Alterations of catalytic activities of the microsomal glucose-6-phosphatase system were examined following either ferrous iron- or halothane (CF3CHBrCl) and carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) free-radical-mediated peroxidation of the microsomal membrane. Enzyme assays were performed in native and solubilized microsomes using either glucose 6-phosphate or mannose 6-phosphate as substrate. Lipid peroxidation was assessed by the amounts of malondialdehyde equivalents formed. Regardless of whether the experiments were performed in the presence of NADPH/Fe3+, NADPH/CF3CHBrCl, or NADPH/CCl4, with the onset of lipid peroxidation, mannose-6-phosphatase activity of the native microsomes increased immediately, while further alterations in catalytic activities were only detectable when lipid peroxidation had passed characteristic threshold values: above 2 nmol malondialdehyde/mg microsomal protein, glucose-6-phosphatase activity of the native microsomes was lost, and at 10 nmol malondialdehyde/mg microsomal protein, glucose-6-phosphatase and mannose-6-phosphatase activity of the solubilized microsomes started to decline. It is concluded that the latter alterations are due to an irreversible damage of the phosphohydrolase active site of the glucose-6-phosphatase system, while the changes observed at earlier stages of microsomal lipid peroxidation may also reflect alterations of the transporter components of the glucose-6-phosphatase system. Virtually no changes in the catalytic activities of the glucose-6-phosphatase system occurred under anaerobic conditions, indicating that CF3CHCl and CCl3 radicals are without direct damaging effect on the glucose-6-phosphatase system. Further, maximum effects of carbon tetrachloride and halothane on lipid peroxidation and enzyme activities were observed at an oxygen partial pressure (PO2) of 2 mmHg, providing additional evidence for the crucial role of low PO2 in the hepatotoxicity of both haloalkanes.

Elevated glucagon concentrations have been reported in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D). A critical role for α cell-intrinsic mechanisms in regulating glucagon secretion was previously established through genetic manipulation of the glycolytic enzyme glucokinase (GCK) in mice. Genetic variation at the glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 2 () locus, encoding an enzyme that opposes GCK, has been reproducibly associated with fasting blood glucose and hemoglobin A1c.

Rice-fish farming is an ancient and enduring aquaculture model in China. This study aimed to assess the variations in digestive enzymes, antioxidant properties, glucose metabolism, and nutritional content between reared in paddy fields and ponds. Notably, the levels of amylase and trypsin in from rice paddies were considerably higher compared to those from ponds.

Glucose-6-phosphatase-β (G6PC3) is a ubiquitous phosphatase present in the endoplasmic reticulum, which, unlike G6PC1, is not responsible for maintaining blood glucose level under starvation. Recently, G6PC3 has been shown to play an important role in neutrophil granulocytes, eliminating the toxic metabolite 1,5-anhydroglucitol-6-phosphate. The present study aimed to look for alternative substrates for the enzyme and outline the expression changes in the parts of this multicomponent system during neutrophil granulocyte differentiation.

Introduction: In this study, we report a novel therapeutic approach redirecting antigen-specific CD4 T cells recognizing a hybrid insulin peptide (BDC2.5 T cell receptor (TCR) transgenic CD4 T cells) to attract and suppress islet-specific CD8 T cells T cells in the non-obese diabetic (NOD) mouse model, and prevent the development of autoimmune diabetes.
Methods: Purified BDC2.

Neuropeptides (NPs) and their cognate receptors are critical effectors of diverse physiological processes and behaviors. We recently reported of a noncanonical function of the () gene in a subset of neurosecretory cells in the central nervous system that governs systemic glucose homeostasis in food-deprived flies. Here, we show that expressing neurons define six groups of NP-secreting cells, four in the brain and two in the thoracic ganglion.
