Phenylalanine, added to the mixture, stimulated the biosynthesis of ubiquinone and ubichromenol in the liver tissue preparations. alpha-Tocopherol caused an increase in biosynthesis of ubiquinone and a decrease in the rate of ubichromenol biosynthesis within 1 hr and 3 hrs of incubation in vitro. The combined addition of phenylalanine and alpha-tocopherol, almost without exceptions, increased the effect of alpha-tocopherol on biosynthesis of the substances studied. Interrelationship is discussed between vitamin E and ubiquinone and ubichromenol biosynthesis. | Download PDF:  | Reference: Donchenko G.V., Chernukhina L.A., Zolotashko O.M., Teplitskaia L.Yu., In vitro metabolism of ubiquinone and ubichromenol in the livers of rats with avitaminosis E during individual and combined addition of alpha-tocopherol and phenylalanine, Voprosy meditsinskoi khimii, 1976, vol: 22(5), 691-696. |
