The effect of noradrenaline on oxygen uptake, on periportal and perivenous oxygen tension at surface acini, on microcirculation and on glucose output were studied in isolated rat livers perfused at constant flow with Krebs-Henseleit-hydrogen carbonate buffer containing 5mM glucose and 2mM lactate. Noradrenaline at 1 microM concentration caused a decrease in oxygen uptake, while at 0.1 microM it led to an increase. Both high and low doses of noradrenaline decreased the tissue surface oxygen tension in periportal and - after a transient rise - in perivenous areas. Noradrenaline at an overall constant flow caused an increase of portal pressure and an alteration of the intrahepatic distribution of the perfusate: at the surface of the liver and in cross sections infused trypan blue led to only a slightly heterogeneous staining after a low dose of noradrenaline but to a clearly heterogeneous staining after a high dose. Both high and low doses of noradrenaline stimulated glucose release. All effects could be inhibited by the alpha-blocking agent phentolamine. In conclusion, control of hepatic oxygen consumption by circulating noradrenaline is a complex result of opposing hemodynamic and metabolic components: the microcirculatory changes inhibit oxygen uptake; they dominate after high catecholamine doses. The metabolic effects include a stimulation of oxygen utilization; they prevail at low catecholamine levels. The noradrenergic control of glucose release is also very complex, involving direct, metabolic and indirect, hemodynamic components.  相似文献

Synergism of glucose and fructose in net glycogen synthesis was studied in perfused livers from 24-h fasted rats. With either glucose or fructose alone, net glycogen deposition did not occur (p greater than 0.10 for each), whereas the addition of both together resulted in significant glycogen accumulation (net glycogen accumulation was 0.21 +/- 0.03 mumol of glucose/g of liver/min at 2 mM fructose and 30 mM glucose, p less than 0.001). To better understand this synergism, intermediary substrate levels were compared at steady state with various glucose levels in the absence and in the presence of 2 mM fructose. Independent of fructose, hepatic glucose and glucose 6-phosphate increased proportionally when glucose level in the medium was raised (r = 0.86, p less than 0.001). Unlike glucose 6-phosphate, UDP-glucose did not consistently increase with glucose (p greater than 0.10); in fact, there was a small decrease at a very high glucose level (30 mM), a result consistent with the well-established activation of glycogen synthase by glucose. With elevated glucose, the level of glucose 6-phosphate was strongly correlated with glycogen content (r = 0.71, p less than 0.01, slope = 32). Adding fructose increased the "efficiency" of glucose 6-phosphate to glycogen conversion: the effect of a given increment in glucose 6-phosphate upon glycogen accumulation was increased 2.6-fold (r = 0.73, p less than 0.01, slope = 86). A kinetic modeling approach was used to investigate the mechanisms by which fructose synergized glycogen accumulation when glucose was elevated. Based on steady-state hepatic substrate levels, net hepatic glucose output, and net glycogen synthesis rate, the model estimated the rate constants of major enzymes and individual fluxes in the glycogen metabolic pathway. Modeling analysis is consistent with the following scenario: glycogen synthase is activated by glucose, whereas glucose-6-phosphatase was inhibited. In addition, the model supports the hypothesis that fructose synergizes net glycogen accumulation due to suppression of phosphorylase. Overall, our analysis suggests that glucose enhances the metabolic flux to glycogen by inducing a build up of glucose 6-phosphate via combined effects of mass action and glucose-6-phosphatase inhibition and activating glycogen synthase and that fructose enhances glycogen accumulation by retaining glycogen via phosphorylase inhibition.  相似文献

