A field study on 24 weigbt--lifters and an experiment on rats imitating kuman acute food restrictionwere done in order to find out the metabolism of water and electrolytes during the acute weight-reductionperiod and the effect of appropriate supplementation. The results showed that food restriction caused very significant loss of the water and electrolytes withsigns of muscle cramp, dehydration, ketonuria etc. The experimental results in rats were observed duringfood restriction as following: 1. Serum potham and sodium decreased and the serum chloride and magnesium increased significantly. 2. Potassium and sodium contents of cardiac muscle were significantly lower than those of the control group,but potassium content of skeletal muscles was higber. 3. Blood lactic acid (3 minutes after running on a treadmill for half an hour ) was higber than thatbefote food restriction. Supplementation of appropriate minerals is beneficial to correct the above changes and keep the athletesfit and in good form.

Objective To evaluate the effect of α-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and its novel analogue STY39 on the production of tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) in mice with endotoxemia.Methods Female BALB/c mice were randomly divided into eight groups with 9 mice in each group.Endotoxemia was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS,25 μg/kg) and D-galactosamine (D-Gal,100 mg/kg).The animals of the control group were given phosphate buffered solution (PBS) instead.In the experimental groups,the mice were injected intraperitoneally with 2.5 mg/kg α-MSH or STY39 at 1,2 or 3 hours following LPS injection.The orbital blood was collected at different time points,and tissues of lung,liver,and kidney were collected 8 hours after the administration of LPS.The plasma TFPI levels were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and the expression of TFPI mRNA in different tissues was determined with reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Results The plasma TFPI levels (μg/L) began to increase (11.84 ± 1.55) in the endotoxemia mice 4 hours after LPS challenge and reached the peak (23.49 ± 1.12) at 8 hours.α-MSH or STY39 treatment at 1,2 or 3 hours after LPS challenge could significantly increase the TFPI content,with the best drug effect at 1 hour after LPS challenge (the blood was collected 8 hours after LPS challenge,α-MSH group:58.79 ± 2.67 vs.28.49 ± 1.69,STY39 group:71.08 ± 2.13 vs.28.49 ± 1.69,both P<0.01),and the effect of STY39 was better than that of α-MSH (P<0.01).A small amount of TFPI mRNA expression was observed in each tissue of the healthy mice.After LPS challenge,TFPI mRNA expression was increased in all the tissues,especially in the lung,liver and kidney.α-MSH or STY39treatment at 1 hour after LPS challenge could significantly up-regulate the expression of TFPI mRNA in the lung and liver (A value,α-MSH in lung:51.10 ±2.89 vs.32.43 ±2.51,STY39 in lung:72.11 ±3.48 vs.32.43 ±2.51;α-MSH in liver:43.21 ± 2.12 vs.29.29 ± 2.06,STY39 in liver:66.82 ± 1.76 vs.29.29 ± 2.06,both P<0.01).The treatment with STY39 at 1 hour after LPS challenge could significantly up-regulate the expression of TFPI mRNA in the kidney (A value:45.21 ± 1.80 vs.30.44 ± 2.23,P<0.01),but the treatment with α-MSH had no obvious effect (A value:24.61 ± 1.98 vs.30.44 ± 2.23,P>0.05).The enhancing effect of early administration of STY39 on TTPI mRNA expression in the lung,liver and kidney tissues of endotoxemia mice was more powerful than that of α-MSH (all P<0.01).Conclusion The early administration of α-MSH or STY39 may up-regulate TFPI production in the mice with endotoxemia,and the effect of STY39 is superior to α-MSH.

Objective To study the effect of alpha-melanocyte stimulating hormone (α-MSH) and its novel analogue ( STY39 ) on the production of tissue factor ( TF ) and tissue factor pathway inhibitor (TFPI) stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in primary mouse brain microvascular endothelial cells (MBMECs). Methods Female BALB/c mice were selected,purified and primarily cultured for 5 to 7 days. Immunofluorescence assay was use to detect the Ⅷ factor related antigen and identify the MBMEC model. The MBMECs were divided into eight groups:PBS control group, LPS stimulation group, after LPS stimulation 1,2,and 3 h adding 10 -7 mol/Lα-MSH groups or STY39 group (LPS+α-MSH,LPS+STY39) ( n=4 wholes in each group) . The cell culture supernatant and cells were collected at 6 and 8 h after LPS stimulation. An enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay was used to detect the concentrations of TF and TFPI in cell supernatant. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression levels of TF mRNA. Results (1) LPS could induce MBMEC to produce TF and TFPI proteins. The level of TF in the cell culture supernatant reached the peak at 6 h,and the level of TFPI reached the peak at 8 h. (2) At 1,2,and 3 h after LPS stimulating MBMEC,10 -7mol/L α-MSH or STY39 were given. They could significantly decrease the TF protein content in the cell supernatant (P<0. 01),especially the effects of giving α-MSH or STY39 were most significant at 1 h after LPS stimulation (P<0. 05). The effect of STY39 for decreasing TF content was more significant than that of α-MSH (P<0. 05);however,α-MSH and STY39 did not have significant up-regulating effects for LPS inducing MBMEC to produce TFPI. (3) After LPS stimulation,10 -7 mol/Lα-MSH or STY39 were given at different time points. They significantly down-regulated the expression level of MBMEC TF mRNA (P<0. 01). The effect was most significant at 1 h time point (P<0. 05),but there was no significant difference in the effects betweenα-MSH and STY39. Conclusion Bothα-MSH and STY39 can suppress LPS-induced primary MBMEC to produce TF protein and express TF mRNA,and the effect of administration is better after 1 h LPS stimulation. The suppressive effect of STY39 on the production of TF protein is superior toα-MSH.
