Abstract
In order to study the influence of the colloid osmotic pressure on albumin and total liver protein synthesis, rat hepatocytes were isolated by collagenase perfusion and incubated in Krebs-Ringer-buffer for 4 h. The colloid osmotic pressure produced by different bovine serum albumin (BSA) or dextran 60 concentrations varied from 3 to 80 mm Hg. A physiological colloid osmotic pressure of 20 mm Hg was obtained with 5.7 g BSA or 3.7 g dextran 60 per 100 ml of buffer. Albumin synthesis was measured by Laurell rocket immunoelectrophoresis. Total liver protein and total secretory protein synthesis were determined by the measurement of 1-14C-leucine incorporation. Albumin synthesis was not primarily regulated by the colloid osmotic pressure as was demonstrated by a lack of inhibition after addition of BSA. There was no significant influence of the oncotic pressure on the incorporation of14C-leucine into total liver proteins. The incorporation into total secretory proteins was inhibited by an increasing colloid osmotic pressure, mediated either by BSA or dextran, suggesting an inhibition of the secretion of plasma proteins other than albumin.Keywords