1. Livers from fed male rats were perfused in situ in a non-recirculating system with whole rat blood containing acetate at six concentrations, from 0.04 to 1.5 μmol/ml, to cover the physiological range encountered in the hapatic portal venous blood in vivo. 2. Below a concentration of 0.25 μmol/ml there was net production of acetate by the liver, while above it there was ner uptake with a fractional extraction of 40%. 3.No relationship was observed between blood [acetate] and hepatic ketogenesis, the ration [3-hydroxybutyrate]/[acetoacetate] or glucose output, either at low fatty acid concentration s or during oleate infusion. 4. Following the increase in serum fatty acid concentration, induced by oleate infusion, there were suquential incresase in ketogenesis and the ratio of [3-hydroxybutyrate]/[acetoacetate] while glucose output rose and lactate uptake fell significantly after in redox state. 5. There was a highly significant negative correlation between blood [acetate] and hepatic lactate uptake during oleate infusion. At the highest acetate concentration of 1.5 μmol/ml there was a small net hepatic lactate output. After oleate infusion ceased, lactate uptake increased, but the negative correlation between blood [acetate] and hepatic lactate uptake persisted. 6. Livers were also perfused with iether [1-14C]acetate or [U-14C]lactate at a concentration of acetate of either 0.3 or 1.3 μmol/ml of blood. With [1-14C]acetate, most of the radioactivity was recovered as fatty acids at the lower concentration of blood acetate. At the higher blood [acetate] a considerably smaller proportion of the radioactivity was recovered in lipids. With [U-14C]lactate the reverse pattern obtained i.e., recovery was greater at the high concentration of acetate and fell at the low concentration. Fatty acid biosynthesis, measured with 3H2O, was stimulated from 2.4 to 6.6 μmol of fatty acid/g of liver per h by high blood [acetate] although the contribution of (acetate+lactate) to synthesis remained constant at 33–38% of the total. 7. These results emphasize the important role of the liver in regulating blood acetate concentrations and indicate that it can be major hepatic substrate. Acetate taken up by the liver appeared to compete directly with lactate, for lipogenesis and metabolism and acetate uptake was inhibited by raised bloodd [lactate].  相似文献

The aqueous glucose concentration of rat milk is about 0.29mM, apparently unmodified by prolonged storage in the gland. Infused 3-0-methylglucose reaches a milk concentration similar to its measured mammary intracellular concentration. Milk glucose may therefore reflect its intracellular concentration in the mammary secretory cell.  相似文献

Livers from fed male rats were perfused in a non-recirculating system with undiluted rat blood containing 14 mM glucose. In these experiments there was a substantial uptake of glucose which was stimulated by insulin. Perfusion with blood containing carboxyhaemoglobin at a concentration of 40% of total haemoglobin lowered O2 consumption and abolished hepatic glucose uptake in control and insulin-infused livers, respectively. In experiments with rat erythrocytes resuspended in buffer to haematocrit values of 38 and 22%, O2 consumption and control and insulin-stimulated rates of glucose uptake were similar to corresponding perfusions with undiluted blood and blood containing carboxyhaemoglobin. It is concluded that serum factors are of relatively small importance and that hepatic glucose uptake is dictated by O2 supply.  相似文献

Rat serum, in which the complement system had been activated by incubation with zymosan, increased the glucose and lactate output, and reduced and redistributed the flow in isolated perfused rat liver clearly more than the control serum. Heat inactivation of the rat serum prior to zymosan incubation abolished this difference. Metabolic and hemodynamic alterations caused by the activated serum were dose dependent. They were almost completely inhibited by the cyclooxygenase inhibitor indomethacin and by the thromboxane antagonist 4-[2-(4-chlorobenzesulfonamide)-ethyl]-benzene-acetic acid (BM 13505), but clearly less efficiently by the 5'-lipoxygenase inhibitor nordihydroguaiaretic acid and the leukotriene antagonist N-(3-[3-(4-acetyl-3-hydroxy-2-propyl-phenoxy)-propoxy]-4-chlorine-6-meth yl- phenyl)-1H-tetrazole-5-carboxamide sodium salt (CGP 35949 B). Control serum and to a much larger extent complement-activated serum, caused an overflow of thromboxane B2 and prostaglandin F2 alpha into the hepatic vein. It is concluded that the activated complement system of rat serum can influence liver metabolism and hemodynamics via release from nonparenchymal liver cells of thromboxane and prostaglandins, the latter of which can in turn act on the parenchymal cells.  相似文献

