The rate of generation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate in the liver of normal and alloxan diabetic rats.
The defect of fatty acid synthesis in the liver of the diabetic rat has been attributed to (a) specific cofactor deficiencies (2-4), (b) diminished activity of one or more enzymes in the reaction sequence leading to the synthesis of fatty acids (5, 6), and (c) a decreased substrate pool (7). Particular attention has been directed to the possibility of a deficiency of reduced nicotinamide adenin...
متن کاملInhibition of rat liver nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide kinase by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate.
Rat liver NAD kinase (ATP : NAD 2’-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.23) was purified about 70-fold. The MichaelisMenten constants (Km) for NAD and ATP were 8 x 10e4 M and 2 x low3 M, respectively. NAD kinase activity was markedly inhibited by NADH and also NADPH. The Ki of NADH was approximately 1 X 10q4 M, and that of NADPH was approximately 5 X 10M5 M. Both inhibitions were competitive with NAD, ...
متن کاملFormation of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide peroxide.
Incubation of NADH at neutral and slightly alkaline pH leads to the gradual absorption of 1 mol of H+. This uptake of acid requires oxygen and mainly yields anomerized NAD+ (NAD+), with only minimal formation od acid-modified NADH. The overall stoichiometry of the reaction is: NADH + H+ + 1/2O2 leads to H2O + NAD+, with NADH peroxide (HO2-NADH+) serving as the intermediate that anomerizes and b...
متن کاملApocynin, Reduced Nicotinamide-Adenine Dinucleotide Phosphate Oxidase, and Vascular Cells
Apocynin (4-hydroxy-3-methoxyacetophenone), isolated from the traditional medicinal plant Picrorhiza kurroa, is a naturally occurring methoxy-substituted catechol, experimentally used as an inhibitor of reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase.1 Activated neutrophil NADPH oxidase, a multisubunit complex composed of membrane-associated gp91phox (Nox2) and p22phox and c...
متن کاملPharmacokinetic aspects of reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) in rats.
Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) plays a major role in cellular metabolism and mitochondrial dysfunction and is thought that NAD+/NADH decrease neuronal degeneration and improve behavioral deficits. This potential use of NAD+ or NADH as neuroprotective drugs requires an insight on the pharmacokinetic properties of these compounds. For this reason, we assessed the absorption of NADH in t...
