  • Title: Protecting action of aspartate on the hepatic changes induced by D-galactosamine.
    Author: Fodor O, Schvartz M, Suciu A, Barbarino F, Duca S, Lezeu R.
    Journal: Arzneimittelforschung; 1976; 26(5):855-8. PubMed ID: 183787.
    Abstract:
    The protective action of aspartic acid on isolated and perfused rat liver was studied. In case of D-galactosamine intoxication the GOT, GPT and SDH activity and the lactate and pyruvate concentration in the perfusion medium were less augmented and the glycogen level in hepatic tissue was less diminished in animals treated with aspartic acid, as compared to controls. The histochemical applied (PAS reaction for glycogen, nucleic acids, NADH2-diaphorase, glucose-6-phosphatase and membrane-ATP-ase), also stated a protecting effect in the treated animals. The protective action of aspartate is hypothetically considered to be exerted by its capacity to reestablish the cellular deficit of pyridine nucleotides and thus to improve the synthesis of nucleic acids, glycoprotein and glycolipids or/and by its participation in various metabolic pathways.
