Adaptation of the small intestine during pregnancy and lactation in the rat.

ABSTRACT: During pregnancy and lactation in the rat the small intestine in general and the mucosal epithelium in particular gain weight. The specific activities of sucrase, lactate dehydrogenase and succinate-tetrazolium reductase remain constant and those of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and isocitrate dehydrogenase increase. There is no evidence that the reported decrease in absorption per unit area or weight of mucosal epithelium during pregnancy and lactation is due to decreases in enzyme activities within the epithelium. The pattern of enzyme change shows that the response of the gut to the stimuli of pregnancy and lactation must be a complex one, possibly involving increases in the specific activities of some enzymes.

Growth of the maternal intestine during pregnancy and lactation [gut pregnancy]

Project description:The organs of female animals can be dramatically enlarged and metabolically remodelled by reproduction. The cellular changes and genetic programmes that initiate and sustain these transformations remain largely uncharacterised. It is also unclear whether the mechanisms that drive reproductive growth are shared between organs, or with other environmental triggers of adult organ growth. We have tackled these questions in mouse mothers, whose intestines provide a striking and genetically tractable example of reproductive organ resizing. We find that intestinal remodelling during reproduction is anticipatory of reproductive needs and distinct from diet-induced intestinal resizing.

Growth of the maternal intestine during pregnancy and lactation [Xenium]

Project description:The organs of many female animals grow and are metabolically remodelled by reproduction; this process has been historically overlooked. Using the intestine of mouse mothers, a striking and genetically tractable example of reproductive organ resizing, we find that reproductive intestinal remodelling is anticipatory and distinct from diet- or microbiota-induced intestinal resizing. Reproductive remodelling involves partially irreversible elongation of the intestine and fully reversible growth of its epithelium, which ensues from an expansion of the isthmus progenitors, increased progenitor proliferation and accelerated migration of differentiated cells. Through spatiotemporal analysis of gene expression, we identify induction of the SGLT3a transporter in a subset of enterocytes as one of the earliest reproductive hallmarks within the intestinal epithelium. Electrophysiological and genetic interrogations in vivo and in organoids indicate that SGLT3a does not sustain broad digestive functions or enterocyte health. Instead, SGLT3a detects protons and sodium to extrinsically support the expansion of adjacent Fgfbp1-positive isthmus progenitors and gut epithelial growth during reproduction. Our findings reveal unanticipated molecular, cell and organ specificity to physiological organ remodelling, raising the possibility that organ- and state-specific growth programmes could be leveraged to improve pregnancy outcomes or prevent maladaptive consequences of such growth.

Metabolism of sheep adipose tissue during pregnancy and lactation. Adaptation and regulation.

Project description:1. Changes in the mean volume, the rate of fatty acid and acylglycerol glycerol synthesis, the activity of lipoprotein lipase and the numbers and affinities of insulin receptors of subcutaneous adipocytes are reported for sheep at different stages of pregnancy and lactation. In addition, the serum concentrations of insulin, progesterone, prolactin, choriomammotropin, somatotropin, glucose, acetate, L-lactate, glycerol and unesterified fatty acids are reported for these sheep. 2. A switch from lipid accumulation to net lipid mobilization accompanied by a decline in the capacity for lipid synthesis, occurred at the onset of the last third of pregnancy. Net lipid mobilization continued during lactation. 3. The changes that occurred in the serum concentrations of the various hormones listed above are discussed in relation to their possible roles in the modulation of adipose tissue metabolism in sheep during pregnancy and lactation. The observations are compared with those from previous studies on the hormonal control of adipose tissue metabolism in the rat during pregnancy and lactation.

Prednisone Pharmacokinetics During Pregnancy and Lactation.

Project description:To evaluate the steady-state pharmacokinetics of prednisone and its metabolite prednisolone in pregnant and lactating female subjects, 19 subjects received prednisone (4-40 mg/day orally) in early (n = 3), mid (n = 9), and late (n = 13) pregnancy as well as postpartum with (n = 2) and without (n = 5) lactation. Serial blood and urine samples were collected over 1 dosing interval. Prednisone and its metabolite, prednisolone, steady-state noncompartmental pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated. During pregnancy, prednisone apparent oral clearance increased with dose (35.1 ± 11.4 L/h with 5 mg, 52.6 ± 5.2 L/h with 10 mg, and 64.3 ± 6.9 L/h with 20 mg, P = .001). Similarly, unbound prednisone apparent oral clearance increased with dose. In addition, prednisolone renal clearance increased with dose (0.3 ± 0.3 L/h with 5 mg, 0.5 ± 0.4 L/h with 10 mg, and 1.3 ± 1.1 L/h with 20 mg, P = .002). Higher prednisone (r = 0.57, P ? .05) and prednisolone (r = 0.75, P ? .05) concentrations led to a higher percentage of unbound drug. Breast-milk/plasma area under the concentration-time curve ratios were 0.5-0.6 for prednisone and 0.02-0.03 for prednisolone. Relative infant doses were 0.35% to 0.53% and 0.09% to 0.18%, for prednisone and prednisolone, respectively. Prednisone and prednisolone exhibit dose- and concentration-dependent pharmacokinetics during pregnancy, and infant exposure to these agents via breast milk is minimal.
