The introduction of a 16 alpha-hydroxyl function into the steroid nucleus was studied in resting cells of Streptomyces roseochromogenes NRRL B-1233. The oxidation product of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) was identified as 16 alpha-hydroxy DHEA by using thin-layer and gas-liquid chromatography. A linear relation between cell concentration and 16 alpha-OH-DHEA formation was observed. 16 alpha-Hydroxylase showed good activity at pH 8.0 for 16 alpha-OH-DHEA formation. The enzyme showed good activity at 3.1 x 10(-4) M DHEA. The oxidation products of pregnenolone, 4-androstene-3,17-dione, estrone, and 5-androstene-3 beta,17 beta-diol as well as of other substrates were identified as the 16 alpha-hydroxy steroid, respectively. The rates of microbial 16 alpha-hydroxylation were as follows: 76.9% for DHEA, 50.4% for pregnenolone, 43.9% for 4-androstene-3,17-dione, 34.3% for estrone, and 19.6% for 5-androstene-3 beta,17 beta-diol. The organism tested catalyzes 16 alpha-hydroxylation of a wide variety of steroids. 相似文献

The kinetics of oxidation of 15 alpha-methyl-8-aza-16-oxagona-1,3,5(10),13-tetraen-17-on with rat liver microsomal cytochrome P-450 was investigated. The kinetic parameters, Km and Vmax, of the oxidation reaction were found to be equal to 1,3 X 10(-4) M and 4.0 X 10(-7) M X s-1, respectively. Using thin-layer chromatography, mass-spectrometry, PMR-spectroscopy and reciprocal synthesis, it was shown that 3-hydroxy-15 alpha-methyl-8-aza-16-oxagona-1,3,5(10), 13-tetraen-17-on is the main reaction product. 相似文献

The oxidation of dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA), 4-androstene-3, 17-dione, and estrone with Streptomyces roseochromogenes NRRL B-1233 was studied. The oxidation products were isolated and identified as as 16alpha-hydroxy-DHEA, 16alpha-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione and 16alpha-hydroxyestrone. The yields of these three products were 85%, 41% and 18%, respectively. This indicates the substrate stereospecificity of 16alpha-hydroxylase of the organism. An interrelationship between cell growth and the formation of 16alpha-hydroxylated steroid was observed in any case. For formation of 16alpha-hydroxy-DHEA, 16alpha-hydroxylase showed good activity at DHEA concentration of 3.47 x 10(-4)M. In the case of DHEA, 16alpha-hydroxy-4-androstene-3,17-dione and 5-androstene-3beta, 16alpha, 17beta-triol were obtained after the yield of 16alpha-hydroxy-DHEA reached the maximum yield for about 30 hr. The oxidation pathway of DHEA is discussed. 相似文献

Uric acid seems to act as an electronic acceptor in the dehydrogenation of hypoxanthine catalyzed by chicken liver's xanthinedehydrogenase (XDH). Oxidation was observed in crude homogenates under anaerobic conditions, although dialyzed homogenates or purified hepatic XDH also induce a similar action either in aerobic or anaerobic conditions. The reaction pH optimum is about 6.0. Xanthine appears to be the only inhibited product of the reaction when its concentration is greater than 1 X 10(-4) M. When hypoxanthine and uric acid concentrations exceed 2 X 10(-3) M and 1 X 10(-4) M, respectively, they induce inhibition by substrate. Purine is a fairly good substrate of XDH when uric acid acts as acceptor. Allopurinol inhibits hypoxanthine oxidation by uric acid in the presence of XDH. XDH also catalyzes the dismutation of xanthine to hypoxanthine and uric acid. 相似文献

