Gonadal differentiation can take many forms in fish, ranging from gonochorism, where individuals directly develop as male
or female and finally possess only testis or ovaries at sexual maturation, to hermaphroditism where the same individuals can
produce mature male and female gametes at some time in their lives. Hermaphrodite fish are, thus, an excellent model for studying
the plasticity of sex determination and differentiation in vertebrates. We have shown that sex steroids play a principal role
in sex differentiation and sex change in fish. Our laboratory implements several fish models that undergo sex change from
female to male or male to female or in both directions. In this review, we will briefly discuss recent advances in our understanding
of the mechanism of sex change in coral reef fish. 相似文献

Blood samples were obtained sequentially from 10 dairy cows around the time of
parturition to assess plasma fluctuations in estradiol-17β (E2) levels in
association with those of several bone resorption markers. Plasma E2
concentration increased sharply a few days prepartum and decreased quickly after
parturition. In terms of bone resorption markers, the plasma level of tartrate-resistant
acid phosphatase isoform 5b (TRAP5b) rose significantly, commencing 1 week prepartum, and
was maintained at this level to a few days postpartum. The plasma concentration of
carboxyterminal collagen cross-links of type-I collagen (CTx) increased significantly
after parturition. These observations suggest that osteoclast-mediated bone resorption was
activated after parturition when plasma E2 concentrations decreased. 相似文献

Monoclonal integration of bovine leukemia virus (BLV) proviral DNA into bovine genomes
was detected in peripheral blood from two clinical cases of enzootic bovine leukosis (EBL)
without enlargement of superficial lymph nodes. A BLV-specific probe hybridized with 1 to
3 EcoRI and HindIII fragments in these 2 atypical EBL
cattle by Southern blotting and hybridization, as well as in 3 typical EBL cattle. The
probe also hybridized to a large number of EcoRI and
HindIII fragments in 5 cattle with persistent leukosis. These results
suggest that the detection of monoclonal integration of BLV provirus into the host genome
may serve as a marker of monoclonal proliferation and malignancy in difficult to diagnose
EBL cattle. 相似文献

Initial decomposition rates, changes in organic chemical components (acid-insoluble fraction, holocellulose, polyphenols, soluble carbohydrates) and nutrient dynamics (K, Mg, Ca, P, N) were examined for fine roots and leaves of Japanese cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa). Litterbag experiments designed to evaluate the relative effects of litter type and position of litter supply in the soil were carried out, considering that root and leaf litter typically occupy different locations and have different substrate qualities. Litterbags of roots and leaves were placed at two positions (on the soil surface and in the humus layer), and collected every 3 months over one year. The mass loss rate and N release were slower during root decomposition in the humus layer than during leaf decomposition on the soil surface. These differences between root and leaf decomposition were mainly caused by the litter type, and the effect of the position on decomposition was relatively small. Root litter was less influenced by position related effects, such as differences in humidity, than leaf litter, and this recalcitrant trait to environmental effects may be responsible for the slower mass loss rate and N release in root decomposition. The results of the present study suggest that fine roots are persistent in the soil and serve an important role in N retention in forest ecosystems because of their litter substrate quality. 相似文献

Polarized cell behaviors drive axis elongation in animal embryos, but the mechanisms underlying elongation of many tissues remain unknown. Eggs of Drosophila undergo elongation from a sphere to an ellipsoid during oogenesis. We used live imaging of follicles (developing eggs) to elucidate the cellular basis of egg elongation. We find that elongating follicles undergo repeated rounds of circumferential rotation around their long axes. Follicle epithelia mutant for integrin or collagen IV fail to rotate and elongate, which results in round eggs. We present evidence that polarized rotation is required to build a polarized, fibrillar extracellular matrix (ECM) that constrains tissue shape. Thus, global tissue rotation is a morphogenetic behavior that uses planar polarity information in the ECM to control tissue elongation. 相似文献

Impact of lipid physical state on the oxidation of methyl linolenate in oil-in-water emulsions 总被引：1，自引：0，他引：1
The purpose of this research was to examine the influence of the physical state of lipids on iron-promoted oxidation of methyl linolenate in octadecane oil-in-water emulsions. Octadecane and methyl linolenate oil-in-water emulsions were prepared that contained droplets having the octadecane as either liquid or solid. The physical state of the octadecane was confirmed by a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). The effect of the physical state of the lipid on oxidation rates was determined as a function of iron concentration (80 and 160 microM), pH (3.0 or 7.0), emulsifier type, and cooling rate. Oxidation of methyl linolenate was determined by lipid hydroperoxides and thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS). Emulsions containing solid octadecane had higher rates of lipid hydroperoxide and TBARS formation than those containing liquid octadecane. The rate at which the emulsions were cooled had no influence on oxidation rates. Oxidation rates in both emulsions increased with increasing iron concentration and decreasing pH. Oxidation rates were lowest in emulsions with cationic droplet membranes (dodecyl trimethylammonium bromide-stabilized), presumably due to the repulsion of iron from the oxidizable methyl linolenate in the emulsion droplet core. These results suggest that upon crystallization of octadecane, the liquid methyl linolenate migrated to the emulsion droplet surface, where it was more prone to oxidation because it was in closer contact with the iron ions in the aqueous phase. 相似文献

The objective of this study was to examine whether high concentrations of epidermal growth factor (EGF) and/or insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) would have a beneficial effect on bovine embryo development in vitro and to obtain normal calves by using an ovum pick up method and embryo culture in a chemically defined medium. When compared with controls, EGF (100 or 200 ng/ml) or IGF-I (50 or 100 ng/ml) significantly increased the rate of embryos that developed into blastocysts during an 8-day culture after the in vitro fertilization of oocytes obtained from ovaries from a slaughterhouse. IGF-I induced a dose-dependent increase in cell number in both the inner cell mass and the trophectoderm, whereas EGF stimulated proliferation only in the inner cell mass. A combination of EGF (100 ng/ml) and IGF-I (50 ng/ml) produced an additive effect, and embryos developed into blastocysts at a comparatively high rate (27.9%) compared with controls (12.0%). A similar rate of development was achieved using a combination of EGF and IGF-I in the culture of embryos following ovum pick up by ultrasound-guided transvaginal follicular aspiration and in vitro fertilization, and 5 blastocysts that developed after the culture were transferred into uteri; two embryos implanted, and normal calves were born. These results suggest that the combined use of EGF and IGF-I makes bovine embryo culture in a chemically defined medium a practical and useful procedure for producing blastocysts, and its application to embryo culture following ovum pick up and in vitro fertilization could be useful for producing normal calves. 相似文献
