Selenium elicitation and increase of secondary metabolites production by suspension-cultured Astragalus verus cells
Secondary metabolites with low molecular weight and high economic, pharmaceutical and industrial values play an important role in protecting plants against biotic and abiotic stresses. Astragalus is a medicinal herb, rich in secondary metabolites. Selenium (Se) is an essential element for humans, animals, many bacteria, and a beneficial element for plants. The plants response to selenium is dep...
متن کاملD-Glucose upregulates adenosine transport in cultured human aortic smooth muscle cells.
The etiology of the atherosclerosis that occurs in diabetes mellitus is unclear. Adenosine has been shown to inhibit growth of rat aortic smooth muscle cells. Nucleoside transporters play an integral role in adenosine function by regulating adenosine levels in the vicinity of adenosine receptors. Therefore, we studied the effect of 25 mM d-glucose, which mimics hyperglycemia of diabetes, on ade...
متن کاملATP-Sensitive Potassium Channels Modulate Transport in Cultured Human Skeletal Muscle Glucose Cells
Several lines of evidence suggest that ATP-sensitive potassium (KATP) channels are involved in glucose uptake by insulin target tissues. The aim of the present study was to prove directly the effect of KATP channel activity on glucose transport into cultured human skeletal muscle cells. We used potassium channel openers PCO400 and nicorandil alone or in combination with channel blockers glibenc...
متن کاملInsulin stimulation of glucose transport activity in rat skeletal muscle: increase in cell surface GLUT4 as assessed by photolabelling.
We have used a photoaffinity label to quantify cell surface GLUT4 glucose transporters in isolated rat soleus muscles. In this system, insulin stimulated an 8.6-fold increase in 3-O-methylglucose glucose transport, while photolabelled GLUT4 increased 8-fold. These results demonstrate that the insulin-stimulated increase in glucose transport activity in skeletal muscle can be accounted for by an...
متن کاملResponsiveness to insulin of glucose metabolism in cultured rat and human arterial smooth muscle cells.
Smooth muscle cells growing in the primary culture derived from outgrowths of the intimal-medial explants of both rat and human arteries were used. The 72-hr sequential glucose uptake by the cells of both species in culture dishes was enhanced only slightly with time by the addition of insulin to culture medium, and this enhancement was statistically not significant. The glucose conversions to ...