The substrate 16-methylene estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-3,17 beta-diol (16-methylene estradiol-17 beta) and its enzyme-generated alkylating product, 3-hydroxy-16-methylene estra-1,3,5(10)-triene-17-one (16-methylene estrone), were synthesized to study the 17 beta- and 20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase activities which coexist in homogeneous enzyme purified from human placental cytosol. 16-Methylene estradiol, an excellent substrate (Km = 8.0 microM; Vmax = 2.8 mumol/mg/min) when enzymatically oxidized to 16-methylene estrone in the presence of NAD+ (256 microM), inactivates simultaneously the 17 beta- and 20 alpha-activities in a time-dependent and irreversible manner following pseudo-first order kinetics (t1/2 = 1.0 h, 100 microM, pH 9.2). 16-Methylene estradiol does not inactivate the enzyme in the absence of NAD+. 16-Methylene estrone (Km = 2.7 microM; Vmax = 2.9 mumol/mg/min) is an affinity alkylator (biomolecular rate constant k'3 = 63.3 liters/mol-s, pH 9.2; KI = 261 microM; k3 = 8.0 X 10(-4) S-1, pH 7.0) which also simultaneously inhibits both activities in an irreversible time-dependent manner (at 25 microM; t1/2 = 7.2 min, pH 9.2; t1/2 = 2.7 h, pH 7.0). Substrates (estradiol-17 beta, estrone, and progesterone) protect against inhibition of enzyme activity by 16-methylene estrone and 16-methylene estradiol. Affinity radioalkylation studies using 16-methylene [6,7-3H]estrone demonstrate that 1 mol of alkylator binds per mol of inactivated enzyme dimer. Thus, 16-methylene estradiol functions as a unique substrate for the enzymatic generation of a powerful affinity alkylator of 17 beta,20 alpha-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase and should be a useful pharmacological tool. 相似文献

1-O-Alk-1'-enyl analog of platelet-activating factor (PAF, 1-O-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, alkylacetyl-GPC) was prepared semi-synthetically from choline plasmalogens of beef heart muscle. The main compound was identified mass spectrometrically as 1-hexadec-1'-enyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (16:O alk-1'-enylacetyl-GPC, 16:O vinyl form of PAF) and its platelet aggregation activity was about one-fifth of that of the corresponding 16:O alkylacetyl-GPC. The irreversible platelet aggregation activity induced by 5X10(-10) M 16:O alk-1'-enylacetyl-GPC was completely inhibited by 5X10(-7) M CV-3988 and 1X10(-7) M L-652, 731, specific PAF antagonists, and more than 99% of the activity was also lost by acid treatment. The hydrogenated product, alkylacetyl analog, showed quite same activity as that of authentic 16:O alkylacetyl-GPC. The platelets desensitized with 16:O alkylacetyl-GPC and with 16:O alk-1'-enylacetyl-GPC were not aggregated with 5X10(-10) M 16:O alk-1'-enylacetyl-GPC, suggesting that alk-1'-enylacetyl-GPC occupied the same receptor site of alkylacetyl-GPC. 相似文献

Out of the breeding season the in vitro maturation of Rana temporaria oocytes in the state of maturation inertia or close to it depends on the follicular cells. In 28 females the presence of follicular cells stimulated oocyte maturation, in 12 females inhibited it. Dibutyrylcyclic AMP (5 X 10(-5) M) increased the percentage of maturation of follicle--enclosed oocytes close to the state of maturation inertia; estrone (4 X 10(-5)-10(-7) M and more) decreased the percentage of maturation of oocytes in the state of inertia, both with and without follicular envelopes. 相似文献

Estrogen-responsive human cells derived from a specimen of well differentiated endometrial adenocarcinoma (Ishikawa line) were incubated with [3H]estradiol (E2) at various concentrations and the medium was sampled at 3, 6 and 24 h to evaluate the kinetics of removal of the hormone and the formation of unconjugated or sulfated metabolites. The detectable products of metabolism were estrone and the conjugate estradiol-3-sulfate. The latter was identified by high pressure chromatography, before and after acetylation, oxidation, and hydrolysis. The disappearance of [3H]E2 from the medium was found to follow first order kinetics between 3 and 24 h, with half-lives increasing from 4.7 to 53 h as the initial concentrations of the hormone were raised from 10(-8) to 10(-6)M. At the lowest concentration, practically all of the [3H]E2 added to the cultures was converted to estradiol-3-sulfate in 24 h, whereas at 10(-6)M oxidation to estrone was quantitatively more important than sulfation. These results indicate the presence in Ishikawa cells of an estrogen sulfotransferase of low Michaelis constant for E2, and 17 beta-oxidoreductase activity that significantly contributes to the metabolism of E2 only at higher concentrations of substrate. 相似文献

