body weight had returned to near normal.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

3,5-Dimethyl-3'-isopropyl-L-thyronine (DIMIT)-induced fetal hyperthyroid rats showed a marked accumulation of intracellular tubulin content in the cerebral cortex, hypothalamus, and cerebellum at 1 day old. When the fetuses were transplacentally radio-thyroidectomized with the administration of [131I]-Na, the brain weight was not changed at 1 day old. The DNA content was not affected by the radio-thyroidectomy (Tx), but intracellular RNA concentration (per DNA) was increased in the hypothalamus and cerebellum at that age. The DIMIT-supplement to Tx-fetuses failed to restore these abnormal values to normal. Delayed effects of the fetal Tx were observed in 11-day-old infants. These neonates showed decreased weight gain in the body, brain, cerebral cortex, and cerebellum. The DNA content (per wet tissue) was higher in the hypothalamus and cerebellum. The intracellular concentrations of RNA and tubulin (per DNA) were significantly decreased in the hypothalamus. These values were restored to normal by the administration of L-thyroxine(T4) to rats between 1 and 10 days old. These results demonstrate that fetal nervous tissues are sensitive to changes in thyroid functions. The different manner of response to the hormonal states among the brain areas may reflect that each nervous tissue has a specific critical period for thyroid hormones during development. 相似文献

Summary Changes in the glycogen content and patterns of deposition in the developing rat brain were studied using a light microscopic periodic acid-Schiff method on embryonic days (ED) 14, 16, 18, 20 and postnatal days (PD) 1, 3, 7, 12, 16 and 21. Regional and temporal differences were quantified with an automatic image analyser by estimation of stained material in subpial regions of cerebral cortex, thalamus, superior colliculus and medulla. The cellular localization of glycogen particles was investigated by electron microscopy on ED 18, ED 20 and PD 2. On ED 14 the first signs of glycogen storage were found in parts of the immature choroid plexus and in radial glial cells in the midbrain and medullary raphé. With advancing foetal age these structures retained their high capacity for glycogen storage but, in addition, an increasing number of radial fibres in most of the brain stem regions and in the cerebral cortex of older foetuses (ED 18–20) showed significant amounts of glycogen. The storage of glycogen in cerebral cortex was relatively low at all foetal age intervals studied. In new born animals the distribution of glycogen particles was similar to that found in the late foetal brain. A decrease of glycogen content commenced from PD 1 to 3 and reached the pattern of the adult brain between PD 7 and 21.Glycogen storage by radial glial cells in the developing rat brain might indicate their possible role as an energy source in perinatal carbohydrate metabolism. 相似文献

We measured choline acetyltransferase (ChAT) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activities in the rat to determine the time course of development, maturity, and senescence of ChAT activity. Tissue was obtained from Sprague-Dawley rats ranging in age from embryonic day 14 through 23 months. Seven regions were examined, including the magnocellular preoptic/substantia innominata region, frontal cortex, medial septal region, hippocampus, diagnoal band, and medial and lateral striatum. ChAT and AChE activities were first detected as early as E18 in the medial septum, diagonal band and magnocellular preoptic area, all regions of cholinergic cell bodies. Enzyme activity subsequently developed in terminal fields of these cholinergic perikarya (hippocampus and frontal cortex) as well as in the striatum. For all regions, enzyme activity rose during the first four postnatal weeks. This increase in enzyme activity was transient and, in most instances, decreases were observed between postnatal days 30 and 60. Most dramatic were the decreases in enzyme activity in the magnocellular preoptic/substantia innominata and diagonal band regions. Age-related declines also occurred in the frontal cortex, hippocampus, magnocellular preoptic/substantia innominata region, and the striatum. Cholinergic systems undergo dynamic changes especially during development and adulthood. 相似文献

The aim of the present work was to assess the expression of agouti-like protein and neuropeptide Y in pregnant and lactating
mice and to compare this with the leptin level and food consumption. Food consumption, blood leptin levels, and agouti-like
protein and neuropeptide Y mRNA levels in the hypothalamus of C57Bl/6J mice were assessed on days 7, 13, and 18 of pregnancy
and on days 10 and 21 of lactation, and in virgin females of the same ages. During pregnancy, food consumption and leptin
levels decreased on day 7 and increased in day 18 of pregnancy, while neuropeptide Y mRNA levels increased on day 13 and then
remained unaltered, and the agouti-like protein level increased on day 18. After parturition, food consumption continued to
increase, while leptin levels and neuropeptide Y mRNA levels decreased to normal. Thus, hyperphagia in pregnancy was due to
sequential activation of the expression of neuropeptide Y and agouti-like protein, while in lactation hyperphagia resulted
from mechanisms not associated with changes in the expression of these neuropeptides. 相似文献

