The value of standard energy metabolism had measured on rats after intragastral (oral) administration of the new selenium containing metal-complex substance πQ1983 in dose 100 mg/kg. The well-known antihypoxant amthizol was used as a substance of comparison in a same dose. The substance πQ1983 administered 90 min before study was shown to decrease the activity of energy processes in organism from 194.4 ± 0.7 kcal/day/kg to 74.5 ± 0.5 kcal/day/kg but effect of amthizol was not reliable. It was revealed also that both substances (πQ1983 significantly, amthizol slightly) decreased the oxygen consumption rate during rising acute exogenous hypoxia that could form high resistance level to oxygen insufficiency in rats. Probably, the decrease of oxygen consumption is due to the inhibitory effects of the substances studied, especially substance πQ1983, on active energetic processes in the organism.

Cardiorespiratory system activities have been studied on rats in experiment after oral introduction of the new selenium-containing metal-complex substance πQ1983 in dose 100 mg/kg before and under action of acute hypercapnic hypoxia (AH + Hc). The substance was introduced 90 min. before (incubation period) placement of animals into hypoxic chambers with 1.0 L free volume. During each experiment as well as during AH+Hc an electrical activity of myocardium (ECG) and respiration curves called pneumobarogramm (PBG) were recorded simultaneously. It has been established that the substance πQ1983 made cardiodepressive effect and decreases parameters of lungs ventilation in animals. According to ECG and PBG dynamics, rats protected by the substance demonstrated a high resistance level to the aroused acute hypoxia with hypercapnia, that expressed by weakening of early reactions from cardiorespiratory system under hypercapnia action, and by twice longer life span of animals in hypoxic experiment.

Fine changes of electrical activities in rat myocardium were studied after oral introduction of new selenium-containing metal-complex substance πQ1983 in dose 100 mg/kg before and after an acute hypercapnichypoxia (AH + Hc) development. A substance for comparison — metabolic antihypoxant amthizole was used by same way and dose. The substances were introduced 90 min before (incubation period) placing of animals into hypoxic chambers with 1.0 L free volume. ECG was recorded continually during both an incubation period and a hypoxic experiment. It has been established that the inhibitory action of the substance πQ1983 on electrical activity of rat myocardium manifests itself like a significant bradycardia. According with ECG data, rats protected with substance πQ1983 show the resistance level to the AH + Hc higher than ones that intake the antihypoxant amthizole. It was proved by peculiarities of early myocardial hypercapnic reactions, parameters of lifespan, and length of so called relative wellbeing period.

