The aim of the present study is to investigate the effects of oral administration of taurine on endogenous glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and Glutathione Reductase (GR) activities and reduced glutathione (GSH) level in normal rats. Normal saline (Group I) or 5% taurine in normal saline was administered in dose of 50 mg (Group II), 250 mg (Group III) or 500 mg kg(-1) of body weight (Group IV) through intragastric intubation for 60 days. GPx and GR enzyme activities and GSH and taurine levels were determined in liver, heart, stomach, kidney and plasma of normal Wistar rats. GPx activity showed an increase in liver, heart, stomach and plasma. GR activity increased in kidney and decreased in liver and plasma. GSH levels increased in liver, stomach and decreased in kidney. Liver showed an increase and heart, stomach and kidney a decrease in taurine level in taurine administered rats when compared to control rats. The results varied from organ to organ and the observed variations among organs might be related to their respective enzymatic, non-enzymatic antioxidant potential and its functions. From the present study it may be concluded that long term oral administration of taurine affects GPx, GR and GSH levels in normal rats.  相似文献

Genetic diversity of 36 rice entries from the United States Department of Agriculture(USDA)rice collection was assessed using 103 ILP(intron length polymorphism)and 54 SSR(simple sequence repeats)markers.A total of 236 and 332 alleles were detected by the ILP and SSR markers,respectively.On average,the SSR markers produced higher polymorphism information content value and number of alleles than the ILP markers.Whereas the Nei's genetic distance measured using the SSR markers was much higher than that measured using the ILP markers.Mantel's test indicated that there was a statistically significant correlation(r=0.827,P0.001)between the two marker systems.UPGMA clustering based on the ILP and SSR markers resulted in consensus dendrograms.The cophenetic correlation coefficient(r=0.918,0.878 and 0.924,P0.001 for the ILP,SSR and combined markers,respectively)showed a highly accurate dendrogram represented the genetic distance among these entries.The 36 entries were divided into four groups.Four African Oryza glaberrima accessions were clustered within a distinct group(Ⅰ),and the remaining entries were separated into three groups(Ⅱ,Ⅲ and IV).All the entries could be also clustered into two main groups:One was composed of Ⅲ and IV,considered as indica group, and the other was composed of Ⅰ(O.glaberrima)and Ⅱ(japonica-like).Model-based cluster analysis revealed that the japonica-like group maintained very pure ancestry while the indica group shared mixed ancestry,especially for group Ⅲ, which had seven admixtures sharing from 19.5%to 30.0%of ancestry with group Ⅳ(based on SSR markers).It is suggested that ILP and SSR markers could be very useful for the genetic study and breeding in rice.  相似文献

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of essential oil extracted from aerial parts of Artemisia sieberi in normal and alloxan induced diabetic rats. Fifty rats were divided into five groups of 10 each. Group I normal rats received 1 mL day(-1) of dimethyl sulfoxide (control); group II normal rats received a single dose (80 mg kg(-1) b.wt.) of essential oil extract of Artemisia sieberi; group III diabetic rats received 1 mL day-of dimethyl sulfoxide; group IV diabetic rats received the oil extract (80 mg kg(-1) b.wt.); group V diabetic rats received metformin (14.2 mg kg(-1) b.wt.). All treatments were orally administered once a day for six weeks. Changes in blood glucose concentration, body weight and food and water intake were measured and the data obtained were compared with that of metformin. The essential oil extract significantly (p < 0.05) lowered blood glucose level as well as food and water intake in diabetic rats accompanied by an increase in body weight gain with no apparent side effect when compared with untreated diabetic rats. These effects were found to be closely similar to that of metformin, a common antidiabetic drug. On other hand, no apparent improvement on body weight gain in diabetic rats treated with metformin. In addition, for all parameters measured, the oil extract showed no effect in normal rats. In conclusion, the essential oil of Artemisia sieberi exhibited antidiabetic activity in alloxan-induced diabetic rats. Present findings support the possible use of the essential oil of Artemisia sieberi as a remedy for diabetes mellitus in humans.  相似文献