Previously, we showed that changes in nuclear estrogen receptor (NER) concentrations within large dissections of the preoptic area and hypothalamus of pregnant rats might underlie changes in both maternal and sexual behaviors. To more precisely localize these biochemical changes, NER concentrations were measured in microdissected nuclei within the preoptic area and hypothalamus of pregnant rats on days 8, 16 and 22. Results indicated that NER levels changed significantly throughout pregnancy and that the magnitude and direction of change was site specific. Although a different pattern of change was found in each nucleus, NER levels in most preoptic area nuclei were significantly higher by the 16th day of pregnancy compared to those on day 8, while receptor levels in most hypothalamic nuclei did not increase until day 22 of pregnancy. The higher NER levels found in preoptic area nuclei of female rats as pregnancy advances can be correlated with growing maternal responsiveness during pregnancy, while elevated concentrations of NER in hypothalamic nuclei at the end of pregnancy may indicate preparation for postpartum estrus. 相似文献

Disruption of a restricted area of the pia-arachnoid compromises vascular irrigation of the underlying cortex, leading to infarction of the tissue. This study was undertaken to examine the effects of such brain injury on glial cells. Adult male Wistar rats were processed for glial fibrillary acidic protein immunoreactivity at 1, 4, 7, 15 and 30 days after undergoing cortical devascularization. One day post-lesion, glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive cells were observed only at the lesion site. Glial fibrillary acidic protein-positive cells were present in the ipsilateral remaining cortex, distant from the wound, between days 4 and 15, and were also evident in the thalamus beginning 4 days post-lesion. These diverse temporal patterns of GFAP immunoreactivity in different brain structures suggest that various mechanisms can mediate increased GFAP immunostaining following injury. 相似文献

Neuronal function in selected brain areas has been evaluated in Fischer 344 rats aged 2-4 months, 11-14 months and 21-26 months. In vitro release of 3H-norepinephrine from hypothalamus and occipital cortex and 3H-dopamine from striatum has been evaluated using potassium, amphetamine, and field-stimulation. In vitro uptake of 3H-catecholamines has been evaluated in the same tissues. Catecholamine levels were measured in six brain areas: hypothalamus, striatum, cortex, cerebellum, brainstem and midbrain. Significant age-related decreases of NE levels, uptake, and release to high frequency stimulation were seen in the hypothalamus. The decreases in 3H-NE uptake and NE levels in the hypothalamus were apparent at 12 months, whereas the decrease in 3H-NE release after high frequency stimulation was seen in the senile rats. 相似文献

Insulin-like growth factor I receptors and estrogen receptors colocalize in female rat brain 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Several findings indicate that there is a close interaction between estrogen and insulin-like growth factor I in different brain regions. In adult brain, both estrogen and insulin-like growth factor I have co-ordinated effects in the regulation of neuroendocrine events, synaptic plasticity and neural response to injury. In this study we have qualitatively assessed whether estrogen receptors and insulin-like growth factor I receptor are colocalized in the same cells in the preoptic area, hypothalamus, hippocampus, cerebral cortex and cerebellum of female rat brain using confocal microscopy. Immunoreactivity for estrogen receptors alpha and beta was colocalized with immunoreactivity for insulin-like growth factor I receptor in many neurons from the preoptic area, hypothalamus, hippocampus and cerebral cortex. Furthermore, estrogen receptor beta and insulin-like growth factor I receptor immunoreactivities were colocalized in the Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. Colocalization of estrogen receptor beta and insulin-like growth factor I receptor was also detected in cells with the morphology of astrocytes in all regions assessed. The co-expression of estrogen receptors and insulin-like growth factor I receptor in the same neurons may allow a cross-coupling of their signaling pathways. Furthermore, the colocalization of immunoreactivity for estrogen receptor beta and insulin-like growth factor I receptor in glial cells suggests that glia may also play a role in the interactions of insulin-like growth factor I and estrogen in the rat brain.In conclusion, the co-expression of estrogen receptors and insulin-like growth factor I receptors in the same neural cells suggests that the co-ordinated actions of estrogen and insulin-like growth factor I in the brain may be integrated at the cellular level. 相似文献

