The glutamate agonist, N-methyl-D,L-aspartate (NMA) stimulates the secretion of growth hormone (GH) from pituitary fragments in vitro and increases plasma GH levels in vivo in rainbow trout, Oncorhynchus mykiss (Flett et al. 1994; Holloway and Leatherland 1997a,b); however gonadal steroid hormones appear to modulate this response in experimental situations. This study examines whether steroid hormones also modulate the GH-regulatory actions of NMA during the normal reproductive cycle of rainbow trout by examining the relationship between the stage of sexual maturation and the pituitary release of GH in vitro in response to an NMA (10-8 M) challenge. NMA had no effect on mean GH release from the pituitary glands of fish that were immature (GSI <1.0), from males during early development (GSI 1.0-3.0), or from sexually mature males (with free running milt) and females (ovulated). However, NMA significantly increased GH release from pituitary glands taken from females during the early stages of gonadal growth (GSI 1.0-9.0) and from males and females sampled during the later stages of gonadal growth (males GSI 3.01-6.0; females GSI 9.01-15.0). The GH-stimulatory action of NMA in males and females progressed to a maximum effect during the late stages of gonadal growth, and disappeared in ovulated females and free running males. Moreover, in female fish, the maximal GH release in response to the NMA challenge is positively correlated with plasma 17β-estradiol levels; no such correlation was evident for plasma testosterone levels in males. Changes in the GH response to NMA during maturation while gonadal steroid levels fluctuate provides further evidence to suggest that the effects of NMA on GH secretion are intimately linked to endogenous gonadal steroid hormone levels. This revised version was published online in July 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.  相似文献

In vivo and in vitro approaches have been used to examine the role of dopamine (DA) as a growth hormone (GH)-releasing factor in the goldfish. DA stimulated GH release from perifused pituitary fragments of goldfish in a dose-dependent manner. The GH-releasing effect of DA was seasonal, being the highest in sexually regressed fish, intermediate in recrudescent fish, and the lowest in sexually mature (prespawning) fish. The GH response to DA was blocked by the D1 antagonist (+)SCH23390, confirming the involvement of D1 receptors in DA-stimulated GH release. In studies using static incubation of pituitary cells, somatostatin, a known physiological GH-release inhibitor in the goldfish, abolished the GH response to DA. Intraperitoneal injection of apomorphine, a non-selective DA agonist, also increased the plasma GH levels and enhanced the linear body growth of goldfish. These results strongly suggest that DA, by acting through DA D1 receptors, functions as a GH-releasing factor in the goldfish.  相似文献

Seasonal changes in plasma levels of insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) in precociously maturing amago salmon (Oncorhynchus masou ishikawai), which matured as 1-year-olds, have been investigated. Profiles of plasma IGF-I levels were compared with changes in growth and maturity, and plasma growth hormone (GH) and thyroxine (T4) concentrations. The maturity of the fish was determined by calculating the gonadosomatic index; in November, 100% of males and 89% females matured. In both males and females, plasma IGF-I levels increased from March to August, and subsequently, plasma IGF-I levels in the early maturing males and females declined gradually and were maintained at lower levels during the spawning period in November. Plasma GH levels were high in April, and then declined gradually through September. Thereafter, in early maturing fish, a slight increase in plasma GH levels was observed in October and November. No significant changes in plasma T4 levels were found in the precociously maturing fish. In sharp contrast, plasma IGF-I levels in immature fish remained elevated through September, reaching a peak in October, and then gradually declined in November. In immature females, plasma T4 and GH levels were elevated in August, reached their maximum in September and then gradually declined until November.  相似文献

Plasma somatolactin (SL) concentrations were examined in chum salmon in relation to gonadal maturation; immature salmon in the Bering Sea at various stages of maturation, and mature salmon during upstream migration caught at the ocean, bay and river. Plasma SL concentrations as well as plasma prolactin (PRL) and growth hormone (GH) levels in the immature fish caught in the Bering Sea were maintained essentially at similar levels. Plasma SL in mature salmon increased significantly from the fish in the ocean to the fish in the river in both sexes. Although all the fish had fully developed gonads, females completed ovulation while still in the bay, whereas final spermeation in males was achieved after entry into the river. Thus, no clear correlation was seen between plasma SL levels and final gonadal maturation. On the other hand, plasma PRL concentrations in both male and female fish were higher in the fish in the river than those in the ocean and bay, and plasma GH levels were higher in both sexes in the fish in the bay and river than those in the ocean. Plasma levels of triglycerides, glucose, free fatty acids and ionized sodium and calcium were also examined. Significant-negative correlations were seen between plasma SL and plasma ionized calcium in mature male salmon, and between plasma SL and plasma triglycerides in mature female salmon. Although our findings do not rule out the possibility of the involvement of SL in final maturation, the results indicate that SL seems to be involved at least in energy and/or calcium metabolism during the spawning migration.  相似文献

