The somatotropic axis regulates growth of the gastrointestinal tract (GIT). In addition, colostrum feeding and glucocorticoids affect maturation of the GIT around birth in mammals. We have measured mRNA levels of members of the somatotropic axis to test the hypothesis that colostrum intake and dexamethasone treatment affect respective gene expression in the GIT. Calves were fed either colostrum or an isoenergetic milk-based formula, and in each feeding group, half of the calves were treated with dexamethasone (DEXA; 30 microg/kg body weight per day). Individual parameters of the somatotropic axis differed (P < 0.05) among different GIT sections and formula feeding increased (P < 0.05) mRNA levels of individual parameters at various sites of the GIT. Effects of DEXA on the somatotropic axis in the GIT partly depended on different feeding. In colostrum-fed calves, DEXA decreased (P < 0.05) mRNA levels of IGF-I (esophagus, fundus, duodenum, and ileum), IGF-II (fundus), IGFBP-2 (fundus), IGFBP-3 (fundus), IGF1R (esophagus, ileum, and colon), IGF2R (fundus), GHR (fundus), and InsR (esophagus, fundus), but in formula-fed calves DEXA increased mRNA levels of IGF-I (esophagus, rumen, jejunum, and colon). Furthermore, DEXA increased (P < 0.05) mRNA levels of IGF-II (pylorus), IGFBP-3 (duodenum), IGF2R (pylorus), and GHR (ileum), but decreased mRNA levels of IGFBP-2 (ileum), and IGF1R (fundus). Whereas formula feeding had stimulating effects, effects of DEXA treatment on the gene expression of parameters of the somatotropic axis varied among GIT sites and partly depended on feeding.  相似文献

The effects of fasting on insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-I, IGF-II, and IGF-binding protein (IGFBPs) mRNA in channel catfish were examined. Fed control fish (Fed) were compared to fish that had been fasted for 30 d followed by 15 d of additional feeding (Restricted). Sequence alignment and similarity to orthologous proteins in other vertebrates provided structural evidence that the 3 catfish sequences identified in the present research were IGFBP-1, -2, and -3. Prolonged fasting (30 d) reduced body weight approximately 60% (P < 0.001) and decreased IGF-I mRNA in the liver and muscle (P < 0.01). Fifteen days of re-feeding restored concentrations of hepatic and muscle IGF-I mRNA. Liver IGF-II mRNA was not affected by fasting but was increased 2.2-fold after 15 d of re-feeding (P < 0.05). Abundance of muscle IGF-II mRNA was similar between the fed control group and the restricted group throughout the experimental period. Fasting also increased liver IGFBP-1 mRNA (P < 0.05) and decreased IGFBP-3 mRNA (P < 0.01), whereas abundance of IGFBP-2 mRNA was not significantly affected. Interestingly, re-feeding for 15 d did not restore concentrations of IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 mRNA relative to fed control concentrations. The IGF results suggest that IGF-I and IGF-II are differently regulated by nutritional status and probably have a differential effect in promoting muscle growth during recovery from fasting. Similar to mammals, IGFBP-1 mRNA in catfish is increased during catabolism, whereas IGFBP-3 mRNA is decreased during inhibited somatic growth. The IGFBP results provide additional evidence of the conserved nature of the IGF-IGFBP-growth axis in catfish.  相似文献

Reproductive functions decline with the onset of diabetes in female mice. Diabetic mice have smaller uteri with an underdeveloped endometrium, suggesting diminished estrogen-induced growth. We aimed to clarify the changes in the estrous cycle and in insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) expression in the uteri of streptozotocin (STZ)-treated diabetic mice, because IGF1 is one of the main growth factors involved in estrogen-induced uterine growth. ICR female mice were intraperitoneally administered STZ (10 mg/100 g BW), and blood glucose levels were determined. Mice with blood glucose levels > 200 mg/dl were classified as diabetic mice. The onset of diabetes was associated with acyclic estrous cycles. Diabetes was also induced with STZ in ovariectomized mice. Uterine Igf1 mRNA levels were reduced in ovariectomized STZ-treated diabetic mice. Estrogen is known to stimulate Igf1 mRNA expression in the uterus, but estrogen action was abolished in the uteri of STZ-treated diabetic mice. mRNA expressions of estrogen receptor α (ERα) and steroid hormone receptor coactivators (SRC-1/Ncoa1, SRC-2/Ncoa2, SRC-3/Ncoa3 and CBP/p300/Crebbp) were reduced in the uteri of ovariectomized STZ-treated diabetic mice. The present study demonstrates that diabetes induces a decline in female reproductive functions in mice. Igf1 expression in ovariectomized diabetic female mice was decreased, and decreased responsiveness to estrogen in the uteri of diabetic mice is probably associated with a reduction in ERα and steroid receptor coactivator mRNA expression.  相似文献

