No synergism between ionomycin and phorbol ester in fatty acid synthesis by isolated rat hepatocytes. 1986

W J Vaartjes, and C Bijleveld, and M J Geelen, and S G van den Bergh

With hepatocytes in suspension, freshly isolated from meal-fed rats, no significant effect of ionomycin on the rate of de novo fatty acid synthesis was observed, whereas phorbol myristate acetate (PMA) was strongly stimulatory. The combination of ionomycin and PMA produced the same stimulation as was seen with PMA alone. Stimulation of fatty acid synthesis by vasopressin was comparable and not additive to that observed with PMA, indicating that activation of protein kinase C is solely responsible for this metabolic effect of vasopressin. Both vasopressin and PMA increased acetyl-CoA carboxylase activity in isolated rat hepatocytes.

D008094 Lithium An element in the alkali metals family. It has the atomic symbol Li, atomic number 3, and atomic weight [6.938; 6.997]. Salts of lithium are used in treating BIPOLAR DISORDER. Lithium-7,Lithium 7
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
D008297 Male Males
D010738 Type C Phospholipases A subclass of phospholipases that hydrolyze the phosphoester bond found in the third position of GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS. Although the singular term phospholipase C specifically refers to an enzyme that catalyzes the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE (EC 3.1.4.3), it is commonly used in the literature to refer to broad variety of enzymes that specifically catalyze the hydrolysis of PHOSPHATIDYLINOSITOLS. Lecithinase C,Phospholipase C,Phospholipases, Type C,Phospholipases C
D011493 Protein Kinase C An serine-threonine protein kinase that requires the presence of physiological concentrations of CALCIUM and membrane PHOSPHOLIPIDS. The additional presence of DIACYLGLYCEROLS markedly increases its sensitivity to both calcium and phospholipids. The sensitivity of the enzyme can also be increased by PHORBOL ESTERS and it is believed that protein kinase C is the receptor protein of tumor-promoting phorbol esters.
