Mixed-function oxidation of p-nitroanisole in isolated perfused livers from fasted rats was studied in the presence and absence of 2-bromooctanoate, an inhibitor of the beta-oxidation of acyl CoA compounds. These experiments were designed to test the hypothesis that reducing equivalents

We applied metabolic control analysis to the Kennedy pathway for triacylglycerol formation in tissue cultures from the important oil crops, olive (Olea europaea L.) and oil palm (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.). When microsomal fractions were incubated at 30 degrees C rather

1. The induction of peroxisomal beta-oxidation activities by bezafibrate in cultured rat hepatocytes and in the rat in vivo was prevented by inhibitors of carnitine acyltransferase, e.g. 2-bromopalmitate, 2-[5-(4-chlorophenyl)pentyl]oxirane-2-carboxylate or 2-tetradecylglycidic acid. 2. The prevention of peroxisomal proliferation by carnitine

The effects of sodium butyrate and sodium bromo-octanoate (an inhibitor of beta oxidation) on colonic mucus glycoprotein (mucin) synthesis have been assessed using tissue from colonic resection samples. Epithelial biopsy specimens were incubated for 16 hours in RPMI 1640 with

I examined whether the phorbol ester-mediated inhibition of glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GPDH) induction could be mimicked by raising the cellular diacylglycerol levels. Phorbol ester tumor promoters and diacylglycerols activate protein kinase C. An increase in radiolabeled diacylglycerol levels in C6
