- W62893973 abstract "Immuno-peptides may have positive or negative effects on gonadal steroidogenesis, but few have been tested outside of rodent species or in vivo. In Exp. 1, thymulin, a secreted nonapeptide of the thymus, was incubated (1, 10, 100, or 1,000 ng/mL) with testicular minces (sampled at 3, 6, or 12 h) from Chinese Meishan boars of high gonadotropin/testicular steroidogenic function (n = 8) and White composite boars of European origin (n = 8 ) to test the hypothesis that thymulin could augment hCG stimulation of testicular androgen concentrations. Thymulin alone had few effects on androgen concentrations (testosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone+dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate [DHEA+DHEASO4]) in Meishan boar testicular incubates. In minces from White composites incubated with thymulin, testosterone concentrations were generally below control values (P<.05), but DHEA+DHEASO4 concentrations were unaffected. Thymulin had no effect on estrone concentrations in testicular incubates of White composite boars but stimulated estrone concentrations in Meishan testicular incubates. Thymulin plus hCG increased testosterone (3 and 6 h of incubation; P<.05) but not DHEA+DHEASO4 concentrations in White composite testicular incubates. Thymulin plus hCG did not alter androgen or estrogen concentrations from control values in Meishan testicular incubates. In Exp.2 with a protocol similar to that of Exp. 1 for testicular minces from White composite boars (n = 30), thymulin increased testosterone concentrations during the early incubation period (1 to 3 h; P<.05) and depressed testosterone concentrations at later times (6 h; P<.05). Thymulin synergized with hCG in stimulating increases in testosterone and DHEA+DHEASO4 concentrations (P<.05) but had no effect on estrone concentrations in vitro. Thymulin was tested in vivo in boars from three genetic lines selected for high, medium, or normal circulating LH concentrations (Meishan, select White composites, and control White composites, respectively). Injection of thymulin i.v. (4.4, 44.4, or 444.4 ng/kg BW) generally increased circulating testosterone concentrations (2 to 3 h later; P<.01), but the response was dependent on the boar's general circulating LH concentrations and dose of thymulin. Overall results from these studies support the hypothesis of a thymulin augmentation of LH stimulation of androgen increases in vitro and in vivo in the testis of boars." @default.
