Lipogenesis from amino acids in perfused isolated dog skin.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Lipogenesis from amino acids has been studied in isolated perfused dog skin. Uniformly labeled alanine-(14)C, glycine-(14)C, isoleucine-(14)C, leucine-(14)C, phenylalanine-(14)C, and valine-(14)C are all incorporated into the cutaneous lipids, with significant incorporation into most of the isolated lipid fractions. Efficiency of lipogenesis has been expressed relative to the extent of incorporation of acetate under the same experimental conditions. This efficiency was highest for the three branched-chain amino acids. The accuracy, uses, and limitations of the perfusion technique for the study of cutaneous lipogenesis have been evaluated.

Effect of Prostaglandins on Hepatic Cyclic Nucleotide Concentration, Carbohydrate and Lipid Metabolism
The effects of exogenous prostaglandin E(1) (PGE(1)) or prostaglandin E(2) (PGE(2)) were studied in the isolated perfused rat liver and in the intact canine liver in order to determine the possible physiological role of prostaglandins on hepatic carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. The data indicate that PGE(1) and PGE(2) did not stimulate cyclic AMP (cAMP) and cyclic GMP (cGMP) concentrations in...
متن کاملResearch Article: Isolation, characterization and biocompatibility evaluation of collagen from Thunnus tonggol skin
Acid-soluble collagen could be isolated from fish skin using acetic acid. In recent years, much attention has been paid to collagen from marine sources, mainly arising from the fact that there is no risk of contagious diseases. Moreover, by processing the fish, significant amounts of waste materials are produced which can be considered as a substitute for these collagen sources. Thunnus tonggol...
متن کاملLong‐Term Management with Adipose Tissue‐Derived Mesenchymal Stem Cells and Conventional Treatment in a Dog with Hepatocutaneous Syndrome
Hepatocutaneous syndrome (HS) is an uncommon skin disorder that occurs in conjunction with liver disease and is diagnosed based on decreased plasma concentrations of amino acids and the histopathology of skin lesions. The survival period generally is <6 months. A 10-year-old castrated male Maltese dog was presented for evaluation of lethargy, polyuria, polydipsia, and skin lesions including alo...
متن کاملComparison of the effects of various amino acids on glycogen synthesis, lipogenesis and ketogenesis in isolated rat hepatocytes.
Several amino acids were found to stimulate glycogen synthesis and lipogenesis, and to inhibit ketogenesis in isolated rat hepatocytes. When hepatocytes were incubated in the presence of 20 mM-glucose, the amino acids could be classified in decreasing order of efficiency as follows: glutamine and proline, alanine, aminoisobutyric acid, asparagine and histidine for stimulation of glycogen synthe...
متن کاملEffects of inhibition of protein synthesis by cycloheximide on lipogenesis in mammary gland and liver of lactating rats.
1. Administration of cycloheximide (an inhibitor of protein synthesis) to lactating rats raised the concentrations of amino acids, and in particular, the branched-chain amino acids (valine, leucine and isoleucine) in blood, liver and mammary gland. 2. Inhibition of protein synthesis increased the incorporation in vivo of L-[U-14C]leucine into lipids of mammary gland and liver. 3. Cycloheximide ...
