Important in all experimental animal studies is the need to control stress stimuli associated with environmental change and experimental procedures. As the stress response involves alterations in levels of vasoactive hormones, ensuing changes in cardiovascular parameters may confound experimental outcomes. Accordingly, we evaluated the duration required for dogs (n = 4) to acclimatized to frequent blood sampling that involved different procedures. On each sampling occasion during a 6-week period, dogs were removed from their pen to a laboratory area and blood was collected either by venepuncture (days 2, 15, 34, 41) for plasma renin activity (PRA), epinephrine (EPI), norepinephrine, aldosterone, insulin, and atrial natriuretic peptide, or by cannulation (dogs restrained in slings; days 1, 8, 14, 22, 30, 33, 37, 40) for determination of haematocrit (HCT) alone (days 1 to 22) or HCT with plasma volume (PV; days 30 to 40). PRA was higher on days 2 and 15 compared with days 34 and 41 and had decreased by up to 48% by the end of the study (day 41 vs day 15; mean/SEM: 1.18/0.27 vs 2.88/0.79 ng ANG I/ml/h, respectively). EPI showed a time-related decrease from days 2 to 34, during which mean values had decreased by 51% (mean/SEM: 279/29 vs 134/20.9 pg/ml for days 2 and 34, respectively), but appeared stable from then on. None of the other hormones showed any significant variability throughout the course of the study. HCT was relatively variable between days 1 to 22 but stabilized from day 30, after which all mean values were approximately 6% lower than those between days 1 and 8. We conclude that an acclimatization period of at least 4 weeks is required to eliminate stress-related effects in dogs associated with periodic blood sampling.

The proteolytic activity of luminal extracts from five regions (duodenum, jejunum, ileum, caecum and colon) of the brushtail possum intestine towards bovine serum albumin (BSA) and human luteinizing hormone releasing hormone (LHRH) was investigated. There were no significant differences in degradation rates between fresh and previously frozen extracts from any region of the possum intestine. The inhibition of degradation of BSA by luminal extracts from two regions (jejunum and ileum) and of LHRH from four regions (jejunum, ileum, caecum and colon) was evaluated. Soybean trypsin-chymotrypsin inhibitor (SBTI), sodium deoxycholate, Carbopol 934P, bacitracin and bestatin significantly inhibited the degradation of both LHRH and BSA (P < 0.05). SBTI almost totally inhibited the proteolysis of BSA and the peptidolysis of LHRH in extracts from the small intestine. This finding suggests that serine proteases such as chymotrypsin are responsible for the protein and peptide degradation in luminal extracts. It is concluded that including serine protease inhibitors in a formulation may enhance oral delivery of bioactive peptides and proteins to possums.

Vapotronics Inc. is developing the thermal inkjet (TIJ) technology used extensively in the printer industry to create a digital aerosol inhaler for the inhalation of therapeutics for local and systemic delivery. The operation of thermal inkjet printers requires generation of high temperatures and vaporization of the liquid formulation to effect droplet ejection. A study was conducted to develop formulations that would permit the generation of aerosols of therapeutic proteins without damage to the inkjet system or degradation of the proteins. Two proteins, human growth hormone and insulin, were formulated and aerosolized. The aerosol was collected and subjected to assays to compare the physicochemical and biological activities of these proteins before and after aerosolization. In each case, there was no significant changes to the proteins as a result of the aerosolization, providing evidence that TIJ can be used for aerosolizing solutions of protein therapeutics.

There are experimental data demonstrating the presence and actions of various neurotransmitters in the ovary, thus supporting the view that they might play a role in intraovarian regulatory mechanisms, although their exact function in the regulation of ovarian hormone secretion is unclear. The objective of the present study was to investigate the direct action of catecholamines, acetylcholine and histamine on progesterone secretion of human granulosa cells in a superfused cell system. Human granulosa cells were isolated from preovulatory follicular fluid using a Percoll gradient centrifugation method. Approximately 2 x 10(6) cells were mixed with Sephadex G-10 and were transferred into two chambers of the superfusion apparatus. The system was perfused with a culture medium and test materials were added to the system at a dose of 100 pmol/ml. The progesterone concentration of samples was measured using an (125)I radioimmunoassay. Administration of epinephrine (adrenaline), norepinephrine (noradrenaline), dopamine and histamine had no effect on progesterone release. However, acetylcholine produced a significant progesterone release, which could be blocked by atropine. The observed effect of acetylcholine on progesterone release of superfused human granulosa cells may reflect a physiological role of acetylcholine in the regulation of granulosa cell function during the menstrual cycle.

Estrogen and selective estrogen receptor modulator regulation of insulin-like growth factor binding protein 5 in the rat uterus.

Insulin-like growth factor (IGF) binding protein 5 (IGFPB-5) is abundant in the uterus and is implicated in the sex steroid-induced growth of this tissue. The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential for modulation of the action of IGFPB-5 at the uterus level in the rat by estrogen and selective estrogen receptor modulators (SERMs). One hundred and twenty adult rats, 2-3 months of age, were included. Among them 100 animals were ovariectomized 4 days prior to the use of drugs for 48 days. Rats were divided into six groups: non-ovariectomized (group 1); ovariectomized (group 2); and those receiving conjugated equine estrogens, 50 microg/day (group 3), tamoxifen 250 microg/day (group 4), raloxifene 3 mg/kg (group 5) and toremifene 2.5 mg/kg (group 6). Total RNA was isolated from the uterus and IGFBP-5 mRNA levels were assessed by the semiquantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). Our results demonstrate that conjugated equine estrogens were able to up-regulate mRNA levels of the IGFBP-5 gene, while oophorectomy alone as well as associated with hormone therapy such as tamoxifen, raloxifene and toremifene resulted in down-regulation of uterine IGFBP-5 gene expression. The up-regulation of IGFBP-5 expression induced by estrogens suggests that, in vivo, the uterotrophic effects of estrogen replacement therapy are mediated, at least inpart, by the IGF pathways. On the other hand, the use of SERMs (tamoxifen, raloxifene and toremifene) was associated with severe down-regulation of this gene at the transcription level.

Is your hair shedding prematurely? Are you losing hair gradually or all of a sudden, or just as you are aging?
Hair Million is a herbal formula to reverse your hair loss problems.
Numerous anecdotal cases, and personal testimonies indicate that this herbal formula based on Chinese herbs actually
improves the conditions of hair thinning and hair loss for a significant fraction of people taking it regularly.
The biology of hair growth is complex and a field still under exploration.
We don't know how Hair Million stops hair loss, and promotes
hair restoration, despite all the supporting anecdotal cases.
Neither scientific research nor placebo controlled clinical trials has been conducted due to the cost. Shortage of scientific
and clinical research data is not uncommon in herbal and nutritional arena. Important merits of Hair Million is that it is relatively
inexpensive compared with surgical transplantation or prescription drugs, and secondly, it is made only of traditional herbs that
promote hair growth and are widely known to be safe in regular quantities. If you are interested in clinically tested prescription
DHEA is a natural hormone, and it is produced in our body by the adrenal glands.
DHEA has been suggested to provide numerous potential benefits. DHEA (or dehydroepiandrosterone) is converted into androgens (male hormones)
or estrogens (female hormones) in the cells.
Our bodies produce decreasing amount of DHEA as we get older.
various health benefits: To deter aging,
improve sexual function/erectile dysfunction, treat cognitive decline, enhance athletic performance,
facilitate weight loss, improve strength, prevent osteoporosis, enhance immunomodulation for rheumatic conditions,
and treat depression.
