Plasma protein synthesis by isolated rat hepatocytes
A system of preparation of rat hepatocytes with extended viability has been developed to study the role of hormones and other plasma components upon secretory protein synthesis. Hepatocytes maintained in minimal essential medium reduced the levels of all amino acids in the medium except the slowly catabolized amino acids leucine, isoleucine, and valine, which steadily increase as the result of ...
متن کاملLipoprotein secretion by isolated rat hepatocytes: characterization
Lipoprotein production by freshly isolated rat hepatocytes in suspension was studied during short (1 -3 hr) incubation periods. The hepatocytes release very low density (d < 1.01 g/ml) lipoprotein (VLDL) particles, which as a group a) contain triacylglycerols, phospholipids, free cholesterol, and cholesteryl esters in molar proportions of 100:21:8:4; b) have a mean diameter 1.5-fold larger than...
متن کاملRegulation of glucose synthesis in hormone-sensitive isolated rat hepatocytes.
A simplified procedure was developed for isolation of intact, hormone-sensitive liver cells in a high and reproducible yield. These cells produce glucose from various precursors at rates comparable to those achieved in isolated perfused liver. Glucagon enhanced glucose synthesis from pyruvate, dihydroxyacetone, fructose, or xylitol more effectively at low than at high substrate concentration. A...
متن کاملEffects of amino acids, ammonia and leupeptin on protein synthesis and degradation in isolated rat hepatocytes.
Protein synthesis in isolated rat hepatocytes, as measured by the incorporation of [14C]-valine at constant specific radioactivity, proceeded at a rate of 0.3-0.5%/h in an unsupplemented medium, i.e. only about one-tenth the rate of protein degradation (4%/h). Leupeptin, which inhibits lysosomal protein degradation (previously found to be 75% of the total degradation in hepatocytes), had no eff...
متن کاملIron Overload Induced Apoptotic Cell Death in Isolated Rat Hepatocytes Mediated by Reactive Oxygen Species
Isolated rat hepatocytes in culture were incubated with different concentrations of iron-sorbitol (50, 100, 150, and 200 µM) to assess the changes in reactive oxygen species (ROS) and lipid peroxidation leading to apoptotic hepatocyte cell death. The viability of hepatocytes was declined depending on the iron concentration. One hour incubation of the cells with 100 µM iron resulted in decreased...
