  • This study was to see if pregnant rats fed a pantothenic acid(PA) deficient diet for whole 3 weeks gestation would produce pups comparable to the normal controls, at the cost of maternal tissue PA concentration ([PA]) or coenzyme A content ([Co A]). Compared to the controls, dams fed a PA deficient diet tended to decrease weight gain, and produced pups with lower body, liver and brain weight (p<0.05). Postpartum dam's blood [PA] decreased more in PA deficient group than control (p<0.05, PA deficient : 2.52$\pm$0.66 to 0.77$\pm$0.23uM, control : 2.58$\pm$0.52 to 1.45$\pm$0.68uM), although Hb concentration did not differ between two groups. Pup's blood [PA] at birth was lower in PA deficient group than control group(1.75$\pm$0.27uM vs. 3.90$\pm$0.76uM, respectively, p<0.05) and 2-3 times that of postpartum dams in both two groups. [Co A] and [PA] in pup's tissues were 23-68% of dams in both groups, in spite of the higher [PA] in pups. These data suggest that Co A metabolism differs between pups and dams ; the pups were more adversely affected than dams by the dietary PA deficiency of dams during gestation.

  • Plasminogen activator (PA)-plasmin system in follicular fluid is involved in the process leading to follicular rupture at ovulation. It is well known that PA is closely associated with cellular differentiation and tissue remodeling on evidences from the study of normal and malignant tissues. This study was designed to ascertain a potential role of PA in the ovarian folliculogenesis. Immature Sprague-Dawley rats were injected with pregnant mare serum gonadotropin, followed by injection of serine protease inhibitor (SPI; mixture of 1 mol/L benzamidine and 1 mol/L amino-caproic acid) into the unilateral ovarian bursa. In the control study, mechanical effect of bursal injection and contralateral ovarian effect SPI were ruled out. Total antral follicular areas relative to total ovarian cross-sectional areas was siginificantly lower in SPI-injected ovary than in saline-injected ovary. SPI injection decreased the relative antral follicular area by 33 % respectively. Electron microscopic finding of granulosa cell in the atretic follicle showed the presence of pyknotic nucleus, blurring of neucleolemma, degeneration of mitochondria and dilation of endoplasmic reticulum. After induction of ovulation with hCG, the number of oocytes released was significantly decreased in SPI-injected oviduct than in saline-injected oviduct. From above results, author discussed that PA may play a role not only in ovulation but also in some processes of folliculogenesis.

  • The distribution of radiophosphorus ($^{32}P$) was observed in three groups of female Albino tat consisted of early pregnancy group (10 days of pregnancy), late pregnancy group (18 days of pregnancy) and nonpregnanted control group. The results obtained were as follows: 1. The various sites arranged in the descending of absorption rate of $^{32}P$ were femur, mandible, liver, spleen, ovary, fetus (only from early pregnancy group) and kidney in both groups of non-pregnanted and early pregnancy and femur, mandible, fetus, liver, ovary, spleen and kidney in the late pregnancy group. 2. The significant difference (P<0.05) in the absorption rate was found between femur and mandible in the early pregnancy group. 3. The absorption rate of fetus from late pregnancy group was significantly (P<0.01) higher than that of fetus from the early pregnancy group. 4. The high absorption rate was observed with femur and mandible in both groups of non-pregnanted and early pregnancy. 5. The significantly (P<0.01) high absorption rate was observed with ovary and fetus from the late pregnancy group.

