Abstract: | The addition of 200 nM asialo-orosomucoid to isolated rat hepatocytes caused a temporary reduction (down to 20% of control values) in the rate of influx of 45Ca2+ ions in the cells. After 5 min the rate of influx gradually returned to control values. The change in influx rates was dose-dependent. The rate of efflux of calcium ions from cells previously loaded with 45Ca2+ was reduced by 20%. Asialo-fetuin had qualitatively the same effect as asialo-orosomucoid; native fetuin produced no changes. |
