Učinak nekih lijekova na glikogen i nivo acetilkolina u tkivu mozga i perifernim tkivima u štakora s hiperglikemijom izazvanom malationom

The hyperglycaemia induced by malathion (5OO mg/kg, i.p.) in rats was accompanied by depletion of glycogen in certain brain regions and peripheral tissues and an increase in the level of cortical and striatal acetylcholine. Thn induced changes were abolished by pralidoxime (100 mg/kg, i.p.) given immediately after malathion, but persisted when oxime was given 30 min after malathion treatment. Atropine (25 mg/kg, i.p.) prevented the malathion induced hyperglycaemia and changes in the level of glycogen. The cortical and striatal acetylcholine levels in these animals were significantly higher than in controls. Pretreatment with reserpine (1.0 mg/kg, i.p.) daily for three days did not modify the malathion induced changes in the levels of blood glucose, glycogen and acetylcholine. The increased acetylcholine level in the brain may have been related to changes in the level of glycogen and blood glucose in malathion treated animals.Ustanovljeno je da hirperglikemiju u štakora izazvanu malationom (500 mg/kg, i. p.) prati nestanak glikogena u nekim područjima mozga i perifernim tkivima i porast acetilkolina u kortikalnom i strijatalnom dijelu mozga. Ove promjene nestale su kad je odmah nakon malationa dan pralidoksim (100 mg/kg, i. p.), ali su se zadržale kad je oksim dan 30 minuta nakon malationa. Atropin (25 mg/kg, i. p.) je spriječio hiperglikemiju izazvanu malationom i promjene u nivou glikogena. Nivo acetilkolina u kortikalnom i strijatalnom dijelu mozga bio je značajno viši u tretiranih životinja nego u kontrolnih. Prethodni trodnevni tretman rezerpinom (1,0 mg/kg dnevno, i. p.) nije utjecao na promjene koje je izazvao malation u nivou glukoze u krvi, glikogena i acetilkolina. Povišene vrijednosti acetilkolina u mozgu mogu se dovesti u vezu s promjenama u nivou glikogena i glukoze u krvi životinja tretiranih rnalationom

Uloga adrenalnih žlijezda u nastanku promjena u metabolizmu ugljikohidrata izazvanih diazinonom u štakora

Treatment of rats with diazinon (40 mg/kg, i.p.) resulted in hyper-glycaemia and depletion of glycogen from the brain and peripheral tissues two hours after administration. The activities of glycogen phosphorylase and phosphoglucomutase were significantly higher in the brain and liver; that of glucose-6-phosphatase was not altered. The activities of the glycolytic enzymes hexokinase and lactate dehydrogenase were increased only in the brain. The cholinesterase activity in the brain was reduced by treatment with diazinon. The activities of the hepatic gluconeogenic enzymes fructose I.6-diphosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase were significantly increased. The lactate level was increased in the brain and blood, whereas that of pyruvate was not changed. The activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was not changed to any major extent. Cholesterol and ascorbic acid contents of adrenals were depleted in diazinon-treated animals. The changes were pronounced after intraperitoneal administration of 40 mg/kg diazinon, they were slight but significant after 20 mg/kg, and absent after l0 mg/kg. Hyperglycaemia and changes in carbohydrate metabolism were abolished by adrenalectomy suggesting possible involvement of adrenals.U štakora koji su dobivali diazinon (40 mg/kg) intraperitonealno dva sata nakon pnm1ene utvrđena je hiperglikemija i smanjenje nivoa glikogena u tkivima mozga i živaca. Aktivnosti glikogen fosforilaze i fosfoglukomutaze u mozgu i jetri bile su značajno više, dok se aktivnost glukoza-6-fosfataze nije promijenila. Glikolitski enzimi heksokinaza i laktat dehidrogenaza imali su povišenu aktivnost samo u mozgu. Tretman diazinonom doveo je do smanjene aktivnosti kolinesteraze u mozgu. Aktivnosti glukoneogenih enzima jetre fruktoza 1,6-difosfataze i fosfoenolpiruvatne karboksikinaze značajno su porasle. Nivo laktata bio je povišen u mozgu i krvi, dok je koncentracija piruvata ostala nepromijenjena. Aktivnost glukoza-6-fosfatne dehidrogenaze nije se bitno promijenila. Sadržaj kolesterola i askorbinske kiseline u nadbubrežnim žlijezdama bioje niži u životinja koje su primale diazinon, Promjene su bile najizraženije nakon doze od 40 mg kg diazinona, male ali značajne nakon doze od 20 mg/kg, a nije ih bilo nakon doze od 10 mg/kg. Hiperglikemija i promjene u metabolizmu ugljikohidrata bile su spriječene adrenalektomijom što ukazuje na moguću ulogu nadbubrežnih žlijezda u biokemijskim promjenama izazvanima diazinonom

