The flux through branched-chain a-ketoacid dehydrogenase and the activity of the branched-chain a-ketoacid dehydrogenase complex were measured in hepatocytes isolated from fed, starved and alloxan diabetic rats. The highest rate of branched-chain a-ketoacid oxidation was found in hepatocytes isolate
Under normal conditions, glucose acutely influences pancreatic islet B, A and D cell secretion. In addition, prior exposure to glucose modulates the secretory responsiveness of these cells (priming effect). We have tested whether alloxan diabetes influences priming effects of glucose on A and D cell
Previous studies have shown that autoantibodies against insulin receptors found in certain patients with severe insulin resistance stimulate glucose transport and metabolism in fat cell and muscle preparations. The present studies show that preincubation of rat epididymal adipose tissue with 1 : 100
