The concentration of 15-deoxy Delta(12,14)PGJ(2) (15dPGJ(2)) and its effects on nitric oxide generation and neutral lipid in embryos from control and neonatal streptozotocin-induced (n-stz) diabetic rats during organogenesis were investigated. 15dPGJ(2) is produced in embryos during organogenesis, and its production is lower in embryos of n-stz diabetic rats than in embryos from control rats. Nitrate and nitrite concentrations were higher in embryos from n-stz diabetic rats and were reduced in the presence of 15dPGJ(2) both in embryos from control and diabetic rats. Thus, decreased 15dPGJ(2) concentrations in embryos from n-stz diabetic rats may be related to the high nitric oxide concentrations found in those embryos. Exogenous 15dPGJ(2) decreased cholesterol and cholesteryl ester concentrations in embryos from control and n-stz diabetic rats, and reduced triacylglycerol concentrations in control embryos. Incorporation of [(14)C]acetate into lipids showed decreased de novo synthesis of cholesteryl ester and triacylglycerides in embryos from n-stz diabetic rats compared with controls. Exogenous 15dPGJ(2) reduced the incorporation of [(14)C]acetate into triacylglycerides, cholesterol and cholesteryl ester in embryos from both control and n-stz diabetic rats. 15dPGJ(2) is present in embryos during organogenesis, and reduces embryonic nitric oxide production and lipid synthesis. The lower 15dPGJ(2) concentration in embryos from n-stz diabetic rats may result in developmental alterations in this diabetic model.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008074 Lipoproteins Lipid-protein complexes involved in the transportation and metabolism of lipids in the body. They are spherical particles consisting of a hydrophobic core of TRIGLYCERIDES and CHOLESTEROL ESTERS surrounded by a layer of hydrophilic free CHOLESTEROL; PHOSPHOLIPIDS; and APOLIPOPROTEINS. Lipoproteins are classified by their varying buoyant density and sizes. Circulating Lipoproteins,Lipoprotein,Lipoproteins, Circulating
D009566 Nitrates Inorganic or organic salts and esters of nitric acid. These compounds contain the NO3- radical. Nitrate
D009569 Nitric Oxide A free radical gas produced endogenously by a variety of mammalian cells, synthesized from ARGININE by NITRIC OXIDE SYNTHASE. Nitric oxide is one of the ENDOTHELIUM-DEPENDENT RELAXING FACTORS released by the vascular endothelium and mediates VASODILATION. It also inhibits platelet aggregation, induces disaggregation of aggregated platelets, and inhibits platelet adhesion to the vascular endothelium. Nitric oxide activates cytosolic GUANYLATE CYCLASE and thus elevates intracellular levels of CYCLIC GMP.