A decrease in insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein (BP) amount occurs within the follicular fluid of dominant ovarian follicles. At the same time, concentrations of follicular fluid IGF-I do not change. The mRNA for IGF-I, IGF-II, IGFBP-2, and IGFBP-3 in dominant and subordinate follicles were measured to determine if changes in IGF or IGFBP gene expression are associated with follicular dominance. Heifers were ovariectomized during a follicular wave, either during early-dominance (emerging dominant follicle, 9 mm diameter) or mid-dominance (established dominant follicle, 14–16 mm diameter). Follicles were classified as either dominant (DF), subordinate (SF), or not-recruited (NRF; small antral follicles). mRNA was localized by in situ hybridization and measured by image analyses. The IGF-I mRNA (granulosa cells) was greatest in DF and increased in DF, SF, and NRF from early- to mid-dominance. Likewise, IGF-II mRNA (theca cells) was greatest in DF compared with SF or NRF. The IGFBP-2 mRNA (granulosa cells), however, was nearly undetectable in DF, whereas adjacent SF expressed abundant IGFBP-2 mRNA. The NRF were not uniform in their IGFBP-2 expression because only 5 of 13 NRF had IGFBP-2 mRNA. The IGFBP-3 mRNA (granulosa cells) was found only in two NRF, suggesting that local synthesis is not a predominant source of follicular fluid IGFBP-3. These data show that changes in gene expression for IGFBP-2 are opposite to those for IGF-I or IGF-II. Increased IGF-I and IGF-II mRNA and decreased IGFBP-2 mRNA within the DF may be one mechanism leading to follicular dominance. The opposite pattern of IGFBP-2 gene expression in SF and some NRF may lead to follicular atresia.  相似文献

The somatotropic axis and insulin are involved in pre- and postnatal development. In pre- and full-term calves (GrP0 and GrN0; born after 277 and 290 d of pregnancy, respectively) and in preterm calves on d 8 of life after being fed for 7 d (GrP8), we studied whether there are differences in the abundance of messenger RNA (mRNA) of IGF-I and IGF-II and of receptors for GH, IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin among different intestinal sites (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, and colon) and whether there are ontogenetic differences during the perinatal period in intestine and liver. Intestinal site differences (P < 0.05) existed in mRNA levels of IGF-I and IGF-II and receptors for GH, IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin. Abundance of mRNA of IGF-I and -II and of receptors for IGF-I and GH was highest (P < 0.05) in the colon, abundance of the receptor for IGF-II was comparably high in the colon and ileum, and that of the receptor for insulin was similarly high in colon, ileum, and jejunum. Among GrP0, GrN0, and GrP8 groups, there were differences (P < 0.05) in mRNA levels of IGF-I and IGF-II and of receptors for GH, IGF-I, IGF-II and insulin. Abundance of mRNA of IGF-I and IGF-II and of receptors for GH, IGF-I, IGF-II and insulin was highest (P < 0.05) in GrP0 calves immediately after birth and was primarily seen in the ileum. In liver, the mRNA levels differed (P < 0.05) among groups for IGF-II and receptors for IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin, and were highest (P < 0.05) for IGF-II in GrP0, for receptors of IGF-I in GrN0, and were higher (P < 0.05) in GrP0 than GrP8 for receptors of IGF-II. In conclusion, mRNA levels of IGF-I and IGF-II and of receptors for GH, IGF-I, IGF-II, and insulin were different at different intestinal sites and in intestine and liver and changed during the perinatal period.  相似文献

