The use of vitamin D metabolites and analogues for the prevention of milk fever in dairy cattle     

B. F. Sansom 《Veterinary research communications》1977,1(1):323-335

During the past decade it has been discovered that vitamin D₃ (cholecalciferol) is converted into 25-hydroxycholecalciferol in the liver and that this compound in converted in the kidney into 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. These metabolites and particularly 1, 25-dihydroxycholecalciferol, rather than vitamin D itself, have powerful effects on calcium metabolism, stimulating the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract and the resorption of calcium from bone. A synthetic analogue of these metabolites, 1-hydroxycholecalciferol, is rapidly converted in the liver into 1, 25-dihycroxycholecalciferol. Thus the two metabolites and the synthetic analogue may be valuable for the prevention on treatment of milk fever.The three compounds, when administered in doses ranging from 0.5 to 32g/kg bodyweight increase the concentrations of calcium and phosphorus in the blood plasma of cattle more quickly than much larger doses of vitamin D₃. Their principal effect is to stimulate the absorption of calcium from the gastrointestinal tract. At the same time they decrease the plasma concentration of magnesium slightly. Trials of 25-hydroxycholecalciferol and 1-hydroxycholecalciferol in the prevention of milk fever have shown promising results.

Kurzfassung Im vergangenen Jahrzehnt hat man festgestellt, dass das Vitamin D₃ (Cholecalciferol) in der Leber in 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol umgewandelt wird und die Nieren diese Verbindung wiederum in 1, 25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol umbilden. Mehr noch als Vitamin D selbst zeigen diese Metaboliten und hier insbesondere das 1, 25-Dihydroxychlecalciferol umfangreiche Auswirkungen auf den Kalziummetabolismus, indem sie die Kalziumabsorption aus dem Magen-Darmtrakt und die Kalziumresorption der Knochen anregen. Ein synthetischer Analogstoff zu diesen Metaboliten, das 1- Hydroxycholecalciferol, wird in der Leber rasch in 1, 25-Dihydroxycholecalciferol umgewandelt. Die beiden Metaboliten und der synthetische Analogwirkstoff könnten daher für die Milchfieberprophylaxe bzw-therapie von Nutzen sein.Werden die drei Verbindungen in Dosen von 0,5 bis 32g/kg Körpergewicht verabreicht, so erhöht sich die Kalzium-und Phosphorkonzentration im Blutplasma der Kühe schneller als bei bedeutend höheren Dosen von Vitamin D₃. Ihre Hauptwirkung liegt in der Anregung der Kalzium-absorption aus dem Magen-Darmtrakt. Gleichzeitig bauen sie jedoch auch in geringfügigem masse die Magnesiumkonzentration im Plasma ab. Versuche mit 25-Hydroxycholecalciferol und 1-Hydroxycholecalciferol haben bei der Milchfieberprophylaxe vielversprechende Ergebnisse gezeigt.

Resume Au cours de la dernière décennie, on a découvert que la vitamine D₃ (cholécalciférol) se transformait en 25-hydroxycholécalciférol dans le foie et que ce composé se transformait en 1, 25-dihydroxy-cholécalciférol dans le rein. Ces métabolites, et en particulier le 1, 25-dihydroxycholécalciférol, ont, plus que la vitamine D elle-même, des effets puissants sur le métabolisme du calcium: ils stimulent l'absorption du calcium de l'appareil gastrointestinal et la résorption du calcium des os. Une substance homologue synthétique de cés metabolites, le 1-hydroxycholécalciférol, se transforme rapidement en 1, 25-dihydroxycholécalciférol dans le foie. Les deux métabolites et la substance homologue synthétique peuvent donc s'avérer précieux dans la prévention ou le traitement de la fièvre laiteuse.Administrés en doses allant de 0,5 à 32g/kg de poids corporel, ces trois composés augmentent les concentrations de calcium et de phosphore dans le plasma sanguin du bétail plus rapidement que des doses beaucoup plus fortes de vitamine D₃. Ils ont pour principal effet de stimuler l'absorption du calcium de l'appareil gastro-intestinal. Simultanément, ils réduisent légèrement la concentration de magnésium dans le plasma. Les essais d'utilisation du 25-hydroxycholécalciférol et du 1-hydroxycholécalciférol pour la prévention de la fièvre laiteuse ont donné des résultats prometteurs.

