Disease relevance of Hibernation

 

Psychiatry related information on Hibernation

  • This study compared the survival of human fetal striatal tissue that had been stored for 24 h in a defined hibernation medium with that of fresh human fetal striatal tissue following xenotransplantation in a rat model of Huntington's disease (HD) [6].
  • Androgen levels were undetectable in torpid squirrels, elevated in animals sampled during periodic arousals, and elevated in most males within 3 weeks after terminating hibernation [7].
  • Thus animals emerging from the hypometabolic states of hibernation or daily torpor exhibit an increase in SWA akin to sleep deprivation [8].
 

High impact information on Hibernation

  • Circannual control of hibernation by HP complex in the brain [9].
  • In this study, we used a combination of 13C-NMR spectroscopy, GC-MS analysis, and tissue biochemical measurements to track glucose through intracellular metabolism in intact dogs infused with [1-13C]glucose during a 3-4-h period of acute ischemic hibernation [10].
  • Here, we report that genes for pancreatic lipase and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase isozyme 4 are up-regulated in the heart during hibernation [11].
  • The results indicate that persistence of vasopressin release in the lateral septum of the European hamster during winter can prevent hibernation [12].
  • Nitric oxide and short-term hibernation: friend or foe [13]?

Associations of Hibernation with chemical compounds

  • In this study, we show that histamine neuronal systems undergo major changes during hibernation that are consistent with such a role [29].
  • To evaluate how the activity of a well-established neurotransmitter pathway is modulated by a behavioral state, 3H-spiperone binding sites and dopamine (DA) and DA metabolite concentrations were measured in the striata of ground squirrels in 5 phases of the hibernation cycle [19].
  • The tissue levels of histamine and its first metabolite tele-methylhistamine were also elevated throughout the brain of hibernating animals, suggesting an increase in histamine turnover during hibernation, which occurs without an increase in histidine decarboxylase mRNA expression [29].
  • The MVF was higher where both thallium and MRI predicted hibernation (0.77+/-0.07) than in segments predicted by thallium alone (0.69+/-0.13, p < 0.05) [30].
  • RESULTS: Thallium was most sensitive in predicting hibernation (88%) and MRI most specific (84%); and, although there was good agreement between thallium and tetrofosmin (85%), agreement between MRI and thallium (59%) or tetrofosmin (59%) was poor [30].
 

Gene context of Hibernation

  • Activities of ERK-activated kinases also responded to hibernation: MAPKAPK-1 rose in muscle and brain, MAPKAPK-2 decreased in liver and kidney but rose in the other three organs, and p70S6K kinase activity decreased kidney and heart [31].
  • ERK1/2 activities increased significantly in muscle and brain during hibernation but decreased in kidney and liver [31].
  • The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects on fetal dopaminergic tissue of GDNF-supplemented hibernation for extended periods of 6 to 15 days [32].
  • Here we report significant increases in mRNA levels for Ucp2 in WAT (1. 6-fold) and Ucp3 in skeletal muscle (3-fold) during hibernation [33].
  • These results indicate the potential for a role of UCP2 and UCP3 in thermal homeostasis during hibernation and indicate that parallel mechanisms and multiple tissues could be important for nonshivering thermoregulation in mammals [33].
