چکیده

The effect of intravenous infusion of acetate, propionate and butyrate (0, 3, 10, 30 μmol kg-' min-1 over 40 min) on the secretion of growth hormone (GH), insulin and glucagon in response to growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF) injection (0.25 μg/kg, 10 min after the onset of acid infusion) was determined in six sheep. The intravenous injection of GRF caused a marked increase in plasma GH at every dose of each acid. The GH response to GRF was unaffected by an intravenous infusion of acetate. The basal plasma levels of insulin, glucagon and glucose were unchanged by acetate infusion. The infusion of propionate markedly suppressed the GH response to GRF in a dose-dependent manner. Propionate produced increases in plasma insulin, glucagon and glucose concentrations. Butyrate infusion also caused a significant attenuation of GRF-induced GH secretion. Butyrate infusion stimulated the secretion of both insulin and glucagon and caused hyperglycemia. After cessation of the infusion of propionate or butyrate plasma GH tended to increase again. Plasma somatostatin concentrations, which were measured only for the highest dose of butyrate, were unchanged during acid infusion, but increased on discontinuing the infusion. It is concluded that propionate and butyrate suppress GH secretion, while stimulating the secretion of insulin and glucagon in sheep.

We have examined the regulation of GH secretion from monolayer cultures of prepubertal male lamb anterior pituitary cells. Growth hormone-releasing factor (GRF 1-44) stimulated GH release in a dose-related manner : the maximal effective dose was 10IO M, which caused a 500 % increase in basal GH secretion, while the half-maximal effect was reached with a dose of 2.5 x 10-&dquo;M (ED 5Q ). Thyrot...

Regulation of growth hormone secretion from human fetal pituitaries: interactions between growth hormone releasing factor and somatostatin.

Using an explant culture system, we have demonstrated that human somatotropes respond to growth hormone releasing factor (GRF) and somatostatin (SRIF) from as early as 9.5 weeks of fetal age. Responsiveness to GRF increases significantly as a function of age up to midgestation while SRIF inhibition of basal growth hormone (GH) release does not change. SRIF has little effect on GRF-stimulated GH...

Effect of cholinergic blockade on inhibited GH secretion by feeding and intraruminal SCFA infusion in sheep.

The effect of cholinergic blockade on suppressed growth hormone (GH) secretion caused by feeding or the intraruminal infusion of an acetate, propionate, and butyrate mixture (107 and 214 μmol ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ min-1over 6 h) was examined in ovariectomized ewes. Intraruminal infusion at the rate of 107 μmol ⋅ kg-1 ⋅ min-1increased peripheral plasma short-chain fatty acid (SCFA) concentrations to approxim...

Thyroid hormone modulation of the hypothalamic growth hormone (GH)-releasing factor-pituitary GH axis in the rat.

Both thyroid hormone and hypothalamic growth hormone (GH)-releasing factor (GRF) facilitate pituitary somatotroph function. However, the pathophysiological role of thyroid hormone in GRF secretion is less well understood. Thyrotoxicosis, induced by administration of thyroxine (T4) in rats, inhibited both pituitary GH levels and immunoreactive GRF secretion from incubated hypothalamus. At the hi...

Effect of Scrophularia Striata Boiss Extract on in Vitro Gas Production Parameters, Concentration and Volatile Fatty Acids Profile and Hydrolytic Enzyme Activity in Ceca Contents of Male Adults Rabbits

IIn this study, the effect of different levels of Scrophularia striata extract on the parameters of laboratory gas production, the concentration of volatile fatty acids and the activity of hydrolytic enzymes on the contents of the cecum of adult male rabbits were investigated. For this purpose, 20 New Zealand rabbits weighing approximately 1.6 ± 0.2 kg (5 months and up) were used in a completel...