Components of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) system were investigated in chondrocytes isolated from the avian growth plate. The genes for IGF-I, IGF-II, type 1 IGF receptor (IGF-R), IGF binding protein-2 (IGFBP-2), IGFBP-3, IGFBP-5 and IGFBP-7 were found to be expressed in both proliferative and hypertrophic chondrocytes. The expression of IGF-II in proliferative chondrocytes was extremely high relative to IGF-I. Although IGF-I expression was significantly increased in hypertrophic chondrocytes, the level was still low relative to IGF-II. In cell culture, IGF-I stimulated proteoglycan synthesis and increased the expression of Indian hedgehog (Ihh) and type X collagen, markers of chondrocyte differentiation. IGF-II was found to be equally efficacious in stimulating proteoglycan biosynthesis. These observations suggest that IGF-II may play a significant role in avian growth plate physiology, which is consistent with several reports on mammalian endochondral bone growth.  相似文献

Research was conducted to examine growth rates, circulating concentrations of IGF-I, and mRNA abundance levels of IGF-I and IGF-II in channel catfish (Ictalurus punctatus) given recombinant bovine ST (rbST; Posilac, Monsanto Co., St. Louis MO). In the first study, juvenile catfish (5.5 +/- 0.5 g) were randomly assigned to one of three treatments: 1) sham-injected control (one needle puncture per week); 2) rbST (30 microg x g BW(-1) x wk(-1); Posilac); and 3) nonhandled control (control). At the end of the 6-wk study, the fish were weighed, measured for length, and G:F was determined. Compared with sham and control treatments, rbST-treated fish had 48% greater final BW, 14% greater total length, and 52% greater G:F (P < 0.001). In the second study, juvenile catfish (41.1 +/- 1.5 g) were assigned randomly to one of two treatments: 1) sham or 2) rbST. Eight fish per treatment were sampled on d 0, 1, 2, 7, 14, and 21 for blood, muscle, and liver. Relative expression of IGF-I and IGF-II mRNA was determined by real-time PCR and plasma concentrations of IGF-I were measured using a validated fluoroimmunoassay. Circulating concentrations of IGF-I were increased (37.9 +/- 5.5 vs. 22.0 +/- 6.6 ng/mL; P < 0.05) in rbST-injected fish compared with sham-injected controls by d 14. Liver IGF-I and IGF-II mRNA was increased 4.3-and 14.4-fold, respectively, by d 1 in rbST-injected fish compared with controls (P < 0.05); however, abundance of liver IGF-I and IGF-II mRNA did not differ from controls on d 0, 2, 7, 14, and 21. Abundance of muscle IGF-I and IGF-II mRNA did not differ in rbST-injected fish compared with controls throughout the study. Results of the first study demonstrated that rbST improves growth performance of channel catfish. Results of the second study showed that the growth-promoting effects of rbST were not mediated by the expression of IGF-I or IGF-II mRNA in the muscle. Instead, the results suggest that rbST promotes growth by stimulating plasma IGF-I release, possibly through its direct effect on the liver or on local tissues to synthesize IGF-I. The changes in mRNA abundance and plasma concentrations of IGF-I support the role of IGF-I in growth regulation of channel catfish.  相似文献

Exogenous somatotropin alters IGF axis in porcine endometrium and placenta   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
The aim of this study was to examine whether exogenous somatotropin (ST) can alter the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) axis in the porcine epitheliochorial placenta. Crossbred gilts were injected either 6 mg of recombinant porcine ST or vehicle from days 10 to 27 after artificial insemination (term day 116). Control and ST-treated gilts were euthanized on day 28 (8 control/5 treated), day 37 (4 control/6 treated), and day 62 (4 control/6 treated) of gestation. Endometrium and placental tissue samples were collected and subjected to mRNA analyses. In control gilts, somatotropin receptor (STR) and IGF-I mRNA abundance in the endometrium decreased with gestation. Conversely, the amounts of IGF-II mRNA and of IGF binding protein (BP)-2 and -3 mRNA, which were analyzed in endometrium and placental chorion, increased with gestation. The endometrium contained less IGF-II mRNA but more IGFBP-2 and-3 mRNA than the placental chorion. In response to pST treatment, the amounts of endometrial STR and IGF-I mRNA were lower at days 28 and 37, but higher at day 62 of gestation. The content of IGF-II mRNA was higher in the endometrium of pST-treated than control gilts on day 37. The amount of IGFBP-2 mRNA was increased on day 37 in endometrium and placenta of pST-treated gilts, whereas no changes in IGFBP-3 mRNA were observed. The IGF-II/IGFBP-2 ratio was higher in the placenta in response to pST on day 28 of gestation. Results show that pST treatment of pregnant gilts during early gestation alters IGF axis in maternal and fetal placental tissues and suggest pST may exert an effect on fetal growth by altering the relative amount of IGFBPs and IGFs at the fetal-maternal interface.  相似文献

