چکیده

During acute hypoxia, a hypometabolic response is commonly observed in many newborn and adult mammalian species. We hypothesized that, if hypoxic hypometabolism were entirely a regulated response with no limitation in O2 availability, pharmacological uncoupling of the oxidative phosphorylation should raise O2 consumption (VO2) by similar amounts in hypoxia and normoxia. Metabolic, ventilatory, and cardiovascular measurements were collected from conscious rats in air and in hypoxia, both before and after intravenous injection of the mitochondrial uncoupler 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP). In hypoxia (10% O2 breathing, 60% arterial O2 saturation), VO2, as measured by an open-flow technique, was less than in normoxia (approximately 80%). Successive DNP injections (6 mg/kg, 4 times) progressively increased VO2 in both normoxia and hypoxia by similar amounts. Body temperature slightly increased in normoxia, whereas it did not change in hypoxia. The DNP-stimulated VO2 during hypoxia could even exceed the control normoxic value. A single DNP injection (17 mg/kg iv) had a similar metabolic effect; it also resulted in hypotension and a drop in systemic vascular resistance. We conclude that pharmacological stimulation of VO2 counteracts the VO2 drop determined by hypoxia and stimulates VO2 not dissimilarly from normoxia. Hypoxic hypometabolism is likely to reflect a regulated process of depression of thermogenesis, with no limitation in cellular O2 availability.

Hypoxic hypometabolism in the anesthetized turtle, Trachemys scripta.

A hypometabolic response during acute exposure to hypoxia has been measured in both endothermic and ectothermic vertebrates. In the turtle, we determined the metabolic response to normocapnic hypoxia and hypercapnic hypoxia. In addition, we tested the hypothesis that hypoxic hypometabolism was a regulated response that did not depend on O2 availability. Metabolic, cardiovascular, and blood gas ...

Study on the Application of Cucurbit[6]uril as a Nanoporous Adsorbent for the Removal of 2,4-Dinitrophenol from Wastewaters

In the present study, cucurbit[6]uril was used as a nonporous adsorbent for the removal of 2,4-dinitrophenol from aqueous solutions. The experiments were carried out in a batch system to optimize operation variables such as pH of solution, contact time, adsorbent dose and salt concentration. Langmuir, Freundlich and Tempkin isotherms were applied for the explanation of experimental data. The hi...

Studies on the effect of neonatal hypermetabolism on hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis in adult rats.

Neonatal rats which had received a daily injection of 50 microgram of 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) or 30 microgram of L-thyroxine (T 4) for 7 days beginning on the day of birth were compared as to the late effect of the hypothalamo-pituitary-thyroid axis with the neo saline control. Neo DNP rats and neo T 4 rats revealed the retardation of growth compared with neo saline rats. The plasma level of TS...

Comparative study of efficiency between 2,4 dinitrophenol removal using dry sludge and modified calcium chloride

Background and Objective: 2,4 dinitrophenol is observed in sewage produced from chemical and petrochemical industries. Contamination of drinking water with these pollutants causes toxicity, health problems and change in taste and odor. The present study was developed to evaluate the efficiency of removal 2,4-DNP through dried sludge adsorbent and modified calcium chloride sludge adsorbent. M...
