Stimulation Of

Incubation of hepatocytes from 24 h-starved rats in the presence of 0.5 mM-adenosine decreased gluconeogenesis from lactate, but not from alanine. The inhibition of gluconeogenesis was associated with a stimulation of ketone-body production and an inhibition of pyruvate oxidation. These metabolic changes were suppressed in the presence of iodotubercidin (an inhibitor of adenosine kinase), but were reinforced in the presence of deoxycoformycin (an inhibitor of adenosine deaminase); 2-chloroadenosine induced no change in gluconeogenesis from lactate. These data indicate that the inhibition of gluconeogenesis by adenosine probably results from its conversion into adenine nucleotides. In the presence of lactate or pyruvate, but not with alanine or asparagine, this conversion resulted in a decrease in the [ATP]/[ADP] ratio in both mitochondrial and cytosolic compartments. Adenosine decreased the Pi concentration with all gluconeogenic substrates.

Adenosine and inosine produced a dose-dependent stimulation of ureagenesis in isolated rat hepatocytes. Hypoxanthine, xanthine and uric acid were without effect. Half-maximally effective concentrations were 0.08 microM for adenosine and 5 microM for inosine. Activation of ureagenesis by both nucleosides had the following characteristics: (a) it was observed with either glutamine or (NH4)2CO3, provided that glucose was present; (b) it was not detected when glucose was replaced by lactate plus oleate; (c) it was mutually antagonized by glucagon, but not by adrenaline; and (d) it was dependent on Ca2+. We suggest that the action of adenosine and inosine on ureagenesis might be of physiological significance.

The newly isolated peptide PHI provoked a dose-dependent stimulation of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis in isolated rat hepatocytes; at 1 microM-PHI, both processes were increased 1.6-fold as compared with basal values. These PHI-mediated effects were accompanied by the activation of glycogen phosphorylase and the inactivation of pyruvate kinase. PHI (1 microM) also caused a 2-fold increase in hepatocyte cyclic AMP.

Stimulation Of

The incorporation of [3H]leucine into soluble cellular protein was measured in isolated hepatocytes at extracellular leucine concentrations ranging from 0.15 to 20.0 mM. Insulin caused a 12—15% stimulation of [3H]leucine incorporation in the presence of high extracellular leucine concentrations. It is concluded that insulin causes a small but significant increase in the rate of hepatic protein synthesis.