Sorbic acid (SA) is a PUFA with a conjugated double bond. The conjugated fatty acids, including CLA, are multifunctional bioactive fatty acids with the ability to improve growth performance. The effect of SA on pig growth performance was examined to determine its mechanism of action. The ADG, ADFI, and serum IGF-I concentration were examined, as were IGF-I secretion and IGF system gene expression in hepatocytes. Two hundred forty 21-d-old Duroc × Landrace × Yorkshire weaned piglets (6.86 ± 0.02 kg) were randomly divided into 4 groups, each consisting of 3 pens of 20 piglets (10 female and 10 male). The 4 groups of piglets were kept in a temperature-controlled room (26 to 28 °C), and feed and water were provided to the pigs ad libitum. Weanling piglets were fed diets that included 0, 0.5, 2, or 4 g of SA/kg for 42 d. The diet supplemented with 0.5 g/kg of SA improved (P < 0.05) ADG, BW, and G:F, whereas supplementation with all 3 SA doses increased (P < 0.05) ADG and G:F at 21 to 42 d of age. The greatest concentration of plasma triglycerides was observed (P < 0.05) in the 4 g/kg of SA group. The SA increased (0.5 g of SA/kg, P > 0.05; 1 g of SA/kg, P < 0.05; and 2 g of SA/kg, P < 0.05, respectively) plasma total serum protein and globulin concentrations in a dose-dependent manner. It was noted that the smallest SA treatment dose (0.5 g/kg) dramatically increased (P < 0.05) serum IGF-I concentration but decreased (P < 0.05) the concentrations of blood urea N and cortisol. The SA increased (P < 0.05) IGF-I, IGF-II, IGF-I receptor (IGF-IR), and PPARα gene mRNA expression and IGF-I secretion, but not (P > 0.05) IGFBP or PPARγ mRNA expression, in pig primary hepatocytes. These results indicate that SA improves growth performance by regulating IGF system gene expression and hormone secretion.  相似文献

The growth factors, IGF-I and II, their binding proteins, IGFBP, and members of the transforming growth factor (TGF) superfamily (myostatin and TGFbeta1) are known to regulate proliferation and differentiation of myogenic cells. We hypothesized that changes in the relative expression of members of the IGF and TGFbeta systems play a significant role in regulating myogenesis in porcine embryonic myogenic cell (PEMC) cultures. Therefore, determining the expression patterns of these factors during PEMC myogenesis is important. Consequently, we used real-time PCR to explore the pattern of IGF-I; IGF-II; IGFBP-2, -3, and -5; IGF-type-I receptor; myogenin; myostatin; and TGFbeta1 mRNA expression during PEMC myogenesis. The progression of differentiation was assessed using creatine kinase activity and myogenin mRNA expression. As anticipated, creatine kinase activity was low in PEMC cultures at 48 h and increased 20-fold (P < 0.0001) between 48 h and its peak at 144 h. Similarly, myogenin mRNA was low at 48 h and increased approximately 5-fold (P < 0.0001) as differentiation progressed, peaking at 120 h and decreasing at 144 h. The patterns of IGF-I and IGFBP-2 mRNA expression were similar and were relatively lower in 48-h PEMC cultures, increasing approximately 5-fold (P < 0.0001) to their greatest levels at 120 h. In contrast, IGF-II and IGFBP-5 mRNA levels were relatively high at 48 h, peaking at 72 h, and steadily decreasing by 60 and 80%, respectively (P < 0.001), at 144 h. The level of IGF-type-I receptor mRNA was relatively high until 96 h of culture, after which it decreased 40% (P < 0.01), reaching a low at 144 h. Levels of IGFBP-3 mRNA were relatively high at 48 h, dropped approximately 40% to their lowest level at 72 h (P < 0.001), and then increased approximately 60% (P < 0.001) to their greatest levels at 144 h. Levels of TGFbeta1 mRNA decreased approximately 30% (P < 0.0001) between 48 and 96 h, then quickly rebounded to a peak at 120 h, and by 144 h had dropped to the levels seen at 72 h. Myostatin mRNA was at its greatest level at 48 h and declined rapidly between 72 and 96 h, finally decreasing by approximately 80% at 144 h (P < 0.0001). Our data demonstrate that these factors are differentially regulated during PEMC myogenesis and provide new information about their pattern of mRNA expression in cultured porcine muscle cells.  相似文献

