[Metabolism of nuclear neutral lipids and rat thymocyte chromatin under normal conditions and after gamma-irradiation]. 1993

T P Kulagina, and S A Shuruta, and I K Kolomiĭtseva

The levels and specific radioactivities of cholesterol and free fatty acids in nuclei and chromatin of thymocytes from normal and gamma-irradiated (10 Gy) rats have been studied. The radioactivity of the total lipid fraction of gamma-irradiated cells was decreased significantly in the absence of inhibition of [2-14C]acetate incorporation into the total protein and lipid reactions and the [3H]uracil incorporation into the acid-insoluble RNA. The concentration of free fatty acids in the nuclei increased significantly after irradiation. The specific radioactivity of cholesterol in chromatin was higher than in the nuclei. The differences in specific radioactivities of free fatty acids were less pronounced. After irradiation the ratio of specific radioactivities of free fatty acids in chromatin to that in the nuclei showed a tendency to increase.

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.

D013950 Thymus Gland A single, unpaired primary lymphoid organ situated in the MEDIASTINUM, extending superiorly into the neck to the lower edge of the THYROID GLAND and inferiorly to the fourth costal cartilage. It is necessary for normal development of immunologic function early in life. By puberty, it begins to involute and much of the tissue is replaced by fat.
