  • 유선 조직에서 베타-락토글로불린 유전자의 발현은 프롤락틴, 글루코코르티코이드 및 인슐린등의 유촉진 호르몬들에 의해서 강력하게 유도된다. 이와 같은 호르몬 유도의 조절 기작을 규명하기 위하여, 배양 유선 세포인 HC11 세포에서 염소 베타-락토글로불린 유전자 프로모터의 유촉진 호르몬에 대한 반응을 분석하였다. 베타-락토글로불린 프로모터의 5'- 조절 부위를 연쇄적으로 제거한 발현 실험에서 호르몬 유도를 크게 변화 시키는 두 지역이 관찰되었다. 조절 부위의 -1692의 상류지역은 하류 프로모터를 강력하게 활성화 시키는 부위로, 주로 글루코코르티코이드 유도체인 덱사메타손의 작용을 매개하였다. 그러나 두번째 지역의 유도 작용은 인슐린 처리를 병행하지 않을 경우 상류 조절부위에 의해 억제되었다. 이러한 결과는, 유선세포에서 유촉진 호르몬들에 의한 베타-락토글로불린 프로모터 활성 유도가 인슐린에 의한 탈 억제화와 글루코코르티코이드 및 프롤락틴에 의한 활성화의 복합 조절에 의해서 이루어질 것이라는 점을 시사한다. 두번째 지역에 의한 덱사메타손 유도는 -700 부근의 글루코코르티코이드 수용체 결합 부위에 의해서 매개되는 것으로 추정된다.

  • Lymphangioleiomyomatosis is a rare disease which afflicts young women of childbearing age. We experienced a 32-year-old female who was admitted because of worsening exertional dyspnea after hormonal therapy with Clomifen for five months and intermittent hemoptysis. Chest PA showed diffuse ground glass appearance with some reticular infiltrations. High resolution CT scan showed multiple small thin walled cysts distributed homogeneously throughout the entire lung. Pulmonary function test showed characteristic obstructive pattern despite the restrictive interstitial pattern of chest radiography. Thoracoscopic lung biopsy specimen showed abnormal proliferation of smooth muscle cells in the walls of lymphatic vessels, bronchioles, and pulmonary vessels typical of pulmonary lymphangioleiomyomatosis. Hormonal therapy with medroxyprogesterone was initiated.

  • Objective: Letrozole, a potent aromatase inhibitor, is known to have the potential to modify male reproductive function by altering sex hormone levels. This study aimed to evaluate the semen and testicular characteristics and hormonal profile of aged Mrakhoz bucks (Capra hircus) treated with letrozole. Methods: Twelve Markhoz male goats, aged between 4.5 to 5.5 years with an average body weight (BW) of 61.05±4.97 kg were used for the study. Animals were randomly divided into two equal groups and subcutaneously received either 0.25 mg/kg BW of letrozole or a control every week for 2 months. The semen collections were performed every 10 days, and blood samples and testicular biometric records were collected at 20 days intervals. Results: Letrozole causes increased testosterone and follicle-stimulating hormone levels, testosterone to estradiol ratio, semen index and reaction time during the period from 20th to 60th days (p<0.05). Furthermore, letrozole-treated bucks had higher semen volume, sperm concentration, and total sperm per ejaculate from 30th to 60th days (p<0.05). However, no differences occurred between the groups in scrotal circumference, relative testicular volume, semen pH, abnormality, acrosome integrity, and membrane integrity of sperm during the study (p>0.05). The serum luteinizing hormone levels, sperm viability, motility, and progressive motility increased, and estradiol levels decreased after 40th to 60th days of letrozole treatment (p<0.05). Conclusion: Letrozole application to aged Markhoz bucks provokes reproductive hormonal axis which, in turn, induces enhancement of semen production and quality.

  • To investigate changes of estrus signs and genital organs in the bitch by hormonal induction of estrus, fourteen bitches of nulliparous and multiparous(2nd-5th) were grouped into diestrus and anestrus according to their estrus cycle. The hormonal treatments were divided into four groups: group A($PGF_2{\alpha}+PMSG+hCG$) and group B(PMSG+hCG) in diestrus bitches and group C(GnRH+FSH+hCG) and group D(PMSG+hCG) in anestrus bitches. The external signs of proestrus and estrus as well as the vaginal smear findings and natural breeding as estrus detection were investigated in all the experimental groups. Also, genital organs were examined at two months after the hormone treatment. The bitches in anestrus showed 100% of male attraction, vaginal bleeding and vulvar swelling as proestrus signs after the hormonal treatment for estrus induction and they showed higher numerical value of signs than the bitches in diestrus. The group A showed the lowest value in proestrous signs of all the groups. The bitches in anestrus treated with GnRH+FSH showed 100% of positive estrus by vaginal smear findings and 75% of natural breeding as estrus detection index and these values were the highest of all the groups. Pregnancy was recognized in only group C and the conception rate was 7.14% in al the experimental animals. Of the side effects after the hormone treatment, external findings of continous male attraction, continous external swelling and purulent exudate were recognized in all the experimental groups and the bitches in diestrus showed higher value of the findings than the bitches in anestrus. Of the changes of genital organs after the hormone treatment, hypertrophy of uterine horn, sanguineous exudate and purulent exudate as uterine findings were recognized in all the groups and these findings were shown more in the bitches in diestrus than in those in anestrus. These results indicated that group C showed the highest value of all the experimental groups in external signs of estrus and estrus detection and also pregnancy was recognized only in that group, consequently, that the hormonal treatment of group C would be the most effective for estrus induction, and also indicated that bitches in anestrus were more suitable than bitches in diestrus for the induction of estrus. In addition, side effects in external genital organs and uteri after hormone treatment were shown more in the bitches in diestrus than in those in anestrus, indicating that bitches in anestrus would be of choice for estrus induction.