Whole cells and cell-free preparations of the methylotrophic bacteria, Pseudomonas sp. AM 1 and Achromobacter parvulus, can oxidize formate at tis concentration in the reaction medium up to 1 M. The respiration of whole cells is registered at a concentration of formate greater than 10(-2) M, while that of cell-free extracts at a formate concentration greater than 5 X 10(-5) M. This seems to be due to the presence of a permeability barrier in cells for formate. The oxidation of reduced TMPD and exogenous cytochrome c by the membrane preparations of the two bacteria is inhibited by formate and cyanide; Ki50% = 2.5 X 10(-2) and 10(-6) M, respectively. The oxidation of NADH by the membrane preparations of the bacteria is not inhibited by 1 M formate and 5 X 10(-4) M cyanide but is inhibited by formaldehyde with Ki50% = 3 X 10(-2) M. Formaldehyde has no effect on the oxidation of reduced TMPD and cytochrome c at concentrations greater than 2 X 10(-1) M. These data indicate that respiration of the studied methylotrophic bacteria in the presence of high formate concentrations should be attributed in the presence of a branched electron transport chain in them; one branch of the chain is resistant to formate and cyanide, but is sensitive to formaldehyde. 相似文献

The formation of steroid glucuronides by human granulosa cells isolated from human menopausal gonadotropin (hMG)/human chorionic gonadotropin (hCG)-stimulated cycles for in vitro fertilization was studied. From granulosa cells in suspension, 5 x 10(-7) M androstenedione was converted into estradiol (2.50 +/- 0.21 ng/ml), estrone (1.84 +/- 0.16 ng/ml), estradiol glucuronide (0.38 +/- 0.07 ng/ml), as well as estrone glucuronide (0.24 +/- 0.04 ng/ml). When 5 x 10(-7) M estradiol was incubated, estrone (15.5 +/- 0.9 ng/ml) and estradiol glucuronide (0.12 +/- 0.05 ng/ml) were detected in medium. Using the same preparation of granulosa cells, we have observed that androsterone could uniquely be transformed into androstane-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol (1.42 +/- 0.56 ng/ml), and only low amounts of steroid glucuronides could be detected. Since the formation of steroid glucuronides was extremely small when granulosa cells in suspension were used, we subsequently studied granulosa cells in culture. When 5 x 10(-7) M estradiol was added, estrone (7.8 +/- 1.3 ng/ml) and estradiol glucuronide (0.68 +/- 0.08 ng/ml) were formed. The addition of follicle-stimulating hormone did not cause a further increase in estrone or estradiol glucuronide levels. As observed with granulosa cells in suspension, incubation with androsterone led to the formation of androstane-3 alpha, 17 beta-diol (24.2 +/- 0.07 ng/ml). Our data demonstrated the presence of glucuronyltransferase in human granulosa cells obtained from preovulatory follicles of hMG/hCG-treated women. In addition, since the conversion of androsterone into C-19 steroid glucoronide was relatively small, the present finding also indicates that the glucoronyltransferase enzymatic activity in granulosa-luteal cells preferentially conjugated estrogens. 相似文献

Previous studies have shown that the frequency of gill ventilation during exposure to estrone and gonadal extracts in the round goby (Neogobius melanostomus) is linked to olfactory sensory input. Control over gill ventilation may be a regulatory mechanism used for odorant sampling during reproductive periods. In this study, we examined changes in gill ventilation in osmic and anosmic (nasal occluded), reproductive and non-reproductive male round gobies to a putative steroidal pheromone estrone (1,3,5(10)-estratrien-3-ol-17-one). We tested 5 different concentrations of estrone (10(-12) to 10(-8) M) and showed that the response threshold for estrone varied with the male's reproductive status; it was 10(-11) M in reproductive males, and rose to 10(-9) M in non-reproductive males. However, anosmic reproductive and non-reproductive males did not respond to estrone. These findings suggest that olfactory responses to putative pheromones may change depending on the reproductive status of the fish. 相似文献

