摘要
中缅树鼩(Tupaia belangeri)为东洋界特有小型哺乳动物。本研究测定了中缅树鼩冷驯化实验组(7d、14d、21d、28d)与对照组(0d)中肝线粒体蛋白含量、呼吸状态Ⅲ和状态Ⅳ的变化,探讨中缅树鼩对不同冷环境的适应情况以及肝产热的机理。结果表明,在冷驯化条件下,中缅树鼩产热显著增加,与对照组相比,实验组肝总蛋白含量、肝线粒体蛋白含量、呼吸状态Ⅲ和状态Ⅳ有着显著的提高,在28d后分别增加了39.9%、39.3%、84.9%、181.1%,因此,肝在中缅树鼩冷适应产热过程中具有重要的作用。同时,从生理生态方面为树鼩的岛屿起源学说提供依据。
The Tree Shrew ( Tupaia belangeri ) is a unique study their cold adaptive capacity in cold environment, the species of small mammals in the Oriental realm. In order to Ⅲ state and the Ⅳ state of mitochondrial respiration, the protein content of mitochondria of liver were measured under the condition of being cold exposure (5 ± 1 ℃, 12L: 12D) during different times [0 d(control), 7 d, 14 d, 21 d, 28 d]. Compared with the controls, the total protein, mitochondrial protein, and the Ⅲ state and the IV state of mitochondrial respiration of liver greatly increased with prolonged cold exposure ( increased 39.9 % , 39.3 % , 84.9 % , 181.1% , respectively, after 28 d). The result indicates that the liver plays a key role of the adaptive thermogenesis during cold exposure in the T. belangeri. The physiological ecology evidence is also given to the island origin of T. belangeri.
