The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of ovariectomy (OVX) on intestinal alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity in rats. The calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) contents and the mechanical strength of bone were decreased significantly by OVX. Two kinds of mRNAs of rat intestinal ALP (RTIN-1 and RTIN-2) were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). In OVX rats, the level of RTIN-2 mRNA was lowered significantly, while that of RTIN-1 mRNA did not change. This result was compatible with the results of enzymatic activity. This finding suggests the possibility that OVX affects bone metabolism not only directly but also in an indirect way through an intestinal Ca and/or P metabolism via regulation of intestinal RTIN-2 ALP expression.

D012333 RNA, Messenger RNA sequences that serve as templates for protein synthesis. Bacterial mRNAs are generally primary transcripts in that they do not require post-transcriptional processing. Eukaryotic mRNA is synthesized in the nucleus and must be exported to the cytoplasm for translation. Most eukaryotic mRNAs have a sequence of polyadenylic acid at the 3' end, referred to as the poly(A) tail. The function of this tail is not known for certain, but it may play a role in the export of mature mRNA from the nucleus as well as in helping stabilize some mRNA molecules by retarding their degradation in the cytoplasm.

D016133 Polymerase Chain Reaction In vitro method for producing large amounts of specific DNA or RNA fragments of defined length and sequence from small amounts of short oligonucleotide flanking sequences (primers). The essential steps include thermal denaturation of the double-stranded target molecules, annealing of the primers to their complementary sequences, and extension of the annealed primers by enzymatic synthesis with DNA polymerase. The reaction is efficient, specific, and extremely sensitive. Uses for the reaction include disease diagnosis, detection of difficult-to-isolate pathogens, mutation analysis, genetic testing, DNA sequencing, and analyzing evolutionary relationships.
