| Abstract | Amino acid deprivation and glucagon are both potent inducers of autography and proteolysis in liver. Because glucagon enhanced the metabolic utilization of some amino acids, the catabolic response to both of these stimuli could be achieved by a lowering of intracellular amino acid pools. Alternatively, glucagon could act independently of amino acids. To clarify the mode of hormonal action and also the relationship between the two cellular responses, livers from fed rats were perfused, with and without glucagon, with plasma amino acids over a concentration range of 0 to 10 times normal. Individual amino acids constancy at each level was ensured by perfusion in the single-pass mode. Amino acids alone strongly regulated autophagy and proteolysis in a coordinated fashion; maximal suppression was achieved at twice normal concentration; both effects increased rapidly to maximum at less than normal concentration. Corresponding effects of glucagon, however, could be elicited only at intermediate amino acid levels. None was noted at 4 and 10 times normal; at 0, hormonal stimulation was minimal. The amino acid inhibition was selective because it did not block cyclic AMP production or glycogenolysis. Intracellular pool measurements and systematic alteration of perfusate amino acid composition indicated that the autophagic and proteolytic effects of glucagon are mediated by a hormonally induced depletion of glycine, alanine, glutamate, and glutamine; of these, glutamine alone is the most effective. We conclude that the stimulation of intracellular protein degradation in liver is a manifestation of deprivation-induced autophagy which results from a decrease in certain intracellular glucogenic amino acids, notably glutamine. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
