The effect of essential-fatty-acid deficiency on the activity of liver phosphatidate phosphatase in rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The activities of the soluble and microsomal phosphatidate phosphatases (EC 3.1.3.4) are greater in the livers of essential-fatty-acid-deficient rats than in rats fed diets containing linoleic acid.

Evaluation of the effects of hydroalcoholic extract of Berberis vulgaris root on the activity of liver enzymes in male hypercholesterolemic rats
Objectives: Hyperlipidemia can cause a variety of diseases such as atherosclerosis, diabetes, and fatty liver which is followed by increased liver enzymes. Since Berberis vulgaris (B. vulgaris) root possesses antioxidant properties, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect ofits extract on the activity of liver enzymes in rats. Materials and Methods: In this experimental study...
متن کاملEvidence for Histidine Residues on Plasma Membrane Phosphatidate Phosphohydrolase from Rat Liver
Objective(s) Phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP) catalyzes the dephosphorylation of phosphatidic acid to yield Pi and diacylglycerol. Two different forms of PAP in rat hepatocyte have been reported. PAP1 is located in cytosolic and microsomal fractions and participates in the synthesis of triacylglycerols, phosphatidylcholine, and phosphatidylethanolamine, whereas the other form of phosphati...
متن کاملPossible Involvement of Hepatic Phosphatidate Phosphohydrolase in the Mechanisms of Actions of Certain Antilipemic Drugs in Rats
The effects of therapeutic doses of dillsun, garsin, antum and statins on rat liver cytosolic phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP) activity, a key enzyme in triacylglycerol synthesis, and on serum and liver lipids were examined. Lovastatin and simvastatin both stimulated the enzyme activity by 29% and 43%, respectively. The stimulatory effects were dose-dependent and accompanied by the decline ...
متن کاملImpact of Propionic Acid on Liver Damage in Rats
Propionic acid (PA) is a short chain fatty acid, a common food preservative and metabolic end product of enteric bacteria in the gut. The present study was undertaken to investigate the effect of PA on liver injury in male rats. Male western albino rats were divided into two groups. The first group served as normal control, the second was treated with PA. The activities of serum hepatospecific ...
متن کاملHormone-Induced Variation of Phosphatidate Phosphohydrolase Activity in Various Tissues of Pregnant Rats
Variations in phosphatidate phosphohydrolase (PAP) activity and triacylglycerol concentration were measured in pregnant and hormone-treated non-pregnant female rats. PAP activity in adipose tissue was elevated by 61% during pregnancy. The increase in the enzyme activity was paralleled with a rise in serum triacylglycerol concentration (44%). Estradiol injecting into non-pregnant rats increased ...
