Increased alcohol dehydrogenase independent ethanol oxidation at high ethanol concentrations in isolated rat hepatocytes: the effect of chronic ethanol feeding.
Rates of ethanol oxidation in isolated rat hepatocytes increased with increasing ethanol concentrations even at near-saturation of the alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) pathway. After inhibition of ADH by pyrazole, approximately 30% of ethanol-oxidizing activity remained and this activity of the non-ADH pathway was also dependent upon ethanol concentration. The apparent Km of th non-ADH pathway for e...
متن کاملEthanol causes desensitization of receptor-mediated phospholipase C activation in isolated hepatocytes.
The effect of ethanol on receptor-mediated phospholipase C-linked signal transduction processes was investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Pretreatment of the cells with ethanol (6-300 mM) markedly inhibited a subsequent stimulation of phospholipase C by vasopressin, angiotensin II, or epidermal growth factor. By contrast, the effects of the alpha 1-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine and of gl...
متن کاملChronic ingestion of ethanol stimulates lipogenic response in rat hepatocytes.
We isolated hepatocytes from rats chronically fed with ethanol and pair-fed control rats and incubated them both in the presence and absence of 100 mM ethanol in order to analyze the uptake into their lipids of several radiolabeled exogenous substrates. The hepatocytes treated chronically with ethanol showed higher lipogenic activity both in neutral lipids and phospholipids from serine, ethanol...
متن کاملInhibition of proteolysis in the liver by chronic ethanol feeding.
Effects of chronic ethanol feeding on the volume density of lysosomes, the rate of protein degradation and the amount of protein were studied in livers perfused in situ at 07:00, 11:00, 17:00 and 23:00 h. Ethanol was given to the rats in drinking water for either 3 or 8-10 weeks. During week 3 of treatment and onwards, the average daily consumption of ethanol was 12.3 +/- 0.3 g/kg body wt. Morp...
متن کاملEthanol inhibits acetate metabolism in rat hepatocytes.
The metabolism of acetate at concentrations of 1, 2.5, 5 and 10 mM was investigated in freshly isolated hepatocytes from 48 hr fasted, female rats in the absence and presence of 10 mM ethanol. The maximal capacity for acetate metabolism was 0.85 mumol/(10(8) cells.min). Ethanol caused a 20% decrease in the apparent Vmax for acetate metabolism and an increase in the apparent Km for acetate from ...
