[Formation of 7-dehydrocholesterol ketoderivative - cholesta-4,7-dien-3-one in stomach and intestinal rat tissues]. 1979

I A Nikolenko, and R P Morozova, and V P Vendt

Incorporation of [2-14C] sodium acetate into 7-dehydrocholesterol ketoderivative, cholesta-4,7-dien-3-on, was studied in the tissues of the rat stomach secretory and esophageal parts and in the mucous and serous membranes of the small intestine. Cholesta-4,7-dien-3-on is shown to form not from [14C]cholesterol but from [14C] dehydrocholesterol. Incorporation of the label into the compound under study is established to be maximum 6h after isotope administration. The formation of cholesta-4,7-dien-3-on is the most active in the mucous membrane of small intestine and secretory part of the stomach. An assumption is advanced on the relation between the oxidative transformation of 7-dehydrocholesterol and secretion of hydrochloric acid by the animal mucous tissue.

D007421	Intestine, Small	The portion of the GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT between the PYLORUS of the STOMACH and the ILEOCECAL VALVE of the LARGE INTESTINE. It is divisible into three portions: the DUODENUM, the JEJUNUM, and the ILEUM.	Small Intestine,Intestines, Small,Small Intestines
D008297	Male		Males
D010084	Oxidation-Reduction	A chemical reaction in which an electron is transferred from one molecule to another. The electron-donating molecule is the reducing agent or reductant; the electron-accepting molecule is the oxidizing agent or oxidant. Reducing and oxidizing agents function as conjugate reductant-oxidant pairs or redox pairs (Lehninger, Principles of Biochemistry, 1982, p471).	Redox,Oxidation Reduction
D002775	Cholestadienols	Cholestadiene derivatives containing a hydroxy group anywhere in the molecule.
D002782	Cholestenes	Steroids with methyl groups at C-10 and C-13 and a branched 8-carbon chain at C-17. Members include compounds with any degree of unsaturation; however, CHOLESTADIENES is available for derivatives containing two double bonds.
D002783	Cholestenones	CHOLESTENES with one or more double bonds and substituted by any number of keto groups.
D002784	Cholesterol	The principal sterol of all higher animals, distributed in body tissues, especially the brain and spinal cord, and in animal fats and oils.	Epicholesterol
D003684	Dehydrocholesterols	Cholesterol derivatives having an additional double bond in any position. The prevalent isomer 7-dehydrocholesterol is a precursor of cholesterol and of vitamin D3.	(Z)-3 beta-Hydroxycholesta-5,27(20)-diene
D004947	Esophagus	The muscular membranous segment between the PHARYNX and the STOMACH in the UPPER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT.