One hundred and twenty school girls in the age group of 13–15 years from four Government schools of Ludhiana city were selected for the study. On the basis of their family income they were divided into three experimental groups i.e. income group I (IgI), income group II (IgII) and income group III (IgIII). The results showed that the intake was low for all the foods. However, the consumption of fruits, milk and milk-products, sugar and jaggery, fats and oils by the subjects of IgII and IgIII was significantly higher (p<0.05) than IgI. The mean daily intake of energy, protein, iron, calcium, vitamin A & vitamin C was inadequate while the intake of fibre was adequate by the subjects as compared to ICMR recommendations. There was no significant difference in energy, protein and iron intakes among the subjects of three groups. However, the fibre intake by the subjects of IgI was significantly higher (p<0.05) than the subjects of IgIII, whereas the intake of calcium, vitamin A and ascorbic acid by the subjects of IgII & IgIII was significantly higher (p<0.05) than those of IgI. The average body weights and heights of the subjects were normal. The haemoglobin (Hb) level of the subjects ranged from 8.5–12.5 g/dl with a mean value of 10.73+0.07 and reported that only 23 percent of the subjects had acceptable level.  相似文献

Marine-derived substances are known for their beneficial influences on aquatic animals’ performances and are recommended to improve intestinal health, immunity, and anti-oxidative status. The present study investigates the role of chitosan nanoparticles on the intestinal histo-morphometrical features in association with the health and immune response of Grey Mullet (Liza ramada). Chitosan nanoparticles are included in the diets at 0, 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg and introduced to fish in a successive feeding trial for eight weeks. The final body weight (FBW), weight gain (WG), and specific growth rate (SGR) parameters are significantly increased while feed conversion ratio (FCR) decreases by chitosan nanoparticles compared to the control (p < 0.05). The morphometric analysis of the intestines reveals a significant improvement in villus height, villus width, and the number of goblet cells in chitosan-treated groups in a dose-dependent manner. Additionally, there is a positive correlation between the thickness of the enterocyte brush border and the chitosan dose, referring to an increasing absorptive activity. Histologically, the intestinal wall of Grey Mullet consists of four layers; mucosa, sub-mucosa, tunica muscularis (muscular layers), and serosa. The histological examination of the L. ramada intestine shows a normal histo-morphology. The epithelial layer of intestinal mucosa is thrown into elongated finger-like projections, the intestinal villi. The values of hemoglobin, hematocrit, red blood cells (RBCs), total protein (TP), albumin, and globulin are significantly increased in fish fed 1, and 2 g/kg of chitosan nanoparticles compared to fish fed 0 and 0.5 g/kg (p < 0.05). The highest levels of TP and albumin are observed in fish fed 1 g/kg diet (p < 0.05). The lysozyme activity and phagocytic index are significantly enhanced by feeding chitosan nanoparticles at 0.5, 1, and 2 g/kg, whereas the phagocytic activity is improved in fish fed 1 and 2 g/kg (p < 0.05). The highest lysozyme activity and phagocytic index are observed in fish fed 1 g/kg. SOD is significantly activated by feeding chitosan nanoparticles at 1 g/kg. Simultaneously, glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and catalase (CAT) activities also are enhanced by feeding chitosan at 1 and 2 g/kg, compared to fish fed 0 and 0.5 g/kg (p < 0.05). The highest GPx and CAT activities are observed in fish fed 1 g/kg (p < 0.05). Conversely, the malondialdehyde (MDA) levels are decreased by feeding chitosan at 1 and 2 g/kg, with the lowest being in fish fed 1 g/kg (p < 0.05). To summarize, the results elucidate that L. ramada fed dietary chitosan nanoparticles have a marked growth rate, immune response, and anti-oxidative response. These improvements are attributed to the potential role of chitosan nanoparticles in enhancing intestinal histo-morphometry and intestinal health. These results soundly support the possibility of using chitosan nanoparticles at 1–2 g/kg as a feasible functional supplement for aquatic animals.  相似文献

