Effect Of Copper

Lysyl oxidase activity in extracts of skin from 1-day-old Mobr/Y mice was found to be between 50 and 60% of that in corresponding extracts from littermate +/Y mice of the same age. It was increased to 84-150% of that in the latter by prior treatment of the Mobr/Y mice at 7 days of age with a single subcutaneous injection of 50 micrograms of copper, retained as Cu+ in an alkyl polyether/sebacic acid solution. This suggests that in this form the copper is able to by-pass the block in copper metabolism and is deliverable to copper-requiring processes.

Early Effects

Copper therapy was applied to brindled mouse mutants, which suffer from lethal hypocupraemia, by using cuprous and cupric solutions. The method of treatment was a single subcutaneous injection of 50 microgram of copper at 7 days of age. Early effects of the dose were: prevention of the tremors and spasms seen in untreated mutants, raising to normal and near-normal of caeruloplasmin oxidase and lysyl oxidase activities and pigmentation of skin and fur. Growth of mutants was retarded up to 23 days of age, but thereafter they rapidly gained weight to be nearly normal by 60 days of age. At 3 days after injection, copper concentrations in previously deficient mutant organs apart from liver were at least as much as those of treated normals, which had remained unchanged. Copper in mutant livers had increased only slightly in comparison with the normal control. A state of copper deficiency recurred in mutant tissues by 25 days after injection. A solution of Cu+, retained as such by an alkyl polyether, and sebacic acid resulted in greater growth rates after 23 days than did three other copper treatments. Cu+ may have resulted in an improved growth response owing to it being more readily metabolized than C12+. Delayed release of copper from the site of injection may have played an important role.

Effect Of Copper

Four experiments described determined the effect of copper and cobalt therapy on the growth and productivity of cattle on the marine plains of central coastal Queensland. Copper was administered by subcutaneous injections of copper glycinate, and cobalt by dosing per os with heavy cobalt pellets. The growth of weaned cattle was significantly improved by copper, particularly from June to October when limited palatable feed on the high ground forced the animals to forage on the para grass swamps. During the same period, 2-year-old heifers also showed a growth response to copper. Their conception rate increased after 19 months of copper therapy but not after 10.5 months. The growth rate of their calves bas significantly increased by copper supplementation. Liver copper concentrations were always low in untreated cattle. Copper therapy maintained these reserves at higher levels, which varied according to the season and the rate of growth of the animals. Calves born to treated cows had higher initial liver copper reserves than those from untreated cows, but in the absence of copper therapy these reserves declined to low and comparable levels in all calves at weaning. Pasture analyses suggest that the copper deficiency revealed was due to interference with copper metabolism rather than to a low copper status in the diet; this interference did not appear to be due to molybdenum. Weaned cattle appeared to respond to cobalt during 1960 but not subsequently, while the cows and calves showed no response. The vitamin B12 status in liver and serum appeared adequate in both treated and untreated cattle.

Endometrial Scratching

SUMMARY Ovariectomized rats treated with 2·5 or 5·0 mg. progesterone daily received a single subcutaneous injection of 0·2 μg. oestradiol on the third day of the progesterone treatment. The deciduomal response to trauma by endometrial scratching was used to determine the degree of uterine sensitivity at various times after oestradiol. Uterine sensitivity was partially and then completely lost 36 and 48 hr. after oestradiol administration. The inhibition of uterine sensitivity persisted until 9 and 11 days after oestradiol when the animals received 2·5 and 5·0 mg. progesterone daily. Uterine sensitivity was completely inhibited on day 11 with doses of oestradiol from 0·2 to 0·05 μg. Withdrawal of progesterone treatment for 48 or 72 hr., but not for 24 hr., after oestradiol treatment restored uterine sensitivity. These results show that the oestradiol-induced inhibition of uterine sensitivity in the progestational endometrium is maintained by continuous progesterone treatment and that the duration of this effect is dependent on the dose of progesterone given.

Single Subcutaneous Injection

SUMMARY Cadmium chloride, in a single subcutaneous injection, can destroy spermatogenic and interstitial cells in the rat testis (Pařízek, 1957) and produce changes in the pituitary. The interstitial tissue is restored by ingrowths from the tunica and full androgen secretion returns before there is any regeneration of germinal epithelium. A cytological study has been made of the peripheral and central pituitary gonadotrophs; the latter revert almost to normal as the interstitial tissue regenerates, whereas the former retain characteristic castration features, unless there is also regeneration of the germinal epithelium. This seems to indicate that in the normal testis there is a hormone contribution from the seminiferous tubules as well as from the interstitial cells. The long-term effects of cadmium on the testis depend on the dose. Early stages of tubule restoration have been studied, but after administration of 0·9 mg., actual proliferation of the germinal epithelium was rarely found—only in four out of twenty rats, 113 or 142 days after injection.
