Effect of magnesium deficiency on post-heparin lipase activity and tissue lipoprotein lipase in the rat 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Previous studies have provided evidence that Mg deficiency affects lipid metabolism. The present experiments were designed
to assess whether the hypertriglyceridemia associated with Mg deficiency was related to alterations in post-heparin lipase
activity (PHLA). Mg-deficient and control diets were pair-fed to weanling Wistar rats for eight days and plasma lipoproteins
were separated into various density classes by sequential preparative ultracentrifugation. Triglycerides were significantly
increased in chylomicrons and in the very low density lipoprotein, low density lipoprotein and high density lipoprotein (HDL)
fractions. Cholesterol and phospholipid levels were significantly lower in the HDL fraction. PHLA in deficient rat was substantially
lower than in control rats. The inverse correlation between plasma triglyceride concentration and PHLA strongly suggests that
hypertriglyceridemia is the result of defective lipolysis of plasma triglycerides in Mg-deficient rats. Further examination
of the PHLA was carried out by salt-mediated inhibition of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and by heparin sepharose affinity chromatography
and purified rat LPL antiserum. The results indicate that hepatic lipase is significantly decreased in Mg-deficient rats but
the low PHLA is due mainly to a decline in LPL. However, total LPL activity, that is, both the intracellular and the extracellular
oools of LPL in adipose tissue, heart and diaphragm, were unaffected by Mg deficiency. The results suggest that the decrease
of LPL activity in the plasma of Mg-deficient rats may be due to a selective decrease in the heparin-releasable pool of enzyme. 相似文献

The human plasma high density lipoproteins (HDL) are a heterogeneous ensemble of five proteins associated with both neutral
and polar lipids. The sequences of all five proteins are known. ApoA-I and apoA-II are the major protein components; apoC-I,
apoC-II and apoC-III are the minor protein components. All these apoproteins spontaneously recombine with phospholipids to
give stable lipid-protein complexes and freely exchange between the two major HDL subclasses, HDL2 and HDL3. In addition, ApoC-I, apoC-II, and apoC-III exchange between HDL and very low density lipoproteins. Furthermore, certain
HDL apoproteins are activators for plasma enzymes that are important in lipid metabolism. ApoA-I and apoC-I activate lecithin/cholesterol
acyltransferase; apoC-II is an activator of lipoprotein lipase. The regions of apoC-I and apoC-II that are involved in the
activation of these enzymes have been localized with synthetic peptides. Studies of synthetic and native fragments of apoA-II,
apoC-I, apoC-II, and apoC-III as well as model lipid-binding peptides have identified specific regions with structural features
common to lipid-binding proteins. These special properties, which include helical potential, sequences with a critical amphipathic
length, and high hydrophobicity of the nonpolar side of the amphipathic helix, are the determinants of HDL structure and metabolism. 相似文献

The purpose of the present investigation was to test whether permanent skeletal muscle cells (rat L6 cells) could serve as
an in vitro model for α-tocopherol (αTocH) biodiscrimination studies. L6 cells were incubated in the presence of high density lipoprotein
(HDL), low density lipoprotein (LDL), and very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) labeled in the lipid moiety with either all-rac-or RRR-[14C]αTocH. These incubations were performed either in the absence or in the presence of exogenously added bovine lipoprotein
lipase (LPL) since skeletal muscle is one of the major expression sites of LPL in vivo. Time-dependent uptake studies (up to 24 h) in the absence of LPL have shown that equipotent doses of all-rac- and RRR-[14C]αTocH (1.36∶1) led to almost identical accumulation of the tracer, independent of the lipoprotein class used as αTocH carrier.
With regard to αTocH donor capacity, it appeared that HDL is the most potent αTocH donor, followed by LDL and VLDL. In the
presence of LPL, all-rac- and RRR-[14C]αTocH uptake was significantly enhanced (between two- and tenfold). Biodiscrimination studies using chiral high-performance
liquid chromatographic analysis with radiometric detection of the corresponding methyl ether derivatives on a Chiralcel OD
column have demonstrated that the 2S-and 2R-isomers of αTocH were taken up in a 1∶1 ratio by L6 cells independent of the absence or presence of LPL. In addition, we
have not observed biodiscrimination between the four 2R-isomers, i.e., there was no preferential accumulation of the RRR-isomer. These data suggest that L6 cells do not discriminate between different αTocH isomers and that the addition of endogenous
LPL significantly enhances the uptake of RRR- and all-rac-αTocH. 相似文献

