The mRNA that codes for phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase accounts for approximately 0.2% of the protein synthesized in H4IIEC3 hepatoma cells maintained for 24 h in serum-free medium containing N6,O2'-dibutyryl cAMP and theophylline. This value decreases to 0.04% within 3 h after the addition of insulin. Maximal effects are produced by 10(-10) M insulin, and half-maximal deinduction of both th...

Hepatic dysfunction is commonly observed in subjects with hyperthyroidism. Hepassocin a hepatokine playing an important role metabolic diseases and exhibiting hepatic protective effect. Nevertheless, the relationship between hepassocin hyperthyroidism was still unknown. In present study, total of 36 Graves’ disease were enrolled, we found that alanine aminotransferase (ALT) levels significantly...

Abstract Tropical xero-epiphytic orchids undergo a photosynthetic mechanism called ‘Crassulacean Acid Metabolism’, modification of Calvin–Benson cycle. This anabolic process aids in the long-term retention organically fixed CO 2 , imprinting them as active sequestrators and fixers gaseous . The malate decarboxylation competence enzymes—phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), Nicotinamide Ade...