In isolated perfused rat liver leukotriene C4 and D4 but not B4 and E4 enhanced glucose and lactate output and lowered perfusion flow similar to the thromboxane A2 analogue U46619, extracellular ATP and prostaglandin F2 alpha. The kinetics of the metabolic changes caused by leukotriene C4 and D4 resembled those effected by U46619 and ATP but not those elicited by prostaglandin F2 alpha; the kinetics of the hemodynamic changes were similar only to those caused by U46619. The results show that leukotrienes could be important modulators of hepatic metabolism and hemodynamics and point to a complex intra-organ cell-cell communication between non-parenchymal and parenchymal cells.  相似文献

The assay for the fucose-binding protein described by Lehrman & Hill [(1983) Methods Enzymol. 98, 309-319] was adapted for the measurement of the asialoglycoprotein receptor in rat liver. The amount of ligand bound to the plasma-membrane-associated or affinity-purified receptor was acutely sensitive to the concentrations of Triton X-100 and NaCl in the assay: 0.02% (v/v) Triton X-100 increased ligand binding to the two preparations by 100% and 40% respectively. Higher concentrations of detergent progressively decreased binding, and in 0.32% Triton X-100 it was about 30% of the value obtained in detergent-free buffer. The addition of increasing concentrations of NaCl to the assay progressively inhibited ligand binding to the membrane-associated receptor, whereas there was a 60% increase in binding to the pure receptor in the presence of 0.1-0.2 M-NaCl. These effects could not be identified in the original assay procedure described by Hudgin, Pricer, Ashwell, Stockert & Morell [(1974) J. Biol. Chem. 249, 5536-5543]. Using optimal assay conditions the binding of 125I-beta-D-galactosyl-bovine serum albumin to both the membrane-associated and purified receptor was inhibited by 50% by 1 nM-beta-D-galactosyl-bovine serum albumin and -asialoorosomucoid and by approx. 100 microM-beta-L-fucosyl-bovine serum albumin, whereas beta-D-galactose, lactose and beta-L-fucose had no effect on ligand binding up to concentrations of 1 mM, 500 microM and 5 mM respectively. KD values of 0.94 and 1.25 nM and Bmax. values of 40 and 1660 pmol of D-galactosyl-bovine serum albumin bound/mg of receptor were obtained for the membrane-bound and purified receptor respectively. Hill-plot analysis of the same data gave slopes of 0.96 and 1.01. Scatchard analysis of saturation-binding studies with other subcellular fractions indicated that the receptor was distributed in the proportions 72:23:2.5:2.5 between total microsomal fractions, plasma membrane, Golgi and canalicular membrane respectively. The receptor was about 1% of the total protein in each compartment and was estimated to be about 0.3% of the total liver protein.  相似文献

1) In isolated perfused rat liver, the intracellular ([14C]urea-accessible minus [3H]inulin accessible) water space was determined from the washout profiles of simultaneously infused [3H]inulin and [14C]urea. The washout profile of infused [14C]urea was indistinguishable from that of infused tritiated water. During normotonic perfusions and without hormones or amino acids in influent, the intracellular water space was 548 +/- 10 microliters/g liver wet weight (n = 44). Use of [3H]raffinose instead of [3H]inulin as marker for the extracellular space yielded almost identical values for the intracellular water space (i.e. 98.9 +/- 0.2% of that found with [3H]inulin/[14C]urea). When volume-regulatory K+ fluxes were completed following hypo- and hypertonic exposure of perfused rat livers and a steady state was reached, the intracellular water space was found to be increased and decreased, respectively. The extent of anisotonic exposure was linearly related to the change of intracellular water space. 2) Anisotonicity-, glutamine- and glycine-induced liver mass changes were almost fully explained by the simultaneously occurring alterations of the intracellular water space, indicating that cell volume changes in perfused rat liver under these conditions are not accompanied by significant changes of the extracellular space. Volume-regulatory K+ (plus accompanying anion) efflux following hypotonic perfusion accounted for about 70-85% of regulatory cell volume decrease, which occurred during the first 10 min of hypotonic exposure. 3) Cell volume of isolated hepatocytes was determined as the "hepatocrit" after gentle centrifugation of the cell suspension.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Electrical stimulation of the nerve bundles around the hepatic artery and the portal vein activates both the sympathetic and parasympathetic liver nerves; the sympathetic effects clearly predominate. Parasympathetic effects were therefore studied in the rat liver perfused in situ by perivascular nerve stimulation in the presence of both an alpha- and a beta-blocker. In the presence of the alpha-blocker phentolamine and the beta-blocker propranolol all sympathetic nerve effects were prevented; the remaining parasympathetic stimulation had no influence on the basal glucose and lactate metabolism nor on the hemodynamics. Insulin alone, with both alpha- and beta-blockade, provoked a small, parasympathetic nerve stimulation in the presence of insulin a more pronounced enhancement of glucose utilization. In the presence of an alpha- and beta-blocker perivascular nerve stimulation antagonized the glucagon stimulated glucose release, but did not affect lactate exchange. The nerve effect was abolished by the parasympathetic antagonist atropine. Acetylcholine or insulin, with both an alpha- and beta-blocker present, mimicked the effects of nerve stimulation antagonizing the glucagon-stimulated glucose release. Nerve stimulation in the presence of insulin was more effective than either stimulus alone. The present results show that in rat liver stimulation of the parasympathetic hepatic nerves has direct effects on glucose metabolism synergistic with insulin and antagonistic to glucagon.  相似文献

