Chronic and acute ethanol impair the <Emphasis Type="Italic">in vivo </Emphasis> glucose uptake by lactating rat mammary gland
نویسنده
چکیده
Chronic and acute ethanol treatments increased the 3-hydroxybutyrate uptake by lactating rat mammary gland as a consequence of its high afferent concentration, without changing its relative extraction. The uptake of glucose was inhibited in the ethanol treated animals due to intrinsic alterations in the mammary gland metabolism as indicated by the decreased relative extraction and unchanged afferent concentration. These results would suggest that the elevated uptake of ketone bodies in ethanol-treated rats can be responsible, at least in part, for the decrease in glucose uptake by lactating rat mammary gland, although other direct effects of ethanol may be implied.

Alterations in mammary-gland blood flow and glucose metabolism in the lactating rat induced by short-term starvation and refeeding.
Six-hour starvation of lactating rats caused a 75% decrease in mammary-gland lipogenesis. The inhibition of lipogenesis was accompanied by a 45% decrease of blood flow to the mammary gland and a 60% decrease in glucose uptake. Within 2 h of refeeding, lipogenesis and glucose uptake by the gland increased to fed values though blood flow to the gland remained at only 63% of that in the fed state....
متن کاملArteriovenous glucose differences across the mammary gland of the fed, starved, and re-fed lactating rat.
Arteriovenous glucose difference across the mammary gland of the lactating rat was used as an 'instantaneous' monitor of mammary glucose uptake. Plasma [glucose] and arteriovenous glucose difference varied according to whether Halothane, diethyl ether or sodium pentobarbitone anaesthesia was used. In pentobarbitone-treated rats a 60% glucose extraction in the fed state decreased to 5% after 18 ...
متن کاملThe absolute rate of fatty acid synthesis by mammary gland slices from lactating rats.
Mammary gland utilizes a combination of substrates in vivo. To determine if and how the substrates presented to the gland alter milk fat synthesis, slices of mammary gland of lactating rats were incubated with combinations of glucose, L-lactate, and pyruvate. Uptakes and conversions of uniformly and specifically labeled substrates to CO2 and fatty acid were measured. The absolute rate of fatty ...
متن کاملLocalization and gene expression of glucose transporters in bovine mammary gland.
Glucose uptake in the mammary gland is a rate-limiting step in milk synthesis. To study glucose transporters in the bovine mammary gland, the erythrocyte-type glucose transporter (GLUT1) and the insulin-responsive glucose transporter (GLUT4) proteins were assessed by Western blotting and immunohistochemical staining, using polyclonal antibodies against the C-terminal peptide of GLUT1 and GLUT4....
متن کاملGlucose transporter expression in rat mammary gland.
The expression of different glucose transporter isoforms was measured during the development and differentiation of the rat mammary gland. Before conception, when the mammary gland is mainly composed of adipocytes, Glut 4 and Glut 1 mRNAs and proteins were present. During pregnancy, the expression of Glut 4 decreased progressively, whereas that of Glut 1 increased. In the lactating mammary glan...
