However, the mechanisms controlling this selection process remain unknown. In this study, we investigated apoptosis in granulosa cells during goat follicular atresia by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL). The changes in the levels of steroids, insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) and IGF receptors were studied by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and semi-quantitative reverse transcrip-tion-PCR. We found that the percentage of apoptotic granulosa cells in the atretic (A) follicles was significantly higher than that in the slightly atretic (SA) and healthy (H) follicles. The level of estradiol and the ratio of estradiol to progesterone in H follicles were significantly higher than those in A follicles. On the other hand, the level of progesterone was not significantly different among these follicle types. We also found that the level of IGF-Ⅰ in H follicles was higher than in SA and A follicles, whereas the amount of IGF-Ⅱ did not vary significantly. The expression of IGF receptor also decreased in A follicles as compared to that in H and SA follicles. These results suggested that estradiol and IGF-Ⅰ might be involved in controlling apoptosis in granulosa cells during follicular atresia.展开更多

The novel anti-androgen dimethyl curcumin niosomes were prepared by thin-film dispersion-ultrasonic method, and the prescription composition and preparation process were optimized by single-factor investigation method. Certainly, the solubility and quality evaluation of dimethyl curcumin niosomes were also investigated. The average particle size of prepared dimethyl curcumin niosomes was (310.3+0.9) nm. The highest encapsulation rate was 88.1%± 1.7%, and the drug-loading amount was 4.03%±1.05%. Moreover, the leakage rate was below 2% within 45 d. Collectively, all these findings indicated that the niosomes, as a vector, could significantly improve the solubility and stability of dimethyl curcumin, offering a theoretical basis for dimethyl curcumin as an anticancer drug in medicine application.展开更多
