The effects of adrenaline, insulin and procaine-HCl on Ca distribution in intact fat cells and on Ca binding to fat cell ghost membranes have been investigated. 1. Fat cells incubated in 45Ca containing media till isotopic equilibrium indicated that the exchangeable Ca in these cells averages 25.7 +/-3.2nmol/mg protein, which represents approximately 9.8% of their ttotal Ca content. 2. Perifusion of 45Ca prelabelled fat cells gave washout curves whose analysis conformed with three kinetically distinct Ca pools (Fig. 1). The fast exchangeable pool (Compartment A) had an efflux rate constant of 0.193 +/-0. 013 min.-. The release of Ca from the second and thrid pools (Compartments B and C) was much slower with efflux rate constants of 0.032 +/-0.0018 min.-1 and 0.0042 +/- 0.0006 min.-1 respectively. Changing the Ca concentration in the perifusing medium modified the initial fast phase and its rate constant, while added dinitrophenol (DNP) inhibited the efflux rate from the later compartments...

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D011955 Receptors, Drug Proteins that bind specific drugs with high affinity and trigger intracellular changes influencing the behavior of cells. Drug receptors are generally thought to be receptors for some endogenous substance not otherwise specified. Drug Receptors,Drug Receptor,Receptor, Drug
D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D004837 Epinephrine The active sympathomimetic hormone from the ADRENAL MEDULLA. It stimulates both the alpha- and beta- adrenergic systems, causes systemic VASOCONSTRICTION and gastrointestinal relaxation, stimulates the HEART, and dilates BRONCHI and cerebral vessels. It is used in ASTHMA and CARDIAC FAILURE and to delay absorption of local ANESTHETICS.

D000273 Adipose Tissue Specialized connective tissue composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It is the site of stored FATS, usually in the form of TRIGLYCERIDES. In mammals, there are two types of adipose tissue, the WHITE FAT and the BROWN FAT. Their relative distributions vary in different species with most adipose tissue being white.
