[Pentosephosphate shunt enzymatic activity in the liver in its disordered innervation]. 1976

V M Aksenova

Partial denervation of the liver evoked the dissection of subphrenic vagus nerves and nerves of the hepatogastric duodenal ligament tissue stimulates synthesis of pentoses in the liver due to the oxidative mechanism and inhibits the process of unoxidative formation of pentoses. Three-four weeks after the operation one may observe a 72% increase in the activity of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase in the liver tissue and a 29 and 21% drop in the activity of transketolase and enzymes, respectively, participating in metabolism of ribose-5-phosphate. The content of soluble proteins in the liver with deneravation is unchanged. A correlation is observed between these changes and those in the content of nucleic acids, an opinion is confirmed on the autonomous character of the oxidative and unoxidative phases of the pentose cycle.
