Gibberellic Acid

Gibberellic acid is a diterpene fungal metabolite and plant hormone that has been found in Gibberella and various plants. It induces production of alpha-amylase to stimulate seed germination in cereal grains and stimulates photo- and skoto-morphogenesis and internode elongation in Arabidopsis. Gibberellic acid (150 µg per animal) increases testicular 3beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (3beta-HSD) and 17beta-HSD activities and testosterone levels, markers of steroidogenesis, in rats. Dietary administration of gibberellic acid (300 ppm) to pregnant rats increases hepatic malondialdehyde (MDA) levels, decreases catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD), and glutathione peroxidase (GPX) activities, and reduces hepatic function in both the pregnant rats and their offspring. Formulations containing gibberellic acid were previously used to enhance crop growth in agriculture.Formal Name: (1alpha,2beta,4aalpha,4bbeta,10beta)-2,4a,7-trihydroxy-1-methyl-8-methylene-gibb-3-ene-1,10-dicarboxylic acid, 1,4a-lactone.
