Hearts are perfused in a Langendorff system with a glucose (11 mM) perfusion medium; [123I] hexadecenoic acid (IHA) is injected as a bolus. A comparison between time-activity curves p.i. demonstrates a much faster activity decrease for the hearts fasted animals. The intracellular analysis shows that short fasting did not significantly increase the myocardial uptake of fatty acids, but decreased the storage and increased the degradation of the fatty acids taken up. Mathematical analysis of the myocardial time-activity curves obtained by external detection provided results comparable to those of intracellular analysis. The coefficients of correlation between the values of the aqueous phases, organic phases and free fatty acids measured by intracellular analysis and calculated with the compartmental model are consistently higher than 0.97. Consequently, this experimental model combined with mathematical analysis of the time-course of myocardial radioactivity after 123IHA administration appears to be very promising method for studying the effects of drugs or variations of energy substrate availability on myocardial fatty-acid metabolism.</p>","PeriodicalId":8170,"journal":{"name":"Archives internationales de physiologie et de biochimie","volume":"98 5","pages":"269-81"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1990-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.3109/13813459009113987","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"12873562","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The cells were cultured (48 h) in presence of 1-0-octadecyl-2-0-methyl-3-phosphocholine (ET 18-0-CH3) 20 or 40 microM, which, on transformed cells, inhibits the cell growth, modifies the glycerolipid biosynthesis, and activates the sialyltransferases. ET 18-0-CH3 20 microM activated, in PRO and in REG cells the incorporation of [3H] hexadecanoate in monosialogangliosides (1.45 fold compared to controls), but not in disialogangliosides and the distribution of this fatty acid between monosialo- (82%) and disialogangliosides (18%) was unchanged with controls. After [14C] neuraminic acid labelings, and for control experiments, the total radioactivities in gangliosides, in PRO cells, were twice higher than in REG cells, a difference which, probably, reflects the ganglioside content. ET 18-0-CH3 20 microM did not increase the incorporation of the [14C] neuraminic acid in PRO and in REG cells, and did not change its distribution between monosialo (70-80% for controls and experiments with ET 18-0-CH3) and disialogangliosides (20-30%). Similar results were obtained with ET 18-0-CH3 40 microM for the distribution of [14C] neuraminic acid in monosialo- and disialogangliosides. Whatever the precursor, the trisialogangliosides were never radiolabeled. Analysis of the [3H] glycerolipids (the main radiolabeled lipid classes in controls were: phosphatidylcholines, triglycerides, sphingomyelins and phosphatidyl-inositols) revealed that ET 18-0-CH3, compared to controls, did not activate the incorporation of [3H] hexadecanoate in total glycerolipids (PRO or REG cells). It activated (3 fold) its incorporation in triglyerides, inhibited it (0.5-0.6 fold) in phosphatidylcholines, sphingomyelins and phosphatidyl-inoditols and all these most noticeable differences were observed in PRO and in REG cells.

Using everted or in situ ligatured loops, calcium transfer from a CaCl2 + 45Ca solution was measured in the duodenum, the jejunum and in the ileum. Alkaline phosphatase activity from these regions was also measured. For the three diets and for all regions of the intestine, there was a good correlation between calcium transfer and phosphatase activity. These values were higher in the duodenum than in the ileum or jejunum, and also higher in the ileum in the +D group than in the -D and S groups although this was not significant. These low levels in the S group which were, sometimes, even lower than those seen in the -D group contrasted with blood and bone levels of alkaline phosphatase, which were normal for the S and +D groups. There was also a discrepancy between the low values found for both phosphatase activity and calcium transfer in rats S in the experiments where the calcium transfer assay was carried out in calcium solution and those found in experiments were both calcium and carbohydrate were present. In the latter, enhanced levels of intestinal phosphatase activity were observed, as well as a marked, albeit delayed, increase in intestinal calcium transfer.

The increase in common carotid blood flow was the result of an immediate increase in internal carotid blood velocities observed in the altitude chamber as well as after the arrival at high altitude, but a few days later those velocities in the internal carotid artery declined to values similar to those observed at sea level. In the same time velocities in external carotid artery rose at high altitude, remained steadily elevated and the result is a permanent increase in common carotid blood flow at altitude.
