An experiment was conducted to determine if the decrease in circulating concentrations of prolactin in cattle consuming endophyte (Acremonium coenophialum) -infected tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea) was associated with changes in prolactin concentrations in the anterior pituitary and concentrations of dopamine (DA) and its metabolites 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-acetic acid (DOPAC) and homovanillic acid (HVA) in the stalk median eminence (SME), preoptic area (POA) and hypothalamus (HP). Six crossbred steers that grazed high-endophyte (greater than 90% infected) fescue and four steers that grazed low-endophyte (less than 1% infected) fescue from April to September were slaughtered. Brains and pituitaries were removed and dissected. Extracts from neural tissue were analyzed for DA, DOPAC and HVA using high performance liquid chromatography/electrochemical detection. Pituitary extracts and sera from blood samples taken 5 d prior to slaughter were subjected to prolactin radioimmunoassay. Consumption of high-endophyte fescue was associated with decreased concentrations of prolactin in serum (P less than .01) and in the anterior pituitary (P = .08), decreased (P less than .05) concentrations of DA in the SME and decreased (P less than .01) concentrations of HVA in the POA and HP, but it did not influence levels of DOPAC. These results suggest that endophyte toxins may reduce prolactin synthesis and release and may alter activity of dopaminergic neurons.  相似文献

The concentrations of dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), homovanillic acid (HVA), and 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA) in CSF obtained from the cisterna magna of 21 nonneurologically compromised dogs were determined by high-pressure liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection. A rapid method of sample preparation, which involved single filtration through a deproteinizing membrane, was used. Canine CSF obtained in this manner contained 5.78 +/- 0.78 ng of DOPAC/ml, 72.19 +/- 4.09 ng of HVA/ml, and 29.95 +/- 1.67 ng of 5-HIAA/ml. Linear regression analysis between HVA and 5-HIAA yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.4804. The neurotransmitter index, HVA/5-HIAA, was found to be more indicative of the dopaminergic metabolite HVA than the acid metabolite of serotonin, 5-HIAA (correlation coefficient with HVA = 0.5529 vs a correlation coefficient with 5-HIAA = -0.4462). A poor relationship (correlation coefficient = -0.1715) was found to exist between the 2 dopaminergic metabolites DOPAC and HVA in the CSF.  相似文献

1. To clarify the difference in behavioural activities and catecholamine metabolism between layer and broiler-type chicks two experiments were conducted. 2. In experiment 1, 1-d-old male layer and broiler chicks were placed in an open-field area and their responses were investigated for 10 min. The responses of the two strains were remarkably different, with broilers being less active than layers. Vocalisations rapidly decreased in broilers whereas those of layers remained elevated during the 10 min. 3. In experiment 2, 1-d-old chicks of both strains were killed and brain catecholamine concentrations were determined in three parts of the brain: telencephalon, optic lobe and brain stem. 4. In the whole brain, dopamine (DA) and dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) were significantly higher in broilers. However, the values for norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E) and 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylacetic acid (HVA) were similar between strains. The ratios of metabolite/precursor were also calculated: HVA/DOPAC was higher in layers, while NE/DA, E/NE and DOPAC/DA were not significantly different between strains. 5. These results suggest that behavioural activities differ greatly, while there are some differences in catecholamine metabolism between the two strains.  相似文献

Neonatal piglets in which oral stimulation associated with feeding was reduced by intragastric tube feeding displayed an increase in stereotyped snout rubbing, licking and chewing behaviour. An investigation of a possible neurochemical basis for this behaviour was made by using sensitive radioenzymatic and micro-fluorimetric assays to estimate the concentrations of the catecholamines and of the dopamine metabolites homovanillic acid (HVA) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenyl-acetic acid (DOPAC) in different brain regions. These observations revealed that the increased non-nutritive oral activity of such piglets did not appear to be caused by an increased release of dopamine in the brain, since it was not associated with increases in the concentrations of the acidic metabolites of dopamine in either the caudate nucleus, the putamen, the nucleus accumbens, the olfactory tubercle, the hypothalamus, or the substantia nigra. The only neurochemical changes observed were small decreases in the concentration of HVA in the putamen and the nucleus accumbens. A lack of effect on catecholamine concentrations in any of the six brain regions examined suggested that the environmental manipulation caused no changes in the development of catecholamine-containing nerve endings.
Subcutaneous injection of apomorphine was found to increase the non-nutritive oral activity of piglets. Apparent conditioning effects of the environment on apomorphine-induced stereotyped behaviour however, prevented any satisfactory testing of possible changes in cerebral dopamine receptor sensitivity following reduced oral stimulation.  相似文献