Raspodjela pp\u27DDT u nekim dijelovima mozga u štakora tretiranih diazinonom

The effect of diazinon, given intraperitoneally, on the distribution of pp\u27DDT was determined in certain brain regions of rats. pp\u27DDT concentration expressed per gram of wet weight was highest in the corpus striatum (2575 ng/g) followed by those in the cerebellum (1850 ng/g) and in the cortex (990 ng/g). Pretreatment with diazinon increased pp\u27DDT accumulation in various brain regions by about 20 per cent (corpus striatum 2995 ng/g; cerebellum 2240 ng/g and cortex 1245 ng/g) and reduced cholinesterase activity by 50 - 70 per cent.Određivan je učinak intraperitonealno davanog diazinona na raspodjelu pp\u27DDT u nekim dijelovima mozga u štakora. Koncentracija pp\u27DDT po gramu težine mozga bila je najviša u korpusu strijatumu (2575 ng/g), zatim malom mozgu (1850 ng/g) i kori velikog mozga (990 ng/g). Prethodni tretman diazinonom povećao je akumulaciju pp\u27DDT u regijama mozga štakora za oko 20% (korpus strijatum 2995 ng/g, mali mozak 2240 ng/g, kora velikog mozga 1245 ng/g). Aktivnost acetilkolinesteraze mozga smanjila se za 50 do 70%

Glikoliza i glikogenoliza u mozgu životinja tretiranih diazinonom

Treatment with diazinon (40 mg/kg, i. p.) resulted in depletion of glycogen and increased activities of glycogen phosphorylase, phosphoglucomutase, hexokinase and lactate dehydrogenase in the brain of rats. The activity of glucose-o-phosphatase was not significantly changed. The level of lactic acid in the blood was raised, while that of pyruvic was not altered. The induced changes may be due to a compensatory mechanism providing extra energy on account of stimulatory effects in diazinon treated animals.Davanje diazinona (40 mg/kg i. p.) imalo je za posljedicu iscrpljenje glikogena u mozgu štakora te povećanu aktivnost glikogen fosforilaze, fosfoglukomutaze, heksokinaze i laktat dehidrogenaze. Aktivnost glukoza-6-fosfataze nije bila značajnije promijenjena. Razina mliječne kiseline u krvi bila je povećana, dok se koncentracija pirogrožđane kiseline nije mijenjala. Ove inducirane promjene mogu biti posljedica kompenzacijskog mehanizma da bi se stvorila dodatna energija kao posljedica stimulatornih učinaka diazinona u trovanih životinja

Extraction, optical properties, and aging studies of natural pigments of various flower plants

In this paper, we reported the extraction process of five different flowering plants utilizing different dye extraction methods and solvents (ethanol and water) to choose the best dye removal process. The FTIR spectra revealed the presence of several clear functional groups for all five natural dyes. The analytical studies such as UV spectroscopy, column chromatography, and vacuum evaporation were performed to isolate the dyes from their solutions. The UV-Vis studies on the pigments of flower extracts indicated broad absorption peaks in the visible region including clear bandgaps. Among the studied pigments, Alternanthera ficoidea showed the lowest direct bandgap of 1.69 eV and an Urbach energy value of 6.33 meV. The dye extraction yield rate improvement was extended from 11.7 to 24.7% (water solvent) and 11.3–32.4% (ethanol solvent). Throughout the studies, it was observed that ethanol produced a better extraction for organic dyes than water as a solvent. Aging studies revealed that all the dyes at the room temperature showed better stability with minor changes in the observed optical parameters in oxygen-rich conditions; however, these parameters have shown significant variations at a 60 °C temperature
