Summary
Number and affinity constant of low affinity binding sites of insulin and glucagon to isolated hepatocytes decreased when the cells were incubated with Escherichia coli 0111:B4 lipopolysaccharide. This effect agrees with a non-specific binding of lipopolysaccharide to hepatocytes, similar to the well-recognized non-specific binding of albumin. Also, binding of different lectins to their glycoprotein receptors did not affect the [14C]lipopolysaccharide interaction with the cell membrane surface. Endotoxin depresses gluconeogenesis from lactate when the precursor was incubated with the cells for short time intervals. The longer the preincubation interval with lipopolysaccharide, the higher the inhibition of gluconeogenesis in the absence and in the presence of glucagon.
The effect of endotoxin was also studied on the glucagon-induced synthesis of cyclic AMP and the glucagon binding. Levels of cyclic AMP and hormone binding decreased with increasing both endotoxin concentrations and preincubation intervals at which cells were in contact with endotoxin.