  • The purpose of this study was attempted to investigate the number changes of the growing and mature follicles in ovary following repeats of pregnant mare serum gonadotropin(PMSG) treatments for superovulation in nulliparous rats. Thirty two rats(Sprague-Dawely, about 200~250 gm) were randomized into 4 groups. Control group rats were sacrified at estrus phase confirmed by vaginal smear. PMSG-treated group 1 rats, PMSG-treated group 2 rats and PMSG-treated group 3 rats were sacrified at 48 hrs after injection once with PMSG 25 IU, after 2 repeated injection by a week interval, and 3 repeated injection, respectively. The uteri and ovaries of rats were removed and weighed and then were observed grossly and serial sections of all ovaries and some sections of uteri by paraffin embedding were stained with H-E. Number of ovarian follicles about 3 grades of small, middle and large follicles from seondary and follicles were investigated by LM photographies of ovary preparations. The criteria of the small, middle, and large follicles were based as small follicle with preantral follicles with 2~4 layers of granulosa cells surrounding the oocyte, as secondary follicles with more than 5 layers of granulosa cells and early signs of antral cavity or with small clefts on either side of the oocytes, and as tirtiary follicles with a single medium sized antral cavity or large well-formed antral cavity, respectively. In gross findings, the wall of the uteri in control group were thin, and those in 3 PMS-treated group were markedly thickened and some uterine lumen of those filled with fluid. In histological findings, the walls of the uteri from 3 PMSG-treated groups were hypertrophied and their blood and lymph vessels were dilated than those of control group. The ovaries fo 3 PMSG-treated groups were more increased in size and the cortexes were more developed and increased in width but there are no difference of development and changes in 3 PMSG-treated groups. The weight of the uteri and ovaries per rat in PMSG -treated group 1, 2 and 3 were a, pp.ared to be significantly increased 171.4$\pm$47.6%, 162.3$\pm$43.9%, 206.9$\pm$30.4%, respectively than those of control groups. The mean number of follicle per ovary in control group were a, pp.ared to be 17.1$\pm$3.5, 46.2$\pm$14.5, and 74.3$\pm$22.7 at large, middle and small follicles, respectively and total number of these 3 grade follicles per ovary were a, pp.ared to be 137.7$\pm$31.7. The mean number of follicle per ovary in PMSG-treated group 1 were a, pp.ared to be 25.6$\pm$7.3, 78.1$\pm$29.9, and 83.2$\pm$34.0, at large, middle and small follicles, respectively and total number of these 3 grade follicles were a, pp.ared to be 187.5$\pm$58.8. The mean number of follicle per ovary in PMS-treated group 2 were a, pp.ared to be 21.9$\pm$5.2, 67.8$\pm$16.8, and 68.0$\pm$14.9 at large, middle and small follicles, respectively and total number of these 3 grade follicles were a, pp.ared to be 157.7$\pm$26.2. The mean number of follicle per ovary in PMS-treated group 3 were a, pp.ared to be 21.7$\pm$4.8, 61.5$\pm$17.0, and 59.7$\pm$16.2 at large, middle and small follicles, respectively and total number of these 3 grade follicles were a, pp.ared to be 143.5$\pm$29.6. The number of follicles in PMSG-treated group 1 a, pp.ared to be more number than other 2 PMSG-treated gruops and tended to be decreased by frequency of PMSG-treatment.

