چکیده
LHRH-stimulated LH and FSH secretion was studied in hemipituitaries, in vitro, obtained from several dystrophic mouse mutants (male : 129/ReJ-dy ; 129B6F1/J\x=req-\ dy; C57BL/6J-dy and C57BL/6J-dy2J; female: 129B6F1/J-dy)and a dystrophic hamster mutant (male and female CHF-147). Without exception, pituitary tissue from dystrophic animals released significantly more FSH than did tissue obtained from controls. LH secretion was more variable; in the male mice release was inhibited, whereas in the male dystrophic hamsters secretion was elevated above normal. The female mouse mutant pituitary released more LH whereas in the female hamster LH secretion was normal. The reduction in body weight of the mutants studied could have contributed to the observations of impaired anterior pituitary function.

Introduction: Hydatid cyst is among parasitic diseases common between man and domestic animals, as well as domestic and non domestic carnivorous animals. This disease causes organ damage and injuries in human, and sometimes leads to death. This study aims at assessment of secondary hydatid cyst growth in laboratory animals and determination of their sensitivity. Materials and Methods: The Pr...
متن کاملParathyroid ablation in dystrophic hamsters. Effects on Ca content and histology of heart, diaphragm, and rectus femoris.
Cumulative evidence indicates that there is an increased accumulation of calcium in dystrophic muscle and that this may have a pathophysiological role in the progression of the dystrophic process. The accumulation may be related to a defect of the plasma membrane. Because parathyroid hormone (PTH) stimulates calcium influx into the cytosol, the chronic effects of surgical ablation of the parath...

1. The dose of pentobarbitone required for anaesthesia was significantly greater for dystrophic hamsters than for normal animals. 2. Serum creatine kinase activity was significantly higher in dystrophic than in normal hamsters. 3. Brain, heart and tibialis anterior muscle from dystrophic animals contained significantly less creatine kinase than the normal tissues. 4. Creatine kinase in normal a...
متن کاملCollagen of the dystrophic hamster diaphragm.
The collagen content of the diaphragm was measured in normal and dystrophic hamsters aged 130 and 270 days. The diaphragm collagen content was greater in dystrophic hamsters than in control hamsters of the same age. The effect was greater in the older hamsters whether the collagen content was expressed in terms of the percentage of dry weight, in relation to surface area, or as total collagen. ...

The incorporation of labelled leucine was measured in protein fractions of muscle in intact control and dystrophic female hamsters and also in cell-free preparations obtained from these animals. The labelling of the soluble sarcoplasmic protein fraction, the microsomal protein fraction and the sarcolemma protein fraction was increased in the dystrophic hindleg muscle. The specific radioactiviti...
