Abstract
A radiochemical microtest was established for the determination of ATP citrate lyase in tissue samples of 0.2-1.0 .mu.g dry weight. The specificity of this test system was guaranteed by its CoA dependence as well as by inhibition of the activity measured in presence of a specific antibody. Using this test system ATP citrate lyase activity was determined in microdissected periportal and perivenous liver tissue of fed, fasted and refed animals. The perivenous activity was 1.8-fold and 2.4-fold higher than the periportal one in fed male and female rats, respectively. The perivenous to periportal gradient was decreased during starvation-dependent reduction of the ATP citrate lyase activity. On the other hand, it was not only restored but enhanced up to 2.8 after refeeding-dependent enhancement of the enzyme activity. The predominance of the ATP citrate lyase activity in the perivenous, mainly glycolytic zone supports the hypothesis of the coordinate zonation of the carbohydrate and the lipid metabolism in the liver parenchyma.This publication has 35 references indexed in Scilit:
