Using the weak hepatocarcinogen thioacetamide, we found a 73% decrease in microsomal CTP: Phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (CT) activity after two months of treatment. We investigated the effect of different effectors on this enzyme activity. Results show that incubation of liver homogenates of treated animals in the presence of either oleate or spermine restored control values of microsomal activity. Incubation of thioacetamide homogenates in the presence of cAMP showed no changes in CT activity, while incubation of control and thioacetamide homogenates in the presence of Ca2+ induced an activation in microsomal activity, although of less intensity in thioacetamide homogenates than in control preparations. Results suggest that thioacetamide alters the regulation of cytidylyltransferase activity.

D009249 NADP Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate. A coenzyme composed of ribosylnicotinamide 5'-phosphate (NMN) coupled by pyrophosphate linkage to the 5'-phosphate adenosine 2',5'-bisphosphate. It serves as an electron carrier in a number of reactions, being alternately oxidized (NADP+) and reduced (NADPH).

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D000242 Cyclic AMP An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.

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.

D013096 Spermine A biogenic polyamine formed from spermidine. It is found in a wide variety of organisms and tissues and is an essential growth factor in some bacteria. It is found as a polycation at all pH values. Spermine is associated with nucleic acids, particularly in viruses, and is thought to stabilize the helical structure.
