La paradoja del mastocito y la heparina
Lancet (London, England)
|February 19, 1977
Resumen
La heparina comercial, un anticoagulante rápido, difiere de los gránulos de mastocitos liberados naturalmente. Los mastocitos liberan gránulos que contienen heparina y otras sustancias, mientras que la heparina comercial es almacenada por diferentes células, lo que sugiere funciones biológicas distintas.
Área de la Ciencia:
- La bioquímica es la bioquímica.
- Biología celular Biología celular.
- Farmacología Farmacología.
Sus antecedentes:
- La heparina purificada de los mastocitos es un anticoagulante rápido estándar.
- La administración comercial de heparina puede no imitar la desgranulación natural de los mastocitos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Para investigar la discrepancia entre la heparina comercial y los gránulos de mastocitos liberados naturalmente.
- Para dilucidar los mecanismos celulares de captación y almacenamiento de la heparina.
Principales métodos:
- Análisis comparativo de la composición de gránulos de mastocitos.
- Investigación de las vías de captación celular para la heparina comercial.
- Revisión de las perspectivas históricas sobre la función de los mastocitos.
Principales resultados:
- Los gránulos de mastocitos contienen heparina junto con condroitinas, heparitinas, histamina y enzimas.
- La heparina comercial es absorbida y almacenada principalmente por el sistema reticuloendotelial.
- Los gránulos liberados naturalmente son ingeridos y digeridos por los fagocitos del tejido conectivo.
Conclusiones:
- La farmacocinética de la heparina comercial difiere de la liberación endógena de heparina.
- Los mastocitos juegan un papel más amplio en el tejido conectivo más allá del simple almacenamiento de heparina.
- La función de los mastocitos es diversa y dependiente del contexto.

Liver Regeneration
The liver is an important organ in vertebrates that plays an essential role in metabolism. It is also responsible for storing and redistributing nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, and vitamins in the body. Additionally, the liver releases bile salts which are critical for digesting food and eliminating toxic metabolites from the body.
Cells of Liver
The liver comprises four major types of cells— hepatocytes, stellate, Kupffer, and sinusoidal endothelial cells. The hepatocytes are large...

Gross Anatomy of the Liver
The liver, the largest gland within the human body, is a firm and reddish-brown organ. This wedge-shaped structure weighs approximately 1.5 kg and occupies a significant portion of the right hypochondriac and epigastric regions. It extends more to the right of the body's midline than to the left.
Located under the diaphragm, the liver is almost entirely ensconced within the rib cage, providing it with substantial protection. Except for the superior most bare area, the liver's surface is covered...

Liver Histology
The microscopic anatomy of the liver is a complex and intricate system that comprises numerous structural units known as liver lobules, each of which is comparable in size to a sesame seed. These hexagonal structures consist of plates of liver cells or hepatocytes, which are characterized by their versatility and abundance of cellular apparatus like rough and smooth ER, Golgi apparatus, peroxisomes, and mitochondria.

Liver Physiology
The liver, an essential organ in the human body, performs over 200 vital functions that can be broadly categorized into metabolic, hematological, endocrine regulation, and bile production.
Metabolic Regulation:
The liver is the central organ involved in regulating blood composition. It stabilizes blood glucose levels, maintaining them within the range of 70–110 mg/dL. When these levels drop, the liver breaks down glycogen reserves and releases glucose into the bloodstream. It can also...
