Two stages of increased IgA transfer during lactation in the marsupial, trichosurus vulpecula (Brushtail possum).
The polymeric Ig receptor (pIgR) and J chain molecules are involved in the transfer of IgA across the mammary gland epithelia into milk. The J chain binds two IgA molecules to form dimeric IgA, and the pIgR transports this complex through epithelial cells. We report here the cloning of the first marsupial homologues for the pIgR and J chain from the brushtail possum. Marsupial young are born af...
متن کاملThe GH/IGF-I axis in the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) pouch young.
Plasma and pituitary GH concentrations and liver GH receptor (GHR), IGF-I and IGF-binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3) mRNA expression were determined in brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) pouch young aged 12-150 days post-partum and in adults. Mean plasma GH concentrations were highest, measuring around 150 ng/ml, from 12 to 100 days post-partum, and thereafter declined so that by 150 days post-p...
متن کاملInduction of xenobiotic metabolising enzymes in the common brushtail possum, Trichosurus vulpecula, by Eucalyptus terpenes.
The mixed function oxidase (MFO) activity and content was studied in the liver of common brushtail possums fed for 10 days on a diet containing a mixture of terpenes found in Eucalyptus leaves on which possums commonly browse. The MFOs were compared to the MFOs in possums fed a control diet of fruits and cereals only. The terpenes chosen were 1,8-cineole, p-cymene, alpha-pinene and limonene. Th...
متن کاملRole of PGF2alpha and oxytocin in parturition in the brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula).
Maturation of the fetal pituitary and adrenal glands allows the secretion of cortisol, which in turn leads to an increase in prostaglandin and mesotocin production. The production of prostaglandin and mesotocin results in an increase in uterine contractions and initiates birth in marsupials. The major metabolite of PGF(2alpha), 13,14-dihydro-15-keto-prostaglandin F(2alpha) (PGFM), has been foun...
متن کاملBrushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) diet in a north Westland mixed-beech (Nothofagus) forest
We quantified brushtail possum (Trichosurus vulpecula) diet in a mixed Nothofagus fusca-N. menziesii forest in north Westland. Diet comprised 49 food items of which four (Aristotelia serrata, Muehlenbeckia australis and Weinmannia racemosa foliage, and W. racemosa flowers) contributed 68%. The canopy dominant Nothofagus species were a minor diet component (<1%), while wood, fungi and bark were ...