Effects of L-carnitine on fetal growth and the IGF system in pigs   总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2  
The effects of L-carnitine on porcine fetal growth traits and the IGF system were determined. Fourth-parity sows were fed a gestation diet with either a 50-g top dress containing 0 (control, n = 6) or 100 mg of L-carnitine (n = 6). At midgestation, fetuses were removed for growth measurements, and porcine embryonic myoblasts (PEM) were isolated from semitendinosus. Real-time quantitative PCR was used to measure growth factor messenger RNA (mRNA) levels in the uterus, placenta, muscle, hepatic tissue, and cultured PEM. A treatment x day interaction (P = 0.02) was observed for maternal circulating total carnitine. Sows fed L-carnitine had a greater (P = 0.01) concentration of total carnitine at d 57 than control sows. Circulating IGF-I was not affected (P = 0.55) by treatment. Supplementing sows with L-carnitine resulted in larger (P = 0.02) litters (15.5 vs. 10.8 fetuses) without affecting litter weight (P = 0.07; 1,449.6 vs. 989.4 g) or individual fetal weight (P = 0.88) compared with controls. No treatment effect was found for muscle IGF-I (P = 0.36), IGF-II (P = 0.51), IGFBP-3 (P = 0.70), or IGFBP-5 (P = 0.51) mRNA abundance. The abundance of IGF-I (P = 0.72), IGF-II (P = 0.34), and IGFBP-3 (P = 0.99) in hepatic tissue was not influenced by treatment. Uterine IGF-I (P = 0.46), IGF-II (P = 0.40), IGFBP-3 (P = 0.29), and IGFBP-5 (P = 0.35) mRNA abundance did not differ between treatments. Placental IGF-I (P = 0.30), IGF-II (P = 0.18), IGFBP-3 (P = 0.94), and IGFBP-5 (P = 0.42) mRNA abundance did not differ between treatments. There was an effect of side of the uterus for IGF-I (P = 0.04) and IGF-II (P = 0.007) mRNA abundance; IGF-I mRNA abundance was greater in the left uterine horn than in the right uterine horn (0.14 and 0.07 relative units, respectively). Placental IGF-II mRNA abundance was greater (P = 0.007) in the left than in the right uterine horn (483.5 and 219.59, respectively). The abundance of IGFBP-3 was not affected by uterine horns in either uterine (P = 0.66) or placental (P = 0.13) tissue. There was no treatment difference for IGF-I (P = 0.31) or IGFBP-5 (P = 0.13) in PEM. The PEM isolated from sows fed L-carnitine had decreased IGF-II (P = 0.02), IGFBP-3 (P = 0.03), and myogenin (P = 0.04; 61, 59, and 67%, respectively) mRNA abundance compared with controls. These data suggest that L-carnitine supplemented to gestating sows altered the IGF system and may affect fetal growth and development.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To investigate changes in concentrations of insulin-like growth factors I (IGF-I) and II (IGF-II) and the expression of IGF-binding proteins (IGFBP) in synovial fluids from dogs with naturally occurring osteoarthritis (OA) of the canine stifle joint secondary to cranial cruciate ligament (CCL) rupture. STUDY DESIGN: Prospective study with synovial fluid sampling from diseased and contralateral unaffected joints at 0, 1.5, and 5 months. SAMPLE POPULATION: Eleven dogs with unilateral CCL deficiency, with unaffected contralateral joints. METHODS: IGF-I and IGF-II concentrations in synovial fluids were estimated by radioimmunoassay at 0, 1.5, and 5 months; Western ligand blotting was performed for intact IGFBPs at 0, 1.5, 5, and 9 months. Both stifle joints were radiographed at 0, 7, and 13 months. RESULTS: The IGF system is altered after CCL rupture and during development of early OA. Mean IGF-I and IGF-II concentrations in index stifle joints at study entry were 201.6 microg/mL and 345.7 microg/mL, respectively, compared with 57.7 microg/mL and 79.4 microg/mL, respectively, for contralateral joints. Index joint IGF concentrations increased after surgical treatment and then declined, although they remained higher than contralateral joints. Index joints had increases in IGFBP-3 and -4, and a decrease in IGFBP-2 expression compared with contralateral joints. CONCLUSIONS: Although IGF concentrations are increased in canine OA, alterations in IGFBP profiles may limit the tissue availability of IGF. CLINICAL RELEVANCE: Manipulation of the IGF system may provide an opportunity for novel treatments of OA in dogs.  相似文献