Twenty retinas from 10 cats were evaluted for dopamine (DA) and its metabolites dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), 3-methoxytyramine (3-MT) and homovanillic acid (HVA) by high pressure liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection. Dopamine was present in all 20 retinas at a mean concentration of 3.00±0.54 ng/mg protein. Dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 3-MT and HVA were detected in 16, 14 and 9 retinas respectively.In retinas in which these metabolites were detectable, they were present in the following mean concentrations: DOPAC, 1.07±0.21 ng/mg protein; 3-MT, 3.44±0.97 ng/mg protein and HVA, 4.54±1.05 ng/mg protein. Significantly higher concentrations of 3-MT (p=0.0108, paired t test) and HVA (p=0.0166, paired t test) than DOPAC were present in cat retina. Linear correlation analysis between DA and its metabolites indicated that the 3-MT and DOPAC concentrations correlated well with each other and with the amount of DA in cat retina. The concentrations of the end product metabolite, HVA, had poor correlations with the concentrations of 3-MT, DOPAC or DA. These data indicated that once DA is released in cat retina it can be metabolized to 3-MT, DOPAC and HVA.  相似文献

Forty-five Duroc (recognized as not susceptible to stress) and 34 Pietrain (susceptible to stress) pigs were subjected to immobilization stress in a prone position for 5, 15, 30 and 60 min. Plasma concentrations of epinephrine (E), norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA) and cortisol (C) were determined in response to restraint stress. The concentrations of E, NE and DA were different between the two strains of pigs (some significant interactions); the highest response was seen after 5 min of stress. The concentration of plasma C increased with duration of stress and there was a significant interaction between strain of animals and the time of stress. Our data substantiate the use of E, NE, DA and C as indicators of stress in swine as early as 5 min after exposure to the stressor. It is also shown that stress-susceptible Pietrain pigs had higher plasma concentrations of E, NE and DA than Duroc pigs.  相似文献

Metaldehyde, when administered orally to mice at a dose of 1 g kg-1, produced convulsions and death within 2 h. Brain concentrations of noradrenaline (NA) 5-hydroxytryptamie (5-HT) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were significantly reduced in these animals relative to controls. Treatment with either intraperitoneal clonidine or diazepam 20 min after administration of metaldehyde reduced the mortality rate and in mice surviving for 5 h, the decrease in brain NA and 5-HT concentrations were significantly reduced.  相似文献

Neurotransmitter metabolites (dihydroxyphenylacetic acid [DOPAC], homovanillic acid [HVA], and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid [5-HIAA]) in CSF of 10 healthy dogs were evaluated with reverse-phase high-pressure liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection. Neurotransmitter metabolite concentrations determined in CSF collected from the cisterna magna were compared with those values in CSF collected from the lumbar dorsal subarachnoid space. Amounts of DOPAC (P = 0.0444), HVA (P = 0.0001), and 5-HIAA (P = 0.0316) were significantly lower in lumbar spinal fluid compared with those values in the cervical spinal fluid. Metabolite concentrations in cervical and lumbar CSF were: DOPAC = 2.81 +/- 0.73 ng/ml of CSF and 1.28 +/- 0.57 ng/ml; HVA = 98.29 +/- 12.42 ng/ml and 4.68 +/- 1.61 ng/ml; and 5-HIAA = 46.29 +/- 8.17 ng/ml and 36.96 +/- 4.07 ng/ml, respectively. Cytologic evaluations of cervical and lumbar CSF revealed a similar concentration of 3 +/- 1 WBC/microliters in both fluids. A significant (P = 0.0002) difference in protein concentration between the 2 regions was observed, with 16.1 +/- 1.8 mg of protein/dl in the cervical CSF and 27.2 +/- 2.3 mg of protein/dl in the lumbar CSF. Between the cisterna magna and lumbar dorsal subarachnoid space of dogs, a rostrocaudal gradient existed for neurotransmitter metabolites, and a caudorostral gradient existed for protein.  相似文献