AbstractEnergy metabolism of the infective juveniles (IJ) of Steinernema carpocapsae under aerobic conditions and its relation to survival and infectivity of the IJ was studied by monitoring the changes in mean dry weight, levels of key energy reserve compounds, oxygen consumption rate, respiratory quotient, survival and infectivity of freshly harvested IJ incubated in tap water on a shaker at 28°C over time. The survival rate of the IJ exceeded 90% for the first 6 weeks and then dropped sharply to about 50% at week 8. The infectivity of the IJ did not change markedly within the first 3 weeks, dropped slightly during weeks 4 and 5 and then decreased sharply to week 6. The mean dry weight of the IJ dropped at a roughly constant rate from an initial level of 74 ng/IJ to 41 ng/IJ at week 6. Thus, during the period of 6 weeks at 28°C, each IJ consumed nearly half of its initial dry weight. Consumption of the lipids, proteins, glycogen and trehalose accounted for 91, 41, 56 and 78% of the initial levels of these compounds and 47, 41, 9 and 3% of the total dry weight of materials consumed, respectively. Most lipids were consumed in the first 3 weeks while most proteins, glycogen and trehalose were consumed in the last 2 or 3 weeks. Oxygen consumption rate decreased from 3.0 to 0.5 ml/million IJ/day from day 1 to week 6 while the respiratory quotient remained constant at about 0.7 for the first 4 weeks then dropped sharply to 0.3 at week 6. Both survival time and the rate of reduction in mean dry weight of IJ were severely affected by temperature and buffering. The functions of the individual energy reserve materials, characteristics of the energy metabolism and the relationship between energy metabolism and the survival and infectivity of the IJ are discussed. Der Energiestoffwechsel und seine Beziehung zum Überleben und zur Infektivität der Infektionsjuvenilen von Steinernema carpocapsae unter aeroben Bedingungen - Der Energiestoffwechsel der Infektionsjuvenilen (IJ) von Steinernema carpocapsae unter aeroben Bedingungen und seine Beziehungen zum Überleben und zur Infektivität der IJ wurde untersucht durch die Erfassung der Änderungen im mittleren Trockengewicht, des Niveaus der wichtigen Energiereservestoffe, des Sauerstoffverbrauchs, des Respirationsquotienten sowie der Überlebensrate und der Infektivität frisch gewonnener IJ, die in Leitungswasser bei 28°C auf einem Schüttler gehalten wurden. Die Überlebensrate überschritt während der ersten sechs Wochen 90% und fiel dann in der achten Woche schnell auf etwa 50% ab. Die Infektivität änderte sich innerhalb der ersten 3 Wochen wenig, fiel dann im Laufe der Wochen 4 und 5 etwas ab, verminderte sich dann aber schnell in Woche 6. Das mittlere Trockengewicht der IJ fiel ungefähr gleichmäßig von einem Ausgangsniveau von 74 ng/IJ auf 41 ng/IJ in Woche 6 ab. Jedes IJ verbrauchte also bei 28°C innerhalb von 6 Wochen fast die Hälfte seines ursprünglichen Trockengewichts. Vom ursprünglichen Gehalt an Lipiden wurden 91% verbraucht, von Proteinen 41%, von Glykogen 56% und von Trehalose 78%. Vom Gesamtverbrauch entfielen 47% auf Lipide, 41% auf Proteine, 9% auf Glykogen und 3% auf Trehalose. Die meisten Lipide wurden in den ersten drei Wochen verbraucht, während die meisten Proteine, Glykogen und Trehalose in den letzten 2 oder 3 Wochen verbraucht wurden. Der Sauerstoffverbrauch fiel von 3,0 auf 0,5 ml/million IJ/Tag von Tag 1 bis Woche 6, während der Respirationsquotient in den ersten 4 Wochen konstant bei 0,7 und dann schnell auf 0,3 in Woche 6 abnahm. Überlebensdauer und Abnahme des mittleren Trockengewichts wurden durch Temperatur und Pufferung stark beeinflusst. Die Funktionen der einzelnen Energiereservestoffe, die Kennzeichen des Energiestoffwechsels und die Beziehungen zwischen Energiestoffwechsel, Überleben und Infektivität der IJ werden diskutiert.

Microbial efficiency in a meromictic reservoirIndices of microbial efficiency (expressed as oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide release) were determined in the water column of the meromictic Piaseczno Reservoir (in an opencast sulphur mine), which is rich in sulphur compounds. Phytoplankton abundances were low in both the mixolimnion (up to 15 m depth) and monimolimnion (below 15 m depth). In summer and winter, carbon dioxide release was 3-fold and 5-fold higher, respectively, in the monimolimnion than in the mixolimnion. Laboratory enrichments of the sulphur substrate of the water resulted in a decrease in oxygen consumption rate of by about 42% in mixolimnion samples, and in the carbon dioxide release rate by about 69% in monimolimnion samples. Water temperature, pH and bivalent ion contents were of major importance in shaping the microbial metabolic efficiency in the mixolimnion, whilst in the monimolimnion these relationships were not evident.

Pre-weaned porcine islets (PPIs) represent an unlimited source for islet transplantation but are functionally immature. We previously showed that necrostatin-1 (Nec-1) immediately after islet isolation enhanced the in vitro development of PPIs. Here, we examined the impact of Nec-1 on the in vivo function of PPIs after transplantation in diabetic mice. PPIs were isolated from pancreata of 8–15-day-old, pre-weaned pigs and cultured in media alone, or supplemented with Nec-1 (100 µM) on day 0 or on day 3 of culture (n = 5 for each group). On day 7, islet recovery, viability, oxygen consumption rate, insulin content, cellular composition, insulin secretion capacity, and transplant outcomes were evaluated. While islet viability and oxygen consumption rate remained high throughout 7-day tissue culture, Nec-1 supplementation on day 3 significantly improved islet recovery, insulin content, endocrine composition, GLUT2 expression, differentiation potential, proliferation capacity of endocrine cells, and insulin secretion. Adding Nec-1 on day 3 of tissue culture enhanced the islet recovery, proportion of delta cells, beta-cell differentiation and proliferation, and stimulation index. In vivo, this leads to shorter times to normoglycemia, better glycemic control, and higher circulating insulin. Our findings identify the novel time-dependent effects of Nec-1 supplementation on porcine islet quantity and quality prior to transplantation.