Both tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and EFA deficiency (EFAD) have been established as causes of marked perturbations in
lipid and lipoprotein metabolism. Excessive levels of circulating TNF-α can coexist with EFAD in various clinical disorders
such as cystic fibrosis and type I diabetes. The present study therefore aimed to investigate their combined effects on lipid
profile and lipoprotein composition by administering TNF-α to EFAD rats. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL), the ratelimiting enzyme
in TG catabolism, was also measured in epididymal adipose tissue. EFAD, after a 4-wk period, induced significant increases
in plasma TG (80%, P<0.001), total cholesterol (TC, 27%, P<0.025), and HDL-cholesterol (HDL-C, 62%). Two hours after the administration of TNF-α, a further rise in TG (43%, P<0.05) was noted in controls, but not EFAD animals. TC and HDL-C were unaffected by TNF-α treatment. In addition, TNF-α modified
lipoprotein-lipid composition. VLDL and HDL2 derived from EFAD rats were depleted in apolipoprotein (apo) E and apo A-II, and enriched in apo A-12 h after TNF-α administration.
Finally, TNF-α decreased adipose tissue LPL activity in both control and EFAD animals. The TNF-α-induced inhibition was more
marked in EFAD rats. The present results demonstrated that TNF-α can amplify or antagonize the effects of EFAD on lipid profile,
lipoprotein composition, and LPL activity. These data also suggest that the host's nutritional status is a determining factor
for the modulating effect of TNF-α on lipid metabolism. 相似文献

Treatment with β-blockers has been reported to be associated with the development of hypertriglyceridemia. The etiology, even
the existence, of this phenomenon is controlverisal. The purpose of our study was to examine whether the nonselective β-blocker
propranolol causes hypertriglyceridemia in the rat and whether its action is mediated by the modulation of lipoprotein lipase
(LPL) messenger RNA (mRNA) accumulation or activity. LPL activity was assayed in fresh tissue by incubation with tritiated
triglycerides. LPL mRNA was quantified in total RNA by slot-blot analysis using a mouse LPL complementary DNA probe. We have
conducted three series of experiments in unanaesthetized rats in order to study the effects of different single doses of propranolol
(1.5 to 6 mg i.p.) and different durations of treatment (15 min to 4 wk). We measured triglyceride and cholesterol levels
in plasma as well as the LPL activity and mRNA levels in the heart and adipose tissue before and after propranolol administration.
In these experiments we did not find any significant decrease in either the activity or the amount of mRNA of lipoprotein
lipase nor was there any change in plasma lipids following treatment. Our results lead us to the conclusion that the nonselective
β-blocker propranolol affects neither the activity nor, the mRNA level of LPL in the rat. 相似文献

Sphingomyelin (SM) and cholesterol (Chol) are major surface lipid constituents of plasma lipoproteins. We investigated the
effects of SM and Chol on the plasma clearance of lipid emulsions as a model for lipoprotein particles in rats. The presence
of Chol facilitated the removal of emulsion particles from plasma, whereas SM delayed particle removal. Preinjection of lactoferrin,
an inhibitor of the apolipoprotein E (apoE) receptor, revaled that the differences in clearance of emulsions were due to the
differences in affinity for the apoE receptor. Measurement of apolipoprotein binding suggested that the balance of apoE and
apoC (apoC-II and apoC-III) bound to emulsions caused the difference in plasma clearance of emulsion particles. That is to
say, SM in the emulsion surface decreased binding of apoE, which led to a longer circulation of emulsion particles in plasma.
Chol, on the other hand, decreased the ratio of apoC to apoE, which may have promoted emulsion uptake through the apoE receptor.
We also examined in vitro lipolysis using immobilized lipoprotein lipase (LPL) in a heparin affinity column. Lipolysis rates were significantly reduced
by the incorporation of SM into the emulsion surface, but not by the incorporation of Chol, indicating that SM in the lipoprotein
surface is an important lipid component regulating LPL-mediated lipolysis. Our results suggest that the presence of SM and
Chol in the lipoprotein surface plays an important role in the circulation behavior and LPL-mediated lipolysis of lipid emulsions
through their effect on the selectivity of plasma protein binding. 相似文献

