    RIA for salmon IGFBP

    Full text link
    Salmon plasma contains at least three insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs) with molecular masses of 41, 28 and 22 kDa. The 41-kDa IGFBP is similar to mammalian IGFBP-3 in size, type of glycosylation and physiological responses. In this study, we developed a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for the 41-kDa IGFBP. The 41-kDa IGFBP purified from serum was used for antibody production and assay standard. Binding of three different preparations of tracer were examined; 125I-41-kDa IGFBP, 125I-41-kDa IGFBP cross-linked with IGF-I (125I-41-kDa IGFBP/IGF-I) and 41-kDa IGFBP/125I-IGF-I. Only binding of 41-kDa IGFBP/125I-IGF-I was not affected by added IGFs, and therefore it was chosen for the tracer in the RIA. Plasma 41-kDa IGFBP levels measured by RIA were increased by growth hormone treatment (178.9 ± 4.9 ng/ml) and decreased after fasting (95.0 ± 7.0 ng/ml). The molarities of plasma 41-kDa IGFBP and total IGF-I were comparable, and they were positively correlated, suggesting that salmon 41-kDa IGFBP is a main carrier of circulating IGF-I in salmon, as is mammalian IGFBP-3 in mammals. During the parr-smolt transformation (smoltification) of coho salmon, plasma 41-kDa IGFBP levels showed a transient peak (182.5 ± 10.3 ng/ml) in March and stayed relatively constant thereafter, whereas IGF-I showed peak levels in March and April. Differences in the molar ratio between 41-kDa IGFBP and IGF-I possibly influence availability of IGF-I in the circulation during smoltification

    “Russia and Turkey in the Geopolitics of Eurasia & the Theory of Median Space: Thesis-Synthesis-Antithesis”

    Full text link
    The aim of this thesis is to address the issue of the broader geopolitical architecture of Eurasia using as a case study the Russian-Turkish diachronic relations which are being examined through an original and fresh geopolitical/geocultural theoretical framework introduced also in the pages of this research. The introduction presents a brief overview of the aims, issues and questions that this study expects to achieve, approach and bring up for discussion. This research is divided into three parts and each part contains two chapters. Part I deals with the general theoretical framework within which this study is going to be delivered. Chapter 1 critically assesses the existing theoretical geopolitical debate and aims to designate the reasons for the urgent need for the articulation of a new theoretical perspective. Chapter 2 introduces an original approach in the geopolitical theory under the label of the ‘Integrated Geopolitical/Geocultural Theory of the Median Space’. The suggested model makes two major propositions. First that there is a diachronic ‘Median Space’ identity in a specific geographical space which was never disappeared in the midst of the eternal ‘East’-‘West’ competition and is surviving even today. Second, within the Median Space region there is a specific ‘pattern’ on the implementation of International Relations which also remained unchanged throughout the centuries since all the regional and extra-regional actors are operating, consciously or unconsciously, according to its precepts. Having presented this newly introduced framework Part II and Part III of the research are trying through textual and empirical analysis, respectively to provide the necessary evidence that strengthen the abovementioned new geopolitical model. Part II through a historical-sociological-anthropological perspective tries to prove the first proposition about the viability of a Median Space mentality. Thus, as a case-study, it examines the diachronic geocultural and geopolitical identity of Russia and Turkey in chapters 3 and 4, respectively. Part III by engaging International Relations macroscopic and microscopic analysis through chapters 5 and 6, respectively aims to address the second proposition about the specific pattern that is being followed by all actors interacting in the Median Space. Chapter 5, in a macroscopic way examines the suggested pattern through a historical scrutiny of the relations between the spaces that nowadays is being characterized as Turkey and Russia. Chapter 6, in a microscopic way, depicts the contemporary developments of the region and tries to extract the evidence that could support the second Median Space proposition. Initially this chapter examines the ‘energy’ component through an analysis of the contemporary ‘energy game’ and then it approaches the ‘security’ component by moving from a micro-level to a macro-level International Relations analysis starting from the Caucasus area and expanding through the Black Sea-Straits-Aegean system to the whole Median Space region. Conclusion recapitulates the findings of this research

    Salmon IGFBP-1 RIA

    Fish plasma/serum contains multiple insulin-like growth factor binding proteins (IGFBPs), although their identity and physiological regulation are poorly understood. In salmon plasma, at least three IGFBPs with molecular masses of 22, 28 and 41 kDa are detected by Western ligand blotting. The 22-kDa IGFBP has recently been identified as a homolog of mammalian IGFBP-1. In the present study, a radioimmunoassay (RIA) for salmon IGFBP-1 was established and regulation of IGFBP-1 by food intake and temperature, and changes in IGFBP-1 during smoltification were examined. Purified IGFBP-1 from serum was used for standard, tracer preparation and antiserum production. Crosslinking 125I-IGFBP-1 with salmon IGF-I eliminated interference by IGFs. The RIA had little cross-reactivity with salmon 28- and 41-kDa IGFBPs (< 0.5%) and measured IGFBP-1 as low as 0.1 ng/ml. Fasted fish had significantly higher IGFBP-1 levels than fed fish (21.6 ± 4.6 ng/ml vs 3.0 ± 2.2 ng/ml). Plasma IGFBP-1 was measured in individually tagged one-year old coho salmon reared for 10 weeks under four different feeding regimes as follows: high constant (2% body weight/day), medium constant (1% body weight/day), high variable (2% body weight/day - 0.5% body weight/day) and medium variable (1% body weight/day - 0.5% body weight/day). Fish fed with high ration had lower IGFBP-1 than those with medium ration. Circulating IGFBP-1 increased following a drop in feeding ration to 0.5% and returned to the basal levels when feeding ration was increased. Another group of coho salmon were reared for nine weeks under different water temperatures (11℃ or 7℃) and feeding rations (1.75, 1 or 0.5% body weight/day). Circulating IGFBP-1 levels were separated by temperature during the first four weeks; a combined effect of temperature and feeding ration was seen in week seven; only feeding ration influenced IGFBP-1 level thereafter. These results indicate that IGFBP-1 is responsive to moderate nutritional and temperature changes. There was a clear trend that circulating IGFBP-1 levels were negatively correlated with body weight, condition factor (body weight/body length3 x 100), growth rates and circulating 41-kDa IGFBP levels but not IGF-I levels. During parr-smolt transformation of coho salmon, IGFBP-1 levels showed a transient peak in late April, which was opposite to changes in condition factor. Together, these findings suggest that salmon IGFBP-1 is inhibitory to IGF-action. In addition, IGFBP-1 responds to moderate changes in dietary ration and temperature, and shows a significant negative relationship to condition factor