Rapid uterine involution in the postpartum period of dairy cows is important to achieve a short interval to conception. Expression patterns for members of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF) family were determined by in situ hybridisation at day 14 ± 0.4 postpartum (n = 12 cows) to investigate a potential role for IGFs in modulating uterine involution. Expression in each uterine tissue region was measured as optical density units and data were analysed according to region and horn. IGF-I mRNA was localized to the sub-epithelial stroma (SES) of inter-caruncular and caruncular endometrium. Both IGF-II and IGF-1R expression was detected in the deep endometrial stroma (DES), the caruncular stroma and myometrium. IGFBP-2, IGFBP-4 and IGFBP-6 mRNAs were all localised to the SES of inter-caruncular and caruncular uterine tissue, and in the DES and caruncular stroma, with IGFBP-4 mRNA additionally expressed in myometrium. IGFBP-3 mRNA was only detectable in luminal epithelium. IGFBP-5 mRNA was found in myometrium, inter-caruncular and caruncular SES and caruncular stroma. These data support a role for IGF-I and IGF-II in the extensive tissue remodelling and repair which the postpartum uterus undergoes to return to its non-pregnant state. The differential expression of binding proteins between tissues (IGFBP-3 in epithelium, IGFBP-2, -4, -5 and -6 in stroma and IGFBP-4 and -5 in myometrium) suggest tight control of IGF activity within each compartment. Differential expression of many members of the IGF family between the significantly larger previously gravid horn and the previously non-gravid horn may relate to differences in their rate of tissue remodelling.  相似文献

In this study, we investigated diabetic stage dependent cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) immunoreactivity in the dentate gyrus in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetic rats. The animals were sacrificed at 2, 3 and 4 weeks after STZ treatment. Blood glucose levels were increased after STZ treatment. COX-2 immunoreactivity in dentate gyrus was significantly increased in these regions 3 weeks after STZ treatment and restored to its basal level to 4 weeks after STZ treatment. In contrast, COX-2 immunoreactivity was not changed in CA3 region in all groups. These results suggest that STZ-induced type 1 diabetes transiently, but not permanently, decreased synaptic transmission and plasticity 3 weeks after STZ treatment in the dentate gyrus.  相似文献

Severe feed restriction decreases serum insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) concentration in animals, and this decrease is thought to be due to reduced IGF-I production in the liver. The objective of this study was to determine whether feed deprivation also increases degradation of serum IGF-I and serum levels of IGF binding protein 3 (IGFBP-3) and acid-labile subunit (ALS), which inhibit IGF-I degradation and increase IGF-I retention in the blood by forming a ternary complex with IGF-I, in cattle. Five steers had free access to pasture, and another five were deprived of feed for 60 h. Serum concentration of IGF-I and liver abundance of IGF-I mRNA at the end of the 60-h period were 50% and 80% lower, respectively, in feed-deprived steers than in fed steers. Less 125I-labeled IGF-I remained intact after a 45-h incubation in sera of feed-deprived steers than in sera of fed steers, suggesting that serum IGF-I is more quickly degraded in feed-deprived animals. Serum levels of IGFBP-3 and ALS were decreased by 40% and 30%, respectively, in feed-deprived steers compared with fed steers. These decreases were associated with more than 50% reductions in IGFBP-3 and ALS mRNA in the liver, the major source of serum IGFBP-3 and ALS. Taken together, these results suggest that feed deprivation reduces serum concentration of IGF-I in cattle not only by decreasing IGF-I gene expression in the liver, but also by increasing IGF-I degradation and reducing IGF-I retention in the blood through decreasing IGFBP-3 and ALS production in the liver.  相似文献
