Unchanged Glycolytic Capacity in Rat Kidney under Conditions of Stimulated Gluconeogenesis. Determination of Phosphofructokinase and Pyruvate Kinase in Microdissected Nephron Segments of Fasted and Acidotic Animals

Abstract: The glycolytic capacity in rat kidney was studied under conditions of stimulated gluconeogenesis like 48 h starvation and 48 h acidosis induced by force-feeding with a NH4Cl/glucose solution. Rats fed ad libitum and force-fed with a glucose solution served as controls. The specific activities of the key enzymes phosphofructokinase and pyruvate kinase were determined in single segments of the nephron. The determinations were performed by microdissection of lyophilized tissue sections followed by enzymatic analy… Show more

“…The transporting epithelia along the nephron [31] meet their high energy demand by mitochondrial oxidative metabolism [32]. However, the CD cells [33] which contain less mitochondria than cells of proximal and distal tubules [24] are more restricted to anaerobic glycolysis [30,34]. Glucose is transported from the peritubular capillaries into the cells, but glucosyl residues are also derived from cellular glycogen [30,35].…”

“…Moreover, in this region, fatty acid oxidation probably plays a major role due to very low activity of glycolysis, in contrast to the collecting duct where the glycolytic enzymes reach maximal activity and fatty acids represent a minor fuel (Schmid et al 1980;Le Hir and Dubach 1982). Interestingly, the capacity for peroxisomal beta-oxidation of fatty acids is very low in the distal tubules, but significantly high in both the proximal convoluted and straight tubules (Le Hir and Dubach 1982).…”

“…and glucose-6-phosphatase (Burch et al, 1978) are limited to the proximal tubule cells, and glycolytic enzymes, such as hexokinase (Lawrence et al, 1986;Schmidt et al, 1975). phosphofructokinase (Schmid et al, 1980). and pyruvate kinase (Schmid et al, 1980).…”
