[Insulin and in vitro protein synthesis of isolated liver ribosomes in experimental acute uraemia (author's transl)]. 1980

P Pils, and W Jettmar, and D Adamiker, and K H Tragl

Liver protein synthesis was shown to be enhanced in acute experimental uraemia, when intracellular amino acids were used as substrate. Since protein synthesis also depends on substrate availability and amino acid concentration is higher in uraemic liver cells, it was of interest to investigate the in vitro protein synthesis capacity of isolated liver ribosomes in the presence of standardized amino acids with and without in vivo insulin stimulation. It was demonstrated that protein synthesis capacity of isolated liver ribosomes remains unaltered in acute uraemia and can be stimulated by in vivo insulin application. Our data suggest that in acute uraemia, intracellular substrate availability plays the essential role in impaired liver protein synthesis.

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).

D014511 Uremia A clinical syndrome associated with the retention of renal waste products or uremic toxins in the blood. It is usually the result of RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. Most uremic toxins are end products of protein or nitrogen CATABOLISM, such as UREA or CREATININE. Severe uremia can lead to multiple organ dysfunctions with a constellation of symptoms. Uremias
