花粉中雌二醇和睾酮含量研究

对花粉中雌二醇和睾酮含量研究表明，不同花粉品种其含量不同，差别甚大。因此，它为花粉的开发利用提供重要依据，作为儿童营养品应采用不含或含量低的花粉，而作为治疗不育症或经年期的药物，应采用高含量的花粉品种。     

17β—雌二醇对雄性金鱼卵黄原蛋白的诱导作用

采用腹腔注射17β-雌二醇的方法诱导雄性金鱼卵黄原蛋白产生,注射浓度为0.05mg·g-1BW,诱导2周后取尾静脉血,离心分离血浆,进行血浆常规聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳,通过对卵黄原蛋白特性基团磷、脂和糖蛋白的染色,确定了卵黄原蛋白在电泳图谱上的位置,开发了一种简便、高效的定性卵黄原蛋白的聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳法。电泳结果表明,在0.05mg·g-1BW的注射浓度下,2周后17β-雌二醇诱导了雄性金鱼卵黄原蛋白产生,并通过ELISA检测卵黄原蛋白的平均含量为690.2ng·mL-1,与对照组雄性金鱼平均含量为10.7ng·mL-1的差异极显著(P<0.01),比雌性对照组检出量285.5ng·mL-1高1倍多;17β-雌二醇诱导组雄鱼血浆钙离子和血总蛋白含量明显增加。     

雌激素和雄激素对鸡成骨细胞增殖、凋亡、细胞周期及其受体mRNA转录的影响

为探讨雌激素和雄激素对鸡胚额骨成骨细胞(OB)增殖、凋亡、细胞周期及其受体mRNA转录的影响,用雌激素(17β雌二醇)和雄激素(十一酸睾酮)单独以及联合处理鸡胚额骨成骨细胞,MTT法测定细胞增殖率,流式细胞仪检测细胞凋亡和细胞周期的变化,荧光定量PCR检测成骨细胞中雌激素受体(ER)及雄激素受体(AR)mRNA的转录。结果显示:一定浓度的雌激素或雄激素在24h内均能促进成骨细胞的增殖,促进成骨细胞的细胞周期进程,但对细胞凋亡无明显作用。雌激素单独或联合雄激素作用能上调ERmRNA的转录,对ARmRNA的转录无明显作用。     

网箱养殖条件下黄鳝初次性成熟的年龄

对网箱养殖条件下黄鳝性腺指数进行测定并观察性腺组织切片,结果发现:网箱养殖条件下黄鳝在1周年内可以达到雌性性成熟,即网箱养殖条件下雌性黄鳝初次性成熟年龄为1龄;网箱养殖条件下1周年内黄鳝的性腺指数大致呈增长趋势,在6月,性腺发育成熟时,性腺指数达最大值,其值为14.33±2.07;网箱养殖黄鳝在1周年内血清雌二醇质量浓度在6月达到最大值,即(1 233.52±126.07)pg/mL,血清睾酮质量浓度在5月已经达到最大值,即(13.99±1.54)pg/mL。     

雌二醇和孕酮对小鼠子宫半胱亚磺酸脱羧酶基因表达和牛磺酸含量的调控

实验主要研究了17β-雌二醇(E2)和孕酮(P4)对小鼠子宫组织中半胱亚磺酸脱羧酶基因(CSD)表达和牛磺酸含量的调控。给去卵巢小鼠分别皮下注射植物油(对照组)、17β-雌二醇(E2)、孕酮(P4)、E2和P4、E2和氟维司群(ICI 182780)、P4和米非司酮(RU486),24h后观察各组小鼠子宫中CSD的表达和牛磺酸的含量。Real-time PCR和Western blot定量分析结果显示,每只小鼠注射1μg E2能够显著抑制CSD的mRNA和蛋白的表达,6mg P4能够显著促进CSD mRNA和蛋白的表达,其受体抑制剂RU486和ICI182780都能逆转它们的作用。高效液相色谱(HPLC)测定结果显示,注射1μg E2和6mg P4分别下调和上调子宫组织中牛磺酸的含量。上述结果提示E2和P4可能通过受体途径参与调节子宫CSD的表达,从而调节子宫中牛磺酸含量。     

Role of ghrelin in regulating rabbit ovarian function and the response to LH and IGF-I

The aim of these in vivo and in vitro studies was to examine the role of ghrelin in the control of plasma hormone concentrations, the proliferation, apoptosis and secretory activity of ovarian granulosa cells and the response of these cells to hormonal treatments. Female rabbits were injected with ghrelin (10 μg/animal/day for one week before ovulation induced by 25 IU PMSG and 0.25 IU LHRH). On the day of ovulation, blood samples were collected and analyzed for concentrations of progesterone (P₄), testosterone (T), estradiol (E₂), estrone-sulphate (ES), insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I) and leptin (L) by RIA. Some control and ghrelin-treated animals were killed in the periovulatory period, their ovaries were weighed and granulosa cells were isolated and cultured for 2 d. Cell proliferation (expression of PCNA) and apoptosis (expression of TdT) were evaluated by immunocytochemistry and TUNEL respectively. Secretion of P₄, T, E₂, IGF-I, and prostaglandin F (PGF) by granulosa cells cultured with and without LH or IGF-I (1, 10 or 100 ng/ml medium) was assessed by RIA. The remaining control and treated animals were kept until parturition, while the number, viability and body weight of pups were recorded.     

