1. Cataract formation in streptozotocin-induced diabetes in rats was reduced by approximately 85% when a diet rich in maize oil (300 g/kg diet) (fat diet) was given, thus confirming results of earlier studies. However, the concentration of sorbitol in the lens of diabetic animals remained high, the values for diabetic rats given the standard diet and the fat died being 65 and 40 mumol/g protein respectively. 2. With the standard diet, the fatty acid profile of the triglycerides of the epididymal fat pads was characterized by a greater relative proportion of saturated fatty acids for the diabetic animals compared to that for the normal animals. The fat diet moderated the tendency towards saturation in the diabetic animals. 3. The fat diet had other effects on the diabetic animals; these included a reduced mortality rate, increased body-weight, a decrease in the daily water intake, and in the daily urinary excretion of glucose and urea. 4. In the diabetic animals the fat diet had no effect on the specific activities in the liver of hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1), glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2), phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) and pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40). However, the specific activity of glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) was reduced, while that of malate dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) (NADP) (EC 1.1.1.40) was increased. The NAD+:NADH ratio, as calculated from liver pyruvate and lactate concentrations, tended to increase. 5. The results suggested that the fat diet moderated the long-term metabolic effects of diabetes.

1. The ratio of the combined activities of hexokinase (EC 2.7.1.1) and glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2) to the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) changed in favour of the glycolytic enzymes during pregnancy and at peak lactation. 2. There were no important changes in the ratio of the activity of phosphofructokinase (EC 2.7.1.11) to that of fructose diphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11). 3. The ratio of the activity of pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) to the combined activities of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase (EE 4.1.1.32) and pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1) changed in favour of the glycolytic enzyme during pregnancy and at peak lactation, but changed in favour of the gluconeogenic enzymes immediately after parturition. 4. These changes are considered in relation to the changes in food intake and hormonal status that occur during pregnancy and lactation.

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 of hexokinase, glucokinase, phosphofructokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase were determined in loach embryos developed in solutions of insulin, hydrocortisone, estrone and thyroxin at different stages of embryogenesis. Glucokinase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase activties are shown not to change markedly under the influence of the above-mentioned hormones. During some periods of early development the hexokinase activity is inhibited by insulin, estrone and thyroxin. The glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity is suppressed by each of the used hormones at all the stages of early embryogenesis while the glocose-6-phosphatase activity decreased only under the influence of insulin at the cleavage, blastula and gastrula stages. Insulin increased the activity of phosphofructokinase at the cleavage, blastula and early gastrula stages and hydrocortisone, estrone and thyroxine during certain periods of these stages. From middle gastrula two last hormones decreased the phosphofructokinase activity in the loach embryos.

It is established that in embryos incubated until the early blastula stage in the solution of insulin with addition of cycloheximide or puromycin, there is neither a decrease in the hexokinase and glucose-61 phosphate dehydrogenase activities nor an increase in the phosphofructokinase activity, as it is shown under the influence of insulin only. Puromycin removes an inhibitory effect of insulin on the glucose-6-phosphatase activity, and actinomycin D removes this influence with respect to glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities. The addition of antibiotics removes inhibition of the hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities by the hormone in the unfertilized eggs as well. Actinomycin D alone inhibits the hexokinase and activates the phosphofructokinase activities in the embryos and eggs, puromycin decreases their hexokinase activity and cycloheximide has the same effect on the glucose-6-phosphatase activity in the embryos only.

The activity of key glycolysis enzymes (hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphatase, phosphofructokinase, fructose-diphosphatase and ketose-1-phosphate aldolase) in the kidney tissue and its subcellular structures was studied in normal rats and in rats with experimental acute renal insufficiency. It is established that considerable biochemical changes in the kidney tissues affecting all the elements of cellular structures occur under acute lesion of the kidneys. The activity of the enzymes under study under acute renal insufficiency lowers to a greater extent in those subcellular structures of the kidneys where they are mainly localized. The arising disturbances in permeability of the kidneys cellular membranes intensify the release of the mentioned enzymes to blood serum and urine, that in its turn disturbs the coordination of certain glycolysis stages.

