Chronic (5- and 10-day) administration of isoproterenol, an agent that induces the proliferation of salivary gland cells, produced increases in microsomal 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphate acyltransferase and 1-acyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine acyltransferase activity in rat parotid glands in parallel with gland enlargement. This increased activity was reduced when the treatment was stopped, the reduction corresponding to the reduction in gland weight. There were significant correlations between lysophospholipid acyltransferase activity and gland weight, and between the activities of the two types of lysophospholipid acyltransferase. However, isoproterenol treatment did not affect any of the steps of the subsequent phospholipid N-methylation. These results suggest that the cell proliferation induced by chronic administration of isoproterenol in the parotid gland is accompanied by reversible and selective increases in microsomal lysophospholipid acyltransferases.

D008745 Methylation Addition of methyl groups. In histo-chemistry methylation is used to esterify carboxyl groups and remove sulfate groups by treating tissue sections with hot methanol in the presence of hydrochloric acid. (From Stedman, 25th ed) Methylations
D008861 Microsomes Artifactual vesicles formed from the endoplasmic reticulum when cells are disrupted. They are isolated by differential centrifugation and are composed of three structural features: rough vesicles, smooth vesicles, and ribosomes. Numerous enzyme activities are associated with the microsomal fraction.
