Psychiatry related information on Rats, Gunn

 

High impact information on Rats, Gunn

  • This method showed that light has a fast effect on bilirubin metabolism in homozygous Gunn rats, even at low doses and intensities [7].
  • A sustained decrease of plasma bilirubin concentrations occurred in homozygous recessive Gunn rats lacking the enzyme uridine diphosphate glucuronyltransferase following infusion into the portal vein of hepatocytes from heterozygous nonjaundiced Gunn rats possessing the enzyme [8].
  • Studies in adult Gunn rats demonstrated that Sn-protoporphyrin administration diminished biliary bilirubin output, decreased tissue heme oxygenase activity, and did not alter hepatic cytochrome P450 levels [9].
  • Tracer doses of purified radiolabeled biliverdin, bilirubin, bilirubin monoglucuronide (BMG) or diglucuronide (BDG) were administered intravenously to intact normal or jaundiced homozygous Gunn rats [10].
  • Isolated cryopreserved human liver cells, attached to collagen-coated microcarriers, were injected intraperitoneally into mutant rat recipients genetically deficient in either bilirubin uridine diphosphoglucuronosyltransferase activity (Gunn rats) or albumin synthesis (Nagase analbuminemic rats) [11].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Rats, Gunn

 

Biological context of Rats, Gunn

 

Anatomical context of Rats, Gunn

  • Results suggest that: (1) the bile from homozygous Gunn rats under phototherapy has an anti-absorptive effect when tested in the perfused jejunum of normal Wistar rats; (2) unconjugated bilirubin has a dose dependent secretory effect on the intestinal transport of water and electrolytes, when tested in the same system [21].
  • Use of this antibody preparation to probe Western blots of liver microsomes prepared from Gunn rats confirmed that the defective phenol glucuronidation was due to the absence of a 53-kDa, 3-methylcholanthrene-inducible UDPGT isoenzyme [22].
  • Transplantation of the fibroblasts corrected the genetic deficiency of the Gunn rats, serum bilirubin concentrations of the transplanted Gunn rats were reduced to normal, and bilirubin glucuronides appeared in bile [23].
  • The behavior of marker proteins of glial cells [alpha-enolase, beta-S100 protein, and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)] was investigated quantitatively by using enzyme immunoassay systems during the development of cerebellar hypoplasia in jaundiced Gunn rats [24].
  • In experiment 1 no serial changes were seen in activities of hexobarbital hydroxylase or benzo(a)pyrene hydroxylase in hepatic microsomes isolated after 2, 4 or 7 days from homozygous jaundiced female Gunn rats exposed to continuous phototherapy or in matched Gunn rats maintained under dim light [19].
 

Associations of Rats, Gunn with chemical compounds

  • We have developed double mutants (GT-TR-) rats with both a conjugation and an excretion defect by cross-breeding uridine 5'-diphosphate-glucuronyl-transferase-deficient GT-TR+ Gunn rats with transport-deficient GT+TR- rats [25].
  • The abnormally low rate of glucuronidation of p-nitrophenol in the Gunn rats, as compared with Wistar rats, is due to decreased affinity of UDP-glucuronyltransferase for UDP-glucuronic acid [26].
  • Calculated values of deltaG degrees for the binding of the UDP portion of UDP-glucuronic acid suggest that the defect of UDP-glucuronyltransferase of Gunn rats appears limited to abnormal interactions between the enzyme and the UDP portion of UDP-glucuronic acid [26].
  • Acetaminophen (500 mg per kg) was administered intraperitoneally to homozygous and heterozygous Gunn rats and to Wistar controls [27].
  • Jaundiced Gunn rats, treated with phenobarbital (60 mg per kg i.p. for 7 to 10 days) showed 25 and 36% decreases in mean plasma bilirubin levels in two experiments (p less than 0.01) [2].
 

Gene context of Rats, Gunn

  • CYP1A2 mRNA and protein levels were indistinguishable in 3-month-old jaundiced and nonjaundiced Gunn rats, whereas CYP1A1 could not be detected in either group [28].
  • Moreover, the mRNA level of MRP3, but not that of P-gp, was increased in SD rats after administration of bilirubin and in Gunn rats whose hepatic bilirubin concentration is elevated because of a defect in the expression of UDP-glucuronosyl transferase [29].
  • In treated Gunn rats, bilirubin glucuronides were present in bile and UGT1A1 protein was detected in tissue [30].
  • In addition, no significant change in the level of serum thyroid-stimulating hormone, the activity of hepatic sulfotransferase, and the binding of [125I]T4 to serum transthyretin and albumin by PB treatment was observed in either Wistar or Gunn rats [31].
  • Fasting in newborn Gunn rats caused an increase in serum bilirubin concentration and in liver bilirubin concentration and specific activity, and a significant stimulation of the heme catabolic enzyme, heme oxygenase, in liver [32].
