Abstract: | PGA1 was incubated with rabbit renal cortical homogenates containing HSA (0–4.5%). The ability of this tissue to readily metabolize PGA1 progressively decreased with increasing HSA levels in the incubates The rate of disappearance of 3H-PGA1 was twice as rapid in rats treated with salicylic acid (S. A.) in comparison to control animals; since only 30% of the injected radioactivity was bound to the plasma of the S.A. treated rats, as compared to 90% bound to control plasma, an association may exist between the degree of binding of 3H-PGA1 and its rate of clearance. The studies indicate that PGA1 interaction with HSA decreases its metabolism , and slows down its clearance , implicating HSA as a possible factor in prostaglandins metabolism . |
