A Radioimmunoassay for Rat Ghrelin: Evaluation of Method and Effects of Nonylphenol on Ghrelin Secretion in Force-Fed Young Rats
並列摘要
Antiserum YJC 13-31 against the rat ghrelin conjugated to bovine serum albumin (BSA) was produced in the rabbit and a double antibody radioimmunoassay (RIA) for ghrelin has been developed. Characterization results of this antiserum revealed no cross-reaction with human growth hormone and somatostatin. Weak cross-reactions with insulin (0.1%), rat growth hormone (0.1%) and glucagon (0.3%) were observed, which scarcely interfered the assay system. The sensitivity of this RIA was 5 pg per assay tube. With the rat serum samples, the within-assay precision was 7.1% and the between-assay precision was 12.3%. The RIA was also available to detect the ghrelin in rat tissue extracts with good parallelism to the rat ghrelin standard. In application, the serum ghrelin and corticosterone levels in weaned rats were measured by RIA. Gavage of saline was sufficient to raise serum ghrelin from 2.6±0.18 to 6.7±0.7 ng/ml (P＜0.01). Gavage with nonylphenol (NP) suppressed the elevation of serum ghrelin levels in a dose-dependent manner. Besides, gavages of saline elevated the serum levels of corticosterone from 108.8±13.5 to 188.7±23.5 ng/ml (P＜0.01) but the elevation effects of corticosterone from gavages were overcome by NP in the low dose of 50 mg/kg. It can be speculated that ingestion of NP is harmful to young animals during growth and environmental adaptation.