A focus of current diabetes research is the development of insulinomimetic compounds for oral treatment of diabetes and its associated cardiac complications. Screening compounds for their potential insulinomimetic effects usually involves the use of radioactive isotopes. The focus of this study was to investigate a nonradioactive fluorescent compound for its use in screening insulinomimetic compounds. The indicator 2-(N-(7-nitrobenz-2-oxa-1,3-diazol-4-yl)amino)-2-deoxyglucose (2-NBDG) has been used by some workers to measure glucose uptake in Escherichia coli and Candida albicans. We propose that 2-NBDG will also be a suitable indicator for mammalian cell lines, in particular rat cardiomyocytes. We found that the indicator could give a reliable reproducible standard curve following appropriate dilution and is taken up by isolated cardiomyocytes. The insulinomimetic compounds vanadyl sulfate and sodium molybdate showed rates of glucose uptake similar to that of insulin. Furthermore, the rate of uptake measured for insulin using this technique (0.04 +/- 0.003 nmol x min(-1) x 10(6) cells(-1) is comparable with previous literature using 2-deoxyglucose uptake measurements on isolated myocytes (0.040 nmol x min(-1) x 10(6) cells(-1), demonstrating the validity of this fluorescent compound for glucose uptake studies.  相似文献

The aim of the present study was to investigate the actions of zymosan on glucose release and fatty acid oxidation in perfused rat livers and to determine if Kupffer cells and Ca2+ ions are implicated in these actions. Zymosan caused stimulation of glycogenolysis in livers from fed rats. In livers from fasted rats zymosan caused gradual inhibition of glucose production and oxygen consumption from lactate plus pyruvate. Ketogenesis, oxygen consumption, and [14C-]-CO2 production were inhibited by zymosan when the [1-14C]-palmitate was supplied exogenously. However, ketogenesis and oxygen consumption from endogenous sources were not inhibited. An interference with substrate-uptake by the liver may be the cause of the changes in gluconeogenesis and oxidation of fatty acids from exogenous sources. The pretreatment of the rats with gadolinium chloride and the removal of Ca2+ ions did not suppress the effects of zymosan on glucose release, a finding that argues against the participation of Kupffer cells or Ca2+ ions in the liver responses. The hepatic metabolic changes caused by zymosan could play a role in the systemic metabolic alterations reported to occur after in vivo zymosan administration.  相似文献

