Decrease by glucagon in peroxide generation by isolated hepatocytes.

E A Siess, O H Wieland

    FEBS Letters
    |November 5, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    Glucagon and cyclic AMP reduce cellular peroxide generation in rat liver cells. This was shown by decreased [14C]formate oxidation and lower catalase Compound I levels, indicating reduced oxidative stress.

    Area of Science:

    • Biochemistry
    • Cell Biology
    • Hepatology

    Background:

    • Cellular metabolism generates reactive oxygen species, including peroxides.
    • Oxidative stress impacts liver cell function and viability.
    • Hormonal regulation of cellular processes is crucial in liver physiology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the effect of glucagon and cyclic AMP on peroxide generation in isolated rat liver cells.
    • To elucidate the mechanisms underlying glucagon- and cyclic AMP-mediated changes in oxidative metabolism.

    Main Methods:

    • Isolated rat liver cells were treated with glucagon or dibutyryl cyclic AMP.
    • Cellular peroxide generation was assessed by measuring the oxidation rate of [14C]formate.
    • Steady-state concentrations of catalase Compound I were determined.

    Main Results:

    • Exposure to glucagon or dibutyryl cyclic AMP resulted in a significant decrease in cellular peroxide generation.
    • The rate of [14C]formate oxidation was reduced in treated cells.
    • Steady-state concentrations of catalase Compound I were lowered, indicating reduced H2O2 levels.

    Conclusions:

    • Glucagon and cyclic AMP effectively suppress cellular peroxide generation in rat liver cells.
    • These hormones modulate oxidative metabolism, potentially through mechanisms involving catalase activity.
    • The findings suggest a role for glucagon and cyclic AMP in mitigating oxidative stress within hepatocytes.
