Efecto del ejercicio físico agudo sobre la distribución y el metabolismo de la vitamina A / Effect of acute physical exercise on the distribution and metabolism of vitamin A

Se evaluó el efecto del ejercio físico agudo sobre la distribución y el metabolismo de la vitamina A en un modelo experimental animal. Se estudiaron las concentraciones plasmáticas, hepaticas, renales, testiculares y de glándulas suprarrenales de la vitamina A y de sus principales formas moleculares: retinol y ésteres de retinol, en animales sometidos a ejercicio físico durante 2 h sin previo entrenamiento. Se observó una disminución en la concentración hepática y testicular de la vitamina A y un incremento de ésta en los riñones de los animales ejercitados. Se demostró, además, el incremento del catabolismo hepático del retinol bajo las condiones experimentales

Effects of anterodorsalis thalami nucleus lesion on adrenal function in rats

La lesión bilateral de los núcleos anterodorsales talámicos produjo un aumento significativo en la concentración de corticosterona adrenal y plasmatica, mientras que las catecolaminas adrenales disminuyeron en respuesta a la lesión de los núcleos

Effect of graded distension of urinary bladder on arterial blood pressure and neurohumors in rabbits.

Effect of graded distension of urinary bladder has been observed on the circulating level of catecholamine, cortisol and serotonin along with arterial blood pressure in rabbits. Simultaneously adrenal catecholamine has been also investigated. Similar pattern of increase has been observed in the levels of catecholamine, cortisol, serotonin and arterial blood pressure after bladder distension at 20 ml, 40 ml and 60 ml volumes. On this basis, it may be inferred that there is some role of the vasoconstrictor humors released during bladder distension in pressor response. At the same time, decrease in adrenal catecholamine level also supports this.

Distribution of 5-hydroxytryptamine and histamine in tissues of WLH chicken.

5-Hydroxytryptamine and histamine were estimated in lungs, liver, spleen and adrenals of chicken. A substantial amount of both the amines was found in all the organs. The highest level of both the amines was found in adrenals followed by spleen, lungs and liver. The level of 5-hydroxytryptamine was, however, higher than histamine in all the tissues except adrenals.

Effect of intracerebroventricular injection of histamine on blood sugar level and hypothalamo-pituitary adrenal axis of rats.

Intraventricular injection of histamine and normal saline in rats caused a marked fall in adrenal ascorbic acid indicating a stimulatory effect of both on pituitary adrenal axis. Intraventricularly injected histamine caused significant hypoglycaemia also in rats as compared to control series.