Apolipoprotein C-III (apoC-III) decreases the apolipoprotein E (apoE)-mediated uptake of lipoprotein remnants by the liver,
and a high plasma concentration of apoC-III in VLDL is associated with hypertriglyceridemia and the risk of coronary heart
disease. In this study, we prepared lipid emulsions containing triolein, phosphatidylcholine and cholesterol as model particles
of lipoproteins, and examined the roles of apoC-III in apoE-mediated uptake of emulsions by HepG2 cells. Cholesterol in emulsion
particles enhanced the apoE-mediated uptake via heparan sulfate proteoglycan and LDL receptor-related protein pathways. The
amount of apoE bound to emulsion particles was increased by the presence of cholesterol at the particle surface, whereas cholesterol
had no effect on the binding amount of apoC-III. Surface cholesterol alleviated the inhibitory effect of apoC-III on apoE
incorporation into the emulsion surface. However, ApoC-III almost completely inhibited the apoE-mediated uptake of cholesterol-containing
emulsions despite sufficient binding of apoE to emulsions. These findings suggest that apoC-III attenuates the binding of
apoE to the lipoprotein surface and apoE-mediated cellular uptake of lipoprotein remnants. Furthermore, cholesterol may affect
these functions of apoC-III and apoE involved in the clearance of lipoprotein remnants. 相似文献

Subjects with echolucent carotid plaques have an increased risk of ischemic cerebrovascular events independent of degree of
stenosis. Low plasma lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity promotes a proatherogenic lipid profile, and delayed chylomicron clearance
is a risk factor for atherosclerosis. This study was conducted to determine plasma LPL activity and postprandial metabolism
of triglycerides in relation to carotid plaque morphology. Plaque echogenicity was assessed by B-mode ultrasound and analysis
of the grey scale median (GSM). Echolucent plaques were defined as GSM ≤ 63 (the median) and echogenic plaques as GSM > 63,
and 57 subjects with carotid plaques and 38 subjects without carotid plaques were recruited. Blood samples were collected
before and at 2-h interval for 8 h after a standard high fat meal. LPL activity and mass was determined before and after heparin
administration. Postheparin LPL activity was decreased in subjects with echolucent plaques compared to subjects with echogenic
plaques (P = 0.06) and to controls (P = 0.04). Plaque echogenicity increased linearly with increasing levels of postheparin LPL activity (P = 0.02) and mass (P = 0.03). Subjects with echolucent plaques had delayed postprandial clearance of chylomicron triglycerides compared to controls
(P = 0.04). Low postheparin LPL activity due to attenuated mobilization of LPL from capillary endothelium may play an important
role in the formation of echolucent plaques by modulation of postprandial lipids and subsequent fat accumulation in the arterial
wall. 相似文献

Characterization of the adipose tissue atrophy induced by peroxisome proliferators in mice 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
In the present study, we characterized the effects of peroxisome proliferators (PP) on adipose tissue in mice. Treatment with
potent PP, such as perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA), 2-methyl-2-(p(1,2,3,4-tetrahydroxy-naphthyl)-phenoxy)propionic acid, (4-chloro-6-(2,3-xylidino)2-pyrimidinylthio) acetic acid, and di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate,
caused dramatic decreases in adipose tissue weight, whereas the moderately potent PP, acetylsalicylic acid, had a relatively
weak effect. This decrease in weight reflects a loss of fat from adipocytes rather than a loss of cells, as demonstrated by
constant DNA content. The dose-dependency and time-course experiments indicate that peroxisome proliferation occurs simultaneously
with or prior to adipose tissue atrophy. Thus, hepatic peroxisome proliferation might result in the increased mobilization
of lipids and lipid utilization in liver. The enhanced adipose tissue hormonesensitive lipase (HSL) activity and down-regulated
lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity observed upon PP treatment might, at least in part, explain the loss of fat via increase FA release from adipocytes and/or decreased FA uptake from the circulation, respectively. In addition, the possible
involvement of the increased tumor necrosis factor α expression found upon PFOA treatment in reducing the insulin sensitivity
of adipose tissue and thereby altering LPL and HSL activities is discussed. 相似文献

