Rat hepatocyte lipogenesis and insulin-stimulated lipogenesis: comparison of metabolite effects and methods of measurement. 1987

This study compared the effects of certain metabolites (either singly or in various combinations) and the methods of measuring lipogenesis (using either 14C-acetate or 3H2O incorporation into lipids) on total lipid synthesis and insulin-stimulated total lipid synthesis in the isolated rat hepatocyte. There were quantitative and qualitative differences between 14C-acetate and 3H2O incorporation into lipids; metabolites acutely affected both lipogenesis and insulin-stimulated lipogenesis with either isotope; and insulin's effect on lipogenesis was greater when measured by 14C-acetate incorporation. It is suggested that a particular choice of incubation media and isotope may inadvertently bias a study of insulin-stimulated lipogenesis and that metabolite supply plays a major role in regulating insulin-stimulated lipogenesis.

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).

D007773 Lactates Salts or esters of LACTIC ACID containing the general formula CH3CHOHCOOR.
D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids.

D003470 Culture Media Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN. Media, Culture