  • 클로미펜 시트레이트가 배란반응, 난자의 형태, 난소 스테로이드 생성 및 수정란 발육에 미치는 영향을 PMSG 처리한 랫드에서 조사하였다. 먼저 세가지 용량(0.05mg, 0.1mg 및 1.0mg)의 클로미펜 시트레이트 또는 부형제를 미성숙의 Sprague Dawley 암컷에 일령 25일부터 27일까지 3일간 투여하였다. 그후 28일령에 이들 모든 암쥐에게 4IU PMSG를, 30일령에는 1.0mg 클로미펜 시트레이트가 처치된 일부의 암쥐에게 10IU hCG를 추가로 투여하였고, 31일령에 모두 도살하였다. 한편 4IU PMSG와 더불어 0.1mg클로미펜 시트레이트 또는 부형제를 투여한 일부의 암쥐는 숫쥐와 교미시킨 다음 임신 2일부터 5일까지 매일 도살하였다. 클로미펜 시트레이트의 용량을 증가시킴에 따라 배란반응(배란율 및 평균 배란난자의 수)과 난소중량이 대조군에 비하여 현저히 감소하였고 반면 배란난자의 변성율(%)은 그 용량에 비례하여 증가하였다. 클로미펜 시트레이트에 의한 배란반응 및 난소중량의 억제적 반응은 10IU hCG 추가투여에 의하여 완전히 대조군 수준으로 회복되었다. 그리고 클로미펜 시트레이트의 투여용량의 증가는 프로제스테론과 안드로젠의 혈장치 감소와 더불어 에스트라디올의 혈장치를 현저하게 증가시켰다. hCG의 추가투여는 이러한 클로미펜 시트레이트 작용에 의해 증가된 에스트라디올치를 현저하게 감소시키고 감소된 프로제스테론치를 증가시키는데 효과적이었다. 0.1mg의 클로미펜 시트레이트를 투여한 임신 랫드로부터 회수한 수정란은 전기간에 걸쳐 그 변성율(%)의 현저한 증가와 아울러 특히 임신 3일부터 그 수가 유의성있게 감소하였다. 클로미펜 시트레이트 투여에 의한 수정란의 난분할 속도도 임신 3일부터 대조군에 비하여 현저하게 지연되었으며 아울러 회수된 수정란의 난분할율(%)도 전기간에 걸처 대조군보다 지속적으로 저하되었다. 위의 결과는 흰쥐에 있어서의 클로미펜 시트레이트 투여에 의한 배란억제반응과 아울러 그 작용기전에 성선자극호르몬의 분비억제 또는 차단작용이 포함됨을 증명하였고 이 약제의 투여에 의한 난자의 형태적 정상성과 수정란발육에 대한 유해효과는 수정이전 시기에 있어서의 난소스테로이드 생성 특히 에스트라디올의 증가에 기인함을 제시한다.

  • 본 연구의 목적은 임신 초기 자궁 조직중의 cyclic nucleotide 의 변화 및 PAF 가 이들에 미치는 영향을 관찰함으로써 PAF 가 흰쥐의 초기 임신에 어떻게 관련하는지를 조사하기 위함이다. 시험구로써 임신 각 일에 $1{\mu}g$ 의 PAF 혹은 이것의 수용체 길항제인 1.25mg의 BN-52021이 근육내 조사되었고 비 임신구 및 대조구에 대하여는 PBS만이 주사되었다. 자궁 조직중의 cAMP 및 cGMP 농도는 분석용 test kit를 사용하여 분석되었다. 비 임신구 경우 자궁 조직중 cAMP 농도는 단백질 mg 당 $2.91{\pm}0.33$ pmol로서 임신 보다도 낮았고 cGMP 농도 또한 $0.39{\pm}0.20$ pmol로서 임신구보다 낮은 경향이 었다. 자궁 조직중 cAMP 의 최고농도는 임신 3일째 ($5.92{\pm}1.72$ pmol/mg protein) 였고 cGMP 경우는 임신 4일째($1.03{\pm}0.22$ pmol/mg protein) 이었다. 임신 각일에 PAF 는 PAF 처리하지 아니한 대조구에 비하여 증가된 cAMP 를 보여주었으나(임신 0, 2, 그리고 4 일째 경우 p<0.05) BN-52021은 감소된 경향을 나타내었다. cGMP에 대하여는 PAF나 BN-52021 공히 일정한 효과적 경향을 보이지 아니하였다. 따라서, 임신은 자궁 조직중 cyclic nucleotide에 영향을 미칠 수 있으며 흰쥐의 착상기동안 PAF는 cGMP에 대하여 보다는 cAMP에 영향을 미침으로써 착상에 관련된 일련의 반응에 영향을 미칠 것으로 사료된다.

