Effects of aerobic training on pyruvate dehydrogenase and pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase in human skeletal muscle [PDF]
This study examined the effects of short‐ and long‐term aerobic training on the stable up‐regulation of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) and PDH kinase (PDK) in human skeletal muscle. We hypothesized that 8 weeks, but not 1 week, of aerobic training would increase total PDH (PDHt) and PDK activities compared to pretraining, and this would be detectable at ...

Evidence that pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase belongs to the ATPase/kinase superfamily [PDF]
In this study the roles of invariant Asn-247, Asp-282, Gly-284, Gly-286 and Gly-319 of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase were investigated by site-directed mutagenesis. Recombinant kinases, wild-type, Asn-247Ala, Asp-282Ala, Gly-284Ala, Gly-286Ala and Gly-319Ala, were expressed in bacteria, purified, and characterized. Three mutant kinases, Asn-247Ala, Asp-

Metabolism within the tumor microenvironment and its implication on cancer progression: an ongoing therapeutic target [PDF]
Since reprogramming energy metabolism is considered a new hallmark of cancer, tumor metabolism is again in the spotlight of cancer research. Many studies have been carried out and many possible therapies have been developed in the last years.

Effect of diet on linoleic acid desaturation and on some enzymes of carbohydrate metabolism
The effect of diet on the desaturation of linoleic acid to gamma-linolenic acid by liver microsomal preparations, on blood glucose and insulin levels, and on activities of glucokinase, hexokinase, pyruvate kinase, and alpha-glycerophosphate dehydrogenase

N 6 -methyladenosine regulates glycolysis of cancer cells through PDK4
Dysregulation of N6-Methyladenosine (m6A) is associated with cancer progression. Here, authors show that m6A methylation of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase 4 (PDK4) positively regulates its mRNA stability and translation, and consequently affects ...

Reversing tozasertib resistance in glioma through inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinases
Acquired resistance to conventional chemotherapeutic agents limits their effectiveness and can cause cancer treatment to fail. Because enzymes in the aurora kinase family are vital regulators of several mitotic events, we reasoned that targeting these ...

Stable isotope metabolomics of pulmonary artery smooth muscle and endothelial cells in pulmonary hypertension and with TGF-beta treatment. [PDF]
Altered metabolism in pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs) and endothelial cells (PAECs) contributes to the pathology of pulmonary hypertension (PH), but changes in substrate uptake and how substrates are utilized have not been fully ...
