Somatostatin-28-(1-12)-like immunoreactivity (S28(1-12)LI) in brains of Eck fistula dogs, prepared as an experimental model of hepatic encephalopathy, was measured. Significant reductions of S28(1-12)LI were observed in all cortical regions of Eck fistula dogs. The reductions of S28(1-12)LI were significantly correlated with decreases in somatostatin-14-like immunoreactivity (S14LI) in the cortical region. The ratios of S28(1-12)LI to S14LI in all cortical regions were not different between Eck fistula and normal dogs. Additionally, no difference in gel chromatographic profiles of S28(1-12)LI and S14LI was observed between Eck fistula and normal dogs. These results imply that reduced somatostatin immunoreactivity in hepatic encephalopathy may be caused not by altered degradation but by reduced production of prosomatostatin. Our S28(1-12)LI assay system could detect prosomatostatin(1-76) and S28(1-12) and the S14LI system prosomatostatin, S28 and S14. S28(1-12)LI/S14LI ratios in cortex were 0.64-0.83 and these were significantly different from those (1.02-1.36) in thalamus, midbrain and medulla. Relative proportions of prosomatostatin (20%) and S28 (23-24%) in cortex were larger than those (6-7% and 5-7%, respectively) in thalamus, midbrain and medulla. The differential distribution of these molecular forms suggests that processing of prosomatostatin in cortex may be different from that in thalamus, midbrain and medulla.

D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
D001921 Brain The part of CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM that is contained within the skull (CRANIUM). Arising from the NEURAL TUBE, the embryonic brain is comprised of three major parts including PROSENCEPHALON (the forebrain); MESENCEPHALON (the midbrain); and RHOMBENCEPHALON (the hindbrain). The developed brain consists of CEREBRUM; CEREBELLUM; and other structures in the BRAIN STEM. Encephalon
