Sodium metavanadate (10(-4)-10(-6) M) stimulates the activity of adenylate cyclase and decreases the activity of Na+, K+-ATRase and 5'-nucleotidase in the sarcolemma fraction of chicken skeletal muscles at the embryonal and postembryonal developmental stages. Under conditions of a combined action of vanadate and guanylic nucleotides on the adenylate cyclase activity their effects are found to be potentiated. Epinephrine in vitro removes an inhibitory influence of vanadate on Na+, K+-ATPase from the third week of twe embryonal period. The restoring effect of epinephrine is blocked by propranol--a beta-adrenoblocker.

PD 138142-15 is a substituted urea hypolipidemic and potential anti-atherosclerotic agent. To determine the toxicity of PD 138142-15, beagle dogs were given oral doses of 1, 10, 30, and 100 mg/kg daily for 13 weeks. Two animals at 100 mg/kg were euthanized during Week 5 due to poor condition. Clinical findings included decreased serum albumin at > or = 30 mg/kg, and increased ALP (up to 30-fold) and 5'-nucleotidase activities (up to 9-fold) at doses > or = 10 mg/kg. ALT and AST activities were elevated only at 100 mg/kg. There was a two- to threefold increase in cytochrome P450 content of hepatic microsomes from all treated animals and increases in liver weights at 10 mg/kg and above. Hepatic changes included hepatocellular hypertrophy and increased cytoplasmic eosinophilia at > or = 10 mg/kg; single cell necrosis of hepatocytes was noted in moribund animals. ACTH-stimulated cortisol levels were decreased at 30 and 100 mg/kg. Adrenal cholesterol esters were decreased at 10 mg/kg and above, while total adrenal cholesterol was decreased at > or = 30 mg/kg. These changes correlated with adrenal cortical zonal atrophy, principally of the zona fasciculata and zona reticularis, present at 30 and 100 mg/kg. Plasma concentrations of PD 131842-15 increased with increasing dose; plasma levels were significantly lower during Week 12 than those on Day 1, possibly due to autoinduction. Overt hepatotoxicity occurred at 100 mg/kg, whereas hepatic changes at 10 and 30 mg/kg were consistent with cytochrome P450 induction. The hepatic lesions were reversible within 4 weeks, while adrenal lesions were still evident after 4 weeks without treatment.
