The anti-apoptotic effect of ghrelin in the renal tissue of chronic hypoxic rats
Introduction: Ghrelin is an endogenous peptide that has diverse functions in the body. One of the newly recognized roles of this peptide is its antiapoptotic effect. However, this function has not been investigated in normobaric hypoxia- induced apoptosis in body organs. This study will examine the effect of ghrelin treatment on Bax-Bcl-2 gene expression in the kidney of chronic hypoxic rats. ...
متن کاملGlutamine-dependent carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase and other enzyme activities related to the pyrimidine pathway in spleen of Squalus acanthias (spiny dogfish).
The first two steps of urea synthesis in liver of marine elasmobranchs involve formation of glutamine from ammonia and of carbamoyl phosphate from glutamine, catalysed by glutamine synthetase and carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase, respectively [Anderson & Casey (1984) J. Biol. Chem. 259, 456-462]; both of these enzymes are localized exclusively in the mitochondrial matrix. The objective of this st...
متن کاملAcute effects of glucagon on citrulline biosynthesis.
Mitochondria isolated from livers of rats fed on different diets showed altered capacity to synthesize citrulline. Glucagon, 15 min after injection, increases citrulline biosynthesis, except after the high-protein diet. A significant correlation between citrulline biosynthesis and N-acetylglutamate content with and without glucagon treatment was shown when rats were fed on a standard or a carbo...
متن کاملInfluence of Pancreatic Hormones on Enzymes Concerned with Urea Synthesis in Rat Liver.
1. The activities of enzymes of the urea cycle [carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, ornithine transcarbamoylase, argininosuccinate synthetase, argininosuccinase (these last two comprising the arginine-synthetase system) and arginase] have been measured in control, alloxan-diabetic and glucagon-treated rats. In addition, measurements were made on alloxan-diabetic rats treated with protamine-zinc-ins...
متن کاملRole of dexamethasone and insulin on the development of the five urea-cycle enzymes in cultured rat foetal hepatocytes.
The activity changes of the urea-cycle enzymes were monitored in cultured foetal hepatocytes after dexamethasone and insulin treatments. Addition of dexamethasone induced the development of carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase, argininosuccinate synthetase, argininosuccinase and arginase activities as soon as day 16.5 of gestation. When insulin was added together with dexamethasone, it markedly inhib...