In animals receiving total parenteral nutrition (TPN), infection impairs net hepatic glucose uptake (NHGU) by 40% and induces mild hyperinsulinemia. In the normal animal, the majority of the glucose taken up by the liver is diverted to lactate, but in the infected state, lactate release is curtailed. Because of the hyperinsulinemia and reduced NHGU, more glucose is utilized by peripheral tissues. Our aims were to determine the role of infection-induced hyperinsulinemia in 1) limiting the fall in NHGU and hepatic lactate release and 2) increasing the proportion of glucose disposed of by peripheral tissues. Chronically catheterized dogs received TPN for 5 days via the inferior vena cava. On day 3, a fibrin clot with a nonlethal dose of E. coli was placed into the peritoneal cavity; sham dogs received a sterile clot. On day 5, somatostatin was infused to prevent endogenous pancreatic hormone secretion, and insulin and glucagon were replaced at rates matching incoming hormone concentrations observed previously in sham or infected dogs. The TPN-derived glucose infusion was adjusted to maintain a constant arterial plasma glucose level of approximately 120 mg/dl. after a basal blood sampling period, the insulin infusion rate was either maintained constant (infected time control, Hi-Ins, n = 6; sham time control, Sham, n = 6) or decreased (infected + reduced insulin, Lo-Ins; n = 6) for 180 min to levels seen in noninfected dogs (from 23 +/- 2 to 12 +/- 1 microU/ml). Reduction of insulin to noninfected levels decreased NHGU by 1.4 +/- 0.5 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1) (P < 0.05) and nonhepatic glucose utilization by 4.8 +/- 0.8 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1) (P < 0.01). The fall in NHGU was caused by a decline in HGU (Delta-0.6 +/- 0.4 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1)) and a concomitant increase in hepatic glucose production (HGP, Delta0.8 +/- 0.5 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1)); net hepatic lactate release was not altered. Hyperinsulinemia that accompanies infection 1) primarily diverts glucose carbon to peripheral tissues, 2) limits the fall in NHGU by enhancing HGU and suppressing HGP, and 3) does not enhance hepatic lactate release, thus favoring hepatic glucose storage. Compensatory hyperinsulinemia plays a critical role in facilitating hepatic and peripheral glucose disposal during an infection.  相似文献

In single-pass perfused rat liver, the sinusoidal uptake of infused 3H-labelled leukotriene (LT) C4 (10 nmol.l-1) was inhibited by sulfobromophthalein. Inhibition was half-maximal at sulfobromophthalein concentrations of approximately 1.2 mumol.l-1 in the influent perfusate and leukotriene uptake was inhibited by maximally 34%. Sulfobromophthalein (20 mumol.l-1) also decreased the uptake of infused [3H]LTE4 (10 nmol.l-1) by 31%. Indocyanine green (10 mumol.l-1) inhibited the sinusoidal [3H]LTC4 uptake by 19%. Replacement of sodium in the perfusion medium by choline decreased the uptake of infused [3H]LTC4 (10 nmol.l-1) by 56%, but was without effect on the uptake of sulfobromophthalein. The canalicular excretion of LTC4, LTD4 and N-acetyl-LTE4 was inhibited by sulfobromophthalein. In contrast, the proportion of polar omega-oxidation metabolites recovered in bile following the infusion of [3H]LTC4 was increased. Taurocholate, which had no effect on the sinusoidal leukotriene uptake, increased bile flow and also the biliary elimination of the radioactivity taken up. With increasing taurocholate additions, the amount of LTD4 recovered in bile increased at the expense of LTC4. Following the infusion of [3H]LTD4 (10 nmol.l-1), a major biliary metabolite was LTC4 indicating a reconversion of LTD4 to LTC4. In the presence of taurocholate (40 mumol.l-1), however, this reconversion was completely inhibited. The findings suggest the involvement of different transport systems in the sinusoidal uptake of cysteinyl leukotrienes. LTC4 uptake is not affected by bile acids and has a sodium-dependent and a sodium-independent component, the latter probably being shared with organic dyes. Sulfobromophthalein also interferes with the canalicular transport of LTC4, LTD4 and N-acetyl-LTE4, but not with the excretion of omega-oxidized cysteinyl leukotrienes. The data may be relevant for the understanding of hepatic leukotriene processing in conditions like hyperbilirubinemia or cholestasis.  相似文献