为研究5-羟色胺（5-HT）受体基因在不同猪种的表达及其与肉质的关系,试验选取淳安花猪与杜长大三元猪各12头,同时饲喂,达上市体重时分别屠宰,测定胴体、肉质性状及肌肉、脂肪中的5-HT受体基因表达量。结果表明：淳安花猪、杜长大三元猪的平均屠宰体重分别为88.1、102.4kg;淳安花猪的板油率、背膘厚、肌内脂肪等指标均显著高于杜长大三元猪（P〈0.05）;屠宰率、眼肌面积杜长大三元猪显著高于淳安花猪（P〈0.05）。5-HT2A、5-HT7受体基因在2个猪种脂肪组织中的表达量均显著高于肌肉组织（P〈0.05）,杜长大三元猪的肌肉中5-HT2A、5-HT7表达量显著低于淳安花猪（P〈0.05）,而脂肪中表达量两猪种间差异不显著。5-HT2A、5-HT7受体基因表达量与屠宰肉质指标之间基本呈负相关,尤其是肌肉中的5-HT2A表达量,呈较强负相关（杜长大三元猪）或显著负相关（淳安花猪）。研究初步认为,5-HT受体基因在中外猪种之间存在表达差异,并与屠宰肉质性状具有相关性。  相似文献

Small volumes (0.05 ml) of cisterna magna cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from 23 neurologically normal horses were analysed for the monoamine neurotransmitters dopamine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, serotonin and their metabolites using high pressure liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection. Two metabolites, homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were present in all CSF samples. The deaminated and methylated metabolite of dopamine, HVA, was present at a mean concentration of 42.33±3.14 ng/ml of CSF. The deaminated metabolite of serotonin, 5-HIAA, was present at a mean concentration of 45.52±3.65 ng/ml of CSF. A positive correlation was found between the CSF concentrations of HVA and 5-HIAA (r=0.72, p=0.0003). The mean ratio of HVA to 5-HIAA concentrations was 1.07±0.05. The ratios of HVA to 5-HIAA concentrations were found to be more indicative of the serotonergic metabolite 5-HIAA (r=–0.62, p=0.0016) than the dopaminergic metabolite HVA (r=0.11, p=0.60). There was a stronger relationship between the concentrations of 5-HIAA and the ratios of HVA to 5-HIAA in male CSF (r=–0.85, p=0.0006) than in female CSF (r=–0.54, p=0.01).Concentrations of CSF neurotransmitter metabolites were evaluated in horses grouped by age (0–4, 5–9 and 10–13 years). The youngest group of horses had a significantly (p=0.003) greater CSF concentration of HVA than of 5-HIAA. The 10–13-year-old horses had a significantly (p=0.02) lower mean CSF HVA concentration than the 0–4-year-old horses. No age-related differences in CSF 5-HIAA concentrations were detected.  相似文献

Two experiments were conducted to compare the effects of feeding a blend of grains naturally contaminated with Fusarium mycotoxins on brain regional neurochemistry of starter pigs and broiler chickens. A polymeric glucomannan mycotoxin adsorbent (GM polymer) was also tested for its efficacy in preventing Fusarium mycotoxicoses. In Exp. 1, a total of 150 starter pigs (initial weight = 9.3+/-1.1 kg) were fed five diets (six pens of five pigs per diet) for 21 d. Diets (as-fed basis) included control, 17% contaminated grains, 24.5% contaminated grains, 24.5% contaminated grains + 0.2% GM polymer, and a pair-fed control for comparison with pigs receiving 24.5% contaminated grains. In Exp. 2,360 1-d-old male broiler chicks were fed for 56 d one of four diets containing the same source of contaminated grains as was fed to pigs. The diets included control, 37% contaminated grains, 58% contaminated grains, and 58% contaminated grains + 0.2% GM polymer (as fed). Neurotransmitter concentrations in the cortex, hypothalamus, and pons were analyzed by HPLC. The following brain neurotransmitter alterations (P < or = 0.05) were observed. In pigs, inclusion of contaminated grains in the diet 1) linearly increased cortex 5-hydroxytryptamine (5HT, serotonin) concentrations, while linearly decreasing hypothalamic tryptophan concentrations; 2) quadratically increased hypothalamic and pons 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA):5HT ratios, whereas the ratio decreased linearly in the cortex; and 3) linearly increased the ratio of hypothalamic 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid:dopamine (DA) concentrations, whereas hypothalamic norepinephrine (NRE) and pons DA and homovanillic acid (HVA) concentrations linearly decreased. In broiler chickens, inclusion of contaminated grains in the diet 1) linearly increased concentrations of 5HT and 5HIAA in the pons and 5HT concentrations in the cortex; 2) linearly decreased 5HIAA:5HT ratio; and 3) linearly increased pons NRE, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol, DA, and HVA concentrations. Supplementation of GM polymer to the contaminated diet decreased (P < 0.05) 5HT and 5HIAA concentrations in the cortex of pigs. It was concluded that the differences in alterations of brain neurochemistry might explain the species differences in the severity of Fusarium mycotoxin-induced feed refusal.  相似文献

