Biochemical studies in liver, muscle, and cultured fibroblasts were carried out in seven patients with Friedreich ataxia. Lowered activity of pyruvate carboxylase was shown in liver and cultured fibroblasts in all instances.
A technique to measure the activity of pyruvate carboxylase spectrophotometritally in crude liver homogenates is described. The assay is based on the transformation of oxaloacetate, which is formed during the carboxylation reaction, into citrate in the presence ofexcess acetyl CoA and citrate syntha
The arylhydrocarbon receptor (AhR) plays a central role in mediating 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzo-p-dioxin (TCDD) toxicity in animals. The investigations described here provide evidence that support a role for the AhR in TCDD-mediated pyruvate carboxylase (PC) level/activity reductions in mice. Pyruva
Hepatic pyruvate kinase phosphatase activity has been assayed in native conditions, in Sephadex G-25 filtered extracts of rat hepatocytes, by measuring the reactivation rate of glucagon-inactivated pyruvate kinase-L. The ionic requirements for this reaction, as well as the possible regulatory role o