Hyperinsulinemia was produced in fetal rhesus monkeys for 21 days in the last third of gestation by subcutaneous pork insulin injected at 19 U a day. Plasma insulin concentrations in treated fetuses (N = 4) were 3525 microU/ml. There was no difference in paired pre- and post-treatment fetal plasma glucose concentration. Activity of the hepatic enzymes that promote glucose utilization (glucokinase and hexokinase) and glycolysis (phosphofructokinase, pyruvate kinase, and pyruvate dehydrogenase) was unaffected. Similarly, glycogen metabolism enzymes (active and inactive synthase and phosphorylase) were unaltered. Two gluconeogenic enzymes (PEPCK and glucose-6-phosphatase) were diminished in the treated group compared with controls. Fetal hyperinsulinemia enhanced lipogenic and NADPH-producing enzyme activities, as evidenced by a twofold increase in fatty acid synthase and in citrate cleavage enzyme activity. Malic enzyme was absent. Hyperinsulinemia with euglycemia (1) increases the activity of enzymes that participate in lipogenesis, (2) decreases some of those controlling gluconeogenesis, and (3) has no effect on the enzymes of glycolysis.

The activities of the key gluconeogenic, glycolytic, and pentose-shunt enzymes in chicken kidney were determined starting from 8 days before to 58 days after hatching. The activities of pyruvate carboxylase (PC), mitochondrial and cytosolic phosphoenolypruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), fructose-1,6-diphosphatase (FDPase) and glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) were low in the embryonic tissue but increased towards the time of hatching. After hatching, the activities of PC, mitochondrial PEPCK, and G6Pase continued to increase, but those of FDPase and cytosolic PEPCK decreased. Relatively little change in these activities was observed in chickens over 24 days old. The activities of hexokinase (HK), phosphofructokinase (PFK), pyruvate kinase (PK), and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) increased during embryonic growth. After hatching, HK activity continued to increase and then decrease, whereas PFK appeared to decrease and then increase to prehatch levels in 28-day-old birds. LDH activity continued to increase until 8 days after hatching and remained constant thereafter. No definite pattern was discernible in the case of PK. As for the pentose-shunt enzymes, there was no significant change in glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity (G6PDH), but the activity of 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH) increased until the chickens were 14 days old and then remained relatively constant.

Evidence is presented that the antitumor agent helenalin, a sesquiterpene lactone, suppresses anaerobic glycolytic enzymes of tumor cells at a number of sites and not exclusively at glycogen synthetase and phosphofructokinase, previously proposed sites for inhibition by alpha-methylene-gamma-lactones. Of the enzymes tested, the sulfhydryl-containing enzyme hexokinase was inhibited the maximum, i.e., 83%, by helenalin treatment, whereas phosphofructokinase and glycogen synthetase were suppressed approximately 45%. Another sulfhydryl-bearing enzyme, aldolase, was decreased approximately 43%. Phosphorylase a was inhibited 65%, glucose-6-phosphatase was inhibited 46%, and succinic dehydrogenase was inhibited 59% by helenalin treatment. Mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation processes were also significantly depressed in the presence of helenalin in vitro with either succinate or alpha-ketoglutarate as substrates. Thus, a number of enzymes of anaerobic and aerobic carbohydrate metabolism of Ehrlich ascites cells appear to be inhibited by helenalin, which supposedly can alkylate functional groups, e.g., sulfhydryl groups of these enzymes, by a rapid Michael-type addition.

1. The metabolic response of livers to perfusion with ethanol with and without avenaciolide, has been followed by measuring the perfusate levels of glucose, lactate, pyruvate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, ethanol, amino acids, urea and lipid. 2. Analysis of the perfused livers showed changes in the activities of some of the key enzymes of glycolysis, gluconeogenesis and lipogenesis. Ethanol perfusion decreased the levels of phosphofructokinase, glucokinase and cytosolic isocitrate dehydrogenase, while avenaciolide lowered pyruvate carboxylase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase as well as glucokinase. Isocitrate dehydrogenase and phosphofructokinase were unchanged, but the ionophore increased the level of fructose-1,6-diphosphatase. Ethanol plus avenaciolide showed the same pattern as ethanol alone, together with the decrease in phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase found with avenaciolide. 3. Neither ethanol nor avenaciolide had any effect on kexokinase, pyruvate kinase or acetyl-CoA carboxylase. There were small changes in glucose-6-phosphatase and malic enzyme, and a tendency for citrate lyase levels to decline in avenaciolide perfusions.
