The role of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in amino acid metabolism in muscle.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Starvation or feeding rats on a high-protein diet, valine or isoleucine, but not leucine, increases the activity of muscle phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, but has no effect on NADP+-linked malate dehydrogenase. This suggests that muscle phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is involved in oxidation or conversion of some amino acids to alanine.

Branched-chain amino acid metabolism and alanine formation in rat muscles in vitro. Mitochondrial-cytosolic interrelationships.
Muscle branched-chain amino acid metabolism is coupled to alanine formation via branched-chain amino acid aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase, but the subcellular distributions of these and other associated enzymes are uncertain. Recovery of branched-chain aminotransferase in the cytosol fraction after differential centrifugation was shown to be accompanied by leakage of mitochondrial...
متن کاملAlanine and inter-organ relationships in branched-chain amino and 2-oxo acid metabolism. Review.
Branched-chain amino acid metabolism in skeletal muscle promotes the production of alanine, an important precursor in hepatic gluconeogenesis. There is controversy concerning the origin of the carbon skeleton of alanine produced in muscle, specifically whether it is derived from carbohydrate via glycolysis (the glucose-alanine cycle) or from amino acid precursors (viz. glutamate, valine, isoleu...

Isoleucine, a branched chain amino acid, plays an important role in the improvement of glucose metabolism as evidenced by the increase of insulin-independent glucose uptake in vitro. This study evaluated the effect of isoleucine on glucose uptake and oxidation in fasted rats and on gluconeogenesis in vivo and in vitro. Oral administration of isoleucine decreased the plasma glucose level by 20% ...
متن کاملThe unique role of the kidney in gluconeogenesis in the chicken. The significance of a cytosolic form of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase.
The role of mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in both hepatic and renal gluconeogenesis was studied in the chicken since this species reportedly lacks the cytosolic enzyme. Lactate is the major substrate used for glucose synthesis in isolated chicken hepatocytes but pyruvate, glycerol, and some amino acids, as well as lactate, are converted to glucose in isolated chicken kidney tu...
متن کاملHyperhomocysteinemia stimulates hepatic glucose output and PEPCK expression.
Homocysteine is an intermediate in the sulfur amino acid metabolism. Recent studies suggested that there might be links between hyperhomocysteinemia and insulin resistance. In the present study, we investigated the effect of homocysteine on glucose metabolism. We demonstrated that the levels of insulin were significantly higher in mice with hyperhomocysteinemia than those in the normal mice aft...
