The stress induced increase of liver phosphorylase A and cyclic AMP in adrenomedullectomized and adrenalectomized rats. 1979

S Németh, and J Kolena, and R Kvetnanský, and T Torda

In adult male rats injected with Pentobarbital, 50 mg.kg-1 i.p. and subjected immediately after administration of the anaesthetic to 400 revolutions (lasting of 6 min and 40 s) in rotating Noble-Collip drums the activity of the active form of hepatic phosphorylase was increased at time 0 after injury without respect to previous adrenomedullectomy or adrenalectomy (7 weeks or 10 days before, respectively). Completeness of surgery was checked by plasma catecholamines which were essentially near zero. The level of liver cAMP was increased in intact and adrenomedullectomized animals at time zero. 90 min after injury a recovery of enzyme activity towards basal levels was observed in contrast to cAMP which was increased in all the three groups. A net glycogenolytic response was found in the injured animals irrespective of previous surgery. It is concluded that for the stress induced activation of hepatic phosphorylase the presence of adrenal cortical and medullary tissue is not always indispensable.

D006005 Phosphorylases A class of glucosyltransferases that catalyzes the degradation of storage polysaccharides, such as glucose polymers, by phosphorolysis in animals (GLYCOGEN PHOSPHORYLASE) and in plants (STARCH PHOSPHORYLASE). Glucan Phosphorylase,Phosphorylase,alpha-Glucan Phosphorylases
D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.

D000313 Adrenal Medulla The inner portion of the adrenal gland. Derived from ECTODERM, adrenal medulla consists mainly of CHROMAFFIN CELLS that produces and stores a number of NEUROTRANSMITTERS, mainly adrenaline (EPINEPHRINE) and NOREPINEPHRINE. The activity of the adrenal medulla is regulated by the SYMPATHETIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. Adrenal Medullas,Medulla, Adrenal,Medullas, Adrenal
D000315 Adrenalectomy Excision of one or both adrenal glands. (From Dorland, 28th ed) Adrenalectomies
