Sickle cell disease of transgenic SAD mice.
Erythrocyte sickling on deoxygenation in vitro occurs in transgenic SAD mice, hemizygous for a modified human sickle hemoglobin, HbSAD [alpha 2 beta 2S(beta 6val)Antilles (beta 23 lle)D- Punjab (beta 121Gln)] (SAD-1, 19% HbSAD; beta-thal/SAD-1, 26% HbSAD). The present study examines the cellular defects in vivo and pathologic changes observed in SAD-1 mice at atmospheric oxygenation as well as ...
متن کاملLDL receptor but not apolipoprotein E deficiency increases diet-induced obesity and diabetes in mice.
The aim of this study was to determine whether phenotypes associated with type 2 diabetes are altered in dyslipidemic obese mice. C57BL/6 wild-type, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor-deficient (LDLR-/-), and apolipoprotein E-deficient (apoE-/-) mice were fed a high-fat, high-carbohydrate diet (diabetogenic diet), and the development of obesity, diabetes, and hypertriglyceridemia was examin...
متن کاملEnterostatin deficiency increases serum cholesterol but does not influence growth and food intake in mice.
A pentapeptide released from procolipase, enterostatin, selectively attenuates dietary fat intake when administered peripherally or centrally. Enterostatin may act through the afferent vagus nerve and in the hypothalamus and amygdala, primarily in the central nucleus of the amygdala. To investigate the physiological role of endogenous enterostatin, we created an enterostatin-deficient, colipase...
متن کاملHypoxia/reoxygenation causes inflammatory response in transgenic sickle mice but not in normal mice.
In sickle cell anemia, the initiation, progression, and resolution of a vasoocclusive episode may present features of ischemia-reperfusion injury, with recurrent episodes of ischemia/hypoxia and reoxygenation promoting inflammation. Here, we have tested the hypothesis that hypoxia/reoxygenation triggers inflammation in the transgenic sickle mouse. In these mice, even at ambient air, peripheral ...
متن کاملMechanism of Testosterone Deficiency in the Transgenic Sickle Cell Mouse
Testosterone deficiency is associated with sickle cell disease (SCD), but its underlying mechanism is not known. We investigated the possible occurrence and mechanism of testosterone deficiency in a mouse model of human SCD. Transgenic sickle male mice (Sickle) exhibited decreased serum and intratesticular testosterone and increased luteinizing hormone (LH) levels compared with wild type (WT) m...
