[Hormone-protein interactions and functional activity of the adrenal cortex during adaptation to pressure chamber hypoxia]. 1989

L I Nadol'nik, and M I Bukhmet, and V B Beluga, and V V Vinogradov

Blood plasma and adrenals of rats subjected to the exposure of deep pressure-chamber hypoxia are studied. The method of high-performance liquid chromatography is used to determine the content of corticosterone and deoxycorticosterone as well as the binding ability of transcortin relative to hydrocortisone and corticosterone before and after ectomy of endogenic hormones. It is shown that hyperactivation of adrenals occurs already the first 20 min of the experiment, which is preserved during the whole experiment lowering, to some extent, by 150, 240 min. The binding ability of transcortin considerably lowers in the acute phase of stress and after the prolonged hypoxic exposure due to a 1.5-1.9-fold decrease in the number of the binding sites in the protein. The equilibrium redistribution is revealed in the plasma between free corticosterone and corticosterone bound to transcortin at the different stages of the hypoxic exposure.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D000302 Adrenal Cortex The outer layer of the adrenal gland. It is derived from MESODERM and comprised of three zones (outer ZONA GLOMERULOSA, middle ZONA FASCICULATA, and inner ZONA RETICULARIS) with each producing various steroids preferentially, such as ALDOSTERONE; HYDROCORTISONE; DEHYDROEPIANDROSTERONE; and ANDROSTENEDIONE. Adrenal cortex function is regulated by pituitary ADRENOCORTICOTROPIN. Cortex, Adrenal
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.
