Abstract
Male and female juvenile as well as adult rats were treated with acetylsalicylic acid in order to examine the effect of the drug on over-all activity and activity distribution of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) in the liver acinus. Upon administration of acetylsalicylic acid PEPCK activity increased in juvenile males and adult females, but was reduced in juvenile females and adult males. The periportal-perivenous activity gradient along the sinusoidal length, which is flatter in untreated juvenile rats compared to the livers of adult rats, was distinctly steepened by acetylsalicylic acid treatment. Acetylsalicylic acid did not affect the gradient in adult rats.Entities:
