[Effect of nutrition on lysosomal function during physical loading].

Abstract

Changes of cardiac, sceletal and hepatic lysosomes effected by three different variants of balanced isocaloric diets: 1--basic, 2--protein-lipid and 3--carbohydrate, with ratios of proteins, lipids and carbohydrates in mass 1.0:0.35:2.6; 1.0:0.48:0.67; and 1.0:1.3:10.9, respectively, were studied. Activities of enzymes participating in degradation of carbohydrates (beta-glucosidase, beta-N-acetyl-glucosaminidase) were more increased in the animals fed with the carbohydrate diet. Activation of proteolytic enzymes (cathepsin D) was observed in tissues of rats taking the protein-lipid food. As a rule physical exercise exerts lysosomal enzymes activation and their membrane labilization in rats maintained on the basic diet. Reversial reactions of lysosomes to physical exercise is observed in animals receiving the carbohydrate diet for along time that is expressed in increasing the total activity of lysosomal hydrolases and stabilizing the lysosomal membranes. On the contrary, maintaining the animals on the protein-lipid diet is followed by a more pronounced activation of the lysosomal apparatus of tissues as compared to the basic diet.

Nicotine moderates the effects of macronutrient balance on nutrient intake by parasitized Manduca sexta L.

Effects of dietary nicotine and macronutrient ratio on M. sexta larvae were examined. Larvae were fed a carbohydrate-biased, protein-biased or diet having equal amounts of casein and sucrose, with and without nicotine. Without nicotine, larvae displayed compensatory feeding on the low protein diet, but despite consuming more, grew least on this diet. Nicotine at 0.5% had no effect on nutrient consumption. Nicotine at 1.0 and 2.0% reduced overall consumption and thereby also reduced nicotine consumption. Larvae parasitized by C. congregata displayed reduced nutrient intake and growth on all diets. Parasitized larvae responded to 1% nicotine similarly to unparasitized larvae. At 0.5% nicotine, they displayed reduced consumption on all diets, possibly due to altered chemoreceptor sensitivity to nicotine. When offered a choice of two diets having different macronutrient ratios, one with and the other without 0.1% nicotine, all larvae preferred the diet lacking nicotine and failed to regulate nutrient intake such that the nutrient intake target, a ratio of nutrients supporting optimal growth, was achieved. Parasitized larvae consumed less nicotine on a fresh weight basis than unparasitized insects, suggesting that the feeding response of parasitized larvae to nicotine minimizes the exposure of nicotine to developing parasites.

Homeopathic treatment for infertility in a prize Nelore bull.

Treatments for infertility in bulls are not described in homeopathic literature. A few treatments, such as changing the protein content of the diet, giving extra minerals, etc have been proposed. This case report describes homeopathic treatment for infertility in a prize bull. A Nelore bull, considered infertile for 3 years, was treated with homeopathic Pulsatilla nigricans 200 CH. Decreased total sperm defects, increased sperm motility and a very impressive increased number of doses of semen produced were observed. The bull relapsed after treatment was withdrawn, but again responded when it was resumed. Since only one animal was observed one cannot assume that the observed changes were due only to this treatment. Further studies may establish the real benefits of a homeopathic medicine in bull infertility.
