Resorcinolic Lipids

Abstract Two homologues of cereal grain resorcinolic lipids, 5-n-heptadecylresorcinol and 5-n-hepta-decenylresorcinol studied in the system employing yeast cell protoplasts showed marked fusiogenic activity. The frequency of hybrid formation induced by studied amphiphiles was significantly higher than that obtained with the use of 40% (w/v) polyethylene glycol 4000. The resorcinolic lipids as fusion-inducing agents did no affect regeneration of the cellular wall. The fusiogenic activity of resorcinolic lipids lost when calcium ions were absent in the medium. Fusiogenic activity of studied amphiphiles is related to their ability to induce non­ bilayer structures within the cellular membranes.

Parenchymal Cells

Several enzymes are involved in the regulation of anabolic and catabolic pathways of carbohydrate metabolism in liver parenchymal cells. The lobular distribution of glycogen synthase (GS), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) and glycogen phosphorylase (GP) was studied by immunocytochemistry using cryosections of normal fed and fasted rat liver. Since sections of tissue embedded in polyethylene glycol (PEG) show good morphological preservation and increased detectability for immunocytochemical localization of antigenic sites, and semithin sections of Visio-Bond (VB) embedded tissue provide higher resolution of cellular structure, we applied these techniques and immunogold-silver stain (IGSS) for a more accurate localization of hepatic carbohydrate metabolic enzymes.

New Methods

Lipid cytochemistry has not yet advanced far at the EM level. A major problem has been the loss of lipid during dehydration and embedding. Although the adoption of glutaraldehyde and osmium tetroxide accelerate the chemical reaction of lipid and osmium tetroxide can react on the double bouds of unsaturated lipid to from the osmium black, osmium tetroxide can be reduced in saturated lipid and subsequently some of unsaturated lipid are lost during dehydration. In order to reduce the loss of lipid by traditional method, some researchers adopted a few new methods, such as the change of embedding procedure and the adoption of new embedding media, to solve the problem. In a sense, these new methods are effective. They, however, usually require a long period of preparation. In this paper, we do research on the fiora nectary strucure of lauraceae by the rapid-embedding method wwith PEG under electron microscope and attempt to find a better method to solve the problem mentioned above.
