[Changes in the phospholipid composition of rat liver chromatin during treatment with hydrocortisone]. 1985

E S Gevorkian, and Zh V Iavroian, and G A Panosian

When isolating protein components of chromatin from the rat liver phospholipids are found in the fraction of nonhistone proteins but not in that of histone. Administration of hydrocortisone to animals evokes a reliable increase of the phospholipids of hydrocortisone to animals evokes a reliable increase of the phospholipids amount in the preparations of chromatin and labile-bound nonhistone proteins. In this case the fraction of phosphatidylcholine lowers considerably with a simultaneous increase of sphingomyelin and phosphatidylethanolamine. It is supposed that phospholipid metabolism in chromatin is controlled by hormones, which may be significant for mechanisms of the genetic apparatus activation by steroid hormones.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
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
D010743 Phospholipids Lipids containing one or more phosphate groups, particularly those derived from either glycerol (phosphoglycerides see GLYCEROPHOSPHOLIPIDS) or sphingosine (SPHINGOLIPIDS). They are polar lipids that are of great importance for the structure and function of cell membranes and are the most abundant of membrane lipids, although not stored in large amounts in the system. Phosphatides,Phospholipid
D002843 Chromatin The material of CHROMOSOMES. It is a complex of DNA; HISTONES; and nonhistone proteins (CHROMOSOMAL PROTEINS, NON-HISTONE) found within the nucleus of a cell. Chromatins
D005260 Female Females
D006854 Hydrocortisone The main glucocorticoid secreted by the ADRENAL CORTEX. Its synthetic counterpart is used, either as an injection or topically, in the treatment of inflammation, allergy, collagen diseases, asthma, adrenocortical deficiency, shock, and some neoplastic conditions.