The detection of the insulin-dependent glucose uptake is a vital part in the research of diabetes. To establish a sensitive assay for measuring glucose uptake in living cells, we synthesized a FITC linked d-glucosamine 2 as a probe. 2 was obtained by the reaction of commercially available d-glucosamine hydrochloride and FITC and was determined as a single anomeric form by 1H NMR and 13C NMR. 2 exhibited good water solubility and stability. An uptake assay in HepG2 cells with or without insulin demonstrated that FITC showed strong cellular uptake, whereas uptake of 2 is much less but is insulin dependent. This suggests that 2 is specifically transported into cells through a receptor that is regulated by insulin and has potential application in screening of compounds or genes that regulate the insulin-dependence in cell-based assays.  相似文献

Multiple, noneliminated references ((51)Cr-labeled erythrocytes, (125)I-albumin, [(14)C]- or [(3)H]sucrose, and [(2)H](2)O), together with [(3)H]hippurate or [(14)C]benzoate, were injected simultaneously into the portal vein of the perfused rat liver during single-pass delivery of benzoate (5-1,000 microM) and hippurate (5 microM) to investigate hippurate formation kinetics and transport. The outflow dilution data best fit a space-distributed model comprising vascular and cellular pools for benzoate and hippurate; there was further need to segregate the cellular pool of benzoate into shallow (cytosolic) and deep (mitochondrial) pools. Fitted values of the membrane permeability-surface area products for sinusoidal entry of unbound benzoate were fast and concentration independent (0.89 +/- 0.17 ml. s(-1). g(-1)) and greatly exceeded the plasma flow rate (0.0169 +/- 0.0018 ml. s(-1). g(-1)), whereas both the influx of benzoate into the deep pool and the formation of hippurate occurring therein appeared to be saturable. Results of the fit to the dilution data suggest rapid uptake of benzoate, with glycination occurring within the deep and not the shallow pool as the rate-determining step.  相似文献

Hepatic triacylglycerol-lipase-mediated hydrolysis and liver uptake of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) lipid components were studied in a recirculating rat liver perfusion, a situation where the enzyme is physiologically expressed and active at the vascular bed. Human native HDL were labelled with tri-[3H]oleoylglycerol, [N-methyl-3H]dipalmitoylphosphatidylcholine (DPPC), 1-palmitoyl,2-[14C]linoleoylphosphatidylcholine (PLPC), 1-palmitoyl,2-[14C]linoleoylphosphatidyl-ethanolamine (PLPE) and 1-palmitoyl,2-[14C]palmitoylphosphatidylethanolamine (DPPE). (1) Relative degradation rates of phosphatidylethanolamine molecular species were 2- to 10-fold higher than those of phosphatidylcholine. Considering [14C] PLPC and [14C] PLPE as representative of HDL phosphatidylcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine, respectively, the amounts of lysophosphatidylcholine and lysophosphatidylethanolamine generated after a 60 min perfusion were comparable. The enzyme showed a clear preference for the molecular species bearing an unsaturated fatty acid at the 2 position of glycerol; this was the most pronounced in the case of phosphatidylethanolamine molecular species. (2) Relative liver uptake of HDL-phosphatidylethanolamine was 4- to 5-fold higher than that of HDL-phosphatidylcholine, irrespective of the constitutive fatty acids. Nevertheless, mass estimation indicated that 3 times more molecules of phosphatidylcholine than of phosphatidylethanolamine were transferred. No correlation could be found between the relative degradation rates of phospholipids and their relative liver uptake, indicating a dissociation between the two processes. (3) Perfusate decay and relative liver uptake of labelled HDL-triacylglycerol were higher than that of any phospholipid class. No circulating radiolabelled free fatty acids accumulated in the perfusate, but they were found acylated into liver cell phospholipids and triacylglycerols. (4) A prior 10-12-min washout of the liver vascular bed with heparin removed over 80% of the hepatic lipase activity, as assessed by specific immunoinhibition. Hepatic lipase-depleted liver displayed impaired phospholipid hydrolysis and triacyglycerol uptake, whereas the transfer of HDL phospholipids to liver tissue was unaffected.  相似文献
