Metabolism of p-aminobenzoic acid in the perfused livers of chronically uraemic rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Chronic renal failure was induced in rats by surgical removal of thirteen-sixteenths of renal tissue. 2. The metabolism of p-amino[14C]benzoic acid was studied in the isolated perfused livers of control and chronically uraemic rats. There was a slower rate of clearance and decreased overall metabolism of the compounds in the uraemic rats. 3. Conjugation of p-amino[14C]benzoic acid with glycine and the formation of p-aminobenzoic acid glucuronide were both significantly decreased in the uraemic rats, but there was a significant increase in acetylation of both p-aminobenzoic acid and its glycine conjugate.

Oxidative and conjugative metabolism of xenobiotics by livers of cattle, sheep, swine and rats.
Homogenate preparations from fresh livers of cattle, sheep, swine and rats were assayed for microsomal cytochrome P-450 content, for mixed-function oxidase activities and for a wide array of conjugative activities using numerous xenobiotic substrates. Results show that hepatic enzymatic capabilities toward xenobiotics do not parallel phylogenetic classifications, thus strengthening the view tha...
متن کاملLIVER DISEASE Effect of ursodeoxycholic acid on methionine adenosyltransferase activity and hepatic glutathione metabolism in rats
Background and aims: Both bile salts and glutathione participate in the generation of canalicular bile flow. In this work, we have investigated the effect of different bile salts on hepatic glutathione metabolism. Methods: Using the isolated and perfused rat liver, we studied hepatic glutathione content, and metabolism and catabolism of this compound in livers perfused with taurocholate, ursode...
متن کاملEffects of hypophysectomy on lactate metabolism in the perfused rat liver.
Various aspects of lactate metabolism were compared in perfused livers from normal and hypophysectomized rats. Glucose production by livers from hypophysectomized animals exceeded that by normal rat livers largely due to enhanced rates of lactate gluconeogenesis. When perfusion was carried out with a nonrecirculating medium containing physiological levels of lactate (1 to 4 mu), the rate of glu...

The intralobular distribution of metabolism was examined in the livers from rats with severe diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), perfused at pH 6.8, and compared with that in livers from normal starved animals perfused at either pH 7.4 or 6.8. With lactate and palmitate as substrates, the perivenous uptake of periportally synthesized glucose seen in normal livers at pH 7.4 was abolished during DKA; in...
متن کاملFatty acid metabolism and lipid secretion by perfused livers from rats fed laboratory stock and sucrose-rich diets.
To assess the possible role of altered hepatic processing of free fatty acids in dietary sucrose-induced accumulation of triglyceride in the liver and blood plasma, livers from rats fed commercial laboratory stock and high sucrose diets were perfused both with and without oleic acid substrate. Consumption of the sucrose diet exerted a multiplicity of effects on oleic acid metabolism, characteri...
