[Effect of retinol deficiency on the activity of phospholipase A lysosomal enzymes in rat testes]. 1977

L R Chaudkhari, and I Ia Kon', and A A Pokrovskiĭ

In the testes homogenates of rats kept on a A-deficient ration and receiving additionally retinyl-acetate (control) and retinoic acid (experiment) the activity of the phospholipases A1 and A2, with 1-acyl-2(1-14C)-oleoyl-SN-glycero-3-galactosidase and acid phosphatase employed as a substrate, was investigated. In the testes of rats receiving retinyl-acetate the activity of the phospholipases A1 and A2 was greatly declining. An addition of retinyl to the testes homogenates of test rats contributed to re-establishing the activity of the phospholipases up to the control level. In the testes of rats receiving retinoic acid a reduced activity of the acid phosphatase and a rise of beta-galactosidase, as compared to their activity in controls was also demonstrable.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008247 Lysosomes A class of morphologically heterogeneous cytoplasmic particles in animal and plant tissues characterized by their content of hydrolytic enzymes and the structure-linked latency of these enzymes. The intracellular functions of lysosomes depend on their lytic potential. The single unit membrane of the lysosome acts as a barrier between the enzymes enclosed in the lysosome and the external substrate. The activity of the enzymes contained in lysosomes is limited or nil unless the vesicle in which they are enclosed is ruptured or undergoes MEMBRANE FUSION. (From Rieger et al., Glossary of Genetics: Classical and Molecular, 5th ed). Autolysosome,Autolysosomes,Lysosome
