项目摘要
The growth and maintenance of the brain require substantial investments of energy, most especially for organisms which have evolved very large and complex brains. One of the most defining characteristics for the human species and the other primates is large brain size relative to body size. Yet, despite having larger brains than most other mammals, human and nonhuman primates do not show an increase in their basal metabolic rate (a measure of energy utilization by the body) compared to other mammals, raising the question of how the high energetic cost of such large brains is met. This trend suggests that there is an energetic trade-off with another energy-demanding tissue in the body when brain size increases; if we are not using more energy overall, then energy that could be invested in another part of our body is instead likely being utilized to fuel our large brains. Preliminary research shows that primates have low muscle mass when compared to other animals, and humans, who have the most notable increase in brain size, show a 50% reduction in overall muscle mass when compared with other mammals. This research therefore tests the hypothesis that skeletal muscle is in direct competition with the brain for glucose and oxygen, such that the high energetic demands of large brain size are met through constraining muscle mass, constituting an energetic tradeoff between skeletal muscle growth and maintenance, and brain growth and maintenance. If the brain does constrain muscle mass, then 1)larger brains should be associated with decreased skeletal muscle mass; 2)the percentage of type I muscle fibers (a type of muscle cell that uses energy [glucose, a type of sugar] in a similar fashion to brain cells) should show a relative decrease in relation to larger brain size; and 3)muscle mass development should be suppressed until brain growth is complete, and once complete, there should be an increase in muscle mass development. To test these predictions, muscle tissue samples will be collected from a diverse array of primate specimens, comprising a range of brain sizes and representing all developmental stages. The generated muscle energy use profiles for each species will then be analyzed in relation to variation in brain size, with the results applied to understanding the interaction between brain size and evolved metabolic strategies. Reducing muscle mass may have predisposed primates such as humans to certain metabolic disorders (e.g., type 2 diabetes); thus, understanding if there is such a constraint has important health implications. Ultimately, the data collected can be incorporated into studies of growth and development, as well as biomechanics, and the results may encourage development of biomedical gene therapies. The research also will provide a rich database for scientists in other disciplines focusing on animal anatomy and physiology, facilitating and expanding future research. The collaborative project brings together international researchers, and will support the training of multiple undergraduate and graduate students from three US universities. As two of these universities are in EPSCoR states, and one is a historically minority-serving institution, the project will foster research advancement for underserved and underrepresented populations.
大脑的生长和维持需要大量的能量投入,特别是对于那些已经进化出非常大而复杂的大脑的生物体。人类和其他灵长类动物最显著的特征之一就是相对于身体而言,大脑的体积较大。然而,尽管人类和非人类灵长类动物的大脑比大多数其他哺乳动物都大,但与其他哺乳动物相比,它们的基础代谢率(一种衡量身体能量利用的指标)并没有增加,这就提出了这样一个问题:如此大的大脑所消耗的能量是如何得到满足的?这一趋势表明,当大脑体积增大时,与身体中另一个需要能量的组织之间存在能量上的权衡;如果我们总体上没有消耗更多的能量,那么可以投入到身体其他部位的能量就有可能被用来为我们的大大脑提供能量。初步研究表明,与其他动物相比,灵长类动物的肌肉质量较低,而大脑尺寸增长最显著的人类,与其他哺乳动物相比,整体肌肉质量减少了50%。因此,本研究验证了骨骼肌与大脑直接竞争葡萄糖和氧气的假设,因此,通过限制肌肉质量来满足大大脑尺寸的高能量需求,构成骨骼肌生长和维持与大脑生长和维持之间的能量权衡。如果大脑确实限制了肌肉质量,那么1)更大的大脑应该与减少的骨骼肌质量有关;2) I型肌纤维(一种使用能量的肌肉细胞[葡萄糖,一种糖]的方式与脑细胞类似)的百分比应该显示出与较大的大脑尺寸相关的相对减少;3)在大脑发育完成之前,应该抑制肌肉质量的发育,一旦大脑发育完成,肌肉质量的发育就应该增加。为了验证这些预测,肌肉组织样本将从各种各样的灵长类动物标本中收集,包括一系列大脑大小和代表所有发育阶段。然后将分析每个物种产生的肌肉能量使用概况与大脑大小变化的关系,并将结果应用于理解大脑大小和进化代谢策略之间的相互作用。减少肌肉质量可能使灵长类动物如人类易患某些代谢紊乱(如2型糖尿病);因此,了解是否存在这种限制具有重要的健康意义。最终,收集到的数据可以被纳入生长和发育的研究,以及生物力学,结果可能会鼓励生物医学基因疗法的发展。这项研究还将为其他学科的科学家提供一个丰富的数据库,专注于动物解剖学和生理学,促进和扩大未来的研究。该合作项目汇集了国际研究人员,并将支持来自三所美国大学的多名本科生和研究生的培训。由于其中两所大学位于EPSCoR州,其中一所是历史上为少数民族服务的机构,该项目将促进对服务不足和代表性不足的人口的研究进步。
