由于雌激素水平下降,老年马的铁代谢发生变化,影响铁的调节. 这项研究揭示了马匹的"雌激素-铁轴",将雌激醇-17β与铁,费里丁和肝素水平联系起来.
科学领域:
- 生殖内分泌学 生殖内分泌学
- 动物生理学 动物生理学
- 矿物代谢的矿物代谢.
背景情况:
- 雌激素在女性和动物模型的铁稳态中发挥作用,这表明"雌激素-铁轴".
- 衰老与雌激素水平的降低有关,可能会损害铁调节机制.
- 之前的研究表明,周期性和孕的铁状况与雌激素模式之间存在联系.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究不同年龄的循环西班牙纯种马匹中铁 (Fe),费里丁 (Ferr),肝素 (Hepc) 和雌二醇-17β (E2) 之间的关系.
- 为了阐明潜在的"雌激素-铁轴"在关于老化和生殖周期的马匹中的作用.
主要方法:
- 在四个年龄组 (4-6,7-9,10-12,>12岁) 分析了40只西班牙纯种马.
- 血液样本是在雌性周期的特定日 (-5,0,+5,+16) 收集的.
- 测量血清中的Fe,Ferr,Hepc和E2水平.
主要成果:
- 较年长的母马 (>12岁) 与较年轻的母马 (4-6岁) 相比,显示出血清酸和肝酸的显著增加,血清铁的降低.
- 雌激素-17β水平在7-9岁的母马中最高,与费里丁和肝素有显著的负相关性,与铁有积极相关性.
- 铁和费里丁与肝素呈现负相关性,这表明肝素调节铁的调节.
结论:
- 雌激醇-17β与马匹的铁代谢之间存在直接关系,主要是通过抑制Hepcidin.
- 随着年龄的增长,降低的E2水平会减少Hepcidin的抑制,导致储存铁的增加和循环自由铁的减少.
- 这些发现支持马雌激素周期中存在"雌激素-铁轴",受与年龄相关的荷尔蒙变化影响.

Hormonal Control of the Ovarian Cycle
Before puberty, the hypothalamus releases GnRH in a low frequency, low amplitude pulsatile manner. This along with the immature hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis activity, results in low estrogen levels and the absence of a fully functional ovarian cycle. At puberty, GnRH secretion increases in both frequency and...

Hormonal Regulation of the Menstrual Cycle
At puberty, GnRH begins a pulsatile release pattern, which triggers the anterior pituitary gland to secrete follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) and luteinizing hormone (LH). The frequency and amplitude of GnRH pulses vary across the menstrual cycle, with faster pulses favoring LH release and slower pulses favoring FSH...
Bone Disorders
Bone deposition is also affected by the levels of sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone that promote osteoblast activity and bone matrix synthesis. When the level of these hormones decreases due to aging, it causes a reduction in bone deposition. As a result, bone resorption by osteoclasts...
