[Mechanisms of liver transketolase activation in B1-deficient rats after administration of thiamine]. 1979

Gel filtration and equilibrium dialysis demonstrated that the hyaloplasmic fraction of the liver of B1-deficient rats does not practically bind C-TDP in vitro. An addition of the excess of non-labelled coenzyme does not increase the transketolase activity. The data obtained suggest that transketolase activation in the hyaloplasmic fraction of the liver of B1-deficient rats after administration of thiamine in vivo is due to stimulation of the additional synthesis of the enzyme protein rather than to the saturation of the free apoenzyme with newly-formed TDP. In vivo and in vitro studies suggest that the hyaloplasmic fraction of the liver of B1-deficient rats contains no free apoenzyme of transketolase.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007700	Kinetics	The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
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
D004789	Enzyme Activation	Conversion of an inactive form of an enzyme to one possessing metabolic activity. It includes 1, activation by ions (activators); 2, activation by cofactors (coenzymes); and 3, conversion of an enzyme precursor (proenzyme or zymogen) to an active enzyme.	Activation, Enzyme,Activations, Enzyme,Enzyme Activations
D004790	Enzyme Induction	An increase in the rate of synthesis of an enzyme due to the presence of an inducer which acts to derepress the gene responsible for enzyme synthesis.	Induction, Enzyme
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.

D013831	Thiamine	3-((4-Amino-2-methyl-5-pyrimidinyl)methyl)-5-(2- hydroxyethyl)-4-methylthiazolium chloride.	Aneurin,Vitamin B 1,Thiamin,Thiamine Mononitrate,Vitamin B1,Mononitrate, Thiamine
D013832	Thiamine Deficiency	A nutritional condition produced by a deficiency of THIAMINE in the diet, characterized by anorexia, irritability, and weight loss. Later, patients experience weakness, peripheral neuropathy, headache, and tachycardia. In addition to being caused by a poor diet, thiamine deficiency in the United States most commonly occurs as a result of alcoholism, since ethanol interferes with thiamine absorption. In countries relying on polished rice as a dietary staple, BERIBERI prevalence is very high.
