Inhibition of steroid 5 alpha-reductase by specific aliphatic unsaturated fatty acids.
Human or rat microsomal 5 alpha-reductase activity, as measured by enzymic conversion of testosterone into 5 alpha-dihydrotestosterone or by binding of a competitive inhibitor, [3H]17 beta-NN-diethulcarbamoyl-4-methyl-4-aza-5 alpha-androstan-3-one ([3H]4-MA) to the reductase, is inhibited by low concentrations (less than 10 microM) of certain polyunsaturated fatty acids. The relative inhibitory...
متن کاملFatty acid desaturation in lung: inhibition by unsaturated fatty acids.
The activity of the enzyme system involved in desaturation of palmitic and stearic acid has been examined in lungs of rats fed fat-free diets supplemented either with 4% safflower oil (controls) or 4% tripalmitin (essential fatty acid (EFA) deficient) both in vivo and in vitro in lung slices. Desaturation, as measured by appearance of 14C-labeled monounsaturated fatty acid in pulmonary total li...
متن کاملInhibition of platelet function by cis-unsaturated fatty acids.
The uptake of free fatty acids has previously been shown to affect the capping of lymphocytes, and there is evidence that different types of fatty acids may partition into separate lipid domains in cell surface membranes. In studies of gel-filtered human platelets, we found that cis-unsaturated fatty acids (1-35 microM) inhibited platelet shape change, aggregation, and secretion of 5-hydroxytry...
متن کاملBiosynthesis of Unsaturated Fatty Acids by Bacilli
Significant relationships have been established between the initiation and rate of fatty acid A”-desaturase synthesis in Bacillus megaterium ATCC 14581 and controlled perturbations in culture temperature, cell growth, protein synthesis, and RNA synthesis. B. megaterium growing from inoculum at 35” contained neither unsaturated fatty acids nor the A5-desaturase responsible for their production. ...
متن کاملEffects of aliphatic fatty acids
octanoate or decanoate per mol of albumin caused a decrease in dye binding (dye/protein molar ratio 1 : 1), which, in contrast with additional fatty acid, was very pronounced: 1-8mol of palmitate or stearate resulted in a small, and apparently linear, displacement of Phenol Red. The displacement effect of 1-5 mol of oleate, linoleate or linolenate per mol of albumin was comparable with that of ...
