Effect of vasopressin, oxytocin and LHRH (10 and 20 pg/ml medium) on the proliferation and metabolism of cultured rat bone marrow stromal cells was investigated by methyl-3H-thymidine incorporation, cytochemistry and estimation of enzyme activities. Vasopressin did not change of the activity of tetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase (4HFDH), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) and the level of reduced glutathione (GSH). However, the higher concentration of vasopressin significantly lowered the activity of acetylcholinesterase (AchE). As compared with the control cultures, stromal cells grown in the presence of oxytocin showed higher (at lower hormone concentration) and lower (at higher concentration) LDH activity as well as lower G6PD activity (only at higher concentration), while the activity of AchE and the level of GSH was not changed. LHRH significantly increased G6PD and AchE activity and decreased LDH activity in the cultured cells. As revealed by cytochemistry, LHRH specifically enhanced 4HFDH activity in reticular cells.

Genomic DNA of Israeli Holstein-Friesian dairy cattle were screened with a battery of 17 cloned or subcloned DNA probes in an attempt to document restriction fragment length polymorphisms at a number of genetic loci. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms were observed at the chymosin, oxytocin-neurophysin I, lutropin beta, keratin III, keratin VI, keratin VII, prolactin, and dihydrofolate reductase loci. Use of certain genomic DNA fragments as probes produced hybridization patterns indicative of satellite DNA at the respective loci. Means for distinguishing hybridizations to coding sequences for unique genes from those to satellite DNA were developed. Results of this study are discussed in terms of strategy for the systematic development of large numbers of bovine genomic polymorphisms.
