In isolated rat hepatocytes, the short-term regulation of the M(2) pyruvate kinase
isozyme by insulin is demonstrated. This hormone dependence, which is a function of dose
and incubation time, is checked by the activity of the pyruvate kinase, using enzyme assay,
cellulose acetate electrophoresis and electroimmunodiffusion methods.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
