The observed equilibrium constants (Kobs) of the creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2), myokinase (EC 2.7.4.3), glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9), and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) reactions have been determined at 38 degrees C, pH 7.0, ionic strength 0.25, and varying free magnesium concentrations. The equilibrium constant (KCK) for the creatine kinase reaction defined as: KCK = [sigma ATP] [sigma creatine] divided by ([sigma ADP] [sigma creatine-P] [H+]) was measured at 0.25 ionic strength and 38 degrees C and was shown to vary with free [Mg2+]. The value was found to be 3.78 x 10(8) M-1 at free [Mg2+] = 0 and 1.66 x 10(9) M-1 at free [Mg2+] = 10(-3) M. Therefore, at pH 7.0, the value of Kobs, defined as Kobs = KCK[H+] = [sigma ATP] [sigma creatine] divided by ([sigma ADP] [sigma creatine-P] was 37.8 at free [Mg2+] = 0 and 166 at free [Mg2+] = 10(-3) M. The Kobs value for the myokinase reaction, 2 sigma ADP equilibrium sigma AMP + sigma ATP, was found to vary with free [Mg2+], being 0.391 at free [Mg2+] = 0 and 1.05 at free [Mg2+] = 10(-3) M. Taking the standard state of water to have activity equal to 1, the Kobs of glucose-6-P hydrolysis, sigma glucose-6-P + H2O equilibrium sigma glucose + sigma Pi, was found not to vary with free [Mg2+], being 110 M at both free [Mg2+] = 0 and free [Mg2+] = 10(-3) M. The Kobs of fructose-1,6-P2 hydrolysis, sigma fructose-1,6-P2 equilibrium sigma fructose-6-P + sigma Pi, was found to vary with free [Mg2+], being 272 M at free [Mg2+] = 0 and 174 M at free [Mg2+] = 0.89 x 10(-3) M.

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.

The effects of two environmental temperatures (T; 16 degrees and 31 degrees), five diet dilutions (D; 0%, 12.5%, 25%, 37.5% and 50%), and five daily treadmill running periods (E; 10 minutes, 40 minutes, 70 minutes, 100 minutes, and 130 minutes) upon enzyme activities of liver and adipose tissue of male rats were observed. Liver enzymes studied were glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), 6-P-gluconate dehydrogenase (6PGD), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), fructose diphosphatase (FDPase), NADP-isocitrate dehydrogenase (ICDH), and malic enzyme (ME). Adipose tissue (epididymal fat) enzymes (6PGD, G6PD, and ME) were studied as well as the in vitro incorporation of the 14C of [U-14C] glucose into liberated 14CO2 and into the triglycerides, free fatty acids, and total lipids by adipose tissue slices. Equations describing regression surfaces for these responses (expressed as units/100 g body weight) could contain significant linear coefficients of the independent variables (T, D, and E), their first order interactions, and quadratic coefficients for D and E. Significnat regression coefficients for activities of liver enzymes associated with increased lipogenesis (6PGD, G6PD, and ME) produced response surfaces with conformations generally concave downward. All enzymes possessed positive and negative linear and quadratic coefficients for D which caused response surfaces to be concave downward with respect to that variable. Also, 6PGD and G6PD (positive linear and negative quadratic coefficients for E) exhibited response surfaces concave downward with respect to E. Additionally, 6PGD showed greater activity at 31 degrees than at 16 degrees while G6PD showed no effect of temperature on activity. Liver ICDH, probably important in supplying reducing equivalents for fatty acid synthesis, evidenced response surfaces almost identical to those for 6PGD. Significant regression coefficients for activity of liver enzymes associated with increased gluconeogenesis (FDPase and G6Pase) produced for FDPase a response surface concave downward with respect to both D and E with greater values at 31 degrees than at 16 degrees; but for G6Pase non-concave surfaces with lesser values at 31 degrees than at 16 degrees. Significant regression coefficients for activities of adipose enzymes associated with increased lipogenesis produced for 6PGD a response surface concave upward due to negative linear and positive quadratic coefficients for both D and E. For G6PD and ME regression surfaces were concave upward with respect to E, but these were modified by positive and negative linear coefficients, respectively, for D. Significant regression coefficients for incorporation of the 14C of glucose into triglycerides and free fatty acids of adipose tissue slices and their production of 14CO2 yielded response surfaces concave upward with respect to E (negative linear and positive quadratic coefficients). In addition, the surface for free fatty acids was concave upward with respect to D. The 14CO2 production was greater at 16 degrees than at 31 degrees...

During the first 72 h after 67% partial hepatectomy of female Wistar rats (160 g) the specific activities [mumol X min-1 X (g liver)-1] of the glucogenic glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-bisphosphatase and of the glycolytic hexokinase and 6-phosphofructokinase remained essentially constant. However, the activity of the glycolytic pyruvate kinase (L- plus M2-type) was decreased slightly and that of glucokinase was decreased markedly to below 30%, while the glucogenic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase was increased to over 200%. Between 10 and 40 h after partial hepatectomy, when the proliferation started in the periportal area, a shift of the glucogenic glucose-6-phosphatase-rich zone from its normal periportal to an intermediate or even perivenous position was observed histochemically. After 48 h, when the proliferation was no longer restricted to the periportal zone, the normal glucose-6-phosphatase zonation (as before partial hepatectomy) was restored. Glycogen was degraded rapidly during the first 4 h after operation; it was later repeatedly resynthesized and degraded in correlation with the feeding rhythm of the animals. The zonation of glycogen metabolism was in accord with the observed zonation of glucose-6-phosphatase.

