Regulation of monkey liver serine hydroxymethyltransferase by nicotinamide nucleotide.
The positive homotropic binding of tetrahydrofolate to monkey liver serine hydroxymethyltransferase was abolished on preincubating the enzyme with NADH and NADPH. NAD+ was a negative heterotropic effector, whereas NADP+ was without effect. The allosteric effects of nicotinamide nucleotides on the serine hydroxymethyltransferase, reported for the first time, lead to a better understanding of the...
متن کاملPropranolol elimination by right and left fetal liver: studies in the intact isolated perfused fetal sheep liver.
Propranolol extraction in vivo by the left lobe of the fetal sheep liver is greater than that by the right lobe, and this may be due to the fact that oxygenation of the left lobe is greater than that of the right lobe. To explore this hypothesis, we studied the elimination of (R)-(+)-propranolol (PROP) by right and left lobes of the intact isolated perfused fetal sheep liver model, in which the...
متن کاملShort-term regulation of insulin gene transcription by glucose.
Whereas short-term regulation of insulin biosynthesis at the level of translation is well accepted, glucose-dependent transcriptional control is still believed to be a long-term effect occurring after more than 2 hr of glucose stimulation. Because pancreatic beta cells are exposed to elevated glucose levels for minutes rather than hours after food uptake, we hypothesized the existence of a shor...
متن کاملNear-term fetal response to maternal spoken voice.
Knowledge about prenatal learning has been largely predicated on the observation that newborns appear to recognize the maternal voice. Few studies have examined the process underlying this phenomenon; that is, whether and how the fetus responds to maternal voice in situ. Fetal heart rate and motor activity were recorded at 36 weeks gestation (n = 69) while pregnant women read aloud from a neutr...
متن کاملMaternal hypothyroidism in the rat influences placental and liver glycogen stores: fetal growth retardation near term is unrelated to maternal and placental glucose metabolic compromise.
Maternal hypothyroidism impairs fetal growth in the rat, but the mechanisms by which this occurs are unknown. Since the fetus derives its glucose supply from the mother, and maternal thyroidectomy may disturb maternal and placental glucose metabolism, we postulated that maternal and/or placental glucose metabolic compromise may contribute to fetal growth retardation in hypothyroid dams. Feto-pl...
