The relationship between IGF-1 concentrations and liveweight was also examined. In all three experiments, a number of non-genetic factors were found to contribute significantly to the variation in IGF-1 concentrations, the most important of these being sex and litter size. In one experiment, where pups from 16 litters were cross-fostered to avoid the confounding of maternal and direct genetic effects, a heritability of 0.40 +/- 0.27 was estimated for plasma IGF-1 concentration at 35 days of age. To examine further the existence of genetic variation in plasma concentrations of IGF-1 and the genetic covariation between plasma IGF-1 levels and other body traits, a selection experiment with mice has been initiated. Moderate to strong phenotypic correlations between IGF-1 concentrations and weight at an early age have been found in all three experiments.</p>","PeriodicalId":8573,"journal":{"name":"Australian journal of biological sciences","volume":"40 3","pages":"287-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14566882","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}

Testicular size decreased after the breeding season concomitant with a decrease in plasma testosterone (7·6 ± 1·7 nmol/I). Histologically, regressive changes were observed in the testis after the breeding season including a decrease in seminiferous tubule diameter and a decrease in Leydig cell nuclear diameter. Significant germ cell loss occurred during the breeding season (44%) mainly during the final spermatogonial division and meiosis and increased in regressed testes (69%), being accentuated chiefly at meiosis. All regressed testes showed some sperm production although it was much reduced after the breeding season; however, optimal fertility appears to be restricted to autumn by the large increases in testosterone secretion which only occur at this time.","PeriodicalId":8573,"journal":{"name":"Australian journal of biological sciences","volume":"67 1","pages":"211-220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"74805001","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}

Urethane treatment resulted in a significant elevation of central noradrenergic neuronal activity (NNA) as assessed from marked rises in hypothalamic DHPG concentrations and the ratio (DHPG/NA). At the same time there was significant stimulation of ACTH and corticosterone release and inhibition of growth hormone release. These hormonal and central effects of urethane (but not anesthesia) were inhibited when the alpha 2-agonist clonidine (150 micrograms/kg) was co-administered. Urethane had no major effect on hypothalamic dopamine or serotonin status. We propose that the release of ACTH and the suppression of growth hormone release following urethane anaesthesia is a result of activation of central NNA and suggest that the hormonal responses are mediated via hypothalamic noradrenergic facilitation of corticotrophin releasing factor and somatostatin release to the anterior pituitary.","PeriodicalId":8573,"journal":{"name":"Australian journal of biological sciences","volume":"128 16 1","pages":"91-6"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1987-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87764083","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}