Hyperlipidemia is the cause of many complications in the human societies. In this study, the effect of methanol extracts of Quercus infectoria (QI) galls and Rosa damascena (RD) Mill flower were studied on lipid profile and atherosclerotic plaques formation in hyperlipidemic rabbits. Thirty-six New Zeland white rabbits randomly divided into 6 groups as control (I), hyperlipidemic (II), hyperlipidemic+QI (III), hyperlipidemic+RD (IV), +Atorvastolin (V) and hyperlipidemic+Orlistat (VI) and were fed with high fat diet (0.5% cholesterol and 16% hydrogenated vegetable oil) for 45 days. At the end of the study period, lipid profile and plaque formation were assessed. Total Cholesterol (TC), Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) and Triglyceride (TG) levels were significantly increased in hyperlipidemic group compared with control group (p < 0.001). Methanol extract consumption of Quercus infectoria significantly decreased plasma levels of TC, TG and LDL (p < 0.001). It also decreased plaques formation in semi lunar valve and thoracic aorta. Rosa damascena mill flower methanol extract moderately decreased the levels of TC, TG, LDL and plaques formation but it was not significant. HDL levels and weight of animals did not show significant difference among groups. Based on the doses used in this study, our finding indicated that QI but no RD methanol extract has anti atherogenic and hypolipidemic activities.  相似文献

An isolate of lead-ferritin obtained from soybean seeds sprouted in 25 mM of PbNO3 was introduced into the diet of both iron-deficient and iron non-deficient male rats. After a 21-day administration period, statistical differences in the lead accumulation in the femurs of the rats were noted. Iron-deficient rats accumulated more than four times the amount of lead in their bones than rats without iron-deficiency. No further decrease was observed in haemoglobin concentrations in the groups of animals fed with lead isolates, either iron-deficient or iron non-deficient. Also, no differences in the mean corpuscular haemoglobin (MCH) and mean corpuscular volume (MCV) were observed at the end of the experiment in the group of iron non-deficient rats fed with lead-ferritin isolate compared to the control group of iron non-deficient rats. In the iron-deficient group fed with lead-ferritin isolate, a small increase in haemoglobin concentrations, MCH, MCV and mean corpuscular haemoglobin concentrations (MCHC) was recorded. The results presented in this paper confirm that lead from the tested preparation—lead ferritin isolate—was better absorbed by those rats with induced iron deficiency anaemia. Additionally, we may also suspect based on the obtained results that absorption of ferritin-iron depends on iron status in the body.  相似文献

The changes in amounts per grain of six protein fractions isolated by selective extraction, which had been determined during the development of INRA 260 and opaque 2 maize grains, were again studied by taking as development variable the mount of total protein per grain (Np), defined as the difference between total and non protein nitrogen content. The accumulation of each protein fraction in grain is depicted with one straight line or aseries of linear segments whose slopes represent the relative rates of accumulation of each fraction with reference to that of total protein. According to changes in the slopes, four phases of accumulation can be distinguished for the INRA 260 variety. Phase I is characterized by the presence of basic proteins (salt-soluble proteins, G3 glutclins and residue) alone. During phase II, which begins with the synthesis of endosperm specific proteins (zeins, G1 and G2 glutelins), all protein fractions are accumulated. Phases III and IV are concerned with the changes in accumulation of fractions belonging to basic proteins. With opaque 2 variety, phases II, III and IV cannot be differentiated. For a given variety v and from the second phase, the amount Ni,v of basic proteins, zeins, G1 and G2 glutelins is related to Np by the equation Ni,v=ap,i,v+bp,i,vNp where ap,i,v and bp,i,v remain constant throughout development and are independent on cultural pratices. This equation also represents the phenotypic of fraction i as function of total protein of mature grain. Similar equations for expressing the intra- and intervarietal changes of protein fractions as function of total nitrogen content of ripe grain can be found.  相似文献

