| Method |
“From marker enzyme activities and metabolite
contents in the unfractionated homogenate and in
the different fractions the mitochondrial and cytosolic
metabolite contents (nmol/mg protein) were calculated
by extrapolating the data to fractions of pure mitochondria
and pure cytosol according to Elbers et al.
[ref 5]. The subcellular metabolite contents were converted
into concentrations assuming a water content of 0.8 and 3.8 µl/mg protein in the mitochondrial and
cytosolic compartment, respectively, based on considerations
previously discussed by Soboll et al. [ref 1].” |
| Comments |
"Changes in the mitochondrial ATP/ADP ratios within the range of 0.1 and 0.8 were also found in perfused livers from fed and starved rats (Table 5). It is conceivable that the regulation of pyruvate metabolism in perfused liver is exerted by changes of mitochondrial ATP and ADP concentrations. [Researchers’] data are consistent with the regulatory requirements in the two different metabolic states: pyruvate oxidation in the fed state requires an active pyruvate dehydrogenase and low ATP/ADP ratios (see Table 5, expt F: 0.16), whereas gluconeogenesis in the starved state requires an activation of pyruvate carboxylase and an inactivation of pyruvate dehydrogenase favoured by high ATP/ADP ratios (see Table 5, expts H, H-D, H-L: 0.6-0.7)."
