Metabolism and Cytotoxic Mechanisms of Nitroglycerin in Isolated Rat Hepatocytes
It has been proposed that organic nitrates such as glyceryl trinitrate (GTN), used in the treatment of cardiovascular diseases, act by producing nitric oxide (NO). However, the biochemical pathway for NO formation from GTN is not well understood. In the present study, we showed that nitrate formation from GTN, by isolated rat hepatocytes, was inhibited about 50% when cellular glutathione w...
متن کاملIdentification and Characterization of Leukotriene C Receptors in Isolated Rat Renal Glomeruli
The immediate reduction of renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate in response to intravenous infusion of leukotriene C4 in the rat prompted an analysis of isolated rat renal glomeruli for the presence of specific receptors for leukotriene C«. Specific binding of [H]leukotriene C4 to glomeruli increased in a time-dependent manner, reached equilibrium after 60 minutes of incubation at 4°...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of leukotriene C4 receptors in isolated rat renal glomeruli.
The immediate reduction of renal blood flow and glomerular filtration rate in response to intravenous infusion of leukotriene C4 in the rat prompted an analysis of isolated rat renal glomeruli for the presence of specific receptors for leukotriene C4. Specific binding of [3H]leukotriene C4 to glomeruli increased in a time-dependent manner, reached equilibrium after 60 minutes of incubation at 4...
متن کاملPreparation of isolated rat liver hepatocytes.
The bulk volume (about 85%) of the mammalian liver parenchyma is contributed by the hepatocytes, whereas at least four other types of cells constitute the remainder (1). Procedures for the isolation of all five cell types have been described, although not from the same liver. However, the isolation of hepatocytes has clearly been the most widely used preparation and has proved extremely valuabl...
متن کاملRat hepatocytes express functional P2X receptors.
Extracellular ATP regulates many hepatic functions by stimulating purinergic receptors. Only the G protein-coupled P2Y receptors have been studied in hepatocytes. We investigated the functional expression of P2X receptors, the ATP-gated channels in rat hepatocytes. P2X4 and P2X7 transcripts and proteins were detected by RT-PCR and by both Western blotting and immunocytochemistry. High concentra...
