Glucagon, cyclic AMP and adrenaline stimulate the degradation of low-density lipoprotein by cultured rat hepatocytes.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Rat hepatocytes were preincubated for 16 h with hormones or drugs and then for a further 8 h with 125I-human low-density lipoprotein (LDL). Glucagon (via cyclic AMP) and adrenaline (via cyclic AMP and alpha-effects) increased the binding of 125I-LDL to the LDL receptor, and the degradation of LDL to [125I]iodotyrosine. The effects on degradation were antagonized by dexamethasone, and the action of cyclic AMP on binding and degradation was inhibited by actinomycin D. The results are discussed in relation to the control of lipoprotein metabolism in diabetes.

Studies on Eel Liver Functions Using Perfused Liver and Primary Cultured Hepatocytes
Perfused eel livers, isolated eel hepatocytes, and cultured eel hepatocytes are used to investigate eel liver functions such as gluconeogenesis, glycogen synthesis, and lipoprotein synthesis and methods for preparation are described. A novel phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) synthesis pathway from pyruvate in gluconeogenesis in eel liver was elucidated and PEP synthesis pathways in eel, rat, and pigeon...
متن کاملEffects of phorbol esters on alpha 1-adrenergic-mediated and glucagon-mediated actions in isolated rat hepatocytes.
Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA) inhibited the stimulation of ureogenesis produced by adrenaline, but produced a minimal displacement to the right of the dose-response curve for glucagon. However, PMA diminished the accumulation of cyclic AMP induced by glucagon. Dissociation between the cyclic AMP concentrations and the metabolic effects induced by glucagon is evidenced in the presence of...
متن کاملEffect of cyclic AMP-dependent hormones and Ca2+-mobilizing hormones on the Ca2+ influx and polyphosphoinositide metabolism in isolated rat hepatocytes.
The effect of the interaction between the Ca2+-mobilizing hormone adrenaline, used as alpha-adrenergic agonist, and cyclic AMP-dependent hormones, including beta-adrenergic agonists and glucagon, on the initial 45Ca2+ uptake rate and polyphosphoinositide metabolism were investigated in isolated rat hepatocytes. Each hormone alone increased the initial 45Ca2+ uptake rate. When adrenaline was add...
متن کاملInsulin and glucagon as a new regulator system for tryptophan oxygenase activity demonstrated in primary cultured rat hepatocytes.
The basal activity of tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase (EC-1.13.11.11) in primary cultured rat hepatocytes decreased during culture, but addition of either tryptophan (2.5 x 10(-3) M) or dexamethasone (1 x 10(-6) M) could prevent the decrease. Addition of both compounds caused severalfold induction of activity. Glucagon (1 x 10(-8) M) alone did not induce the activity, but its inductive effect in com...

The effects of pancreatic hormones and cyclic AMP on the induction of ketogenesis and long-chain fatty acid oxidation were studied in primary cultures of hepatocytes from fetal and newborn rabbits. Hepatocytes were cultivated during 4 days in the presence of glucagon (106 M), forskolin (2 x 10'M), dibutyryl cyclic AMP (10-' M), 8-bromo cyclic AMP (10-' M) or insulin (10-' M). Ketogenesis and fa...
