Insulin is present in chicken eggs and early chick embryos.

Abstract:

:We showed that insulin appears in the chick embryo before beta-cells are recognizable, as well as in the egg constituents even before fertilization. Acid-ethanol extracts of 2- to 8-day-old embryos were gel-filtered on Sephadex G-50. The peak of immunoreactive insulin chromatographed in a position corresponding to that of authentic insulin. The immunoreactive insulin extracted from embryos was approximately 2 ng/g wet wt during early embryogenesis (days 2, 3, and 4), with a 2- to 3- fold increase by days 5 and 6, in conjunction with pancreatic development. The heads of the embryos contributed 22-23% of the total insulin on days 3 and 4, but only 5% by day 5. Based on its reactivity in a pork insulin RIA, chicken insulin RIA, and rat adipocyte bioassay, we concluded that the material is very similar to avian (chicken or turkey) rather than mammalian type insulin. Similar immunological and biological insulin-like activity [but at much lower concentrations (0.2-0.8 ng/ml)] were recovered from the gel-filtered acid-ethanol extracts of yolk and white of unfertilized and fertilized eggs. This study, which shows that insulin is present at a very early stage in ontogeny, extends observations that insulin is native to organisms that lack pancreatic islets, including flies, worms, and microbes.

  • Sertoli cell function varies along the seminiferous tubule: the proportion and response of transferrin secretors differ between stage-associated tubule segments.

These findings raised the possibility that differences in the functional type of Sertoli cells from one location to another may account in part for the stage-related variation in TF release along ...
