Glycerophosphate acetyltransferase activity in perfused liver of normal and hyperlipemic rats: glucagon effect. 1981

P Tessari, and A Meneghel, and A Avogaro, and E Duner, and S Del Prato, and M Tuzzato, and A Tiengo

Mitochondrial glycerophosphate-acetyltransferase activity (GPAT) was determined in the isolated and perfused liver of diet-induced hyperlipemic rats, and was found to be significantly increased compared to normal rats, A positive correlation existed between hepatic triglyceride output and GPAT. Perfusion of 10(-5) M glucagon induced a significant reduction in GPAT levels. It is suggested that the lipid-lowering action of glucagon may be mediated also through an inhibition of GPAT activity.

D006949 Hyperlipidemias Conditions with excess LIPIDS in the blood. Hyperlipemia,Hyperlipidemia,Lipemia,Lipidemia,Hyperlipemias,Lipemias,Lipidemias
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).

D005934 Glucagon A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.
