Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinases: Therapeutic Targets for Diabetes and Cancers [PDF]
Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2015 Impaired glucose homeostasis is one of the risk factors for causing metabolic diseases including obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cancers. In glucose metabolism, pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) mediates a major regulatory step, an irreversible reaction

Transcriptional Regulation of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase [PDF]
Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2012 The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) activity is crucial to maintains blood glucose and ATP levels, which largely depends on the phosphorylation status by pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase (PDK) isoenzymes.

The Role of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase in Diabetes and Obesity [PDF]
Diabetes & Metabolism Journal, 2014 The pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDC) is an emerging target for the treatment of metabolic syndrome. To maintain a steady-state concentration of adenosine triphosphate during the feed-fast cycle, cells require efficient utilization of fatty acid and ...

Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase 1 inhibition mediated oxidative phosphorylation enhancement in cartilage promotes osteoarthritis progression [PDF]
BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders, 2023 Osteoarthritis (OA) is a common disease characterized by cartilage degradation. Growing evidence showed that glucose metabolism impacts joint homeostasis and an imbalance between glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation (OXPHOS) may exacerbate OA ...

Monovalent Cation Activation of Plant Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Kinase [PDF]
Plant Physiology, 1993 The pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase-catalyzed inactivation of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was studied using dialyzed, soluble proteins from mitochondria purified from green leaf tissue of Pisum sativum L. seedlings. At subsaturating ATP concentrations, K+ or NH4+, but not Na+, stimulated the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase by lowering the Km(ATP ...

The pivotal role of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases in metabolic flexibility [PDF]
Nutrition & Metabolism, 2014 Metabolic flexibility is the capacity of a system to adjust fuel (primarily glucose and fatty acids) oxidation based on nutrient availability. The ability to alter substrate oxidation in response to nutritional state depends on the genetically influenced balance between oxidation and storage capacities.