The serotonin metabolite, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and the dopamine metabolite, homovanillic acid (HVA) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of seven clinically normal horses were evaluated with reverse phase high pressure liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection. Comparisons of the neurotransmitter metabolite concentrations were made on CSF collected simultaneously from the atlanto-occipital and lumbosacral regions. There were significantly higher amounts of 5-HIAA and HVA in atlanto-occipital CSF than in lumbosacral CSF. Mean 5-HIAA concentrations in atlanto-occipital and lumbosacral CSF were 206.1±37.0 nmol/L and 68.5±12.6 nmol/L, respectively. The mean HVA concentration in atlanto-occipital CSF was 254.4±50.4 nmol/L. No HVA was detected in lumbosacral CSF. In contrast, significantly greater protein concentrations were present in lumbosacral CSF than in atlanto-occipital CSF. Lumbosacral and atlanto-occipital CSF contained 32.1±3.7 mg protein/dl and 25.0±1.3 mg protein/dl, respectively. Thus, between the atlanto-occipital and lumbosacral space of the horses, a rostrocaudal gradient existed for neurotransmitter metabolites and a caudorostral gradient existed for protein.  相似文献

Six hours post-hatch, large white turkey poults were inoculated intranasally with 5 X 10(7) organisms of the "W" isolate of Bordetella avium. Three hours after inoculation and subsequently on days 7, 10, 14, 21, and 28 postinoculation, 30 infected and 30 uninfected control poults were injected intramuscularly with alpha methylparatyrosine (AMPT, 250 mg/kg), and an additional 30 of each group received a saline vehicle. Three hours after AMPT injection, whole brains from treated and untreated poults from both infected and control groups were removed, weighed, and frozen until assayed for norepinephrine (NE), dopamine (DA), and serotonin (5-HT). B. avium-infected poults had a significant reduction in steady-state NE and Da and a greater depletion of NE and DA after AMPT treatment compared with control poults. Infected poults had significantly reduced whole brain 5-HT concentrations, which persisted through 21 days postinoculation. Altered brain NE, DA, and 5-HT concentrations suggest that the B. avium-infected poults may be less able to cope with additional stressors.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to analyze the effects of drug detection training on behavior and blood neurotransmitter levels in drug detection dogs so as to investigate some variables influencing dog reactivity and responsiveness to training. In all, 20 dogs were sampled out of the Guardia di Finanza canine population. All the subjects were born, reared, housed, and trained in the same facility and followed the same training sessions. Dogs’ behavioral reactivity was scored according to a standardized working dogs test to evaluate natural dog attitudes. Plasma samples were analyzed by the high-performance liquid chromatography method to evaluate adrenaline, noradrenaline, L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine, homovanillic acid (HVA), 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol acid (MHPG), 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA), and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) levels. 5-HT and 5-HIAA were also analyzed from platelets. The analysis was carried out considering training, breed, and sex as independent variables. From a behavioral point of view, significant differences were recorded before and after training in “sociability,” “playfulness,” “predatory instinct,” and “aggressiveness” scores. Lower levels of platelet 5-HT and 5-HIAA were found after training. Plasma L-3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine levels differed between sexes, with males showing higher concentrations. These results underline the importance of complete and objective evaluations protocols of the dogs before, during, and after drugs search training to determine effective and successful selection strategies and training procedures.  相似文献

