Stimulatory action of cycloheximide on glucose metabolism in the rat epididymal fat pad.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The action of cycloheximide on some parameters of glucose and lipid metabolism was studied in vitro in epidiymal fat pads from fasted rats. Incubation of fat pads with cycloheximide (1 mug/ml) for 2 hours resulted in a two-fold increase in glucose uptake, glucose oxidation, incorporation of glucose into lipids, and reesterification of free fatty acid. The increase in glucose oxidation was evident in experiments in which [U-14C], [1-14C], or [6-14C]glucose was added to the media, but it was absent when the media were supplemented with pyruvate. Incorporation of glucose into glycogen and accumulation of lactate in the medium were not seriously modified by the presence of cycloheximide. The stimulatory effect of cycloheximide on incorporation of glucose into lipids was absent when insulin or cortisol was added to the medium. A cycloheximide-mediated increase in glucose uptake seems to be responsible for the subsequent changes in glucose metabolism, and would seem to be independent of an inhibition in protein synthesis; puromycin and actinomycin D did not mimic the cycloheximide action on glucose incorporation into lipids.

Effect of maternal vitamin and mineral restrictions on the body fat content and adipocytokine levels of WNIN rat offspring
BACKGROUND Intrauterine growth retardation due to maternal under-nutrition increases susceptibility to obesity and insulin resistance. We reported earlier in the offspring of mineral or vitamin restricted rat dams, a high body fat percentage and decreased insulin secretion to glucose challenge. This study determined whether or not central adiposity and altered adipocytokine profile were associa...
متن کاملChanges in Biochemical Parameters Related to Lipid Metabolism Following Lithium Treatment in Rat
Lithium is widely used in medicine as an anti-depressive drug. In spite of abundant literature, questions on the side effects of lithium ions are far from being answered. In this study, the effects of lithium on biochemical parameters related to lipid metabolism were investigated. Male Wistar rats were treated with different doses of lithium for a period of up to 60 days. Blood samples were col...
متن کاملThe Influence of Glucose on Amino Acid Carbon Incorporation into Proteins, Fatty Acids, and Carbon Dioxide by Lactating Rat Mammary Gland Slices.
It has been shown that the capacity of epididymal fat pads (l), diaphragm (2, 3), and liver slices (2) to incorporate amino acid carbon into proteins is lower when those tissues are excised from unfed rather than from fed rats. The addition of glucose to the incubation media containing those tissues from unfed rats increases the incorporation to about the level observed when the same tissues ar...

In previous communications we reported stimulation in uitro of glucose oxidation in the thyroid by thyroid-stimulating hormone and acetylcholine (1, 2). These observations have been extended to epinephrine and related compounds. Epinephrine is known to affect the physiology of the thyroid gland. Both epinephrine and norepinephrine modify thyroid blood flow and increase the release of thyroid ho...

The effect of ingestion of saline, glucose, and ethanol (isocaloric with the glucose) on the mobilization of radiopalmitate from epididymal fat prelabeled in vivo and the incorporation of the mobilized label into liver lipids was investigated in rats. The mobilization of radiopalmitate from epididymal fat and the incorporation of the mobilized label into liver triglyceride were most markedly el...
