Ghrelin对大鼠小肠转运的作用及对中枢和胃肠道c-Fos表达的影响

目的观察静脉注射ghrelin对大鼠小肠转运的作用及对中枢和胃肠道c-Fos表达的影响。方法大鼠禁食24h,静脉注射ghrelin(2、5、10、20μg/kg),经预先埋置在十二指肠内的导管注入伊文氏蓝溶液,观察不同剂量ghrelin对大鼠小肠转运的影响及ghrelin受体拮抗剂(D-Lys3)GHRP-6对其作用的影响。采用免疫组织化学和图像分析方法观察静脉给予ghrelin对大鼠中枢和胃肠道的c-Fos蛋白的激活情况;观察(D-Lys3)GHRP-6对ghrelin作用的影响。结果 1静脉给予ghrelin 2μg/kg对大鼠小肠转运无显著影响,给予ghrelin 5、10、20μg/kg可剂量依赖性促进小肠转运,此作用可被(D-Lys3)GHRP-6阻断。2静脉注射ghrelin可激活中枢多个部位的c-Fos表达,包括下丘脑室旁核、弓状核、杏仁内侧核、迷走神经背核、孤束核、延髓最后区和胸腰段脊髓背角c-Fos均有表达;胃、十二指肠、空肠和近端结肠肠神经丛的c-Fos有不同程度的表达,其中以胃和近端结肠的c-Fos表达最为显著。应用ghrelin受体拮抗剂(D-Lys3)GHRP-6可抑制ghrelin激活的c-Fos表达。结论 Ghrelin可促进小肠转运,其促动力作用由其受体GHS-R所介导;静脉给予ghrelin可通过肠神经系统和中枢神经系统调节小肠运动。     

Comparative study on ghrelin level change and its related factors in hypertensive elders with psychological distress

Objective To investigate the change of plasma ghrelin level and explore the related factors of ghrelin alteration in elderly hypertensive patients with psychological distress. Methods A total of 300 elders, who were screened with Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD), and the Symptom Checklist-90 (SCL-90) for psychological stress and somato-psychological manifestations respectively, were divided into hypertension group (n=148) and non-hypertension group (n=152). Their blood samples were collected to measure the plasma level of ghrelin and total cortisol on the same day. Results The incidences of anxiety and depression were 27.7% and 11.7%, respectively, in all the enrolled elders. However, the rates of psychological distress, particularly anxiety, were significantly higher in the hypertensive elders than in the non-hypertensive ones (43.2% vs. 12.5%). Anxiety was positively related to the cortisol level but negatively related to the plasma ghrelin level, and the latter two were negatively correlated with each other. Conclusion Chronic increase of plasma cortisol induced by long-term anxiety can lead to the reduction of ghrelin level, which then adversely affects blood pressure in elders with psychological distress. Therefore, ghrelin might be a selective antihypertensive medicine for hypertensive elders with anxiety.     

Ghrelin对CKD大鼠十二指肠消化间期移行性复合运动和Bcl-2/Bax表达的影响

目的 观察ghrelin对慢性肾功能不全(CKD)大鼠十二指肠消化间期移行性复合运动变化和Bcl-2/Bax表达的影响.方法 SD大鼠18只,体重(180±20)g,雌雄不拘,随机分为对照组(CKD+生理盐水)、ghrelin 1组(CKD+ghrelin 10μg/kg)和ghrelin 2组(CKD+ghrelin...     

精神分裂症患者ghrelin基因多态性与利培酮治疗前后患者体重和血脂变化的关系

目的观察利培酮治疗前后精神分裂症患者体重和血脂的变化及ghrelin(生长索)基因Leu72 Met(亮氨酸72蛋氨酸)多态性与体重和血脂变化的关系。方法对66例精神分裂症患者单用利培酮治疗10周,分别在治疗前和治疗后每2周测量身高、体重和腹围;在治疗前和治疗4、10周时检测血脂;PCR-RFLP(聚合酶链式反应-限制性片段长度多态性)技术检测ghrelin基因Leu72Met多态性。结果利培酮治疗期间,精神分裂症患者体重和血脂指标均有显著性增加(P<0.01)。体重和血脂指标的变化与ghrelin基因多态性无关(P>0.05)。结论精神分裂症患者利培酮治疗有体重和血脂水平的升高;Ghrelin基因Leu72 Met多态性和患者的体重和血脂升高无关。
