Effect of growth hormone on rat liver N-acetyl-L-glutamate.

Abstract:

:Earlier studies have revealed, upon hypophysectomy, a specific increase in mitochondrial urea cycle enzymes, namely carbamyl phosphate synthetase and ornithine transcarbamylase. Administration of growth hormone to hypophysectomized rats brought these enzyme activities back to normal. Since growth hormone plays a role in the formation of citrulline and ultimately urea, in the present study its effect on the levels of N-acetyl-L-glutamate, an allosteric activator of carbamyl phosphate synthetase has been investigated. A significant increase in N-acetyl-L-glutamate concentration in rat liver on hypophysectomy and its reversal back to normal levels on growth hormone administration was reported. These results suggest that the lack of growth hormone tends to amplify urea production by the liver.