Two experiments were conducted in ovariectomized, pituitary stalk-transected ewes to determine if dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) or serotonin (5-HT) alter secretion of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and prolactin (PRL). In experiment 1, ewes were infused (iv) with saline (control), DA (66 micrograms/kg/min), NE (6.6 micrograms/kg/min) or 5-HT (6.6 micrograms/kg/min). Treatments did not alter pulse frequency, but 5-HT increased (P less than .05) amplitude of pulses of LH and mean concentrations of LH, DA and NE were without effect on basal secretion of LH. DA but not NE or 5-HT decreased (P less than .05) the release of LH in response to gonadotropin hormone-releasing hormone (GnRH, 25 micrograms, im). Concentrations of FSH were not affected by treatments. Secretion of PRL was reduced (P less than .05) by treatment with DA and NE but not 5-HT. Each amine reduced (P less than .05) the release of PRL in response to thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH; 3 micrograms, im). In experiment 2, ewes were given DA at doses of 0, 0.66, 6.6 or 66.0 micrograms/kg/min, iv. No dose altered basal LH, but each dose reduced (P less than .05) basal and TRH-induced release of PRL. Key findings from these studies include direct pituitary action for: (1) 5-HT enhanced basal secretion of LH, (2) suppression of GnRH-induced secretion of LH by DA. (3) DA and NE inhibition of PRL secretion, and (4) DA, NE and 5-HT inhibition of release of PRL in response to TRH.  相似文献

The purpose of this research was to determine if chronic dietary L-DOPA supplementation will alter differentially the brain catechol concentrations, dopamine receptor binding (KD and Bmax) and the incidence of pale, soft and exudative (PSE) meat in stress-susceptible (SS) and stress-resistant (SR) pigs. Stress-susceptible and SR pigs were assigned randomly to these four groups: SS pigs as controls, SR pigs as controls, SS pigs with L-DOPA supplementation and SR pigs with L-DOPA supplementation. The experiment began when pigs weighed 23 kg and terminated when pigs weighed 95 kg. Anatomical brain structures removed at slaughter included hypothalamus, thalamus, cortex, cerebellum, olfactory bulb, caudate nucleus, putamen and substantia nigra. Concentrations of norepinephrine and dopamine were greater in the hypothalami of SS than of SR control pigs. The L-DOPA supplementation eliminated the strain differences of brain catecholamine concentrations. Pigs fed L-DOPA had greater concentrations of dihydroxyphenylacetic acid in six of the eight brain regions analyzed than the controls. Dopamine receptor binding (Bmax and KD) of spiroperidol was similar in all four groups of pigs. Pale, soft and exudative pork developed to the same extent in SS pigs with or without L-DOPA treatment. The results suggest that L-DOPA supplementation eliminates strain differences in brain catecholamine concentrations but does not alter PSE meat development or striatal dopamine receptor binding.  相似文献

1. We measured the concentrations of dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE), epinephrine (E) and 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) in the hypothalamus of 21-d-old male brown-egg layer-type chicks after intracerebroventricular injection of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1). 2. The monoamine concentrations of the whole hypothalamus, paraventricular nucleus and lateral hypothalamic area were not significantly affected by GLP-1. 3. However, concentrations of DA, NE and E, but not 5-HT, in the ventromedial hypothalamic nucleus (VMH) were significantly decreased by GLP-1. 4. These observations suggest that the anorexigenic effect of GLP-1 involves catecholaminergic systems in the VMH in the chick.  相似文献

Sixteen crossbred wethers were distributed among four treatments and fed a control ration based on annual rye-orchardgrass (R-O) for 8 days. Indwelling jugular cannulae were installed and experimental regimes begun the following day (experimental day 1). One-half of the wethers were fed a ration based on endophyte-infected Kentucky-31 fescue while the remainder continued to receive the R-O control diet for 10 days. Spiperone, a dopamine antogonist, was administered to one-half of the wethers receiving each ration on days 8 and 9. Plasma prolactin (PRL), dopamine (DA), norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (E) were measured in jugular venous blood on days 1, 3, 5 and 7-10 of the trial. On day 10, the animals were decapitated; and DA, NE, E and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC) and monoamine oxidase (MAO) were determined in hypothalamic and pituitary tissue. Plasma DA was elevated (P less than .05) following day 8 in wethers fed infected fescue over those fed (R-O), while plasma PRL was reduced (P = .08). Wethers receiving Spiperone had lowered (P less than .05) plasma DA and elevated (P less than .01) plasma PRL. Plasma DA was negatively correlated (P less than .01) with plasma PRL (r = -0.50) following day 8. Plasma NE and E levels and NE, E, DA and DOPAC tissue concentrations were not affected by Spiperone administration or diet. MAO levels in pituitaries were higher (P less than .01) for Spiperone-treated wethers. Wethers receiving the toxic fescue ration exhibited elevated plasma DA concentrations which was associated with depressed prolactin secretion in wethers.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献