Activities of prolyl endopeptidase and dipeptidyl peptidase IV in the frontal cortex, hypothalamus, nucleus accumbens, striatum,
and hippocampus were measured in rats with the experimental anxious-depressive syndrome induced by treatment with a dipeptidyl
peptidase IV inhibitor during the early postnatal period (days 5-18). Prolyl endopeptidase activity was elevated in the frontal
cortex, hypothalamus, and nucleus accumbens. Increased activity of dipeptidyl peptidase IV was observed in the hypothalamus
and striatum. Norepinephrine/serotonin reuptake inhibitor, imipramine, and noncompetitive prolyl endopeptidase inhibitor,
benzyloxycarbonyl-methionyl-2(S)-cyanopyrrolidine, were shown to abolish depression-like behavior of animals in the forced
swimming test. These compounds had a normalizing effect on activities of prolyl endopeptidase and dipeptidyl peptidase IV
in brain structures of rats. 相似文献

Age-related changes in blood-brain barrier permeability were investigated during pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures in rats aged from 15 days to 120 days. Tracers such as [14C]sucrose and [3H]inulin which diffuse very slowly across the intact endothelium were simultaneously injected i.v. in rats treated with pentylenetetrazol (PTZ) or in control animals. Permeability-surface area products (PA) were determined in 9 brain regions. Pentylenetetrazol-induced seizures caused a significant increase in PA for both sucrose and inulin in all brain regions studied. Blood-brain barrier dysfunction was present only in animals in which the mean arterial blood pressure rose at seizure onset. Although increased blood-brain barrier permeability was found partly in similar areas in both young and adult rat brains, in adults the increase was the highest in the preoptic area, septum, colliculus inferior, hypothalamus and in the cerebellum while the increase was comparatively much smaller in the same areas of young brains. The increase in blood-brain barrier permeability was extremely high in the hippocampus, hypothalamus and cerebellum of 15-day-old rat brain and, was least affected in the corpus striatum and cerebral cortex in contrast to older rats. From the results obtained it may be concluded that the increased cerebrovascular permeability induced by pentylenetetrazol differs markedly in localization in young and adult rats. The age-dependent increased blood-brain barrier integrity is not over all dependent on variations in the blood pressure, but rather on progressive maturation of capillaries and changes in their internal structure, and local phenomena in neuronal activity during the seizures. 相似文献

Interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) therapy is strongly associated with certain adverse effects, but the pathophysiologic mechanism is unclear. The present study was designed to investigate the influence of peripherally administered IFN- alpha on amino acid levels in the brain. IFN-alpha was administered intraperitoneally (i.p.) once daily to rats, and their brains were extracted 24 h after the last injection. The levels of glutamate, glycine, taurine, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), and arginine in homogenized samples of the frontal cortex, striatum, hippocampus, amygdala, thalamus, hypothalamus, cerebellum, and brainstem were determined. One day of IFN-alpha treatment induced no significant changes in any of these amino acids. After 4 days of injections, glutamate, glycine, taurine, and gamma-aminobutyric acid levels were significantly higher than those in the control frontal cortex, striatum, hippocampus, amygdala, and thalamus. However, most of these amino acids returned to approximately basal levels, or even lower, with 14-day treatment. Our results suggest that daily peripheral administration of IFN-alpha affects the metabolism of amino acids in the brain. Further studies are necessary to determine if these effects of IFN-alpha on cerebral amino acids are involved in the pathophysiology of IFN-alpha-induced depression. 相似文献

The content of acid proteins in nuclei of neurons and glial satellite cells in the medial preoptic region and supraoptic nucleus of the rat hypothalamus was studied by two-wave cytospectrophotometry on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, and 15th days of adaptation of the animal to cold (temperature 2–4°C). Cooling led to an initial decrease in the content of nuclear proteins in the whole neuronal-neuroglial system of the medial preoptic region, followed by gradual restoration to normal by the 15th day of cooling. In the glial cells of this region, before the return to normal there was a temporary increase in the content of acid proteins above the control level. In the neuronal-neuroglial system of the supraoptic nucleus a gradual accumulation of acid proteins was followed by a return to the control level. By the 15th day of the rats' stay in the cold, the content of neuronal and glial acid proteins of this nucleus fell somewhat below the control level.Department of Biochemistry, Rostov-on-Don University.
