Abstract/OtherAbstract:
The effect of Ca2+-mobilizing hormones, vasopressin, angiotensin II and the alpha-adrenergic agonist phenylephrine, on the metabolic flux through the tricarboxylic acid cycle was investigated in isolated perfused rat livers. All three Ca2+-mobilizing agonists stimulated 14CO2 production and gluconeogenesis in livers of 24-h-fasted rats perfused with [2-14C]pyruvate. Prazosin blocked the phenylephrine-elicited stimulation of 14CO2 and glucose production from [2-14C]pyruvate whereas the alpha 2-adrenergic agonist, BHT-933, did not affect the rates of 14CO2 and glucose production from [2-14C]pyruvate indicating that the phenylephrine-mediated response involved alpha 1-adrenergic receptors. Phenylephrine, vasopressin and angiotensin II stimulated 14CO2 production from [2-14C]acetate in livers derived from fed rats but not in livers of 24-h-fasted rats. In livers of 24-h-fasted rats, perfused with [2-14C]acetate, exogenously added pyruvate was required for an increase in the rate of 14CO2 production during phenylephrine infusion. This last observation suggests increased pyruvate carboxylation as one of the mechanisms involved in stimulation of tricarboxylic acid cycle activity by the Ca2+-mobilizing agonists, vasopressin, angiotensin II and phenylephrine.
