Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We examine here the delivery of gangliosides from the perfused rat liver into the perfusate. One hour after the administration of [3H]GM1 to recirculating perfused livers, almost 80% of the perfusate radioactive gangliosides were recovered associated to the HDL fraction. This fraction was relatively enriched in radioactive GD1a. The pattern of endogenous gangliosides from perfused livers, rat serum and perfusates were very different: GM3 was the main liver ganglioside, GM1 and GD1a were the most abundant in perfusates being GM3 almost absent; GM3, GM1 and GD1a were present in rat serum in similar proportions. Using a non-recirculating perfusion protocol, radioactive gangliosides were found in the HDL fraction since 15 minutes after the administration of [3H]GM1. These results suggest that rat liver supplies the perfusates with some gangliosides and that they are associated to HDL. These facts arise the possibility that the liver is one of the source of serum gangliosides.
