Pyruvate dehydrogenase activities during the fed-to-starved transition and on re-feeding after acute or prolonged starvation
pWe investigated the temporal relationship between hepatic glycogen depletion and cardiac and hepatic PDH (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) activities during the acute phase of starvation. There was a striking correlation between the decline in hepatic glycogen and PDH inactivation during the first 10 h of starvation. Re-feeding after 6 h starvation was associated with complete re-activation of PDH in liver and re-activation to approx. 75% of the fed value in heart, whereas in rats previously starved for 24-48 h re-activation was delayed in liver and diminished in heart. The results are discussed with reference to the fate of dietary carbohydrate after re-feeding./p