Estrogens augment the stimulation of ovarian aromatase activity by follicle-stimulating hormone in cultured rat granulosa cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The effects of estrogens on ovarian aromatase activity were investigated in vitro using granulosa cells from immature hypophysectomized estrogen-primed rats. The cells were cultured for 3 days in an androgen-free medium in the presence of follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), with or without the specified estrogen. After washing, the cells were reincubated for 5 h with 10(-7) M androstenedione, and the formation of estrogens was measured. Estrogen production by control and diethylstilbestrol-treated cells was negligible, while FSH stimulated aromatase activity. Furthermore, concomitant treatment with diethylstilbestrol led to dose-dependent increases in the FSH-induced aromatase activity with an ED50 value of 4 X 10(-9) M and an apparent Vmax value 12- to 16-fold higher than those induced by FSH alone. The direct stimulatory effect of estrogens was time-dependent and was not accounted for by increases in cell protein. Various native and synthetic estrogens also augmented the FSH induction of aromatases (native estrogens: estradiol-17 beta = estrone greater than estradiol-17 alpha greater than estriol; synthetic estrogens: hexestrol greater than moxestrol greater than ethinyl estradiol much greater than chlorotrianisene and mestranol). The effect of estradiol-17 beta was dose-dependent with an ED50 value of 9 X 10(-9) M, which is within the physiological levels of follicular estradiol-17 beta. Although treatment with androgens also enhanced the FSH-induced aromatases, treatment with a progestin (R5020) or a mineralocorticoid (aldosterone) was without effect. Thus, estrogens directly augment the stimulation of granulosa cell aromatase activity by FSH. Follicular estrogens may activate intraovarian autoregulatory positive feedback mechanisms to enhance their own production, resulting in selective follicle maturation and the preovulatory estrogen surge. 相似文献

Hormonal regulation of prolactin release by human prolactinoma cells cultured in serum-free conditions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) stimulates the prolactin (PRL) release from normal lactotrophs or tumoral cell line GH3. This effect is not observed in many patients with PRL-secreting tumors. We examined in vitro the PRL response to TRH on cultured human PRL-secreting tumor cells (n = 10) maintained on an extracellular matrix in a minimum medium (DME + insulin, transferrin, selenium). Addition of 10(-8) M TRH to 4 X 10(4) cells produced either no stimulation of PRL release (n = 6) or a mild PRL rise of 32 +/- (SE) 11% (n = 4) when measured 1, 2 and 24 h after TRH addition. When tumor cells were preincubated for 24 h with 5 X 10(-11) M bromocriptine, a 47 +/- 4% inhibition of PRL release was obtained. When TRH (10(-8) M) was added, 24 h after bromocriptine, it produced a 85 +/- 25% increase of PRL release (n = 8). This stimulation of PRL release was evident when measured 1 h after TRH addition and persisted for 48 h. The half maximal stimulatory effect of TRH was 2 X 10(-10) M and the maximal effect was achieved at 10(-9) M TRH. When tumor cells were pretreated with various concentrations of triiodothyronine (T3), the PRL release was inhibited by 50% with 5 X 10(-11) M T3 and by 80% with 10(-9) M T3. Successive addition of TRH (10(-8) M) was unable to stimulate PRL release at any concentration of T3. The addition of 10(-8) M estradiol for up to 16 days either stimulated or had no effect upon the PRL basal release according to the cases. In all cases tested (n = 4), preincubation of the tumor cells with estradiol (10(-8) M) modified the inhibition of PRL release induced by bromocriptine with a half-inhibitory concentration displaced from 3 X 10(-11) M (control) to 3 X 10(-10) M (estradiol). These data demonstrate that the absence of TRH effect observed in some human prolactinomas is not linked to the absence of TRH receptor in such tumor cells. TRH responsiveness is always restored in the presence of dopamine (DA) at appropriate concentration. This TRH/DA interaction seems specific while not observed under T3 inhibition of PRL. Furthermore, estrogens, while presenting a variable stimulatory effect upon basal PRL, antagonize the dopaminergic inhibition of PRL release. 相似文献

The effects of injecting urokinase into subdermal air sacs on the back of mice was studied. Urokinase was leukotactic in the concentration range of 2 X 10(-13) to 2 X 10(-15) M. This response was absolutely dependent on the enzyme activity of the serine esterase, but was found to be independent of generation of the chemotactic complement split product C5a. At high doses of urokinase (greater than 2 X 10(-12) M), no cellular infiltration was observed. Injection of 2 X 10(-10) M urokinase i.p. led to the systemic desensitization of mice when challenged in the skin with a lower dose (2 X 10(-14) M) of urokinase. Urokinase desensitization did not alter the ability of mice to respond to the chemical chemotactic factor f-met-leu-phe or to respond to C5a-dependent chemotactic stimuli. Urokinase desensitized mice failed to demonstrate a chemotactic response to nerve growth factor, thrombin, plasmin, or factor X activating enzyme, all of which were chemotactic in non-urokinase pre-treated animals. The results of these studies indicate the presence of three physiologically independent inflammatory pathways in mice: independent of C5 and not influenced by pretreatment with urokinase, independent of C5 and inhibited by pretreatment with urokinase, and dependent on C5 and not influenced by pretreatment with urokinase. 相似文献

