Methionine metabolism in isolated perfused livers from rats fed on zinc-deficient and restricted diets.
1. Sulphur amino acid metabolism in livers from rats which had been fed ad lib. on a restricted diet (malnourished) or a Zn-deficient diet was investigated. Perfusion of normal livers with different amounts of L-methionine revealed that homocysteine was recycled four to five times before being eliminated via the transsulphuration pathway. 2. From the perfusion experiments, we found no evidence ...
متن کاملFatty acid metabolism and lipid secretion by perfused livers from rats fed laboratory stock and sucrose-rich diets.
To assess the possible role of altered hepatic processing of free fatty acids in dietary sucrose-induced accumulation of triglyceride in the liver and blood plasma, livers from rats fed commercial laboratory stock and high sucrose diets were perfused both with and without oleic acid substrate. Consumption of the sucrose diet exerted a multiplicity of effects on oleic acid metabolism, characteri...
متن کاملMetabolism of R- and S-1,3-butanediol in perfused livers from meal-fed and starved rats.
The metabolism of millimolar concentrations of R- or S-1,3-butanediol has been studied in perfused livers from fed and starved rats. Protocols were designed to measure in the same experiment (i) uptake of the diol, (ii) the contribution of the diol to ketogenesis, (iii) the contribution of the diol to total fatty acid plus sterol synthesis, and (iv) conversion of S-1,3-butanediol into S-3-hydro...
متن کاملComparison of metabolism of free fatty acid by isolated perfused livers from male and female rats.
Livers from normal, fed male and female rats were perfused with different amounts of [1-14C]oleate under steady state conditions, and the rates of uptake and utilization of free fatty acid (FFA) were measured. The uptake of FFA by livers from either male or female rats was proportional to the concentration of FFA in the medium. The rate of uptake of FFA, per g of liver, by livers from female ra...
متن کاملAntilipotropic effect of methionine in rats fed threonine-deficient diets containing choline.
In previous studies (l-5), dealing with the effects of different amino acids on fat deposition in the livers of rats fed low protein diets containing choline, 9 per cent casein diets have been supplemented with either methionine or cystine. Fat accumulates in the livers of animals fed this basal diet but in a preliminary experiment, in which the sulfur amino acids had been omitted, no excessive...
