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.

Hepatic carbohydrate metabolism in genetically diabetic mice (db/db) and their normal littermates has been studied. In db/db mice, body water was below normal and declined with age. The liver of db/db mice was abnormally large in relation to the metabolic mass of the body at all ages studied. In db/db mice, hepatic glycogenolysis, glycogen synthesis, glycogen synthetase, and phosphorylase were markedly increased. Gluconeogenesis from alanine or lactate in perfused livers of db/db mice was greater than normal per 100 g body water. Activities of fructose-1, 6-biophosphatase, glucose-6-phosphatase, glucokinase + hexokinase, and pyruvate kinase were elevated in livers of db/db mice. Diabetic mouse livers perfused with lactate showed a markedly reduced concentration of P-enolpyruvate and clear "forward crossover" between fructose-1, 6-P2 and fructose-6-P. In vivo glucose clearance, measured with [3-3H]glucose, in db/db mice was 170% that of normal mice. Data presented indicate that in livers of db/db mice: 1) glucose production is elevated prior to hyperglycemia, 2) glycogen turns over more rapidly, and 3) glycolytic and gluconeogenic enzymes are elevated paradoxically. These abnormalities are discussed from the viewpoint of their etiology.

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.

Activities of key carbohydrate-metabolizing enzymes were determined on biopsied liver tissues obtained from patients with acute and chronic viral hepatitis and postnecrotic cirrhosis of the liver. The results indicated that the activities of fetal or prototype enzymes, low-Km hexokinases, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase and pyruvate kinase type M2 increased, while those of adult type liver enzymes, glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphatase, fructose-1, 6-diphosphatase and pyruvate kinase type L decreased in livers of these cases. Phosphofructokinase activity tended to increase only acute hepatitis. Principal component analysis revealed that the enzyme patterns of acute hepatitis and liver cirrhosis were most deviated from the control and closely resembled those of hepatocellular carcinomas.

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.

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.

Activities of the key enzymes of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis were studied in soluble fraction of primary hepatoma, induced by diethyl nitrosamine (DENA) in rats and mice of C3HA strain. Histological structure of the tumors studied showed that they belonged mainly to highly differentiated hepatocellular adenomas. Liver tissue of the animals which were not treated with DENA, was used as a control. The hexokinase activity was increased about 2-fold in the rat hepatomas and 3-fold--in the mice hepatomas. In primary hepatomas the glucokinase activity was unaltered or slightly decreased; the fructokinase activity was distinctly decreased (in several cases down to zero). The activity of key enzymes of gluconeogenesis--glucose-6-phosphatase and fructose-1,6-diphosphatase--was distinctly decreased, especially the activity of the former enzyme, which constituted in hepatomas about 1/6 of the activity found in liver tissue.

The noradrenaline and glycogen contents as well as hexokinase, glucokinase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities were determined in normal, embryonic and partially denervated (bilateral dissection of the Nervus splanchnicus or Nervus vagus) rat liver and in two transplantable hepatomas. In embryonic liver and hepatomas a strong decrease or complete loss of noradrenaline and glycogen levels and glucokinase and glucose-6-phosphatase activities is demonstrable as compared to the livers of adult animals, while the hexokinase activity is enhanced. Following bilateral splanchnicotomy the glycogen content and hexokinase activity are enhanced; the glucose-6-phosphatase activity is reduced, and the liver does not contain any noradrenaline. Bilateral vagotomy causes decrease of the glycogen content, of the hexokinase and glucokinase activities and an enhancement of glucose-6-phosphatase activity. The results lend support to the idea of antagonistic action of the sympathetic and parasympathetic nervous systems upon several partial reactions of carbohydrate metabolism of liver. In addition, it can be assumed that the alterations of the carbohydrate metabolism demonstrable in hepatomas as compared to normal liver are not solely attributable to disturbance or breakdown of the nervous regulation.

Microsomal glucokinase is solubilized by incubation in the presence of several metabolites. After solubilization of the enzymes, the membranes present free sites for specific binding of glucokinase, therefore, they can be purified by affinity chromatography on Sepharose--ATP-glucokinase. This method yields membranous vesicles which contain, in addition to glucokinase, uridylyl-transferase, phosphoglucomutase, sialyl-transferase and adenylate cyclase. Galactosyl-transferase, glucose-6-phosphatase and NADPH cytochrome c reductase are absent. It appears that functionally related enzyme from UDP-glucose biosynthesis are aggregated onto specific patches of the membrane, most likely from Golgi apparatus.
