1. The effects of pulsatile and continuous intravenous administration of exogenous, pituitary-derived chicken growth hormone (p-cGH) on lipid metabolism and endocrine/metabolite levels of broiler-strain pullets were studied. 2. Eight-week-old pullets were administered p-cGH or vehicle over a 10 min period every 90 min for 7 days. 3. Pullets were also administered the same daily amount (123 micrograms/kg of body weight/day) continuously for 7 days. 4. Feed intake, body weight gain, in vitro lipogenesis and hepatic enzyme activities were determined with certain hormones identified with the control of growth. 5. Pulsatile p-cGH administration for 7 days lacked effect on weight gain, feed efficiency, muscle or bone development. 6. Abdominal fat pad size was decreased (P less than 0.05) by pulsatile but not continuous administration of p-cGH. Pulsatile p-cGH administration also decreased (P less than 0.05) in vitro lipogenesis. Liver malic enzyme and isocitrate dehydrogenase activities were increased (P less than 0.05) by pulsatile but not continuous administration of p-cGH. In contrast, glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase activity was increased by a continuous infusion of p-cGH. 7. Plasma concentrations of T4 corticosterone and triglycerides were decreased (P less than 0.05) by a pulsatile but not a constant infusion of p-cGH. 8. Plasma T3 and GH were increased (P less than 0.05) by pulsatile p-cGH compared to both a continuous infusion of p-cGH and the saline controls. 9. This study is the first to prove that in the broiler chicken, the pattern of exogenous p-cGH administration is a factor influencing in vitro responses to the hormone.

This report extends the genetic map of the common shrew (Sorex araneus) by use of a clone panel of shrew-Chinese hamster and shrew-mouse hybrid cells (Pack et al., 1995; Matyakhina et al., 1996). This set of hybrid clones made it possible to assign the shrew genes for isocitrate dehydrogenase 2 (IDH2), inorganic pyrophosphatase (PP), glutamicpyruvate transaminase (GPT), adenosine kinase (ADK), glucuronidase 2 (GUSB) and acid phosphatase 2 (ACP2) to chromosome ik; the genes for adenylate kinases 1 and 3 (AK1 and AK3) to chromosome af; the genes for glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase 2 (GOT2), peptidase D (PEPD) and growth hormone (GH) to chromosome hn; the gene for phosphoglucomutase 2 (PGM2) to chromosome go, the gene for enolase 1 (ENO1) to chromosome ji, the gene for ornithine carbamoyl-transferase (OTC) to chromosome de, the gene for aminoacylase 1 (ACY1) to arm m (chromosome mp), the gene for glutamate-oxaloacetate transaminase 1 (GOT1) to arm q (chromosome qr). Thus, the genetic map of the common shrew now contains 33 genes and it is possible to compare the syntenic associations with other species.

The specific activities of three lipogenic enzymes, malic enzyme (ME), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), in liver and heart and two transaminases (AST & ALT) in liver and muscle, were studied in response to the in vivo and in vitro administration of growth hormone (GH) in a teleost Anabas testudineus. Ovine growth hormone (oGH) in vivo significantly reduced the activities of lipogenic enzymes, except for heart G6PDH, which showed an increase at the highest dose of hormone. Transaminase activity either increased or decreased depending on the dose of GH. The lowest dose of hormone employed (0.1 microg/gm b/w) exhibited a stimulatory effect and the highest dose (0.5 microg/gm. b/w) an inhibitory effect on transaminase activity. Both ovine GH and carp GH (oGH and cGH) in vitro significantly reduced the activities of ME, G6PDH and ICDH. Activities of AST and ALT were increased by oGH and cGH in vitro. The present study reveals that irrespective of origin, GH in vitro has a direct inhibitory effect on lipogenic enzymes ME, G6PDH, ICDH and a stimulatory effect on transaminases AST and ALT in A. testudineus, thus favoring gluconeogenesis.

Prolactin (PRL) has an important role in the regulation of water and electrolyte homeostasis in teleosts. The present study was designed to evaluate the role of PRL and GH on malic enzyme (ME), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH) and isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) in Anabas testudineus. Ovine prolactin significantly inhibited ME, G6PDH and ICDH activities when administered in vivo compared to vehicle treated controls. In vivo administration of PRL reversed the action of bromocryptine on enzyme activities. Ovine growth hormone in vivo also modified the effect of bromocryptine but not to the level of prolactin. Combined action of PRL+GH in vivo was most effective in keeping the enzyme activities at normal level after bromocryptine treatment. Prolactin in vitro also reversed the action of bromocryptine on enzyme activities, while GH in vitro failed to do so. Hence, prolactin seems to have an inhibitory effect on lipid metabolism in this teleost. Combined action of PRL+GH is more prominent in in vivo conditions at low PRL levels. Dopaminergic pathways may be involved in the control of prolactin and to some extent on growth hormone secretion.

Striated muscles exhibit a wide range of metabolic activity levels. Heart and diaphragm are muscles with continuous contractile performance, which requires life-long function. In contrast, skeletal muscles like longissimus muscle can adapt metabolism from resting to different stages of exercise. The aim of this study was to compare the morphological features of these three muscles and the expression of genes that are important for energy metabolism. Therefore, histochemical studies were performed for determination of muscle fibre type composition. Oxidative and glycolytic capacity was assessed by measuring isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activities. The mRNA expression of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT 4), growth hormone receptor (GHR) and AMP-activated kinase (AMPK) alpha(1) and alpha(2) subunits was studied by semiquantitative Northern blotting. Heart, and to a slightly lesser extent diaphragm were highly oxidative muscles characterised by high expression of oxidative muscle fibres and ICDH activity. Longissimus muscle exhibited the highest percentage of glycolytic fibres and LDH activity. GLUT 4 mRNA was lowest in heart reflecting the dependency of heart muscle on fatty acids as major energy source. Higher expression of GLUT 4 in diaphragm indicated that glucose is an important energy substrate in this oxidative muscle. Highest GLUT 4 expression in longissimus should be essential for the refilling of glycogen stores after exercise. AMPK subunits, which are important stimulators of GLUT 4 protein insertion into the sarcolemma, are also highest expressed in longissimus muscle indicating the strong capacity to adapt energy metabolism to large changes in energy demand. Interestingly, AMPK alpha(1) subunit expression on protein level is strongly restricted to muscle fibres containing type I myosin in this muscle. GHR mRNA expression was also highest in longissimus muscle indicating that an enhanced effect of growth hormone, which is described to be diabetogenic, could be involved in the lower insulin sensitivity of glycolytic muscles.