Fasting in normal rats produced a fall in hepatic triglyceride lipase (H-TGL) activity as well as lipoprotein lipase (LPL)
activities of adipose tissue and psoas minor muscle. On the other hand, LPL activities of heart and diaphragm were not decreased
by fasting; the former, in fact, was increased significantly. Changes in tissue specific lipase activity caused by withdrawal
of insulin from insulin-treated diabetic animals paralleled in direction the changes induced by starvation of normal rats.
Furthermore, it was shown in the present paper that the tissue specific lipase activity of diabetic rats became stuck in the
starve phase of the starve-feed cycle regardless of dietary intake. The changes of the tissue specific lipase activities,
especially of liver, adipose tissue and heart, appeared to coincide with those of plasma insulin levels. These results strongly
suggest that the tissue specific lipase system is under hormonal regulation by insulin. Streptozotocin diabetes produced hypertriglyceridemia.
The possible mechanism of the hypertriglyceridemia in diabetic animals was discussed in connection with the role of the tissue
specific lipase system in the serum triglyceride metabolism. 相似文献

To test the effects of exchanging dietary complex and simple carbohydrate for fat calories on lipoprotein metabolism, guinea
pigs were fed two different fat/carbohydrate ratios: 2.5∶58% (w/w) or 25∶29% (w/w) with either sucrose or starch as the carbohydrate
source. Animals fed high-fat had higher plasma low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and hepatic cholesterol concentrations than animals
fed low-fat diets (P<0.01). The cholesteryl ester content per particle was higher, and the number of triacylglycerol (TAG) molecules was lower
in very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) and LDL from animals fed high-fat diets. Intake of high-fat/sucrose resulted in higher
plasma LDL concentrations than intake of high-fat/starch, and animals fed low-fat/starch had the highest plasma TAG concentrations
associated with VLDL particles containing more TAG molecules, as well as a TAG-enriched LDL. The activity of plasma lecithin
cholesteryl:acyl transferase (LCAT) was highest in animals fed high-fat/sucrose, and heart lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity
was higher in animals fed high-fat diets. Hepatic apoprotein B/E (apo B/E) receptor number (Bmax) was increased 21% with low-fat diets (P<0.01). These results suggest that the hypercholesterolemia induced by high-fat and by sucrose intake are associated with
a higher plasma LCAT activity which results in a cholesteryl ester-enriched VLDL which, by the action of LPL, might be more
readily converted to LDL through the delipidation cascade leading to downregulation of hepatic apo B/E receptors. The hypertriglyceridemia
associated with low-fat intake may result from increased production of VLDL TAG, which would explain the increased TAG content
and the higher TAG/CE ratio of VLDL from animals fed the low-fat/starch diet. 相似文献

Mouse models are frequently used to study Huntington’s disease (HD). The onset and severity of neuronal and behavioral pathologies vary greatly between HD mouse models, which results from different huntingtin expression levels and different CAG repeat length. HD pathology appears to depend also on the strain background of mouse models. Thus, behavioral deficits of HD mice are more severe in the FVB than in the C57BL/6 background. Alterations in medium spiny neuron (MSN) morphology and function have been well documented in young YAC128 mice in the FVB background. Here, we tested the relevance of strain background for mutant huntingtin (mHTT) toxicity on the cellular level by investigating HD pathologies in YAC128 mice in the C57BL/6 background (YAC128/BL6). Morphology, spine density, synapse function and membrane properties were not or only subtly altered in MSNs of 12-month-old YAC128/BL6 mice. Despite the mild cellular phenotype, YAC128/BL6 mice showed deficits in motor performance. More pronounced alterations in MSN function were found in the HdhQ150 mouse model in the C57BL/6 background (HdhQ150/BL6). Consistent with the differences in HD pathology, the number of inclusion bodies was considerably lower in YAC128/BL6 mice than HdhQ150/BL6 mice. This study highlights the relevance of strain background for mHTT toxicity in HD mouse models. 相似文献

