Abstract
The respective effects of cholera and Bordetella pertussis toxins were studied in time and concentration dependent experiments, following glycerol and fatty acid release, GTP and cAMP levels. Cholera toxin, after a lag time of 30 min, stimulated linearly GTP and cAMP accumulation and lipolysis (maximal effect: 2‐fold increase at 5). Pertussis toxin presented a biphasic effect both in time and concentration dependent studies. Up to a maximum reached after 2 h with 1.4 units the stimulation affected GTP (3 fold) and cAMP (7 fold) levels, glycerol and fatty acid release (15 fold). Beyond this, an inhibition occurred, yielding a decrease towards basal values of GTP and cAMP content whereas the glycerol and fatty acid release was stopped. These results, which are the first reporting the fluctuation of the GTP content of intact cells challenged with bacterial toxins, show a close relationship between GTP and cyclic AMP levels and lipolytic activity.Keywords
