Effect of acetoacetate on liver and blood pyridine nucleotides in rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Experiments were carried out to study the effect of acetoacetate admini stration on pyridine nucleotides in liver and blood in male albino rats. Acetoacetate, when administered along with tryptophan (through diet) to tryptophan-niacin-deficient rats for twenty days, resulted in decreased pyridine nucleotide values as compared to the corresponding controls. Prolonged administration of acetoacetate to rats kept on normal diet decreased the pyridine nucleotide contents of liver and blood.

Effect of acetoacetate on the oxidation of reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide by intact rat liver mitochondria.
Various investigators have observed that intact rat liver mitochondria oxidize exogenous reduced diphosphopyridine nucleotide at a negligible rate (14)) which can be markedly increased by pretreatment of the mitochondria in a hypotonic medium (1, 3,5) or by addition of cytochrome c (1, 5, 6). The oxidation, however, of substrates which are metabolized via mitochondrial DPN-linked dehydrogenases...
متن کاملLiver Damage in Acute Heliotrine Poisoning 2. THE EFFECT OF NICOTINAMIDE ON PYRIDINE NUCLEOTIDE
Earlier studies on the effects of heliotrine poisoning demonstrated an apparent deficiency of DPN in homogenate and mitochondrial preparations from the livers of heliotrine-poisoned (1620hr.) rats (Christie, 1958b). More recent work has shown that the concentrations of pyridine nucleotides were, in fact, decreased in homogenates and in the mitochondrial and soluble fractions of liver from rats ...
متن کاملTherapeutic Effect of Deferasirox and Glycine on Chronic Cadmium Toxicosis in Rats
Objective: It has been shown that deferasirox can reduce blood and tissues lead content in animal models. In this study the effect of deferasirox alone or combined with glycine as an antioxidant was evaluated in chronic cadmium toxicosis in rat. Methods: Male wistar albino rats were exposed to 200 ppm cadmium in the drinking water for 3 weeks and treated thereafter with deferasirox (140 mg/kg),...
متن کاملFlavin and pyridine nucleotide oxidation-reduction changes in perfused rat liver. I. Anoxia and subcellular localization of fluorescent flavoproteins.
Flavin and pyridine nucleotide fluorescence was continuously monitored from the surface of the hemoglobin-free, perfused rat liver with the use of a new double fluorometer. In response to anoxia or after addition of inhibitors of the respiratory chain, the fluorescence intensity excited at 436 rnk decreased, while that excited at 366 rnb increased, representing reduction of flavin and pyridine ...
متن کاملRegulation of Ca2+ release from mitochondria by the oxidation-reduction state of pyridine nucleotides.
Mitochondria from normal rat liver and heart, and also Ehrlich tumor cells, respiring on succinate as energy source in the presence of rotenone (to prevent net electron flow to oxygen from the endogenous pyridine nucleotides), rapidly take up Ca(2+) and retain it so long as the pyridine nucleotides are kept in the reduced state. When acetoacetate is added to bring the pyridine nucleotides into ...