Water-insoluble proteases were prepared by immobilizing lipoprotein lipase (LPL) onto the surface of porous polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) beads by covalent fixation. The relative activity of the immobilized proteases was found to remain high toward small ester substrates, p-nitrophenyl laurate (pNPL). The relative activity of the immobilized LPL by cyanogen bromide (CNBr) method decreased gradually with the decreasing surface concentration of the immobilized LPL on the porous PVA beads. On the contrary, the immobilized LPL by hexamethylene diisocyante (HMDI) method gave an almost constant activity for the substrate hydrolysis within the surface concentration region studied and gave higher relative activity (RA) than that by the CNBr method. The Michaelis constant, Km, and the maximum reaction velocity, Vm, were estimated for the free and the immobilized LPL. The apparent Km was larger for the immobilized LPL than for the free one, and Vm was smaller for the immobilized LPL. The pH, thermal, and storage stabilities of the immobilized LPL were higher than those of the free ones. The initial enzymic activity of the immobilized LPL maintained almost unchanged without any leakage and inactivation of LPL when the batch enzymic reaction was performed repeatedly, indicating excellent durability of the immobilized LPL. © 1993 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 相似文献

An accumulation of evidence shows that endogenous neural stem/progenitor cells (NSPCs) are activated following brain injury such as that suffered during ischemic stroke. To understand the expression patterns of these cells, researchers have developed mice that express an NSPC marker, Nestin, which is detectable by specific reporters such as green fluorescent protein (GFP), i.e., Nestin-GFP mice. However, the genetic background of most transgenic mice, including Nestin-GFP mice, comes from the C57BL/6 strain. Because mice from this background strain have many cerebral arterial branches and collateral vessels, they are accompanied by several major problems including variable ischemic areas and high mortality when subjected to ischemic stroke by occluding the middle cerebral artery (MCA). In contrast, CB-17 wild-type mice are free from these problems. Therefore, with the aim of overcoming the aforementioned defects, we first crossed Nestin-GFP mice (C57BL/6 background) with CB-17 wild-type mice and then developed Nestin-GFP mice (CB-17 background) by further backcrossing the generated hybrid mice with CB-17 wild-type mice. Subsequently, we investigated the phenotypes of the established Nestin-GFP mice (CB-17 background) following MCA occlusion; these mice had fewer blood vessels around the MCA compared with the number of blood vessels in Nestin-GFP mice (C57BL/6 background). In addition, TTC staining showed that infarcted volume was variable in Nestin-GFP mice (C57BL/6 background) but highly reproducible in Nestin-GFP mice (CB-17 background). In a further investigation of mice survival rates up to 28 days after MCA occlusion, all Nestin-GFP mice (CB-17 background) survived the period, whereas Nestin-GFP mice (C57BL/6 background) frequently died within 1 week and exhibited a higher mortality rate. Immunohistochemistry analysis of Nestin-GFP mice (CB-17 background) showed that GFP+ cells were mainly obverted in not only conventional neurogenic areas, including the subventricular zone (SVZ), but also ischemic areas. In vitro, cells isolated from the ischemic areas and the SVZ formed GFP+ neurosphere-like cell clusters that gave rise to various neural lineages including neurons, astrocytes, and oligodendrocytes. However, microarray analysis of these cells and genetic mapping experiments by Nestin-CreERT2 Line4 mice crossed with yellow fluorescent protein (YFP) reporter mice (Nestin promoter-driven YFP-expressing mice) indicated that cells with NSPC activities in the ischemic areas and the SVZ had different characteristics and origins. These results show that the expression patterns and fate of GFP+ cells with NSPC activities can be precisely investigated over a long period in Nestin-GFP mice (CB-17 background), which is not necessarily possible with Nestin-GFP mice (C57BL/6 background). Thus, Nestin-GFP mice (CB-17 background) could become a useful tool with which to investigate the mechanism of neurogenesis via the aforementioned cells under pathological conditions such as following ischemic stroke. 相似文献

We investigated the factors influencing triglycerides (TG) reduction during ezetimibe, alone or combined with orlistat, administration.
Eighty-six obese hypercholesterolemic subjects were prescribed a low-fat diet and were randomized to ezetimibe (E group),
orlistat (O group), or both (OE group) for 6 months. Plasma TG and apolipoprotein (apo) C-III reduction was significantly
greater in the combination group compared with monotherapy. Multivariate analysis showed that in E group apoC-III reduction
and baseline TG levels were independently positively correlated, whereas baseline apoC-II levels were negatively correlated,
with TG lowering. In OE group apoC-III reduction was the only independent contributor to TG reduction. 相似文献