Riassunto Nel corso dell'ultimo decennio si è scoperto che la vitamina D₃ (colecalciferolo) viene trasformata nel fegato in 25-idrossicolecalciferolo, il quale, a sua volta, si trasforma nel rene in 1, 25-diidrossicolecalciferolo. Detti metaboliti, ed in specie l'1, 25-diidrossicolecalciferolo., più che la stessa vitamina D, hanno potenti effetti sul metabolismo del calcio, poichè ne stimolano l'assorbimento da parte dell' apparato digerente e l'anabolizzazione da parte delle ossa. Un composto sintetico analogo di questi metobiliti, l'1, idrossicolecalciferolo, viene rapidamente trasformato nel fegato in 1, 25-diidrossicolecalciferolo. Perciò i due metaboliti e il composto sintetico analogo possono essere utili per la profilassi e la cura della febbre da latte.I tre composti, se somministrati in dosi da 0.5 a 32g/kg peso corporeo, aumentano la concentrazione del calcio e del fosforo nel plasma sanguigno del bestiame più rapidamente di dosi molto maggiori di vitamina D₃. Il loro effetto principale è quello di stimolare l'assorbimento del calcio da parte dell'apparato digerente. Contemporaneamente, essi riducono leggermente la concentrazione di magnesio nel plasma. Esperimenti con il 25-idrossicolecalciferolo nella profilassi della febbre da latte hanno dato risultati promettenti.

Trans-endocytosis of CD80 and CD86: a molecular basis for the cell-extrinsic function of CTLA-4   总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1

Cytotoxic T lymphocyte antigen 4 (CTLA-4) is an essential negative regulator of T cell immune responses whose mechanism of action is the subject of debate. CTLA-4 shares two ligands (CD80 and CD86) with a stimulatory receptor, CD28. Here, we show that CTLA-4 can capture its ligands from opposing cells by a process of trans-endocytosis. After removal, these costimulatory ligands are degraded inside CTLA-4-expressing cells, resulting in impaired costimulation via CD28. Acquisition of CD86 from antigen-presenting cells is stimulated by T cell receptor engagement and observed in vitro and in vivo. These data reveal a mechanism of immune regulation in which CTLA-4 acts as an effector molecule to inhibit CD28 costimulation by the cell-extrinsic depletion of ligands, accounting for many of the known features of the CD28-CTLA-4 system.  相似文献

Boluses of controlled release glass for supplementing ruminants with copper     

W M Allen  B F Sansom  P T Gleed  C B Mallinson  C F Drake 《The Veterinary record》1984,115(3):55-57

A controlled release glass was formulated into boluses weighing approximately 17 g or 75 g and administered to 19 lambs and 20 steers respectively. The animals were at pasture during the summer months. The lambs were slaughtered between 57 and 219 days after dosing when the mean concentration of copper in their livers had increased to 107.8 +/- 33.4 mg copper/kg fresh weight compared with 55.9 +/- 23.0 mg copper/kg fresh weight in undosed controls. The steers were slaughtered more than 140 days after dosing; the mean concentrations of copper in plasma had increased and the mean concentration of copper in liver was significantly greater than in undosed control steers (14.1 +/- 4.8 mg copper/kg fresh weight liver in dosed steers, 4.7 +/- 1.4 mg copper/kg in control steers) and was similar to the concentration in steers which had received 200 mg copper as copper calcium edetate (18.2 +/- 4.2 mg copper/kg fresh weight). In sheep the minimum rate of release of copper into the reticulorumen was 2.1 mg/day and in steers 11 mg/day.  相似文献   

The half-life of glutamate dehydrogenase in plasma of dry and lactating dairy cows     

K A Collis  H W Symonds  B F Sansom 《Research in veterinary science》1979,27(2):267-268

The clearance of glutamate dehydrogenase from plasma was measured weekly for three weeks in three dry and three lactating cows. The clearance was exponential with a mean clearance constant of 0.0488/j and means (+/- SE) half-life of 14.2 (+/- 0.77) h. There were variations among cows and among measurements in the same cow but there was no difference between the mean half-lives of GDH in lactating and dry cows. Because of the long half-life the small variations among individual cows are unlikely to affect the interpretation of increased plasma GDH activity.  相似文献   

The use of porcine small intestinal submucosa in ten cases of feline corneal disease   总被引：3，自引：0，他引：3

Porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS) was used as a novel graft material in the management of 10 cases of feline corneal disease. Five cases had stromal ulceration associated with trauma, ocular foreign body and/or suspected infection and required a grafting procedure. Five cases had feline sequestra that were managed by a keratectomy prior to placement of SIS as a graft material. Eight eyes healed with minimal corneal scarring with a very good cosmetic and visual result. One eye with continued aqueous leakage in the immediate postoperative period required a conjunctival pedicle graft to reinforce the SIS graft site. One eye required enucleation 48 h following grafting due to progressive keratomalacia but the SIS material remained intact.  相似文献
