Inhibition of sheep vesicular gland oxygenase by unsaturated fatty acids from skin of essential fatty acid deficient rats.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Unsaturated fatty acids present in the lipids of essential fatty acid (EFA)deficient rats were found to inhibit the oxygenase activity of sheep vesicular gland in an instantaneous, reversible manner. However, competitive inhibition by high levels of these acids cannot account fully for the reported loss of prostaglandin synthetic capacity of these EFA-deficient animals. A similar competitive inhibition pattern was observed with several anti-inflammatory drugs tested, whereas others also exhibited a time-dependent destructive effect on the oxygenase of the sheep vesicular gland. The relative effectiveness of these drugs in treating inflammations of the skin paralleled their in vitro effects on the vesicular gland oxygenase . --

The inhibition of the fatty acid oxygenase of sheep vesicular gland by antioxidants.
Antioxidants inhibit the fatty acid oxygenase of sheep vesicular gland and soybean lipoxygenase in an ins~~n~us, reversible manner. Their in~bito~ effectiveness was not related to their traditional antioxidant potencies but seemed to depend on the nature of the enzyme. The destructive effect of eicosa-58, I I, +tetraynoic acid, a substrate analog, on vesicular gland oxygenase could be prevented...
متن کاملChemical composition and antibacterial properties of essential oil and fatty acids of different parts of Ligularia persica Boiss
Objectives: The objective of this research was to investigate the chemical composition and antibacterial activities of the fatty acids and essential oil from various parts of Ligularia persica Boiss (L. persica) growing wild in north of Iran. Materials and Methods: Essential oils were extracted by using Clevenger-type apparatus. Antibacterial activity was tested on two Gram-positive and two Gra...
متن کاملEffect of metal-complexing agents on the oxygenase activity of sheep vesicular glands.
A variety of agents that are known to complex copper can reversibly inhibit the oxygenation of unsaturated fatty acids by particulate preparations from sheep vesicular glands. The time-dependent activation of the oxygenase preparation by phenol, on the other hand, was not affected by the copper chelator, diethyldithiocarbamate. The results suggest that protein-bound copper could play a role in ...
متن کاملAcetylenic inhibitors of sheep vesicular gland oxygenase.
Biosynthesis of prostaglandins could be stopped by several acetylenic acids. They interfered with the oxygenase activity of the sheep vesicular gland enzymic system in two distinct patterns: an instantaneous, concentration-dependent effect and a time-dependent, destructive effect. Constants for both effects are reported. No measurable oxygen consumption tias observed with the acetylenic analogs...
متن کاملDetermination and study the fatty acid contents and their seasonal variations by temperature of a dominant bivalve(Callista umbonella) of Haleh Creek
In this study fatty acid contents, because of the importance in human’s life, and their seasonal variations of a dominant bivalve of Haleh Creek were determined for the first time. Fatty acid identification was done by GC-MS (Gas Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry) method. After collecting and dissecting the species from the shells, samples weighed and frozen for further experiments. All the samp...
