In acute CCL4 intoxication of rats significantly increased activities of hepatic low-Km hexokinases, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, phosphofructokinase, aldolase A and pyruvate kinase M2 with concurrently decreased activities of glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, aldolase B and pyruvate kinase L were observed. The resulting enzyme pattern was apparently different from that in dietary induction. Principal component analysis revealed that the degree of enzyme deviation in the injured liver was much greater than that in the regenerating liver after partial hepatectomy and was closer to that in fetal liver or hepatoma tissue.

The activities and zonal distribution of key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism were studied in livers of diabetic rats. 48 h after alloxan treatment the following alterations were observed, intermediate values being reached after 24 h: Blood glucose, acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate were increased to more than 500%; liver glycogen was reduced to about 10%. Portal vein insulin was reduced to below 10%, portal glucagon was increased to almost 200%. The glucogenic enzymes phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and glucose-6-phosphatase were enhanced to 320% and 150%, respectively. The glycolytic enzymes glucokinase and pyruvate kinase L (differentiated from the M2 isoenzyme with a specific anti-L-antibody) were lowered to 50% and 75%, respectively. The citrate cycle enzyme succinate dehydrogenase remained unchanged. The normal periportal to perivenous gradient of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase of about 3:1, as measured in microdissected tissue samples, was enhanced to about 4:1 with activities elevated to 230% and 190%, respectively, in the two zones. The normal periportal to perivenous gradient of pyruvate kinase L of about 1:1.7, as determined with the microdissection technique, was reduced to about 1:1.4 with levels lowered to 55% and 45%, respectively, in the two zones. The even zonal distribution of pyruvate kinase M2 remained unaltered.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

The activities and zonal distribution of key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism were studied in livers of rats after end-to-side portocaval anastomosis. Sham-operated control animals with the same periods of interruption of hepatic blood supply as the shunted animals were pair-fed. The following alterations were observed: Food uptake was reduced to about 20% at the first postoperational day; it was then increased continuously to about 70% at day 8. Body weight, after a small 10% postoperational decrease, remained unaltered, but liver weight was lowered to 55% at day 8 and then stayed constant. The total glycogen reserves of the liver (g X 100 g body weight-1) were reduced, after a transient fall to about 10% at day 1-4, to about 25%. The total activity of the glucogenic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (mumol . min-1 X 100 g body weight-1) was diminished, after a transient increase to 190% and 150% at day 1 and 2 respectively, to about 55% from day 8 onwards. The total activity of the glucogenic glucose-6-phosphatase was lowered without a transient rise to about 30%. The total activities of the glycolytic pyruvate kinase isoenzyme L and glucokinase were decreased continuously to about 40% at day 8; that of the citrate cycle enzyme succinate dehydrogenase was lowered parallel with liver weight to 55%. The transient decrease of the glycogen reserves and the intermediate increase of the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase capacity were due to the operational stress, since they were observed also in the sham-operated control animals. All other alterations, the decrease of liver weight and of the capacities of both gluconeogenic and glycolytic key enzymes, were specific for the portocaval anastomosis. The normal periportal to perivenous gradient of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase of about 3.5:1, as measured in microdissected tissue samples, remained the same with specific activities reduced to about 80% each in the two zones. The normal periportal to perivenous gradient of pyruvate kinase L of about 1:1.7 was equalized with levels lowered to 35% and 23%, respectively, in the two zones. The normal periportal to perivenous gradients of glucose-6-phosphatase and succinate dehydrogenase, demonstrated histochemically, were essentially maintained with perivenous bridging occurring transiently at day 4 and 8.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)

Activities (mumol X min-1 X g liver) and zonal distributions of key enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism were studied in livers of streptozotocin-diabetic rats and compared to the values in alloxan-diabetes. Streptozotocin led to a non-ketotic diabetes with blood glucose being increased by more than fivefold but ketone bodies being in the normal range, while alloxan produced a ketotic diabetes with blood glucose, acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate being elevated by more than fivefold. Portal insulin was decreased to about 20% in streptozotocin- and more drastically to about 7% in alloxan-diabetes. Conversely, portal glucagon was increased in the two states to about 250% and 180%, respectively. The glucogenic key enzyme phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) was enhanced in streptozotocin- and alloxan-diabetes to over 300%, while the glycolytic pyruvate kinase L (PKL) was lowered to 65% and 80%, respectively. The normal periportal to perivenous gradient of PEPCK of about 3:1, as measured in microdissected tissue samples, was maintained with elevated activities in the two zones. The normal periportal to perivenous gradient of PKL of 1:1.7 was diminished with lowered activities in the two zones. The glucogenic glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) was increased in streptozotocin- and alloxan-diabetes to 130% and 140%, respectively, while the glucose utilizing glucokinase (GK) was decreased to 60% and 50%, respectively. The normal periportal to perivenous gradient of G6Pase, demonstrated histochemically, remained unaffected. Carnitine palmitoyltransferase (CPT) was increased to over 190% and acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC) was decreased to 60% in streptozotocin, non-ketotic diabetes, while the two enzymes were altered more drastically to 400% and 50%, respectively, in alloxan, ketotic diabetes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
