   Abstract
 

To characterize the dynamic distribution and metabolism of endogenous glycerol in vivo, the exogenous glycerol labeled by radioactivity was mimicked to trace its kinetics in Chinese Haerbin white rabbits. Based on the kinetic alternations, the metabolic equation of 3H-glycerol was formulated. The determining coefficient (R2) was 0.9876 closed to predicted value (p < 0.05). The proposed equation fits well with the metabolic dynamics of exogenous 3H-glycerol within 30 h after injection. Moreover, according to the equation, the exogenous 3H-glycerol accumulates mainly in kidney, intestine and fat after 95 h injection. Also the dynamic concentration of 3H-glycerol in the examined kidney to intestine to fat and other tissues decreases gradually, indicating a underlying kinetic feature in Chinese Haerbin white rabbits. In addition, the applied exogenous cAMP and cGMP show a distinct impact on glycerol distribution.

 

Key words: 3H-Glycerol, Haerbin white rabbits, trace kinetics, cAMP, cGMP.
