- W2134280396 abstract "3,4-Dihydroxyphenylalanine decarboxylase (DDC; also known as l-amino acid decarboxylase) is involved in the synthesis of dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin, and also acts as an androgen receptor co-regulator protein. In contrast to other amino acid decarboxylases that are modulated by sex hormones, little is known about the influence of these hormones on DDC regulation. In the present work, we studied the influence of gender in the expression of DDC in different mouse tissues. Among the different organs studied, including brain, liver, kidney, intestine, heart, adrenal gland, and skeletal muscle, only kidney and small intestine showed a sex-dependent dimorphism in DDC expression. In the kidney, levels of DDC activity, DDC mRNA, and protein were remarkably higher in females than in males. On the contrary, in the small intestine, male mice displayed higher levels of DDC activity than females but they did not correlate precisely with mRNA levels. This dimorphism was dependent on androgens, since male castration and treatment of female mice with testosterone propionate, oppositely affected DDC levels in kidney and small intestine. However, estrogen ablation or treatment with estradiol did not significantly affect DDC activity in these tissues. Immunocytochemical analysis revealed that DDC was mainly located in the proximal straight tubular cells of the kidney and in the cytoplasm of enterocytes. These data and the fact that renal DDC inversely correlated with renal sodium reabsorption suggest that renal and intestinal gender dimorphism in DDC could be related to sex-related differences in sodium balance observed between males and females." @default.
