Expression of Metallothionein in the Liver of Rats Fed Copper-Deficient AIN-93G Diet
Copper-loading induces metallothionein (MT) synthesis in the liver of rats. Copper-MT from the liver of copper-injected rats has been isolated and analyzed. The copper-induced MT synthesis is characterized by increased incorporation of [ 35S]cysteine into the protein and enhanced production of the MT mRNA, suggesting that copper induction of MT occurs at the level of gene transcription. The mec...
متن کاملSuppression of hepatic dysfunction in tenascin-X-deficient mice fed a high-fat diet
Extracellular matrix glycoprotein tenascin‑X (TNX) is the largest member of the tenascin family. In the present study, the contribution of TNX to liver dysfunction was investigated by administration of high‑fat and high‑cholesterol diet with high levels of phosphorus and calcium (HFCD) to wild‑type (WT) and TNX‑knockout (KO) mice. After 16 weeks of HFCD administration, the ratio of liver weight...
متن کاملAlterations in hepatocyte insulin receptors in rats fed a choline-deficient diet.
Specific insulin binding and glycogen synthesis were studied in control hepatocytes, hepatocytes from rats fed a choline-deficient (CD) diet for 7 to 14 days, and hepatoma cells induced with a CD diet and DL-ethionine in culture. Both the binding affinity and the number of receptors were affected in hepatocytes by the CD diet. The number of receptor sites was 26,000/cell and the dissociation co...
متن کاملNaringin Improves Diet-Induced Cardiovascular Dysfunction and Obesity in High Carbohydrate, High Fat Diet-Fed Rats
Obesity, insulin resistance, hypertension and fatty liver, together termed metabolic syndrome, are key risk factors for cardiovascular disease. Chronic feeding of a diet high in saturated fats and simple sugars, such as fructose and glucose, induces these changes in rats. Naturally occurring compounds could be a cost-effective intervention to reverse these changes. Flavonoids are ubiquitous sec...
متن کاملCellular immune responses in pigs fed a vitamin E- and selenium-deficient diet.
The effects of dietary restriction of vitamin E (Vit E) and selenium (Se) on lymphocyte proliferation, natural killer (NK) cell activity, antibody-dependent cell-mediated cytotoxicity (ADCC), and on burst respiratory response of stimulated granulocytes as measured by chemiluminescence (CL) were studied in pigs. Six male weanling pigs were maintained for 25 d on a torula yeast-based diet contain...