  • The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of various exercise intensity on Resting Metabolic Rate (RMR), excess post exercise energy expenditure (EPEE), and thyroid hormonal changes in trained (TR) and untrained (UT) people. The subject of the present study were divided into two groups and four periods: trained (TR; n=6) and untrained (UT; n=6) group. And the periods were divided as follows; Resting (R), Maximal (M), High intensity (H), and Low intensity (L). The percent body fat and RMR of all subjects were measured at every periods. The RMR was measured early in the morning following a 12-hour fast using MMX3B gas analyzer and blood sample were collected from the anticubital vein to investigate thyroid hormonal (T3, T4, Free T3, Free T4, & TSH) changes. All the RMR values were expressed as absolute value/BSA $(kcal/d/m^2)$. And We also analyzed mean energy expenditure for 30 minutes during and after different intensity exercise. There was significant difference in RMR among different intensity of exercise. in TR (p < .05) not in the UT group. however, there was no significant different percent body fat in TR and in UT group. In the energy expenditure, there was significant different between TR and UT in HEE (high intensity exercise energy expenditure), LEE (low intensity exercise energy expenditure), HEEPE (high intensity exercise energy expenditure post exercise) & LEEPE (low intensity exercise expenditure post exercise). In the hormonal level, there was significant different in T4 level in the TR group at H period and in T4, Free T3, & Free T4 levels in TR group at L period, however there was no significant different in the UT group. The present cross-sectional study was design to investigate the relationship between exercise intensity and RMR. The focus of this investigation was to compare RMR in aerobically trained (TR) and untrained (VI). The relationship among RMR, exercise intensity and percent body fat would best be investigated using MMX3B and body composition analyzer. Each subject completed measurement of percent body fat, RMR, hormone in the period of maximal oxygen uptake exercise (M), high intensity exercise (H), and low intensity exercise (L). From the results, Low intensity of exercise (L), there was a trend for an increased RMR (kcal/day) in the TR not for the UT. This is best explained not by the reduced percent body fat but by the highly induced energy expenditure (during exercise and post exercise energy expenditure) and increased T4, Free T3, and Free T4 hormonal levels in the low intensity exercise for the TR group.

  • In an attempt to evaluate the various serum hormonal changes in terminal renal failure, the fasting $T_4,\;T_3,\;rT_3$, gastrin, secretin prolactin, and aldosterone were measured by radioimmunoassay in 12 patients with chronic renal failure, who were admitted to Chosun University Hospital from January to June, 1981. From the analysis the following results were obtained. 1. Mean values of serum hormonal concentration in 10 normal control were as follows: $T_4,\;12.93{\pm}2.00ug/ml$; $T_3,\;113.0{\pm}28.7ng/ml$; $rT_3,\;0.11{\pm}0.10ng/ml$; gastrin, $100.0{\pm}47.1pg/ml$; secretin, $32.46{\pm}11.45pg/ml$; prolactin, $11.0{\pm}3.6ng/ml$; aldosterone, $137.0{\pm}58.5pg/ml$, 2. Mean values of serum hormonal concentration in 12 chronic renal failure were as follows: $T_4,\;7.34{\pm}2.43ug/ml$; $T_3,\;71.0{\pm}19.1ng/ml$; reverse $T_3,\;0.38{\pm}0.19ng/ml$; gastrin, $162.5{\pm}40.2pg/ml$; secretin, $107.50{\pm}20.48pg/ml$; prolactin, $34.0{\pm}17.2ng/ml$; Aldosterone, $86.5{\pm}19.8pg/ml$. 3. In chronic renal failure group, serum T 4, T 3 and adosterone level were significantly lower than those of the control group, but serum $rT_3$, gastrin, secretin and prolactin were significantly higher than those of the control group. 4. In the view of the correlation between serum hormonal concentions and serum creatinine levels in patients with chronic renal failure, $rT_3$, gastrin, secretin and prolactin showed increasing tendency(positive correlations), whereas $T_4,\;T_3$ and aldosterone showed decreasing tendency (negative correlations) with increment of serum cteatinine levels. And so, we observed the negative correlation between $T_3\;and\;rT_3$.