The effect of prostaglandins PGE1, PGE2, PGF1 alpha and PGF2 alpha was investigated on the haemolysis of pig erythrocytes induced with aspirin and hypotonic (0.119 M) NaCl solution. An inhibiting effect was observed of low concentrations (2 X 10(-5) M, 2 X 10(-4) M and 2 X 10(-3) M) of aspirin on haemolysis induced with hypotonic NaCl solution, while in a concentration of 2 X 10(-2) M aspirin itself caused haemolysis which amounted to 93% of the haemolysis induced with 0.041 M NaCl solution. No differences were observed in the degree of haemolysis inhibition in relation to the time of incubation of erythrocytes with aspirin. Aspirin concentrations from 0.035 M to 0.280 M caused slight haemolysis (9-15% of the haemolysis induced with water), the 0.560 M solution caused haemolysis corresponding to 85% of the water-induced haemolysis. None of the studied prostaglandins used in concentrations of 0.4 X 10(-3) M, 0.4 X 10(-4) M and 0.4 X 10(-5) M had any significant effect on aspirin-induced haemolysis. PGE1 and PGE2 in concentrations of 0.4 X 10(-3) M, 0.4 X 10(-4) M and 0.4 X 10(-5) M inhibited haemolysis induced with 0.119 M sodium chloride solution, and the degree of haemolysis inhibition was from 8% to 35%. Prostaglandins PGF1 alpha and PGF2 alpha in the same concentrations had no protective effect. 相似文献

The spectral method was used to study the influence of such alcohols as xylene, mannitol, sorbitol and dulcitol on photochemical oxidation of mouse oxyhemoglobin molecules (6.68 X 10(-5) M). Mannitol (5.35 X 10(-4) M) was shown to exert a protective action with regard to UV-irradiated hemoproteid: the extent to which oxyhemoglobin molecules were oxidized in the presence of mannotol was lesser than that in its absence. Sorbiol or xylene (5.35 X 10(-4) M) added to an aqueous solution of hemoproteid failed to exert a photoprotective effect with respect to protein molecules. 相似文献

N-Hydroxy-2-acetylaminofluorene has been found to be an effective inhibitor of aldehyde oxidase. At concentrations of 1 X 10(-6) M and 1 X 10(-5) M, 38% and 88% inhibition was observed on the oxidase activity towards N1-methylnicotinamide. The inhibition was of noncompetitive type and had a Ki value of 4.4 X 10(-6) M. In contrast, little inhibition of the enzyme was observed with 2-aminofluorene, 2-acetylaminofluorene and acetohydroxamic acid even at a concentration of 1 X 10(-4) M. 相似文献

Chemotactic activity of the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal and homologous hydroxyalkenals 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

The effect of the lipid peroxidation product 4-hydroxynonenal and homologous aldehydes (4-hydroxyoctenal, 4-hydroxyundecenal, 4-hydroxytetradecenal and 4-hydroxypentadecenal) on migration and polarization of rat neutrophils was examined. The most effective aldehydes were 4-hydroxyoctenal and 4-hydroxypentadecenal, which stimulated oriented migration at ED50 = 1.4 X 10(-12) M and 1.3 X 10(-12) M, resp., whereas the other aldehydes had ED50 between 1 X 10(-7) and 6 X 10(-11) M. The peptides fMet-Phe and fMet-Leu-Phe used as positive controls had ED50 values of 4.2 X 10(-7) M and 4.5 X 10(-10) M resp. The 4-hydroxyalkenals induced only a small increase of the percentage of polarized cell and did not enhance the random migration. The effects of 4-hydroxyalkenals were only observed when the incubation buffer contained bovine serum albumin (BSA), in the absence of BSA neither the aldehydes nor the peptides exhibited chemotactic properties. Since the aldehydes easily react with the sulfhydryl groups of the BSA to form the S-alkylated BSA in an equilibrium reaction, the chemotactic substance could either be the free aldehyde or the BSA-aldehyde adduct. The adduct prepared from BSA and 4-hydroxynonenal was chemotactic at doses of 0.65 to 0.0065 mg/ml, when tested in the presence of unmodified BSA. Since the adduct released free 4-hydroxyalkenal during the assay in the reverse reaction, it can not be decided whether the active principle is the aldehyde itself or the aldehyde attached to the BSA. From the effective doses of the aldehydes (10(-7) to 10(-12)M) and the BSA-aldehyde adduct it appears very unlikely that the BSA itself gained chemotactic properties through the alkylation of its sulfhydryl groups by the aldehyde. 相似文献