大鳍鳠脑垂体和血清生长激素水平的季节变化   总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4  
根据大鳍脑垂体匀浆和血清样品的稀释曲线与鲤生长激素(cGH)标准曲线的平行性,采用鲤生长激素的标准品和抗血清(RAG)测定了周年中几个不同时期大鳍脑垂体和血清样品的生长激素(GH)含量,发现脑垂体和血清中的GH含量均表现出明显的季节变化。脑垂体的GH含量分别在3月份和8月份出现两个峰。4~7月的繁殖期和11~1月的越冬期间,脑垂体的GH含量很低,而且波动不大。受水温和光周期的影响,大鳍血清GH水平表现为从冬季(11~1月)到春季(2~4月)逐渐上升,夏季急剧升高,到夏末(7月底)达到最高,一直持续到秋季。大鳍血清GH含量的变化与生殖周期密切相关,最低的GH含量出现在性腺静止期,其次为性腺发育期,再次为性腺成熟期,在产卵期急剧升高,最高为性腺退化期。  相似文献

Instrumental quality parameters related to freshness were evaluated for gilthead sea bream (Sparus aurata) after different storage periods on ice (2, 4, 7 and 11 days of storage) for one, four and eight days of pre-slaughter starvation. The study was carried out on 360 gilthead sea bream from five different groups reared on a commercial fish farm. Starvation period had a significant effect on fish texture: the force necessary to compress 4 mm of flesh after two days ice storage in 1 day starved fish (16.50 ± 0.59 Newtons) was less than that for four day (18.98 ± 0.63 Newtons) and eight day starved fish (20.43 ± 1.12 Newtons). Significant differences in flesh puncture and flesh compression were not detected, although these values did increase with increasing starvation period. A significant increase in pH and myofibrilar protein solubility was also detected for fish starved for one day.  相似文献

This study tested the hypothesis that different starvation time for fish before blood sampling can influence the result of plasma biochemical analysis. Glucose (GLU), total cholesterol (CHOL), triglyceride (TGL) and total protein (TP) in the plasma of juvenile Amur sturgeon (Acipenser schrenckii) were measured after different starvation duration (0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 days). Starvation time had a significant influence on plasma GLU, CHOL, TGL and TP concentrations (P < 0.05). Plasma GLU and TP concentrations were unpredictably variable with duration of starvation. Plasma TGL and CHOL concentrations after 3 days starvation were significantly higher than that in fish starved for 0, 0.5, or 1 day, and no significant difference was found among fish starved for 0, 0.5, or 1 day. In order to get baseline value for these blood parameters, juvenile Amur sturgeon should be starved for 1 day.  相似文献

试验设3个饥饿处理组和1个对照组,研究花鲈在短期周期性饥饿下的补偿生长。试验结果表明,不同饥饿处理下的花鲈具有部分补偿生长能力,再投喂下的干物质摄食率(FR)显著高于对照组(P<0.0001),但饲料效率(FE)与对照组相比差异不显著(P<0.05),表明花鲈在短期周期性饥饿下的补偿生长通过提高摄食率实现。花鲈在补偿生长期间的生长效率大幅度提高,在投喂时间为对照组50%的条件下,周期性饥饿7 d(SR77)和周期性饥饿2 d(SR22)组平均特定生长率达到对照组的70.0%。  相似文献

