Glucose addition and subsequent run-out experiments were compared to simulations with a detailed glycolytic model of Lactococcus lactis. The model was constructed largely on bases of enzyme kinetic data taken from literature and not adjusted for the specific simulations shown here. Upon glucose depletion a rapid increase in PEP, inorganic phosphate and a gradual decrease in fructose 1,6-bisphosphate (FBP) were measured and predicted by simulation. The dynamic changes in these and other intermediate concentrations as measured in the experiments were well predicted by the kinetic model.

Background: Chronic arterial hypertension restructures the vascular architecture of the brain, leading to a series of pathological responses that culminate in cerebral small-vessel disease. Pericytes respond dynamically to vascular challenges; however, how they manifest under the continuous strain of hypertension has not been elucidated.
Methods And Results: In this study, we characterized pericyte behavior alongside hypertensive states in the spontaneously hypertensive stroke-prone rat model, focusing on their phenotypic and metabolic transformation.

The enzyme 6-phosphofructokinase-1 (PFK1) acts as the primary rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, catalyzing the conversion of fructose-6-phosphate to fructose-1,6-bisphosphate. This glycolytic process provides essential substrates for the synthesis of sex pheromones. However, the specific function of PFK1 in sex pheromone biosynthesis remains unidentified.

Acute lung injury (ALI)/acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) is a severe respiratory condition associated with elevated morbidity and mortality. Understanding their complex pathophysiological mechanisms is crucial for developing new preventive and therapeutic strategies. Recent studies highlight the significant role of inflammation involved in ALI/ARDS, particularly the hyperactivation of the NOD-like receptor thermal protein domain-associated protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome in macrophages.

Bioenergetic pathways uniquely support sarcomere function which, in turn, helps to maintain functional skeletal muscle (SKM) mass. Emerging evidence supports alcohol (EtOH)-induced bioenergetic impairments in SKM and muscle precursor cells. We performed a scoping review to synthesize existing evidence regarding the effects of EtOH on SKM bioenergetics.

Pyruvate serves as a key metabolite in energy production and as an anti-oxidant. In our previous study, exogenous pyruvate starvation under high-glucose conditions induced IMS32 Schwann cell death because of the reduced glycolysis-tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle flux and adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production. Thus, this study focused on poly-(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) to investigate the detailed molecular mechanism of cell death.
