The proportion of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) complex in the active dephosphorylated form was decreased (compared with fed lean control mice) in heart muscle mitochondria after the induction of obesity with gold-thioglucose (by 54%) or starvation of lean mice for 48 h (by 81%). The effects of obesity to inactivate PDH complex were demonstrable 4 weeks after administration of gold-thioglucose, and occurred despite significant hyperinsulinaemia in obese animals. Phosphorylation and inactivation of PDH complex in mouse heart muscle in starvation was attributed to a stable increase (2.7-fold) in the activity of PDH kinase as measured in extracts of mitochondria mediated by increased specific activity of a protein activator of PDH kinase (KAP) [Denyer, Kerbey & Randle (1986) Biochem. J. 239, 347-354]. In obese mice no such increase in kinase activity was observed, and we conclude that phosphorylation and inactivation of PDH complex in heart muscle in obesity is not mediated by KAP, but rather is a consequence of increased lipid oxidation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
D011494 Protein Kinases A family of enzymes that catalyze the conversion of ATP and a protein to ADP and a phosphoprotein. Protein Kinase,Kinase, Protein,Kinases, Protein
D011768 Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex A multienzyme complex responsible for the formation of ACETYL COENZYME A from pyruvate. The enzyme components are PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE (LIPOAMIDE); dihydrolipoamide acetyltransferase; and LIPOAMIDE DEHYDROGENASE. Pyruvate dehydrogenase complex is subject to three types of control: inhibited by acetyl-CoA and NADH; influenced by the energy state of the cell; and inhibited when a specific serine residue in the pyruvate decarboxylase is phosphorylated by ATP. PYRUVATE DEHYDROGENASE (LIPOAMIDE)-PHOSPHATASE catalyzes reactivation of the complex.
