Vasopressin, angiotensin II, glucagon and epinephrine (through a cAMP-independent, alpha1adrenergic mechanism), stimulate ureogenesis in isolated rat hepatocytes. Mitochondria, isolated from hepatocytes which were previously treated with these hormones, displayed an enhanced rate of citrulline synthesis in the presence of NH4Cl as the nitrogen source. When mitochondria were incubated with glutamine as the nitrogen source, only those mitochondria isolated from hepatocytes previously treated with epinephrine or glucagon displayed an enhanced capacity to synthesize citrulline. When cells were incubated in the absence of extracellular calcium, the effects of vasopressin and angiotensin II on urea synthesis were abolished, whereas those of epinephrine and glucagon were only diminished. Mitochondria isolated from cells incubated under these conditions, showed that the effect of all these hormones on citrulline synthesis could still be observed. However, the effects of glucagon and epinephrine plus propranolol were larger than those of angiotensin II or vasopressin. Phosphatidylinositol labeling was significantly increased by epinephrine, vasopressin and angiotensin II both in the absence or presence of calcium. Cyclic AMP levels were significantly increased by glucagon or epinephrine but not by vasopressin or angiotensin II. The effect of epinephrine on cyclic AMP levels was blocked by propranolol both in the absence or presence of calcium.