  • 본 연구에서는 DHA가 뇌에 미치는 영향을 알아보는 방법으로 시간과 동물의 수를 줄일 수 있는 장점을 지난 인공 사육 동물 시스템의 활용을 위한 전 단계 실험으로 엄마 쥐의 식이 섭취기간이 신생 쥐의 뇌 및 위 내용물의 지방산 조성에 미치는 영향에 대해 검토해 보았다. 출생 직후 신생 쥐들의 위 내용물의 지방산 조성의 경우, 임신동물을 사용한 군(Pregnancy group)의 경우, 임신전 단계 사육 방법으로 사육한 군(Pre-pregnancy group)에 비하여 20:2n-6 함량은 낮았고 20:3n-6, 20:4n-6 및 총 n-6 지방산의 경우는 높은 함량을 보였다. DHA 함량의 경우, 임신동물의 신생 쥐의 위 내용물에서 25% 높게 나타났다(P<0.05). 신생 쥐들이 생후 10일 경과되었을 때, 22:4n-6 및 22:6n-3의 경우 임신동물을 사용한 군에서 각각 8% 및 8%로 낮았으나 유의적 차이는 없었다. 출생 직후 뇌의 지방산 조성을 비교해 본 결과, 총 포화 지방산과 총 monounsaturated 지방산의 경우, 임신동물을 사용한 군(Pregnancy group)에서 그 함량이 유의적으로 높았고 20:5n-3의 함량은 26%로 감소하였다(P<0.05). 나머지 지방산 함량에는 두 간에 유의적 차이를 관찰 할 수가 없었다. 신생 쥐들이 생후 10일이 되었을 때, 총 포화지방산의 함량에는 차이가 없었으나 총 monounsaturated의 경우, 임신동물을 사용한 군에서 감소하고 20:4n-6와 22:6n-3의 함량은 유의적으로 높았으나 20:5n-3의 함량은 47%로 감소하였다(P<0.05). 이들 신생 쥐들이 수유기간이 끝나는 생후 21일이 되었을 때, 지방산 함량에 있어서 두 군간에 유의적 차이를 살펴 볼 수가 없었다. 이상의 결과에서 알 수 있듯이 임신 전 단계 군에 비하여 뇌 및 위 내용물의 DHA 및 기타 n-3 지방산의 함량이 높았으나 이유기의 뇌의 지방산 조성에는 변화가 없었다. 이러한 결과는 임신 동물을 사용한 군의 경우 임신 전 사료에 DHA가 함유된 사료를 섭취한 결과에 기인하는 것으로 여겨지며 이러한 특정 상황을 고려해 볼 때 향후 인공 사육 시스템을 이용할 경우 지방산의 조성의 차이는 미미한 것으로 사료되며 뇌의 DHA 결핍 동물 생성을 위한 실험계에 임신동물 활용이 가능하다고 사료되어진다.

  • Objectives : The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of bisphenol A (BPA), an estrogen-like environmental endocrine disrupter, on the placental function and reproduction in rats. The mRNA levels of the placental prolactin-growth hormone(PRL-GH) gene family, placental trophoblast cell frequency and reproductive data were analyzed. Methods : The pregnancies of F344 Fisher rats ($160g{\pm}20g$) were detected by the presence of the copulatory plug or sperm in the vaginal smear, which marked Day 0 of pregnancy. Pregnant rats were divided into three groups. The control group was intraperitoneally injected with a sesame oil vehicle. The two remaining groups were injected with 50 or 500 mg/kg B.W/day of BPA, resuspended in sesame oil, on either days 7 to 11 or 16 to 20 of pregnancy, with the rats sacrificed on either day 11 or 20, respectively. The mRNA levels of PRL-GH and Pit-1a and b isotype genes were analyzed by Northern blot hybridization and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. The hormone concentrations were analyzed by radioimmunoassay, and the frequency of the placental trophoblast cells observed by a histochemical study. Reproductive data, such as the placental weight and litter size, were surveyed on day 20. The fetal weight was surveyed for 4 weeks after birth. A statistical analysis was carried out using the SAS program (version 8.1). Results : The mRNA levels of the PRL-GH gene family, such as placental lactogen I, Iv and II, prolactin like protein A, C and Cv, and decidual prolactin-related protein were significantly reduced due to BPA exposure. The mRNA levels of the Pit-1a and b isotype genes, which induce the expression of the PRL-GH gene family in the rat placenta, were also reduced due to BPA exposure. The PL-Iv and PL-II concentrations were reduced in the BPA exposed group. During the middle to last stage of pregnancy (Days 11-20), a high dose of BPA exposure reduced the frequency of spongiotrophoblast cells, which are responsible for the secretion of the PRL-GH hormones. Reproductive data, such as the placental and fetal weights and the litter size, were reduced, but that of the pregnancy period was extended in the BPA exposed compared to the control group. Conclusions : BPA disrupts the placental functions in rats, which leads to reproductive disorders.

