Abstract

Though relatively little is known of the physiology involved, there is reduced kidney activity during hibernation. In this experimental study, male Korean chipmunks (Tamias sibiricus barberi) were maintained in cold conditions ($6^{\circ}C$) for 9 months, in an attempt to mimic conditions occurring during seasonal hibernation. The examination was made to determine changes of glycoconjugates on the kidney after hibernation by lectin histochemistry. The changes of lectin affinities in the kidney categorize into three groups: a) increase ones only in the early hibernation stage b) increase ones during hibernation and c) decrease ones during hibernation. The transient increase of Con A affinity in the proximal convoluted tubules were demonstrated only in the early cold-treated stage, and PNA and Con A in the distal convoluted tubules and DBA and sWGA in the collecting tubules. SBA affinity tended to increase with hibernation in the proximal convoluted tubules, but sWGA affinities were significantly decreased in the all tubule examined with hibernation. The present results suggest that the glycosylation pattern of the kidney undergoes profound changes during hibernation, and is probably associated with transiently reduced renal function.

한국산 다람쥐를 단계적으로 $6^{\circ}C$ 온도로 낮추어 인위적 동면을 유도하였다. 동면은 3개월부터 유도되었으며 9개월간 사육하였다. 동면중 급격한 생리적 변화에 따른 형태 및 복합당질의 변화를 관찰하였다. 형태적으로 동면초기 응축된 사구체 구조와 발견되는 것외 동면중에도 유사한 신장 구조를 나타내었다. Lectin조직화학에 대한 반응은 크게 동면초기에 일시적으로 증가하는 반응군, 동면진행에 따라 증가하는 반응군 및 감소하는 반응군으로 대별할 수 있다. 동면초기에 일시적으로 증가하는 반응은 근위곡요세관의 Con A, 원위곡요세관의 PNA, Con A, 집합관의 DBA, sWGA가 현저하였다. 동면이 진행됨에 따라 현저히 증가하는 반응은 원위곡요세관의 SBA반응이었으며, 감소하는 반응은 모든 세관의 sWGA반응이었다. 유사한 형태적 구조를 가지나 다양한 lectin반응의 변화는 동면중 나타나는 급격한 신장 생리 변화와 연관성이 있는 것으로 유추되며, 이러한 반응성은 동면 중 신장 기능 변화에 대한 마크로 유용할 것이다.
