It is known that metallothionein (MT) synthesis occurs in the liver in various stressful situations such as immobilization and fasting. However, the mechanism of MT synthesis in stressful situations is not fully understood. In this study, we examined the involvement of leptin, the obese gene product, in MT synthesis induced by fasting stress. Despite an increase in hepatic MT levels induced by 24-hr...
Metallothionein (MT), a sulfhydryl-rich protein, may be increased by administration of a variety of agents, including metals, cytokines and oxidative stress agents. Mitochondria are a major source of reactive oxygen species, but antioxidant systems against mitochondrial free radicals are not fully understood. In this study, we examined the induction of MT synthesis by administration of mitochondrial-specific...
