The associations of the SNPs with the total egg production (NE), average days of continual laying (ADCL), and number of double-yolked eggs (DYE) traits were analyzed. The frequency of restriction enzyme A/a alleles in the population was for GnRHR 0.69 (Bpu1102 Ⅰ A) and 0.31 (Bpu1102 Ⅰ a) and for NPY 0.46 (Dra Ⅰ B) and 0.54 (Dra Ⅰ b). Trait data from a total of 120 hens, which were purebred introduced from Hainan Province, China from one generation were recorded. Two significant effects of genes' marker were found: for GnRHR and number of eggs (dominant; t= 2.67, df= 116) and NPY and number of eggs (additive; t= 1.97, df= 116). The current research supports the effects of GnRHR and NPY genes on egg-laying traits of chickens.展开更多

[ Method] GnRH in pituitary were immunohistochemically stained by avidin biotin complex method. The GnRH expression was analyzed with image system. The GnRH receptor gene was amplified by real-time PCR. [ Result] Many GnRH positive cells were detected in pars distalis of adenohypophysis. GnRH were distributed in cytoplasm but not in nuclei. No positive sig- nal was observed in neurohypophysis. In addition, the GnRH receptor gene, 920 bp in size, was amplified. [ Conclusion] A large number of GnRH and GnRH receptor were found in pars distalis of adenohypophysis, which indicates that anterior pituitary is an important tissue for functions of hypo- thalamus-pituitary-gonadal axis and other endocrine axes.展开更多

文摘【目的】研究连翘叶提取物(Forsythia suspensa leaves extract,FSLE)对孕马血清促性腺激素(pregnant mare serum gonadotropin,PMSG)在肝脏中代谢的影响,改善在畜牧生产中因PMSG代谢缓慢而造成的氧化应激。【方法】采用半仿生酶醇法提取连翘叶有效成分,给予昆明雌鼠不同含量的FSLE进行动物体内试验;收集小鼠血清,进行酶联免疫吸附试验,检测各组小鼠血清中PMSG的质量浓度;采集小鼠肝脏组织,检测氧化应激指标谷胱甘肽、超氧化物歧化酶、丙二醛和过氧化氢的水平;采用Western-blot检测小鼠肝脏组织孕烷X受体(pregnane X receptor,PXR)和细胞色素酶P45017A1(cytochrome P45017A1,CYP17A1)蛋白的表达水平。【结果】FSLE可显著降低小鼠血清中PMSG的质量浓度,且可以减缓PMSG代谢引起的氧化应激。Western-blot结果显示:FSLE可显著下调小鼠肝组织中PXR和CYP17A1蛋白的表达。【结论】连翘叶提取物可能是通过下调肝脏中PXR和CYP17A1的表达减缓PMSG代谢引起的氧化应激。