Enzymes from wheat bran and germinated wheat involved in the degradation of arabinoxylan and arabinoxylooligosaccharides were investigated. Fourp-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside hydrolysing activities (ArafI-IV) and threep-nitrophenyl-β-d-xylopyranoside hydrolysing activities (XylpI-III) were identified in wheat kernels and germinating wheat. Two of these activities, ArafI and XylpII, were purified about 10 000-fold from wheat bran. Both enzymes were inactive towards polymeric arabinoxylan. ArafI produced no arabinose but some xylose from arabinoxylooligosaccharides, while XylpII gave only xylose upon incubation with this substrate. An arabinoxylan arabinofuranohydrolase (AXH) was found in wheat bran and germinated wheat. This enzyme was active towards the polymeric substrate, but was unable to hydrolysep-nitrophenyl-α-l-arabinofuranoside. TheMrs of these enzymes were determined by size exclusion chromatography and were in the range of 40–50 000, except for ArafIII, for which aMrof 104 000 was determined. During germination, the levels of these enzymes increased markedly between the third and fifth day, after which some of them decreased again by the seventh day. ArafI-IV were inhibited strongly by arabinonic acid-γ-lactone, while xylonic acid-γ-lactone was a good inhibitor of XylpI-III. The latter lactone also inhibited ArafI. Neither of these lactones inhibited AXH. Endoxylanase activity was demonstrated but not quantified.  相似文献

We investigated teleconnections of rainfall time series in the central Nile Basin (Sudan and South Sudan) with localities in the global sea surface temperature (SST) field, using monthly rainfall data from 11 gauging stations from 1960 to 1999. Annual rainfall ranged from 100 mm in the north to more than 700 mm in the south, and all stations had a strong contrast between rainy and dry seasons with rainless dry periods of several months. Rainfall time series at the stations were categorized as strongly seasonal, with precipitation concentration index exceeding 16 and seasonality index exceeding 0.9. The rainfall stations were classified into four zones on the basis of annual rainfall, seasonality, and cross-correlations among the stations. We calculated cross-correlations of interannual rainfall time series in summer (July and August) with the global SST field. For short lag times (0 or 1 month), summer rainfall in Zones I and II (northern arid regions) had significant correlations with SST over the eastern Mediterranean Sea and southern Indian Ocean, summer rainfall in Zone III (semiarid region) had significant negative correlations with SST over the Indian Ocean, and summer rainfall in Zone IV (southern wet region) had significant correlations with SST over tropical areas and the southwestern Pacific Ocean. For long lag times (3–6 months), Nile Basin summer rainfall time series had significant correlations with SST in various regions of the Atlantic and Indian Oceans but not the Pacific Ocean. Rainfall in Zones I and II had positive correlations (significance level?<?0.01) with SST south of Greenland and around the Azores Islands and negative correlations with SST south of Madagascar; rainfall in Zone III had negative correlations with SST in parts of the Indian Ocean; and rainfall in Zone IV had significant positive correlations with SST southwest of South Africa and negative correlations with SST in the southwestern Indian Ocean. In sum, rainfall in three of the zones (I, II, and IV) had significant positive and negative correlations with SST in parts of the Indian and Atlantic Oceans. For each of these zones, one positive correlation and one negative correlation were selected and correlations with the time series of the difference between the two SST records were calculated. Correlations of Nile Basin rainfall with the SST differences were stronger than the original positive and negative correlations. The resulting time series of SST difference were applied to an artificial neural network to predict summer rainfall, yielding satisfactory correlation coefficients between the observed and predicted summer rainfall (r?>?0.70).  相似文献

