| Popis: | When rats were subjected to the stress of burns, tumors, or partial hepatectomy, a notable new peak of glucocorticoid binding protein appeared on DEAE-cellulose chromatography. This peak accompanied the original peak, which was the only dominant peak in intact rats. The appearance of the new binding protein was concomitant with a high rise in serum corticosterone levels. The new peak was eluted with 0.12-0.14 M NaCl and another, small new peak with 0.02-0.03 M NaCl, while the original peak of intact rats was eluted with 0.05-0.08 M NaCl. In rats adrenalectomized prior to the stress, the new peaks did not appear. To mimic these stressful conditions which provoked a burst of endogenous glucocorticoid, rats were administered with an exogenous high dose of dexamethasone (100 micrograms/100 g B.W.) in vivo. The new peak eluted with 0.12-0.14 M NaCl was again observed and was more dominant in the hormone-treated rats than the stressed rats. These three peaks eluted with 0.02-0.03 M, 0.05-0.08 M, and 0.12-0.14 M NaCl are called here Peak A, B, and C, respectively. This is the first demonstration of the effect of physiological changes in serum levels of glucocorticoid hormone on the nature of glucocorticoid binding protein by DEAE-cellulose chromatography. |
