This work represents a study of the binding and distribution of three different calcium channel blockers in the Sprague-Dawley rat liver, using an in situ perfusion technique. For this purpose, [3H] desmethoxyverapamil, [3H] PN200-110 (isradipine) and [3H] azidopine were used as binding probes interacting with calcium channels. The perfusion steps of the liver involved both portal vein and thoracic inferior vena cava cannulations as inlet and outlet respectively. The subhepatic inferior vena cava was ligated to prevent leakage of the perfusate. Buffer, containing the tracer drug, was administered via the portal vein at a rate of l mL/min and perfusate collected at the same rate within specified time intervals during 50 min. The concentration of the tracer solutes in the perfusate's outlet increased with time, and steady state was observed for all tracers at 40 min. The effect of adding cold isradipine to tracer desmethoxyverapamil, or cold verapamil to tracer PN200-110 were also assessed. First order rate constants for hepatocellular influx, efflux and calcium channel binding of the tracer substances were obtained using a simplified model from Goresky et al. [25]. These constants were mathematically manipulated and changed into permeability constants, second order binding constants, and residency times.Tracer solute influx across hepatocellular membranes is solubility-diffusion controlled, is inversely related to the molecular weights and is different in value from the efflux constants. Cold isradipine reduced the binding constant of desmethoxyverapamil by 36%, while cold verapamil reduced the binding constant of PN200-110 by 23%. Azidopine cellular distribution was low, however, binding to its receptor was analogous to desmethoxyverapamil and PN200-110. Moreover, PN200-110 had the highest residency time with no effect of cold verapamil on its receptor binding, while desmethoxyverapamil had the lowest residency time which significantly increased in the presence of cold isradipine. 相似文献

This study describes the previously uncharacterized ontogeny and regulation of truncal adipose reserves in the profoundly GH-deficient dwarf (dw/dw) rat. We show that, despite normal proportionate food intake, dw/dw rats develop abdominal leanness and hypoleptinemia (circulating leptin halved in dw/dw males, P < 0.05) during puberty. This contrasts with the hyperleptinemia seen in moderately GH-deficient Tgr rats (circulating leptin doubled at 6 wk of age, P < 0.05) and in GH receptor-binding protein (GHR/BP)-null mice (circulating leptin doubled; P < 0.05). This lean/hypoleptinemic phenotype was not completely normalized by GH treatment, but dw/dw rats developed abdominal obesity in response to neonatal MSG treatment or maintenance on a high-fat diet. Unlike Tgr rats, dw/dw rats did not become obese with age; plasma leptin levels and fat pad weights became similar to those in wild-type rats. In contrast with truncal leanness, tibial marrow adiposity was normal in male and doubled in female dwarves (P < 0.01), this increase being attributable to increased adipocyte number (P < 0.01). Neonatal MSG treatment and high-fat feeding elevated marrow adiposity in dw/dw rats by inducing adipocyte enlargement (P < 0.05). These results demonstrate that, despite lipolytic influence of GH, severe GH deficiency in dw/dw rats is accompanied by a paradoxical leanness. This lean/hypoleptinemic phenotype is not solely attributable to reduced GH signaling and does not appear to result from a reduction in nutrient intake or the ability of dw/dw adipocytes to accumulate lipid. Disruption of preadipocyte differentiation or adipocyte proliferation in the dw/dw rat may lead to the development of this unusually lean/hypoleptinemic phenotype. 相似文献
