Adrenergic control of glycolysis and pyruvate kinase activity in hepatocytes from young and old rats.

چکیده
The influence of various adrenergic agonists and antagonists on pyruvate kinase activity and lactate production from endogenous glycogen reserves was investigated in hepatocytes isolated from young and old rats. With hepatocytes prepared fromjuvenile rats (100 to 150 g) 10 PM epinephrine and 10 pM isoproterenol (a padrenergic agonist) inhibit pyruvate kinase activity and lactate production; whereas, 10 pM phenylephrine (an cu-adrenergic agonist) has no influence on either parameter. With hepatocytes from fully mature adults (300 g and up) epinephrine, isoproterenol, and phenylephrine are all without influence on lactate production from endogenous glycogen reserves. Epinephrine gives a small but reproducible inhibition of pyruvate kinase activity in hepatocytes from adult rats, but isoproterenol and phenylephrine have no significant influence on the enzyme activity. In the presence of 0.5 mM theophylline, epinephrine and phenylephrine give a significant inhibition of pyruvate kinase activity and lactate production, with hepatocytes from both young and adult rats. Theophylline alone has no significant influence on pyruvate kinase activity, but it does give approximately 20% inhibition of lactate production in hepatocytes from both young and old rats. The results of this investigation demonstrate that selective changes in the metabolic response of the hepatocyte to various adrenergic agonists occur as the rat matures; however, similar changes are not observed with glucagon. The selective changes in the metabolic response of the hepatocyte appear to be related to changes in the adrenergic receptor system which occur during development.

Development of gluconeogenesis from dihydroxyacetone in rat hepatocytes during a feeding cycle and starvation.
Pyruvate kinase activity and the rates of gluconeogenesis and glycolysis in rat hepatocytes were evaluated by production of glucose and lactate + pyruvate from dihydroxyacetone during a feeding cycle or progressive starvation. In fed rats, during daylight (low food intake) and until darkness, gluconeogenesis progressively increased and glycolysis decreased slightly, but gluconeogenesis never ex...

The effects of oxalate on glycolysis and glucose production from trioses were studied in hepatocytes isolated from fed and fasted rats. 1--In cells from fed rats oxalate inhibited glycolysis at the pyruvate kinase step, as shown by an increased phosphoenolpyruvate concentration, a decreased lactate and pyruvate production and a reduction of the glycolytic flux estimated by the rate of detritiat...

The relative rate of pyruvate kinase synthesis in alloxan-diabetic rats was Y3 of that observed in controls and increased 3to 4-fold upon treatment with insulin for 3 days. Similar changes in the catalytic activity were observed: 120 + 40, 650 + 100, and 230 ± 79 units of pyruvate kinase/liver in diabetic rats, diabetic rats maintained on insulin for 3 days, and controls, respectively. Thus, ch...

Hepatocytes isolated from rats fed on a chow diet or a low-protein (8% ) diet were used to study the effects of various factors on flux through the branched-chain 2-oxo acid dehydrogenase complex. The activity of this complex was also determined in cell-free extracts ofthe hepatocytes. Hepatocytes isolated from chow-fed rats had greater flux rates (decarboxylation rates of3-methyl-2-oxobutanoat...
