title: [Role of the carbohydrate-binding center of bacterial lectin in the effect on adipocytes under the influence of increased temperature].
abstract: The effect of temperature and lectin from bacteria of the genues Azospirillum with blocked activity on human adipose tissue cells has been studied. The temperature used was 43.5 +/- 0.5 degrees C. Comparative results are given for the effect of lectin with the blocked and active carbohydrate-binding centers on adipocytes during heating, and the time course of the structural changes of adipocytes is described. When lectin with the active carbohydrate-binding centers was used for treatment, the heat-treated cells of a healthy obesity-prone subject died on the average in 55 +/- 5 min, whereas cells treated with lectin with the L-fucose-blocked carbohydrate-binding centers died in 80 +/- 5 min. The heat-treated cells of a diabetic obesity-prone patient died in 150 +/- 10 min on average when exposed to both active and inactive lectin. Consequently, when the lectin center is blocked with L-fucose, the effectiveness of lectin action on adipose cells of healthy obesity-prone persons decreases.
