Microtubule-independent choleresis and anti-cholestatic action of tauroursodeoxycholate in colchicine-treated rat liver.
In order to cast light on the anti-cholestatic and cytoprotective properties of ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA), intrahepatic transport and secretion of bile salts and biliary phospholipids were investigated by using isolated perfused livers from colchicine-pretreated rats. Administration of taurocholic acid (TCA) after colchicine pretreatment induced marked cholestasis. Tauroursodeoxycholic acid (...
متن کاملTaurocholate-stimulated leukotriene C4 biosynthesis and leukotriene C4-stimulated choleresis in isolated rat liver.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Cysteinyl-containing leukotrienes seem to exert a cholestatic effect. However, leukotriene inhibitors were found to reduce bile salt efflux in isolated rat hepatocytes, suggesting a role for leukotrienes in bile flow formation. METHODS In the isolated rat liver, the effects of two different concentrations of leukotriene C4 on bile flow and bile salt excretion are analyzed, as ...
متن کاملPre-replicative phase-related changes in bile acid-induced choleresis in the regenerating rat liver.
1. During the pre-replicative phase of the regenerating rat liver some interesting changes occur, which might selectively modify some mechanisms involved in bile formation, such as those responsible for the hypercholeretic effect of ursodeoxycholic acid. The aim of the present work was to gain information on this point. 2. Anaesthetized male Wistar rats (approximately 250 g) were used. The anim...
متن کاملColchicine-like β-acetamidoketones as inhibitors of microtubule polymerization: Design, synthesis and biological evaluation of in vitro anticancer activity
Objective(s): In this study a series of novel colchicine-like β-acetamidoketones was designed and synthesized as potential tubulin inhibitorsMaterials and Methods: The cytotoxicity of the novel synthesized β-acetamidoketones was assessed against two cancerous cell lines including MCF-7 (human breast cancer cells) and A549 (adenocarcinomi...
متن کاملColchicine inhibition of retinol-binding protein secretion by rat liver.
Studies were conducted to explore the effects of colchicine on the secretion and metabolism of retinol-binding protein (RBP) by the liver. In the vitamin A-deficient rat, the rate of secretion of RBP from the liver into the serum is greatly reduced, and RBP accumulates in the liver. Injection of retinol (dispersed in a 20% Tween 40 solution) into deficient rats stimulated a rapid secretion of R...
