Effects of ACTH and diabetes on phospholipid metabolism in adrenal mitochondria

Effects of ACTH and diabetes on phospholipid metabolism in adrenal mitochondria

A F De Nicola et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Incorporation of 32P into adrenal mitochondrial phospholipids (PL) incrased in ACTH-treated rats, but it decreased in diabetics, inspite of the fact that these animals showed adrenal overacity. Since diabetics did not show increased 11 beta-hydroxylation. as opposed to ACTH-treated rats, it is suggested that the stimulation of this enzyme activity by exogenous ACTH is related to an increased turnover of PL at the mitochondrial membrane. The process is impaired in diabetics and prevents the stimulation of 11 beta-hydroxylation.
