1. Limulus hepatopancreas, coxal glands and intestine contain a particulate enzyme which can synthesize glucose 6-phosphate from glucose and inorganic pyrophosphate or carbamyl phosphate as well as hydrolyze glucose 6-phosphate. This has been clearly differentiated from hydrolysis by lysosomal or soluble phosphatases. 2. The enzyme resembles vertebrate glucose-6-phosphatase in its specific anatomical distribution, pH optimum, kinetic properties, donor specificity and phospholipid dependence, as indicated by its satency and lability to detergent treatment. 3. A variety of other invertebrates tested exhibited little or no PPi-glucose phosphotransferase activity with these properties. A similar phosphotransferase activity of lobster hepatopancreas had somewhat different kinetic properties and pH optimum. 4. The hypothesis that a specific glucose-6-phosphatase is to be found only in those animals which utilize free glucose as an important circulating form of energy is presented and discussed. It appears that a variety of transport compounds, such as trehalose and glucose, was tried at the evolutionary level of the Arthropods.

The plausibility of various hypotheses concerning the effects of glucow dynamic model of glucose metabolism in the liver. The model consisted of six compartments representing extracellular glucose, and intracellular glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, glucose 1-phosphate, uridine diphosphate glucose, obtained from literature reports, the model predicted values of intermediates which were close to those reported for the liver, sampled from fasting animals. The model predicts that glucose can generate significant glycogen deposition by engendering the inhibition of glucose-6-phosphatase, but not by mass action, glycogen synthase activation, or phosphorylase deactivation. The model predicts that, although insulin can inhibit glucose production by lowering phosphorylase and gluconeogenesis, only an insulin-mediated induction of glucokinase can account for insulin's action to potentiate the effect of glucose alone on glycogen synthesis.

We demonstrate that glucose-6-phosphatase, pyrophosphate-glucose phosphotransferase, carbamyl phosphate-glucose phosphotransferase and inorganic pyrophosphatase activities are deficient in livers of patients with type I glycogen storage disease. This provides strong genetic evidence that these enzymatic activities reside in a single protein or share a common polypeptide chain.

Investigated was the effect of the somatotropic hormone (STH) at doses of 0.3 mg/kg and 1 mg/kg liveweight on the amount of insulin, glucose, and free fatty acids (FFA) in the serum up to the 12th hour following treatment. The activity of glucose-6-phosphatase and the amount of glycogen were studied in tissue samples taken through biopsy of the liver at the 2nd, 4th, 6th, and 8th hour after treatment with STH. The content of blood sugar decreased, and that of insulin increased in the course of one hour following treatment. The values shown by FFA first dropped (at the end of the 1st hour), and then rose by the 6th hour after treatment. The amount of glycogen and the activity of glucose-6-phosphatase increased at the 6th hour following treatment with STH. The variations shown by the investigated indices depend on the size of the STH doses.

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.

Circadian rhythms of alterations in content of 11-hydroxycorticosteroids and glucose in blood as well as in the activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, fructose-1,6-diphosphatase and glucose-6-phosphatase in liver and kidney tissues were studied under normal and inverted luminous regimens in summer and winter seasons. These patterns were distinctly altered depending on circadian rhythms in the above-mentioned conditions. The maximal content of 11-hydroxycorticosteroids in blood did not correlate with the highest activity of the gluconeogenesis key enzymes in the periods studied. Daily alterations in the activity of phosphoemolpyruvate carboxykinase were shown to be similar to that of the fructose-1,6-diphosphatase in various tissues at different seasons. But glucose-6-phosphatase differed distinctly from these enzymes by the daily rhythm of activity. This suggests that glucose-6-phosphatase has the other mechanism for regulation of its daily rhythm.

The activity of hexokinase, glucose-6-phosphatase and glucose-6-phosphoric dehydrogenase was studied in the liver of rats after one hour, one and five days after a single oral administration of organic phosphorus insecticide valekson. It was determined that administration of the preparation led to an increase of activity in the homogenate and solubilization of glucose-6-phosphatase, activation of glucose-6-phosphoric dehydrogenase and inhibition of hexokinase. The changes were maximum one hour after the administration of the compound. The results show that a decrease of the intensity of glucose-6-phosphate formation and metabolism is one of the pathogenetic factors in the development of valekson-induced intoxication.

The aim of the present work was to study by means of histochemical and chemical methods the 7-day course of changes in carbohydrate metabolism in the liver of male rats induced by a single dose of isoprenaline of 50 mg/kg administered subcutaneously. A statistically significant reduction was seen both in the level of free glycogen and lactate within 24 hours. The decrease of pyruvate level was not so marked. At the same time, there was increased, and within the hepatic lobules also extended activity of enzymes catalyzing glycogenolysis, i.e. alpha-glucan phosphorylase and particularly the branching Q-enzyme, glucose-6-phosphatase and LDH, whereas the level of malate and activity of SDH, which are constituents of the Krebs cycle, were found to be reduced. Cytochrome oxidase activity was changed after 24 hr compared to the controls. The obtained results indicate that an extensive glycogenolysis occurs in the liver of rats in the 24 hr following s.c. administration of isoprenaline, the major part of liver glycogen being degraded through glucose-6-phosphate to blood glucose and its metabolism via the Krebs cycle reduced. The observed metabolic changes are of reversible character and tend to normalize over the 2nd and 3rd day following isoprenaline administration.

Biochemical and histological investigations were carried out with cows affected with ketosis in a subclinical and clinical form. Parellel studies were performed with normal (control) cows originating from the herds with the ill animals and manifesting the same physiologic status. It was found that the blood level of glucose in the diseased cows was lowered more than 2.6 times, and the content of ketone bodies was higher-- it was increased 4.6 times, that of total lipids was 2.6 times higher, and that of free fatty acids was 3.5 times higher as compared to the same indices in the controls. The blood content of pyruvate in the affected cows was also increased. The liver glycogen in these animals was lowered from 2.1 to 4.1 times. The activity of glucose-6-phosphatase was lower, and that of glucose-6-phosphatedehydrogenase was higher as against the same indices shown by normal cows.

Previous studies showed that livers from carnivorous birds have a higher gluconeogenic capacity and higher levels of gluconeogenic enzymes than livers from granivorous birds. In this work we compare the effects of fasting and adrenalectomy on gluconeogenesis. Fasting in the chicken elicited increased rates of incorporation of 14C from alanine into blood glucose, increased gluconeogenesis in liver slices, and increased activities of four gluconeogenic enzymes: glucose-6-phosphatase, phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, alanine aminotransferase, and aspartate aminotransferase. These responses in the chicken resemble those observed in fasted rodents. In marked contrast, fasting in black vultures induced decreased rates of incorporation of alanine label into circulating glucose, decreased gluconeogenesis in liver slices, and no change in any of the four enzymes studied. This unusual response to fasting in the carnivorous bird is probably related to the high-protein-low-carbohydrate content of the diet. Fasted adrenalectomized birds (granivorous and carnivorous) had reduced rates of in vivo glucose synthesis, decreased liver gluconeogenesis, and lower activity of glucose-6-phosphatase and aspartate aminotransferase, without change in phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase and alanine aminotransferase activities.
