Hepatic catalase changes and leucine incorporation in talc-injected mice.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The s.c. injection of talc, MgSiO3, into mice results in a de crease of hepatic catalase activity. A transient, but marked rise in catalase activity was observed on the 4th day following talc injection. This rise in activity was manifest primarily in the mitochondrial fraction. A concomitant increased incorporation of radioactive leucine occurred in the microsomal fraction. The relationship between the increased catalase activity and in creased incorporation of leucine is discussed with respect to enzyme biosynthesis.

Effect of cobalt on the synthesis and degradation of hepatic catalase in vivo.
1. The administration of CoCl(2) to rats caused a decrease in hepatic catalase activity as well as a decrease in the amount of catalase protein as measured by immunological assay. The mitochondrial enzyme decreased progressively over 2 days, whereas the cytosol enzyme decreased over 12h and then remained essentially unchanged for 2 days after a single injection of cobalt. 2. Incorporation of [(...
متن کاملRestorative Effect of Vitamin E Supplementation on Hepatic Lipid Peroxidation and Lipid Profile Changes Induced by Sublethal γ-Radiation in BALB/c Mice
In order to find a prophylactic supplementation for individuals who are at risk of exposure to ionizing radiation, we attempted to evaluate the effect of Vitamin E (Vit-E), a biological free radical scavenger, on restoration of hepatic lipid peroxidation (LPO) and lipid profile (LP) changes induced by sublethal g- radiation in BALB/c mice. The concentrations of cholesterol and phospholipid were...
متن کامل[Methyl-14C]-choline incorporation into nude mice bearing tumor xenografts-correlation with [methyl-3H]-thymidine: A pilot study
Background: Many in vitro studies suggested that choline incorporation into many types of tumors is related to cell proliferation. Whether in vivo choline incorporation is related also to cell proliferation or not was my question. Therefore, the aim of this pilot study was to investigate the relationship of in vivo [methyl- 14C]-choline incorporation and in vivo [methyl-3H]- thymidine incorpora...
متن کاملAlterations in the Fine Structure of Liver Cells during Depressed Catalase Synthesis in the Mouse.
Male Strong A mice were injured by single subcutaneous injections of talcum or re ceived intraperitoneal inoculations of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells. A depression in liver catalase activity was noted following talcum injury and tumor growth, and certain fine-structural alterations were observed in the liver parenchymal cells. The changes in the endoplasmic reticulum, other cytoplasmic component...
متن کاملHydroalcoholic extract of Iranian Caper leaves protects hepatic toxicity by suppressing oxidative stress in mice
Capparis spinosa L. (Caper) is known as an aromatic plant, commonly used in Mediterranean diet, possessing numerous antioxidant compounds such as phenols, rutin, tocopherols, carotenoids, and vitamin C in its leaves. Thus, the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effects of Iranian Caper leaves extract on oxidative stress caused by CCl4 in mice liver. In this study, a total numbe...