Noradrenaline, adrenaline, and isoproterenol induce head-to-head association in bovine spermatozoa in a Tris-HCl-buffered medium. Noradrenaline was the most and isoproterenol the least efficient. This effect was stimulated by Ca2+, Mg2+ and Mn2+, Ca2+ being more efficient than the other two ions. At 2 X 10(-6) M Ca2+, oxidation products of adrenaline dissociated spermatozoa associated by washing; at 2 X 10(-5) M Ca2+, the dissociating effect was transformed into association. The induction of association by adrenaline was blocked by both alpha- and beta-adrenergic blockers at low concentrations (2 X 10(-7) M). Both cAMP and dibutyryl substituted cAMP (db-cAMP) induced association in the Tris-buffered medium at 2 X 10(-6) M Ca2+. Further increase in association was brought about by increasing the Ca2+ concentration to 2 X 10(-5) M. Prolongation of the treatment with cAMP increased association. When combined with cAMP under the same conditions as used in the combination with adrenaline, L-propranolol did not inhibit association induced by cAMP. In an identical experiment, performed in Tyrode solution, L-propranolol inhibited association induced by cAMP. At 2 X 10(-5) M, theophylline, caffeine, and papaverine induced association in the presence of 2 X 10(-5) M Ca2+. The results are compatible with the hypothesis that catecholamines act via receptors and formation of cAMP. 相似文献

Existence of endogenous inhibitors of platelet-activating factor (PAF) with PAF in rat uterus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Two kinds of phospholipids in normal rat uterus were found to inhibit the aggregation of washed rabbit platelets induced by 1-alkyl-2-acetyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (alkylacetyl-GPC) and were named Inhibitor I and Inhibitor II and identified by mass spectrometry. Inhibitor I was a mixture of 1-acyl (16:0, 18:0, 18:1, 18:2, and 20:4)-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (acyllyso-GPC) and 1-alkyl (16:0, 18:0, and 18:1)-2-lyso-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (alkyllyso-GPC). 16:0 acyllyso-GPC was the most inhibitory, followed by 18:1, 18:2, 20:4, and 18:0 acyllyso-GPCs and 16:0 alkyllyso-GPC. Their IC50 values were in the range of 1-4 X 10(-5) M against the platelet aggregation induced by 1 X 10(-10) M 16:0 alkylacetyl-GPC, indicating that they were about 100 times weaker inhibitors than CV-3988. Inhibitor II was a mixture of N-acyl sphing-4-enyl phosphocholine (18:1/18:0, 18:1/20:0, 18:1/24:0, and 18:1/24:2). The most inhibitory of these components were 18:1/20:0 and 18:1/24:0, followed by 18:1/24:2 and 18:1/18:0, and their IC50 values were in the range of 4-5 X 10(-5) M against platelet aggregation induced by the alkylacetyl-GPC. Quantitatively, about 10(5) times higher concentrations of these inhibitors should be necessary to inhibit platelet aggregation induced by 1 X 10(-10) M 16:0 alkylacetyl-GPC. In fact, the contents of Inhibitors I and II, respectively, were approximately 10(5) times (4.7 X 10(-2) and 7.1 X 10(-2) mol/mol lipid-phosphorus of the original uterine phospholipids) than that of 16:0 alkylacetyl-GPC (1.4 X 10(-6) mol/mol lipid-phosphorus). The role of alkylacetyl-GPC in normal rat uterus is uncertain, but it coexists in situ with two kinds of endogenous inhibitors, choline containing lysoglycerophospholipids and sphingophospholipids. 相似文献
