Radiorespirometric analysis of glucose metabolism during the feeding with 3'-methyl-4-(dimethylamino)azobenzene in rat.

چکیده
The metabolic fate of the labeled glucose (U-14C) was studied during the feeding with 3'methyl-4-(dimethylamino)azobenzene(3'-Me-DAB) in rats by the method of radiorespirometry . The peak time (PT) was inclined to hasten from 2nd, reached to the maximum at 4th , and markedly returned to delay at 5th week after the administration of 3'-Me-DAB. The peak height (PH) at 4th to 5th week was lower than that of control. These alterations coincided with the appearance of a-fetoprotein (AFP) at an early stage. However, no marked changes were found in the yield value (YV). The activities of glycolytic enzyme were assayed continuously for 6 weeks after the administration of 3'-Me-DAB. As the result, only hexokinase was activated at 4th week, while pyruvate kinase was inhibited to the level of about 30% of control immediately after the onset of 3'-Me-DAB up to 5th week. Changes of radiorespirometric parameter and enzyme activity were compared on normal and tumor bearing rats. These results were significantly different from those which obtained at an early stage, 1st to 6th week, after the administration of 3'-Me-DAB. Namely, the haste of PT observed at 4th week was not found in tumor bearing rats. On the other hand, the activity of hexokinase was slightly decreased in tumor bearing rats, while the activity of pyruvate kinase was about 2 times as high as that of normal rats.

Glucose 6-phosphatase activity was studied histochemically in the oval cells of rat livers during the early stage of hepatocarcinogenesis induced by 3'-methyl-4-dimethylamino azobenzene. Short-period perfusion fixation of the liver preserved both the ultrastructure of the liver cells and glucose
considered the possibility of the transformation of the oval cells into hepatocytes (5, 16, 21, 31), but many others were not in agreement as to the existence of such transformation and rather considered the cells to disappear by cell death and removal (9, 22, 23, 25, 26). Inaoka (1 1), in our laboratory, examining the early stage of azo dye hepatocarcinogenesis in rats, concluded that the oval...
متن کاملRat skin carcinogenesis by topical applications of some azo dyes.
Groups of 6 male rats were painted twice weekly with 1 ml of a 0.2% solution of an azo dye in acetone. The dyes used were aminoazobenzene, 4-monomethylaminoazobenzene, their 3methoxy analogs, and 4-dimethylaminoazobenzene. In each case, all rats developed multiple skin tumors of histologie types similar to those found in rats treated with other chemical classes of carcinogen. 3-Methoxy-4-monome...
متن کاملThe effect of chronic psychological stress on carbohydrate metabolism in rat
Several studies have shown that stress has major effects on metabolism. There is also some evidence indicating that stress may induce diabetes mellitus. The present study has investigated the role of chronic psychological stress on carbohydrate metabolism in male Wistar rats (250 ± 50 g). Animals were divided into control and test groups (n = 8/group). Blood samples were obtained by tail snippi...
متن کاملAzobenzene dye-coupled quadruply hydrogen-bonding modules as colorimetric indicators for supramolecular interactions
The facile coupling of azobenzene dyes to the quadruply hydrogen-bonding modules 2,7-diamido-1,8-naphthyridine (DAN) and 7-deazaguanine urea (DeUG) is described. The coupling of azobenzene dye 2 to mono-amido DAN units 4, 7, and 9 was effected by classic 4-(dimethylamino)pyridine (DMAP)-catalyzed peptide synthesis with N-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)-N'-ethyl carbodiimide hydrochloride (EDC) as activ...

The previous studies on the correlation between tumor incidence and changes in microsomal and mitochondrial swelling during feeding of 3'-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene to rats have been extended to other hepatic carcinogens. Administration of 4'-fluoro-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene, 4'-ethyl-2-methyl-4-dimethylaminoazobenzene, 2-acetylam-inofluorene, ethionine, and tannic acid were found to prod...
