چکیده

Rats were maintained on a riboflavin-deficient diet or on a diet containing clofibrate (0.5%, w/w). The activities of the mitochondrial FAD-dependent straight-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (butyryl-CoA, octanoyl-CoA and palmitoyl-CoA) and the branched-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenases (isovaleryl-CoA and isobutyryl-CoA) involved in the degradation of branched-chain acyl-CoA esters derived from branched-chain amino acids were assayed in liver mitochondrial extracts prepared in the absence and presence of exogenous FAD. These activities were low in livers from riboflavin-deficient rats (11, 28, 16, 6 and less than 2% of controls respectively) when prepared in the absence of exogenous FAD, and were not restored to control values when prepared in 25 microM-FAD (29, 47, 28, 7 and 17%). Clofibrate feeding increased the activities of butyryl-CoA, octanoyl-CoA and palmitoyl-CoA dehydrogenases (by 48, 116 and 98% of controls respectively), but not, by contrast, the activities of isovaleryl-CoA and isobutyryl-CoA dehydrogenases (62 and 102% of controls respectively). The mitochondrial fractions from riboflavin-deficient and from clofibrate-fed rats oxidized palmitoylcarnitine in State 3 at rates of 32 and 163% respectively of those from control rats.

Effects of starvation

Riboflavin deficiency in weanling rats causes a metabolic disorder characterized by failure to oxidize fatty acids. The disorder is similar to that seen in several human diseases, some of which are responsive to pharmacological doses of riboflavin. Previous analysis of the riboflavin-deficient rat has shown that the failure of fatty acid oxidation is due to a decrease in the activity of the acy...

Riboflavin and Rat Hepatic Cell Structure and Function

Weanling rats were fed a simple riboflavin-deficient diet or the same diet supplemented with galactoflavin. Oxidative phosphorylation was studied in isolated hepatic mitochondria. Throughout the course of the experimental diets, a total of 8 weeks, there were no alterations in the respiratory control ratios or in the ADP/O ratios of the isolated mitochondria. Succinate dehydrogenase activity de...

Inhibition in vitro of acyl-CoA dehydrogenases by 2-mercaptoacetate in rat liver mitochondria.

In rat liver hypo-osmotically treated mitochondria, 2-mercaptoacetate inhibits respiration induced by palmitoyl-CoA, octanoate or butyryl-CoA only when the reaction medium is supplemented with ATP. Under this condition, NADH-stimulated respiration is not affected. In liver mitochondrial matrix, the presence of ATP is also required to observe a 2-mercaptoacetate-induced inhibition of acyl-CoA de...

Acyl-Coa oxidase and hydratase-dehydrogenase, two enzymes of the peroxisomal beta-oxidation system, are synthesized on free polysomes of clofibrate-treated rat liver

We investigated the site of synthesis of two abundant proteins in clofibrate-induced rat hepatic peroxisomes. RNA was extracted from free and membrane-bound polysomes, heated to improve translational efficiency, and translated in the mRNA-dependent, reticulocyte-lysate-cell-free, protein-synthesizing system. The peroxisomal acyl-CoA oxidase and enoyl-CoA hydratase-beta-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydroge...