Muricid molluscs are a natural source of brominated isatin with anticancer activity. The aim of this study was to examine the safety and efficacy of synthetic 6-bromoisatin for reducing the risk of early stage colorectal tumor formation. The purity of 6-bromoisatin was confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy, then tested for in vitro and in vivo anticancer activity. A mouse model for colorectal cancer was utilized whereby colonic apoptosis and cell proliferation was measured 6 h after azoxymethane treatment by hematoxylin and immunohistochemical staining. Liver enzymes and other biochemistry parameters were measured in plasma and haematological assessment of the blood was conducted to assess potential toxic side-effects. 6-Bromoisatin inhibited proliferation of HT29 cells at IC50 223 μM (0.05 mg/mL) and induced apoptosis without increasing caspase 3/7 activity. In vivo 6-bromoisatin (0.05 mg/g) was found to significantly enhance the apoptotic index (p ≤ 0.001) and reduced cell proliferation (p ≤ 0.01) in the distal colon. There were no significant effects on mouse body weight, liver enzymes, biochemical factors or blood cells. However, 6-bromoisatin caused a decrease in the plasma level of potassium, suggesting a diuretic effect. In conclusion this study supports 6-bromoisatin in Muricidae extracts as a promising lead for prevention of colorectal cancer.  相似文献

Agave salmiana Otto ex Salm-Dyck has traditionally been used for the production of fermented beverage known as “pulque” that has recently gained acceptance as a functional food. However, the plant requires up to 10 years to be used as raw material. The objective of this work was to evaluate the antioxidant and bioactive principles of Agave salmiana during different stages of development. Wild grown plants from Coahuila, Mexico, were identified based on leaf and spine traits to obtain a representative sample from six different stages of development (I-VI) from 1 to 7 years old. Total phenolic content (TPC), antioxidant activity (AOX), as well as composition and content of flavonols and saponins by HPLC-MS-TOF and HPLC-ELSD-PDA were evaluated. Concentrations of TPC were found to be between 5 to 13 mg gallic acid equivalents/g, reaching a maximum at stage II. The AOX presented a negative tendency from stage I to stage VI (from 148 to 50 μmol Trolox equivalents/g respectively). Kaempferol, quercetin and five saponins were identified. Similar to AOX, flavonols presented a negative concentration tendency with a reduction of 65% between the stage I and VI. Plants of stage III and IV presented the highest content of saponins, particularly chlorogenin glycoside, containing 3.19 and 2.90 mg protodioscin equivalents/g, respectively. These data suggest that plants from stages I to IV may be used as a source of antioxidant and bioactive principles, and that the content of these metabolites could be used as a marker to determine the developmental stage of the plant.  相似文献

Background: Endometriosis is a common chronic inflammation causing major problems including infertility. The role of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids as their potential anti-inflammatory effects in endometriosis needs to be further explored. The objective of this study was to compare serum phospholipid fatty acid profile in endometriosis patients with controls, and to explore the correlation of this profile with the severity of the disease. Methods: Sixty-four endometriosis patients and 74 control women, in reproductive age, participated in this study. Among the endometriosis patients, 19 cases were in stage I, 27 cases in stage II, 8 cases in stage III, and 10 cases in stage IV. Each patient underwent laparoscopy. Before surgery, 5 ml of blood was obtained. After extraction of the total lipids, serum total phospholipid fraction was isolated by thin layer chromatography. Fatty acid composition of the phospholipid fraction was determined by gas chromatography and the resulted profile was compared in endometriosis patients and controls. The profile was also compared in the endometriosis group based on the severity of disease. Results: Stearic acid was significantly lower in the endometriosis group as compared to controls (P= 0.030). No other fatty acid compositions were significantly different between patients and controls. Serum ratio of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) to arachidonic acid (AA) was in reasonable correlation with the severity of endometriosis (r = 0.34, P = 0.006). Conclusion: According to these findings, levels of fatty acids in serum total phospholipids seem not to be a marker for endometriosis, but the EPA to AA ratio was a relevant factor indicating severity of illness.Key Words: Endometriosis, Phospholipids, Omega-3 fatty acids  相似文献
