High impact information on Defecation

  • Mutants defective in the synaptotagmin gene, called snt-1, exhibit severe behavioral abnormalities that are characteristic of deficiencies in synaptic function, including severe locomotion, feeding, and defecation defects [11].
  • Emotionality in mice is such a trait, defined here by covariation in activity and defecation in a novel environment and emergence into the open arms of an elevated plus maze [12].
  • In Caenorhabditis elegans, the melastatin-type transient receptor potential (TRPM) channel, especially TRPM7, was suggested as being involved in defecation rhythm [13].
  • RESULTS: Both rat groups had similar systemic responses to stress, as assessed by changes in weight, corticosterone levels, and defecation [14].
  • The giant migrating contractions initiated by vasopressin may account for the defecation associated with pharmacological doses of vasopressin [15].

Associations of Defecation with chemical compounds

  • In 85% of experiments with guanethidine, neostigmine, glucose, and castor oil, giant migrating contractions occurred before defecation [30].
  • Associated with these responses, the total volume of infusate tolerated before defecation was less with oleate than with control solutions (311 +/- 21 ml vs. 1049 +/- 71 ml; p less than 0.01) [31].
  • Giant migrating contractions associated with defecation were initiated by the highest dose of vasopressin [15].
  • Fecal propionate was significantly correlated with the percentage of stool retained after defecation (rs = 0.82, p less than 0.01) [32].
  • Antalarmin significantly inhibited a repertoire of behaviors associated with anxiety and fear such as body tremors, grimacing, teeth gnashing, urination, and defecation [33].
 

Gene context of Defecation

  • To elucidate the mechanism, we studied flr-1 mutants, which show very short defecation cycle periods [34].
  • Here, we show that the flr-4 gene, whose mutants exhibit very short defecation cycle periods, encodes a novel serine/threonine protein kinase with a carboxyl terminal hydrophobic region [35].
  • RNA interference with ubc-25 caused late-onset paralysis of most muscular functions such as locomotion, egg laying, and defecation [36].
  • However, freezing was reduced and flight and escape behavior were increased in GAD65-/- mice compared to their wild type and heterozygous littermates, while corticosterone levels and defecation rates did not differ between genotypes [37].
  • However, CRF hnRNA expression in the pPVN and the rise in corticosterone and defecation induced by WAS or restraint were blunted in colitic rats [38].