Experiments were carried out on recombinant B6.CBA-D13Mit76C (B6-M76C) and B6.CBA-D13Mit76B (B6-M76B) mouse lines created by transferring a 102.73–118.83 Mbp fragment of chromosome 13, containing the 5-HT1A receptor gene, from CBA or C57BL/6 strains to a C57BL/6 genetic background, correspondingly. We have recently shown different levels of 5-HT1A receptor functionality in these mouse lines. The administration of BDNF (300 ng/mouse, i.c.v.) increased the levels of exploratory activity and intermale aggression only in B6-M76B mice, without affecting depressive-like behavior in both lines. In B6-M76B mice the behavioral alterations were accompanied by a decrease in the 5-HT2A receptor functional activity and the augmentation of levels of serotonin and its main metabolite, 5-HIAA (5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid), in the midbrain. Moreover, the levels of dopamine and its main metabolites, HVA (homovanillic acid) and DOPAC (3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid), were also elevated in the striatum of B6-M76B mice after BDNF treatment. In B6-M76C mice, central BDNF administration led only to a reduction in the functional activity of the 5-HT1A receptor and a rise in DOPAC levels in the midbrain. The obtained data suggest the importance of the 102.73–118.83 Mbp fragment of mouse chromosome 13, which contains the 5-HT1A receptor gene, for BDNF-induced alterations in behavior and the brain monoamine system. 相似文献

U-57,908 (RHC 80267) was shown to inhibit lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in cardiac myocytes from rat hearts; the concentrations
required for inhibition to 50% of control activity were 1.1 μM and 2.5 μM for myocyte homogenates and a post-heparin medium
preparation, respectively. The inhibition of LPL activity by U-57,908 was not changed when the concentration of the triolein
substrate and apolipoprotein CII activator in the assay was reduced. The availability of U-57,908 as a potent and selective
LPL inhibitor may provide a useful experimental approach in studies on lipoprotein metabolism. 相似文献

We investigated the effect of saury oil on the alleviation of metabolic syndrome in mice. Saury oil contains 18% (w/w/) n-3
polyunsaturated fatty acids (n-3 PUFA) and 35% (w/w) monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA). Diabetic KKAy mice were fed a 10%
soybean oil diet (control) or a 10% saury oil diet for 4 weeks, and diet-induced obese C57BL/6J mice were fed a high-fat diet
containing 32% lard (control) or 22% lard plus 10% saury oil for 6 weeks. After the intervention periods, the levels of glucose,
insulin and lipids in plasma had decreased significantly for the saury oil diet group, and insulin sensitivity had improved.
These favorable changes may be attributed to the increased adiponectin and decreased TNFα and resistin levels in plasma. The
saury oil diet also resulted in downregulated expression of the lipogenic genes (SREBP-1, SCD-1, FAS, and ACC) as well as upregulation of the fatty acid oxidative gene, CPT-1, and the energy expenditure-related genes (PGC1α and PGC1β) in white adipose tissue for the diet-induced obese C57BL/6J mice. An increase in n-3 PUFA levels and the concomitant decrease
in the n-6/n-3 PUFA level ratio in serum, white adipose tissue, and liver with a saury oil diet are likely to be involved
in the beneficial changes to the metabolic indicators. MUFA may also play a positive role in remodeling lipid composition.
Based on these mice models, our results suggest a potential use for saury oil for improving metabolic abnormalities. 相似文献

We report the volatile composition of the body scent of male C57BL/6J mice in comparison to the volatile composition of their urine. From a total of 67 components, nitromethane, propanoic acid, dimethyldisulfide, 1-octene, 1-hexanol, hexanoic acid, indole, α- and β-farnesene, and one unidentified component were observed only in the volatiles from the body of mice. On the other hand, 3-penten-2-one, 3-methyl-2-buten-1-ol, 3-methyl-cyclopentanone, p-xylene, 3-hepten-2-one, 2,3-dehydro-exo-brevicomin, benzylmethylketone, and 13 unidentified components were only found in urine volatiles. All other substances were present in the volatiles of both mice and their urine. Aliphatic aldehydes from pentanal to decanal were prominent mouse odor components. Because receptors for these aldehydes have been extensively characterized in the main olfactory organ, these components may be important for mice in recognizing their conspecifics.Electronic Supplementary Material Supplementary material is available in the online version of this article at and is accessible for authorized users. 相似文献
