In vitro metabolism of testosterone sulfate and testosterone tetrahydropyranyl ether in male rat liver.
In vitro metabolism of 3H-testosterone 17-sulfate(3H-TS)and 14C-testosterone 17-tetrahydropyranyl ether(14C-TP)was studied by incubation with 20000•~g or 105000•~g supernatant and microsomal fractions of male rat liver homogenate under carbon monoxide atmosphere or in air.The results demonstrated that the steroidal ring A of 3H-TS was readily metabolized by microsomal ƒ¢4-5ƒ¿-hydrogenase,while ...
متن کاملOxidative metabolism in fetal rat brain during maternal halothane anesthesia.
The present study examines the effects of maternally administered halothane on fetal brain metabolism as determined by direct tissue analysis. Term pregnant rats were paralyzed, ventilated, and administered halothane in concentrations of 0.4, 1, or 2%. For comparison of fetal response to anesthetic agents, other maternal rats were administered pentobarbital (50 or 200 mg/kg). Dams receiving 0.4...
متن کاملBrain polyphosphoinositide metabolism during focal ischemia in rat cortex.
Using a rat model of stroke, we examined the effects of focal cerebral ischemia on the metabolism of polyphosphoinositides by injecting 32Pi into both the left and right cortices. After equilibration of the label for 2-3 hours, ischemia induced a significant decrease (p less than 0.001) in the concentrations of labeled phosphatidyl 4,5-bisphosphates (66-78%) and phosphatidylinositol 4-phosphate...
متن کاملAcetoacetate Metabolism in Rat Brain
1. Data are provided that indicate that the rat brain acetoacetyl-CoA deacylase is almost exclusively mitochondrial. Developmental studies show that this enzyme more than doubles its activity during suckling (0-21 days) and then maintains this activity in adults (approx. 1.1 units/g wet wt.). 2. Kinetic studies (on the acetoacetyl-CoA deacylase) in a purified brain mitochondrial preparation giv...
متن کاملBrain aromatase activity and plasma testosterone levels are elevated in aggressive male mice during early ontogeny.
Testosterone (T) and estradiol (E2) are involved in intraspecific aggressive behavior. Both steroids exert their effects on behaviour via the hypothalamus and the amygdala (Am) of the central nervous system (CNS). In these brain areas T is converted to E2, by the enzyme aromatase. Both the levels of brain aromatase activity (AA) and the effects of T and E2 on aggressive behavior in adulthood de...