Activities of the 4 hepatic gluconeogenic enzymes: glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase, pyruvate carboxylase, particulate and cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) have been measured in fetal rabbits (22, 25, 28, 30 and 31 days of gestation) and in fasted or suckling newborns (1 and 2 days after birth). Between days 25 and 31 of gestation, fructose 1,6-diphosphatase and particulate PEPCK activities represent 50% of adult (pregnant female) activities, while pyruvate carboxylase is present at adult values during the same period. Glucose-6-phosphatase is low and cytosolic PEPCK absent in fetal liver until 30 days of gestation and increase significantly during the day preceding birth. Al the enzymes show a further increase after birth independently of the nutritional status of the animals (starved or suckling).

Human blood platelets contain no detectable activity of the enzymes fructose diphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11), phospho-enolpyruvate carboxykinase (EC 4.1.1.32) and pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1.). Glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) activity is very low. Phosphofructokinase present in human blood platelets, catalyzes a reaction which can be stimulated by AMP in a platelet homogenate, due to the presence of endogenous ADP and myokinase. These enzymes are responsible for the formation of fructose-6-phosphate from fructose-1, 6-diphosphate. Pyruvate kinase (EC 2.7.1.40) in human blood platelets belongs to the M-type, which is not inhibited by ATP, at least not under the conditions applied. The results obtained indicate that gluconeogenesis in human blood platelets is not present in the way which has been established for liver and kidney.

The activities of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6P), fructose diphosphatase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), aspartate and alanine transferases were measured in liver and kidney of fetal foals between 100-318 days of gestation (term approximately 335 days) and during the immediate postnatal period (0-48 h after birth). All 5 enzymes could be detected in the fetal liver and kidney at the youngest gestational age studied. Mean fetal activities were lower than those observed in their mothers and showed no change with gestational age for the majority of enzymes studied. However, renal PEPCK and renal and hepatic G6P did increase towards term. At birth, hepatic and renal activities of these two enzymes were higher than those found in late gestation or in the adult animals. There was no apparent change in the activities of any of the other enzymes at birth. In late gestation (80-90% gestation), the activities of G6P and PEPCK in the foal were low compared to those in other species at the same stage of gestation. Similarly, the perinatal increase in enzyme activity occurred closer to term in the foal than in most other species. These observations indicate that maturation of glucogenic capacity occurs relatively late in the fetal foal and suggests that this process may be dependent on the prepartum rise in fetal cortisol as occurs in other species.

Some of the acute actions of insulin may be mediated by an enzyme-modulating inositol phosphate glycan, produced by the insulin-sensitive hydrolysis of glycosyl-phosphatidylinositol (GPI) that is structurally similar to a membrane protein anchor. An inositol glycan fragment from the structurally characterized Trypanosoma brucei variant surface glycoprotein GPI anchor is evaluated for insulin-mimetic antilipolytic activity. The fragment specifically and dose-dependently inhibits isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis. Like the effect of insulin, glycan-induced antilipolysis is blocked by the low Km cAMP phosphodiesterase inhibitor imazodan (CI-914) and the serine/threonine phosphatase inhibitor, okadaic acid, suggesting that the activation of both cAMP phosphodiesterase and serine/threonine protein phosphatases are necessary. Moreover, this fragment causes a specific and dose-dependent inhibition of both microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9) and cytosolic fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) activity. Additionally, direct addition of the glycan to hepatocytes caused marked inhibition of glucose production from pyruvate. These results suggest that the direct modification of the activities of these two gluconeogenic enzymes by an inositol glycan may play a role in the inhibition of glucose output by insulin and provide the first evidence for the insulin-mimetic properties of a chemically characterized inositol glycan.

Twenty-four male (12 obese and 12 lean) and 21 female (11 obese and 10 lean) SHR/N-cp rats were fed a diet containing either 54% sucrose or starch for periods of 3-4 months. Rats were killed after a 14-16 h fast and liver enzyme activities were determined in both sex groups. Liver glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase), fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PDH), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (6PGDH), malic enzyme (ME), phosphofructokinase (PFK), glucokinase (GK), aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels (per total liver capacity) were significantly affected by phenotype (obese > lean). Arginase and ornithine transcarbamylase levels were analysed only in male rats and were found to be elevated in obese rats as compared to lean littermates. Some of the above changes in enzyme levels were exaggerated by sucrose feeding but not the changes in FBPase, PEPCK, ME and GK (in both sexes) plus AST, arginase and arginine synthase activities in male rats and ALT levels in female rats. Results from SHR/N-cp rats published in this paper were compared to results obtained from LA/N-cp rats published previously. Comparison of the non-diabetic obese LA/N-cp with the diabetic obese SHR/N-cp male shows a greater excess in lipogenic capacity of the liver in the LA/N-cp male rat. The SHR/N-cp obese female also shows a greater liver lipogenic capacity as compared with the obese male SHR/N-cp rat. The results suggest that an adaptation of excessive lipogenesis in the liver of obese rats may be an anti-diabetogenic adaptation resulting in increased glucose conversion to lipids, thus reducing blood glucose levels.

In order to evaluate the usefulness of key gluconeogenic enzymes, in relation to the markers commonly used (alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase) for the diagnose of cholestasis the serum activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose 1,6-bisphosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase has been measured in rats with bile-duct ligation. Among the gluconeogenic enzymes studied only phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase activity increased significantly in the first 48 hours after cholestasis, decreasing thereafter to normal values. Both alkaline phosphatase and gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase activities showed a very significant increase which persisted throughout the experiment. These results seem to indicate that in spite of the high organ specificity of these enzymes they do not appear to be useful for the diagnosis of cholestasis.
