alpha-glucosidases are cellular enzymes, able to split the polysaccharides into glucose. In subcellular fractions from rat and trout hepatocytes, the distribution patterns of neutral alpha-glucosidase and of glucose-6-phosphatase appear to be very similar, i.e., closely linked to the endoplasmic reticulum, and are somewhat related to the particular glycogen. The data suggest a probable role of neutral alpha-glucosidase in cell physiology and in carbohydrates metabolism.

Long-term dietary administration of the adrenal hormone dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA) to male Sprague-Dawley rats induced significant alterations in the activities of enzymes involved in liver carbohydrate metabolism. Although glycogen synthase activity was increased and phosphorylase decreased, glycogen stores were reduced. This was presumably related to lysosomal glycogen degradation, since alpha-glucosidase was increased. All rate-limiting enzymes of glucose metabolism which were studied (glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, total hexokinases, pyruvate kinase, fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase) revealed markedly reduced activity, only glucose-6-phosphatase activity was increased. These enzymatic changes point to a far-reaching metabolic shift towards energy loss via decreased glucose consumption and increased glucose output. The enzyme pattern induced by DHEA is in many respects opposite to that induced in preneoplastic and neoplastic liver lesions by chemical hepatocarcinogens.

Post-mortem brain samples from patients with either Huntington's disease, Alzheimer-type dementia or appropriate controls were assayed for endoplasmic reticulum enzymes, NADPH-cytochrome c reductase, neutral alpha-glucosidase, inosine diphosphatase, alpha-mannosidase and glucose-6-phosphatase and for Golgi enzymes, fucosyl- and galactosyl-transferases. In Alzheimer-type dementia there was a selective decrease in alpha-glucosidase activity in the temporal cortex. In Huntington's disease there was a selective decrease of putamen alpha-glucosidase and fucosyl-transferase activities. It is suggested that these changes reflect highly specific alterations in glycoprotein synthesis and processing and may contribute to the underlying pathology of these disorders.

Glycogen content and six major enzymatic activities involved in glycogen metabolism were analysed in chorionic villi (CV). Glycogen levels were found to be lower than those known to exist in liver and muscle. Activities of alpha-glucosidase, amylo-1,6-glucosidase, phosphorylase b and phosphorylase kinase were detectable by standard methods. The enzymatic activities of glucose-6-phosphatase and phosphorylase a were undetectable. These findings suggest that CV biopsies can be useful for first-trimester diagnosis of glycogen storage disease types II, III and VI, but not for type I (glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency).

Various functionalized mono- and diarylanthranilo-1,3-dinitriles were synthesized and evaluated for their in vitro antihyperglycemic activity against the PTP-1B, glucose-6-phosphatase, glycogen phosphorylase and alpha-glucosidase enzymes. Among various screened compounds, 5,6-diaryl substituted anthranilo-1,3-dinitriles 3a, 3b, and 3d showed good inhibitory activity against PTP-1B with IC(50) values of 58-72 microM. Three of the test compounds showed significant (25-37%) lowering of plasma glucose level at 24h in sucrose-challenged streptozotocin-induced diabetic Sprague-Dawley rat model.

Diabetes is a global threat threatening human health in the world, with an increasing incidence rate in recent years. The disorder of glucose metabolism is one of the major factors. As relevant glucose metabolic enzymes such as alpha-glucosidase, glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-P), glycogen phosphorylase (GP) and glycogen synthase kinase-3 (GSK-3) get involved in and control the process of glucose metabolism, the regulation of the activity of glucose metabolic enzymes is of significance to the treatment of diabetes. Traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have been widely researched because of their low toxicology and high efficiency, and many extracts and components from TCMs have been proven to be regulators of glucose metabolic enzymes. Compared with anti-diabetic western medicines, anti-diabetic TCMs feature safety, reliability and low price. This essay summarizes the anti-diabetic effect of TCMs on regulating glucose metabolic enzymes.
