Górski, J., Górska, M. and Hryniewicz, A.: Effect of cold exposure on the concentration of triglyceride in the liver of the rat. Acta physiol, pol., 1980, 39 (2): 136-142. The aim of the present study was to examine an effect of cold exposure on the concentration of triglycerides (TG) in the rat's liver. The rats were divided into the following groups: control, fed with oil, treated with hydrocortisone, fed with oil and treated with hydrocortisone, treated with noradrenaline. The rats exposed to cold were kept in wire cages (one rat in one cage) in the cold room at temperature +2°C. They had free access to food (pellet diet for rodents) and water. In the control group the exposure to cold increased mildly (though significantly) the TG concentration after 1 and 3 h and had no effect after 2 and 24 h. It did not affect the concentration of plasma free fatty acids (FFA). At room temperature feeding with oil (2 ml/100 g of body weight) alone, and combined with hydrocortisone treatment (5 mg/100 g of body weight) as well as treatment with noradrenaline (0.1 mg/100 g of body weight) had no effect on the liver TG concentration, although the concentration of plasma FFA was increased. Exposure to cold for 3 h increased markedly the liver TG concentration in each of those groups. It is concluded that exposure to cold elicits a mechanism, which in the presence of elevated plasma FFA concentration induces accumulation of TG in the liver.
Interleukin-6 (IL-6) in addition to its role in the immune system has the potential to modulate several brain functions including learning and memory processes. In the present study we investigated the role of IL-6 in CNS function in male mice not expressing IL-6 (C57BL/6J IL6-/-tm 1 Kopf) and wild type mice (WT) used as controls. The animals were kept in standard conditions with water and food available ad libitum except during experiments. All testing took place between 8.30 AM and 12.30 PM. Each group consisted of 13 animals. In order to evaluate a role of endogenous IL-6 in cognitive functions “object recognition test” for the evaluation of recognition memory was used. In an attempt to evaluate whether observed effect was memory specifi c, the level of anxiety and psychomotor activity of mice was evaluated in an “elevated plus maze” test and in an open fi eld, respectively. Recognition memory, measured by the difference in exploration of the new object and a duplicate of the familiar one, presented 1 h earlier, was impaired in IL-6 defi cient mice. Moreover, lack of IL-6 signifi cantly attenuated locomotor and exploratory activity measured in an open fi eld test and enhanced anxiety evaluated in an “elevated plus maze” test. Results of this study indicate that IL-6 defi ciency impairs recognition memory, attenuates locomotor and exploratory activity and enhances anxiety in mice. The study was supported by the Polish Ministry of Science grant Nr 2P05B01826.