Effects of Estradioi and Progesterone on the Numbers and Distribution of Mastocytes in the Uterus of Ovariectomized Rats

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of estradiol （E） and progesterone （P） on mastocyte distribution in the uterus of ovari- ectomized rats. Thirty-five adult female rats were divided randomly into seven groups：one sham operated control group （ SHAM ） ; one ovariectomized group （OVX） ;three ovariectomized plus E treatment grouPs （OVX ＋E 20,100,or 500 μg/kg body weight · d） ; and two ovariectomized plus P groups （ OVX ＋ P 2 or 10 mg/kg body weight · d）. Seven days after treatment, the contents of estradiol and progesterone in serum were detected by radioimmunoassay, and mastocytes in the uterus were stained by toluidine blue staining. Results were as following： （1） Compared to ovariectomized rat, the concent ration of estradiol in serum increased by 97. 13 % in OVX ＋ E 20 （P 〈 0.05）,204. 84 % in OVX＋E 100 （P〈0.05）,and 936.45 % in OVX ＋ E500 group （P〈0.05）;the progesterone concent ration increased by 77.25 % in OVX ＋P 2 （P 〈0.05） and 235.25 %in OVX ＋P 10 group （ P 〈 0.05 ）. （2） Compared to ovariectomized rat, the number of mast cells in uteri decreased by 32.65% in OVX ＋E 20,64.50 % in OVX ＋E 100 （P〈0.05）,74.49 % in OVX＋E500 （P〈0.05） and 70.67 % in OVX ＋P 10 groups （P〈0.05）. However, the number of mast cells increased by 66.73% in OVX ＋ P 2 group （ P 〈 0.05 ） compared with OVX. The trend of mast cells number in the rat uterus was decreased gradually with the increase of estrogen or progesterone concent ration. The number of mast cells in ovariectomized rat uterus was affected by estrogen or progesterone. These results demonstrated that estrogen or progesterone directly affected the number of mast cells in the uterus of rat.     

全放牧婆罗门牛和BMY牛的超数排卵效果及激素水平比较

为了比较婆罗门牛和BMY牛的雌二醇(E2)、孕酮(P4)水平及胚胎生产潜力,并探讨MOET技术在BMY牛扩繁中的应用前景,采用进口激素(日本产FSH 24~36 mg+美国产PG 35 mg)和国产激素(国产FSH 10~12 mg+国产PG 0.8 mg)对全放牧婆罗门牛和BMY牛进行超排,并于超排前(同期发情第7天)、超排开始、超排第3天、超排发情当天和胚胎回收当天采集血液,采用RIA法分析血浆中的E2和P4水平。结果表明,BMY牛的黄体数和获胚(卵)数、可用胚数分别较婆罗门牛高2.09个和0.95、0.36枚,但差异不显著(P>0.05);BMY牛的排卵率较婆罗门牛高18.46%(P<0.01),而可用胚率则较婆罗门牛低2.55%(P<0.01)。BMY牛在5个处理时段的E2和P4平均值分别较婆罗门牛高0.58 pg/mL(P<0.01)和1.44 ng/mL(P>0.05),在各处理时段的P4水平变化规律几乎与婆罗门牛一致,E2/P4值为婆罗门牛的5.16倍。结果提示,BMY母牛的E2和P4水平高于婆罗门牛,在激素水平和繁殖性能方面表现出一定的杂种优势;E2水平低是婆罗门牛发情微弱和排卵率低的主要原因之一;在同等放牧管理和超排处理条件下,婆罗门牛及其杂种BMY牛对外源激素的敏感性基本一致,具有同等的胚胎生产潜力。

鸡促性腺激素释放激素对卵泡膜分泌雌二醇的影响

本实验选用性成熟的京白种蛋鸡,从同一产蛋顺序中取其发育不同阶段的各级卵泡(F_1～F_4),分离膜层,消化为单个的膜细胞,进行短期细胞培养,着重观察鸡促性腺激素释放激素(GnRH)对培养过程中膜细胞雌二醇分泌的影响.用放射免疫法测定细胞培养液中雌二醇的含量,得到以下结果:①未加外源激素处理的对照组细胞,随着卵泡从小到大的发育成熟过程,膜细胞雌二醇的分泌量逐渐降低;②适当剂量的鸡 GnRH-Ⅱ对各级卵泡膜细胞雌二醇的分泌均有促进作用,其中 F_4,F_3,F_2比 F_1更敏感;③加前体物(孕酮或雄烯二酮)之后,再加鸡 GnRH-Ⅱ比单加前体物或单加鸡 GnRH-Ⅱ,膜细胞雌二醇的分泌量增加更明显.实验结果提示,在体外细胞培养的条件下,GnRH-Ⅱ对膜细胞雌二醇的分泌不仅有促进作用,还可能促进雌二醇的合成。
