Effect of scurvy on glutathione and dehydroascorbic acid in guinea pig tissues.
Hypofunction of the islands of Langerhans in scorbutic guinea pigs, as evidenced by diminished insulin content (1) and degranulation of the P-cells (2), results in lowered glucose tolerance and decreased deposition of glycogen in the liver (3). Insulin contains a large amount of cystine (4) and it is probable that under the influence of enzymes cystine is taken up by the p-cells to form the ins...
متن کاملBiliverdin reductase of guinea pig liver.
The biosynthesis of the heme portion of hemoglobin by animal tissues has been studied extensively (1). In contrast, relatively little is known about the enzymes participating in the initial steps of the pathway for heme catabolism. Thus, the reaction in which heme and globin are separated remains essentially obscure, although it is known that heme undergoes ring cleavage with liberation of carb...
متن کاملSertraline and amitriptyline enhance histamine metabolism in guinea-pig tissues
Background Aside from their typical use to treat depression, many antidepressants are also used to treat anxiety disorders and chronic pain disorders. Moreover, it has been proved that they show anti-inflammatory effects. We believe that a part of this effect of antidepressants can arise as a consequence of histamine elimination from the site of inflammation. In mammals, histamine is mainly met...
متن کاملKaryotype of Hairless Guinea pig
Chromosomal patterns of experimental animals are useful tools for cytogenetics research and animal breeding. Chromosome investigations of the hairless guinea pig are rare, therefore, karyotype of hairless guinea pigs (twelve male and female) was studied using metaphase spreads of bone marrows and G banding techniques. The chromosomes diploid number was 2n= 64 and polymorphism of three type chro...
متن کاملFree amino acid contents in guinea pig tissues.
Free amino acid contents in various guinea pig tissues were determined with an amino acid analyzer. The most abundant amino acids in these tissues were: Gly and Glu in the liver and kidney, Gln, Glu and Ala in the heart, Glu and Gln in the brain, Gly in the blood plasma and Lys in erythrocytes. Glutathione was present as the reduced form in these tissues. Cystine was not detected except in the ...
