-Glutamine supplementation promotes an improved energetic balance in Walker-256 tumor–bearing rats
We evaluated the effects of supplementation with oral l -glutamine in Walker-256 tumor–bearing rats. A total of 32 male Wistar rats aged 54 days were randomly divided into four groups: rats without Walker-256 tumor, that is, control rats (C group ...

Mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK-M) and serine biosynthetic pathway genes are co-ordinately increased during anabolic agent-induced skeletal muscle growth [PDF]
We aimed to identify novel molecular mechanisms for muscle growth during administration of anabolic agents. Growing pigs (Duroc/(Landrace/Large-White)) were administered Ractopamine (a beta-adrenergic agonist; BA; 20ppm in feed) or Reporcin (recombinant ...

Towards an integrative model of C4 photosynthetic subtypes: insights from comparative transcriptome analysis of NAD-ME, NADP-ME, and PEP-CK C-4 species [PDF]
C4 photosynthesis affords higher photosynthetic carbon conversion efficiency than C3 photosynthesis and it therefore represents an attractive target for engineering efforts aiming to improve crop productivity.

Function of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in mammary gland epithelial cells[S]
Previously, we have shown that Pck1 expression in mammary gland adipocytes and white adipose tissue maintains triglyceride stores through glyceroneogenesis, and these lipids were used for synthesis of milk triglycerides during lactation.

Exploring biochemical and functional features of Leishmania major phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase [PDF]
This work reports the first functional characterization of leishmanial PEPCK. The recombinant Leishmania major enzyme (Lmj-PEPCK) exhibits equivalent kcat values for the phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) and oxaloacetate (OAA) forming reactions.

Phylogenetic Study of the Evolution of PEP-Carboxykinase [PDF]
Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PCK) is the key enzyme to initiate the gluconeogenic pathway in vertebrates, yeast, plants and most bacteria. Nucleotide specificity divided all PCKs into two groups.

Stanniocalcin 1 effects on the renal gluconeogenesis pathway in rat and fish [PDF]
The mammalian kidney contributes significantly to glucose homeostasis through gluconeogenesis. Considering that stanniocalcin 1 (STC1) regulates ATP production, is synthesized and acts in different cell types of the nephron, the present study ...