The purpose of the study was to investigate whether dietary ration or diet composition influence the relationship between plasma growth hormone (GH) and insulin‐like growth factor‐1 (IGF‐1) in Arctic charr (Salvelinus alpinus L.). The pattern of changes in plasma GH and IGF‐1 concentrations was examined in fish fed at different ration levels (0%, 0.35% and 0.70% BW day−1) for 5 weeks, and in fish fed diets containing different lipid:crude protein (LCP) ratios. Ration level significantly affected plasma GH and IGF‐1 concentrations; at 5 weeks the levels of both hormones in the food‐deprived group were significantly lower than in fish fed the 0.70% BW day−1 ration. Also, plasma IGF‐1 levels in fish of each ration treatment group were significantly correlated with individual final body weight; no such correlation was found for GH. To examine the effects of dietary LCP ratios, fish were fed for up to 18 weeks, with one of four formulated diets that had LCP ratios (dry matter basis) of 0.35 (Diet 1), 0.43 (Diet 2), 0.51 (Diet 3) or 0.59 (Diet 4), or a commercial diet (Diet 5) which had an LCP ratio of 0.38. Statistical differences in plasma GH and IGF‐1 concentrations were found only after 18 weeks. Growth hormone was significantly lower in fish fed Diets 1 and 2 compared with Diets 3 and 5, and IGF‐1 was significantly lower in fish fed Diet 1 compared with Diets 2 and 5. Significant correlations between plasma GH and IGF‐1 concentrations were found only for fish fed Diets 1 and 5, suggesting that the influence of diet composition on the relationship between GH and IGF‐1 varies with the dietary LCP ratio in this species. The decline in plasma IGF‐1 concentrations during food deprivation is similar to that described in other species; however, the unexpected decrease in plasma GH during food deprivation in this study may represent a species‐specific response.  相似文献

The number of circulating erythrocytes was monitored in two strains of brown trout during the spawning season. Erythrocyte numbers were significantly elevated in mature male fish of both strains compared with mature females or immature fish. This period of erythrocytosis coincided with elevated plasma 11-ketotestosterone levels in mature male fish, was out of phase with the testosterone peak in males and was not observed in females despite high levels of plasma testosterone. The results are discussed with reference to the control of erythropoiesis in higher vertebrates.  相似文献

Sexually immature Arctic charr, Salvelinus alpinus (Linnaeus), were fed one of five isoenergetic practical diets of differing lipid:protein ratios (0.98, 0.67, 0.41, 0.26, 0.19) for an 84‐day period to examine the influence of diet composition on growth, and growth hormone (GH) and thyroid hormone physiology. All five diets supported growth at approximately the same rate, but the diet with a lipid:protein ratio of 0.98 had the lowest weight gain and highest food conversion ratios. A GH enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), developed for use with oncorhynchid fishes, was validated for use with Arctic charr. Plasma GH concentrations were significantly higher in fish fed the diet with a lipid:protein ratio of 0.98, and there were significant direct and inverse correlations between plasma GH levels and dietary lipid and protein content respectively. There were no significant differences in pre‐ and post‐prandial plasma GH concentrations for any group. There were significant post‐prandial elevations of plasma triiodothyronine (T3) and thyroxine (T4) for fish fed the lower lipid:protein ratio diets, but there were no differences related to the diets. The results are discussed in terms of GH as a factor in the regulation of lipid and protein homeostasis in fishes.  相似文献

Using rainbow trout plasma protein (IGF-BP) which specifically binds human insulin-like growth factor (IGF) (Niu and Le Bail 1993), we have developed an assay to measure plasma IGF-like levels in different teleost species. Before the assay and to prevent interference by IGF-BP, IGF-like was extracted from all samples, using SP Sephadex C-25 in acidic conditions. After this treatment, contamination of the IGF fraction by IGF-BP which was estimated by binding assay, was approximately 5%, and was not detectable by western ligand blot. Human IGF-I was used as standard and labelled hormone. Sensitivity of the assay was 0.15–0.40 ng/ml (ED90) and ED50 was 1–3 ng/ml. hIGF-II crossreaction was partial and no significant displacement was observed with Insulin from different species or with other hormones. Inhibition curves were obtained with plasma IGF fractions (but not with tissue extracts) from teleost and mammals and are parallel to the standard curve. These results suggest that the protein binding assay can quantify an IGF-like factor in the plasma of teleost and that the binding sites of IGF are well conserved during vertebrate evolution. Using this IGF binding assay, IGF-like was measured in parallel with growth hormone (GH) in plasma from young rainbow trout killed every 1.5h throughout one day. The daily profiles for both hormones, which appear pulsatile, are similar. A significant correlation was observed between GH levels and IGF-like levels with a 1.5h delay. Analogous observations were obtained in individual catheterized adult rainbow trout. Although plasma GH levels differ greatly between fish, less variability is found with IGF-like. In a third experiment, rainbow trout were starved or submitted to bovine GH treatment for four weeks. Starved fish, in which plasma GH levels increased, had plasma IGF-like level significantly lower than in fed fish. In bGH injected fish, plasma IGF-like level was significantly higher than in non-injected fish. These results suggest that, as in mammals, IGF-like secretion depends on plasma GH level and could be modulated by the nutritional status of fish.  相似文献

