The hepatic microsomal fatty acid chain elongation system can utilize either NADPH or NADH. Elongation activity, measured as the rate of malonyl CoA incorporation into palmitoyl CoA, was enhanced by a fat-free diet and by bovine serum albumin (BSA) when either cofactor was employed. When the intermediate products were determined, it was observed that in the presence of BSA and NADPH, the predominant product was the saturated elongated fatty acid, whereas in the presence of BSA and NADH, the major intermediate was the beta-ketoacyl derivative. Employing beta-ketostearoyl CoA as substrate, BSA markedly inhibited NADH-supported beta-ketoacyl CoA reductase activity and stimulated NADPH-supported activity. Furthermore, the sum of the NADH-dependent and NADPH-dependent beta-ketoreductase activities approximated the activity obtained when both cofactors were present in the incubation medium, suggesting the existence of two beta-ketoacyl CoA reductases, one using NADH and the other, NADPH.

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
