The growth data was evaluated according to Parks 'theory of feeding an growth. At the end of the poisoning period, the calcium metabolism was studied through a balance of calcium and the determination of bone Ca++ accretion and resorption rates with the aid of 45Ca++. The parathyroid glands function was studied using an indirect method. Treated rats showed a significant decrease in asymptotic weights and in the initial efficiency of food conversion into biomass regarding controls. No differences were observed in food intake between both group. Aluminum affected neither the peak growth rate nor the time necessary to attain maturity. The calcium balance in treated rats was significantly less than in the control group. This was accompanied by a significant increase in the calcium excreted by faces, caused perhaps by a less intestinal absorption. An important amount of aluminum on the surface of the trabecular bone and a reduction in the skeletal Ca++ mass, was observed in all treated rats. Nevertheless there are no differences in the latter when expressed for 100 g of body weight. The rate of skeletal Ca++ accretion was found to be significantly decreased in treated group with respect to controls, without any changes in the bone Ca resorption rate. The reduction in bone turnover revealed by the decrease of Vo+/Vo- was accompanied by less recovery velocity of calcemia in the aluminum treated group, being indirectly related to the parathyroid gland response to calcium depletion. In the model that we studied the decreased bone turnover could have been caused by deposits of aluminum in bone; however there could exist associated factors such as dysfunction in the secretion of PTH, or less affinity between its receptors at the bone level.</p>","PeriodicalId":7148,"journal":{"name":"Acta physiologica, pharmacologica et therapeutica latinoamericana : organo de la Asociacion Latinoamericana de Ciencias Fisiologicas y [de] la Asociacion Latinoamericana de Farmacologia","volume":"48 1","pages":"32-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20427634","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such stimulation could activate central sympathetic outflow to the heart. To test this hypothesis, we investigated whether pretreatment with isoproterenol, known to induce cardiac beta-adrenoceptor desensitization, could reduce bromocriptine-induced tachycardia. A 5 day pretreatment with isoproterenol (5 mg/kg/day) induced a 21% increase in the ratio of ventricular dry weight to body weight, compared with saline-pretreated rats. In isolated perfused heart preparations from isoproterenol-pretreated rats, the isoproterenol-induced increase in left ventricular systolic pressure and heart rate was significantly reduced, compared with saline-pretreated rats (the isoproterenol concentration producing 50% of the maximal positive inotropic and chronotropic responses was increased approximately 5- and 4-fold, respectively). In conscious control rats, intravenous injection of bromocriptine (50, 150 and 250 micrograms/kg) decreased mean aortic pressure and increased heart rate in a dose-related manner. Pretreatment with isoproterenol for 5 days reduced bromocriptine-induced tachycardia without affecting hypotension. Cardiac autonomic tone remained of the same order of magnitude irrespective of whether the animal was pretreated with isoproterenol. These results indicate that isoproterenol pretreatment reduces bromocriptine-induced tachycardia mainly through desensitization of cardiac beta-adrenoceptors rather than via an impairment of autonomic regulation of the heart. This supports the hypothesis that bromocriptine-induced activation of central dopamine D2 receptors increases heart rate via activation of central sympathetic outflow to the heart.</p>","PeriodicalId":7148,"journal":{"name":"Acta physiologica, pharmacologica et therapeutica latinoamericana : organo de la Asociacion Latinoamericana de Ciencias Fisiologicas y [de] la Asociacion Latinoamericana de Farmacologia","volume":"48 3","pages":"165-74"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20690365","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previously, we have shown that Testosterone enhances erythropoiesis, at least in part, by increasing renal erythropoietin production. Testosterone may also influence directly the behavior of the erythroid progenitor cells increasing erythroid stem cell proliferation. To gain further insight into the role of testosterone in regulation of erythropoiesis and its interactions with erythropoietin, we studied the effect of testosterone and erythropoietin, using clonal cultures of erythropietic progenitors, to observe CFU-E and late and early BFU-E colonies proliferation from bone marrow cells of donor rats pretreated for 2 days with the androgen antagonists cyproterone (10 mg/kg/day) and flutamide (160 mg/kg/day). Specific nuclear receptors for testosterone were demonstrated in marrow erythroid cells. Then, erythroid progenitors may come with their androgen receptors blocked by pretreatment. Cultures were prepared using the methylcellulose technique containing a standard dose of erythropoietin (250 mU/ml) or testosterone (10(-7)M). Results obtained demonstrate that testosterone produced a significant stimulation on CFU-E and BFU-E colony formation. A dose effect correlation was apparent. Testosterone enhances proliferation of late BFU-E more than CFU-E and produce only a slight augmentation of early BFU-E. As expected, erythropoietin markedly stimulate all erythroid colony growth, mainly CFU-E. The effects of testosterone were completely abolished in cultures from bone marrow cells of rats pretreated with cyproterone and flutamide. Activation of the specific androgen nuclear receptors in erythroid cells appears to be necessary for testosterone to develop the erythropoietic effect. Surprisingly, the effects of erythropoietin on erythroid colonies proliferation were also completely blocked by pretreatment with flutamide and partially blocked by pretreatment with cyproterone. Right now, we do not have a satisfactory explanation regarding inhibition of the effects of erythropoietin by pretreatment to marrow donor rats with the androgen antagonists. In conclusion, we postulate triggering late BFU-E cells, a marrow erythropoietin responsive cell population, into active cell cycle, as well as by increasing blood erythropoietin concentration.</p>","PeriodicalId":7148,"journal":{"name":"Acta physiologica, pharmacologica et therapeutica latinoamericana : organo de la Asociacion Latinoamericana de Ciencias Fisiologicas y [de] la Asociacion Latinoamericana de Farmacologia","volume":"48 2","pages":"99-105"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1998-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"20612587","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