In salmonids, growth hormone (GH) effectively promotes adaptation of freshwater (FW) fish to seawater (SW), but it has been unclear whether GH has osmoregulatory actions apart from those consequent to an increase in body size. Our objectives were first, to examine the minimum time and dose required for GH to enhance SW adaptation; and second, to optimize the conditions for the acute GH response in developing a convenient GH bioassay based on its plasma ion lowering effect. Trout showed markedly improved SW survival when transferred from fresh water 6, 24, or 48h after a single chum salmon GH injection (0.25 μg/g). Preadapting trout to 1/3 SW enhanced the plasma ion lowering effect of ovine GH (oGH) injected 48h before transfer of the fish to 80% SW. Endogenous plasma GH levels were elevated in control trout switched from low salinities to 80% SW but were depressed in oGH-injected fish after transfer. Under optimal test conditions (1/3 SW preadaptation, 48h pre-transfer injection, and 100% SW final challenge), the reduction in plasma Na+, Ca++, and Mg++ levels of oGH-injected fish was dose-dependent. The oGH doses giving minimum and maximum responses were 50 and 200 ng/g, respectively. In short, GH exerts acute osmoregulatory actions that promote SW adaptation in the absence of changes in body size. Compared with growth GH bioassays, the osmoregulatory assay is superior in economy of time, animal costs, and hormone quantity required and potentially in specificity.  相似文献

European eels reaching the silver stage stop feeding in freshwater and during their spawning migration to the Sargasso sea (6000 km at least in the Ocean). The total duration of this exceptional fast is not well known. Few data are available on the general condition and the endocrine responses to starvation of migrating eels. In this study male (silver) and female (yellow and silver) eels were kept in freshwater without food for various lengths of time. Animals were killed after 7 months to 3 or 4 years. After a gradual decrease, the final body weight was reduced by 84% in males (52 months) and 67–69% in females (up to 4 years). The condition factor (K) followed a parallel curve. In the pituitary gland, GH cells were hypertrophied and highly stimulated. Their cross-sectional area was negatively correlated to K. Large GH cells remained well immunostained with an anti-eel GH serum after 7 to 12 months of starvation. In the leanest eels, the immunostaining was often reduced and many GH cells appeared degranulated, suggesting a low hormonal storage. In contrast, SL cells were reduced in size and number in the anterior half of the neurointermediate lobe (NIL), but showed a more heterogeneous picture in the caudal portion. GH and SL cell activities seemed to be negatively correlated in starved fish and controlled by different mechanisms. GH appears to play a major role in the long-term survival of fasted eels; SL does not seem to be involved.  相似文献

The physiological effects of short-term starvation on some haematological, biochemical and non-specific immune response parameters together with the histological structure of the skin, were investigated in the European eel, Anguilla anguilla. Blood haemoglobin and haematocrit, serum glucose and cortisol, hemolysins, haemagglutinins, and lysozyme in the plasma, kidney and epidermal extract, were measured in fish after 31, 42 and 58 days of starvation, and compared to those of fed fish. Starvation did not affect haemoglobin and haematocrit values, while an increase in glucose and cortisol levels was found in starved eels by day 42. Haemolytic and haemagglutinating activities decreased in starved eels. On the other hand, starvation caused an increase in the lysozyme content in the epidermal extracts, while no significant variations were observed in kidney and plasma. On the whole, no major changes in metabolic, haematological and non-specific immune parameters were observed when short-term (less than 2 months) starvation was applied to the European eel, suggesting an adaptive response to starvation, rather than a typical alarm–stress response, allowing this species to withstand food deprivation.  相似文献
