We examined the effects of infusion of alanine on hepatic concentration of glycero-3-phosphate (glycero-3-P) and output of triacylglycerol (TG) by isolated perfused livers from triiodothyronine (T3)-treated rats. It was expected that because of its gluconeogenic and antiketogenic properties, alanine
The effects of hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism on brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis and phospholipid fatty acid composition were investigated in rats. Chronic triiodothyronine (T3) treatment (hyperthyroidism) increased the interscapular BAT pad weight, its triacylglycerol content, and its
1. Liver from hyper- and hypo-thyroid male fed rats were perfused with whole blood and their metabolism was compared with euthyroid controls. 2. Hyperthyroid livers produced more bile than controls and hypothyroid livers produced less. 3. Glucose output by all livers was similar; glycogen declined
The effects of the feeding of high-iodine eggs to rats with an abnormal thyroid status were investigated. Rats were fed for one week on a commercial diet supplemented with propylthiouracil (PTU) (10 mg/100 g diet) or thyroxine-Na (240 micrograms/100 g diet) respectively, to induce hypo- or
Activities of phosphatidate phosphohydrolase and palmitoyl-CoA hydrolase were determined in cardiac subcellular fractions prepared from rabbits which has received tri-iodothyronine and from hamsters with hereditary cardiomyopathy (strain BIO 14.6). 1. Both mitochondrial and microsomal fractions of
Various studies on the effects of thyroid status on hepatic fatty acid synthesis have produced conflicting results. Several variables (e.g., plasma free fatty acid and glucose concentrations) are altered simultaneously by thyroid status and can affect fatty acid synthesis. To evaluate the effects of
Triiodothyronine (T(3)) can influence lipid metabolism via multiple mechanisms, which generally result in an increase of fatty acids (FAs) oxidation. Consequently, we hypothesize that hyperthyroidism may influence intramuscular lipids accumulation. This increased intramuscular lipid turn-over is
The influence of experimentally induced hyperthyroidism on the lipid composition of the caput and cauda epididymides has been studied in pubertal and adult rats. Thyroxine treatment did not alter the major lipid classes in the epididymis. However, regional and age-related fluctuations in the
The aim of this study was to establish whether the rate of fatty acid (FA) incorporation and its utilization by the isolated soleus muscle is modified under conditions of thyroid hormone deficit or excess. The rate of palmitic acid (PA) uptake, oxidation and incorporation into intramuscular lipids
We studied whether short-term administration of triiodothyronine (T3) for the last 3 days of endurance training would influence the rate of uptake of palmitic acid (PA) as well as metabolism in rat soleus muscle, in vitro. Training per se did not affect the rate of PA uptake by the soleus; however,
Regulation of the hepatic level of fatty-acid-binding protein (FABP) by hormones and p-chlorophenoxyisobutyric acid (clofibric acid) was studied. The hepatic level of FABP, measured as the oleic acid-binding capacity of the cytosolic FABP fraction, was decreased in streptozotocin-diabetic rats. The
The presence of NaCl-resistant, neutral triacylglycerol hydrolase (lipase) activity in rat adrenal gland, ovary and testis was studied. Both adrenals and ovaries but not testes were found to contain such a lipase. The activity of the enzyme in the adrenal gland was lowered during cortisol treatment
The effect of hormone administration on the activity of lipoprotein lipase in the lung was studied in the rat. The following hormones were administered: dexamethasone, L-thyroxine, estradiol-17beta and progesterone. In addition, lung lipoprotein lipase activity was studied in diabetic and lactating
The effects of altered serum 3,3',5-triiodothyronine levels on rat lipoprotein metabolism were examined. Daily injections of the hormone (50 micrograms/100 g body mass) over a period of six days led to an increase of 6.4-fold in the hepatic mRNA level for apolipoprotein(apo)A-I, and a 21% increase
Male rats were treated with triiodothyronine in the drinking water for 12 days. In vitro rates of isoprenaline stimulated lipolysis were significantly greater in brown but not white adipose tissue. Rates of [14C]glucose incorporation into triacylglycerols were significantly reduced in BAT (brown
