چکیده

The activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase in extracts of mitochondria from rat hepatocytes cultured for 21 h in medium 199 was increased 2.5-fold by the presence of 55 nM-glucagon and 1 mM-sodium n-octanoate in the culture medium. The change was comparable with that induced in vivo by 48 h starvation. The potential contribution of branched-chain complex to estimates of PDH-complex activity in rat liver mitochondria has been defined.

Longer-term regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase in cultured rat hepatocytes.

The activities of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) kinase and of PDH kinase activator protein (KAP) were increased 2-2.4-fold during 25 h of culture of hepatocytes from fed rats with glucagon plus n-octanoate. PDH kinase activity in hepatocytes from starved rats (initially 2.2 x fed control) fell during 25 h of culture in medium 199 (to 1.5 x fed control), but was maintained by glucagon plus octano...

Longer-term regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase in cultured rat cardiac myocytes.

The increased activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) kinase induced in hearts of rats by starvation for 48 h was maintained following preparation of cardiac myocytes, and it was also maintained, though at a decreased level, after 25 h of culture in medium 199. This loss of PDH kinase activity was not prevented by n-octanoate, dibutyryl cyclic AMP or glucagon. The PDH kinase activity of myocyt...

Glucagon-stimulated phosphorylation of pyruvate kinase in hepatocytes.

A 32P-labeled pyruvate kinase (L-type isozyme) was elicited in response to glucagon and has been isolated from suspensions of hepatocytes incubated with inorganic [32P]phosphate. The pyruvate kinase in crude extracts of hepatocytes was stabilized by ammonium sulfate fractionation, 30% glycerol, and 50 mM KF and the enzyme was isolated by immunoprecipitation with anti-liver pyruvate kinase immun...

Regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase in isolated rat liver mitochondria. Effects of octanoate, oxidation-reduction state, and adenosine triphosphate to adenosine diphosphate ratio.

Factors which influence the distribution of pyruvate dehydrogenase between its active, unphosphorylated form (PDHa) and its inactive, phosphorylated form (PDHb) have been examined in isolated rat liver mitochondria. A rapid freezing method was developed for the extraction of pyruvate dehydrogenase from incubated mitochondria which prevented interconversions between PHDa and PDHb which normally ...

The Effects of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase 4 (PDK4) Inhibition on Metabolic Flexibility during Endurance Training in Skeletal Muscles of Streptozotocin-induced Diabetic Rats

Background:Metabolic flexibility is the capacity of a system to adjust fuel (primarily glucose and fatty acids) oxidation based on nutrient availability. Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase 4 (PDK4) is one of the main enzymes that play a critical role in metabolic flexibility. In current study, we examined PDK4 inhibition along with exercise training (ET) on the gene expression of Es...
