[Effect of ACTH on glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and transketolase activity in mitochondria and hyaloplasm of rabbit liver]. 1975

N M Gula, and Y L Germanyuk, and E M Myt'kova

The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and transketolase activities in mitochondria and hyaloplasm of the rabbit liver were studied as affected by ACTH injected daily in a dose of 10 u/kg of weight for two weeks. It was shown that the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase was unchanged neither in mitochondria nor in hyaloplasm. The transketolase activity in hyaloplasm was not changed as well. But in mitochondria it decreases by 47% (by an increase of sedoheptulose-7-phosphate S-7-P) simultaneously the ribose-5-phosphate (R-5-P) conversion is inhibited by 35%. The ratio of converted R-5-P and formed S-7-P became 2:0.68 (instead of theoretical 2:1). Administration of ACTH has no effect on the total concentration of acid-soluble ribose-containing compounds in both mitochondria and hyaloplasm.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D008930 Mitochondria, Liver Mitochondria in hepatocytes. As in all mitochondria, there are an outer membrane and an inner membrane, together creating two separate mitochondrial compartments: the internal matrix space and a much narrower intermembrane space. In the liver mitochondrion, an estimated 67% of the total mitochondrial proteins is located in the matrix.

D011817 Rabbits A burrowing plant-eating mammal with hind limbs that are longer than its fore limbs. It belongs to the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, and in contrast to hares, possesses 22 instead of 24 pairs of chromosomes.

D000324 Adrenocorticotropic Hormone An anterior pituitary hormone that stimulates the ADRENAL CORTEX and its production of CORTICOSTEROIDS. ACTH is a 39-amino acid polypeptide of which the N-terminal 24-amino acid segment is identical in all species and contains the adrenocorticotrophic activity. Upon further tissue-specific processing, ACTH can yield ALPHA-MSH and corticotrophin-like intermediate lobe peptide (CLIP).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA. Animal,Metazoa,Animalia
D014174 Transketolase An enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes the conversion of sedoheptulose 7-phosphate and D-glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate to D-ribose 5-phosphate and D-xylulose 5-phosphate in the PENTOSE PHOSPHATE PATHWAY. (Dorland, 27th ed) EC 2.2.1.1. Apotransketolase,Glycolaldehydetransferase
