1	1842751	The present study with streptozotocin diabetic rats is focussed on the mechanism of action, specifically on a) hepatic gluconeogenesis b) activity of key gluconeogenic enzymes, pyruvate carboxylase (PC) and phosphoenol-pyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK).
2	1600838	Several of these agents are discussed in this article under categories relating to their mechanisms of lowering blood glucose: 1) inhibition of the release or action of counterregulatory hormones; 2) inhibition of postprandial glucose rise; 3) sensitization of tissues to insulin's actions; and 4) inhibition of gluconeogenesis, including inhibition of the long-chain acyl-CoA-carnitine acyltransferase I, the long-chain acylcarnitine translocase, and pyruvate carboxylase.
3	1601389	Islets expressed pyruvate carboxylase mRNA, but even islets from rats which had been starved (a condition which induces phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) in liver, kidney and adipose tissue) showed no PEPCK mRNA.
4	20484462	We used rat islets and insulinoma (INS-1) cells to explore the interactions of PRL, glucose, and dexamethasone (DEX) in the regulation of beta-cell pyruvate carboxylase (PC), pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), and the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases (PDKs), which catalyze the phosphorylation and inactivation of PDH.
