1 1269848 Whereas the PDH complex is fully activated before parturition, there is a significant decrease in the active form of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in the liver of the newborn rats.
2 6337485 The mediator activated pyruvate dehydrogenase by activating the pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase and not by inhibiting the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase.
3 6331393 The total activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex in rat hind-limb muscle mitochondria was 76.4 units/g of mitochondrial protein.
4 8428713 In addition, experiments with adipocytes isolated from diabetic rats treated with etomoxir demonstrated an increase in sensitivity and responsiveness to insulin of glucose utilization and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity.
5 10607479 Measurements have been made, in adult male diabetic patients and control subjects, of the urinary content of inositol phosphoglycans (IPGs), the IPG A-type and IPG P-type forms, which, among other actions, regulate pathways of glucose utilization, lipogenesis, triglyceride formation, and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity.
6 10607479 In vitro studies of the effects of alterations in the IPG P-type:IPG A-type ratio on the activation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDH complex) at the PDH phosphatase reaction demonstrated that IPG A-type forms antagonized the stimulation of the PDH phosphatase by IPG P-type forms, thus having a negative effect on the conversion of PDH to the active, dephosphorylated, form.
7 17438370 The factors contributing to defects in fatty acid metabolism are not understood but new data demonstrates that increased TNFalpha in obesity increases protein phosphatase 2C (PP2C), which in turn suppresses the activity of AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a critical regulator of energy metabolism.(1) These data identify a novel mechanism by which inflammation in obesity is a precursor to defects in skeletal muscle fatty acid oxidation that generates a vicious cycle exacerbating the development of insulin resistance.
8 20484462 In INS-1 cells, PRL increased PDH activity 1.4- to 2-fold (P < 0.05-0.001) at glucose concentrations ranging from 2.5-11 mm.
9 20484462 DEX reduced PDH activity; this effect was reversed by PRL.
10 20484462 Our findings suggest that PRL induction of GSIS is mediated by increases in beta-cell PDH activity; this is facilitated by suppression of PDKs.
11 20484462 PRL counteracts the effects of DEX on PDH and PDK expression, suggesting novel roles for the lactogens in the defense against diabetes.
12 12765946 This study examined whether altered pyruvate dehydrogenase phosphatase (PDP) expression also contributes to changes in the phosphorylation state of PDC during starvation and diabetes.
