Ontogeny of adenylate cyclase and phosphodiesterase activities in swine tissues. 1977

H J Mersmann, and G Phinney, and L J Brown, and D G Steffen

The ontogenic patterns of the basal- and fluoride-stimulated adenylate cyclase and the cAMP phosphodiesterase activites as well as the tissue levels of cAMP were assessed in swine adipose tissue, heart, skeletal muscle, and liver. The developmental patterns were complex. However, there was a general tendency in all tissues toward lower enzyme activities in the oldest animals (150 days) for both enzymes. In adipose tissue, the decreased enzyme levels could partially be attributed to an increase in adipocyte size.

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.

D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.