  • Objectives : This study aimed to investigate the toxic effects of chromium (VI) on the placental function and reproduction in rats. For the study, the placental prolactin-growth hormone (PRL-GH) gene expression, placental trophoblast cell differentiation and reproductive data were analyzed. Methods : The pregnancies of F344 Fisher rats were checked by the presence of a copulatory plug or sperm in the vaginal smear, which was defined as day 0 of the pregnancy. Pregnant rats were divided into the three groups. The control group was given tap water (chromium level < 0.001 ppm) and the remaining groups were given 250 or 750 ppm of chromium (VI) [as potassium dichromate], from day 7 to 19 of the pregnancy. Rats were sacrificed at days 11 and 20 of pregnancy. The mRNA levels of PRL-GH and Pit-1a and b isotype genes were analyzed by Northern blot hybridization and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The hormonal concentration was analyzed by radioimmunoassay, and the differentiation of placental trophoblast cells were observed by histochemical studies. Reproductive data, such as placental and fetal weights, pregnancy period, and litter size, were surveyed at day 20 of pregnancy and after birth. A statistical analysis was carried out using the SAS program (version 8.1). Results : The mRNA levels of the prolactin-growth hormone (PRL-GH) family of genes were dose dependently reduced by chromium exposure. The mRNA levels of Pit-1a and b isotype genes that induce the expression of the PRL-GH family of genes were also reduced by chromium exposure. The PRL-GH hormonal concentration in the rat placenta, fetus and maternal blood were decreased by chromium exposure. In the middle stage of pregnancy (day 11), a high dose of chromium suppressed the differentiation of spongiotrophoblast cells that secret the PRLGH hormones. In the last stage of pregnancy (day 20), a high dose of chromium induced apoptosis of placental cells. Reproductive data, such as placental and fetal weights, litter size, were reduced, but the pregnancy period was extended in the group exposed to chromium compared with the controls. Conclusion : Chromium (VI) disrupts the ordered functions of the placenta, which leads to reproductive disorders in rats.

  • 임신중기에서 발기에 이르는 흰쥐의 태반에서 Placental Lactogen I (PL-I), II 그리고 Pit-1 의 유전자 발현 변화를 Northern blot hybridization으로 조사하였다. 그 결과, 임신시기에 따라 PL-I과 PL-II의 mRNA 양과 크기에 변화가 나타났다. 이들 유전자 발현에 미치는 에스트로겐의 영향을 조사하기 위하여, 임신 14일째 쥐의 난소를 제거하고(OVX), 이후 매일 에스트로겐을 투여한 후 (OVX+E), 임신 18일째 태반을 회수하여 PL-I, II 그리고 Pit-1의 유전자 발현을 Northern blot hybridization으로 조사하였다. OVX 군의 경우, PL-I의 mRNA 크기는 1 kb에서 1.3 kb로 PL-II의 mRNA는 0.6kb에서 1 kb로 변화하였다. OVX+E 군에서는 PL-I과 PL-II의 mRNA가 정상대조군과 같은 상태로 환원하였다. 정상대조군에 비하여 OVX와 OVX+E 군에서 PL-I과 PL-II의 mRNA 크기에는 영향을 미치지 못한 반면, mRNA 양은 난소제거시 감소하였다가, 에스트로겐을 투여하면, 부분적으로 회복되는 경향을 보였다. 이러한 본 실험의결과는 에스트로겐이 PL-I과 PL-II의 RNA splicing이나 polyadenylation 등을 포함한 유전자 발현에 영향을 미치며, Pit-1이 이 과정에 개입하는 것을 시사하는 것이다.
