Abstract
Protons dissociated from organic acids in cells are partly buffered. If not, they are transported to the extracellular fluid through the plasma membrane and buffered in circulation or excreted in urine and expiration gas. Several transporters including monocarboxylate transporters and Na(+)/H(+) exchanger play an important role in uptake and output of protons across plasma membranes in cells of metabolic tissues including skeletal muscle and the liver. They also contribute to maintenance of the physiological pH of body fluid. Therefore, impairment of these transporters causes dysfunction of cells, diseases, and a decrease in physical performance associated with abnormal pH. Additionally, it is known that fluid pH in the interstitial space of metabolic tissues is easily changed due to little pH buffering capacitance in interstitial fluids and a reduction in the interstitial fluid pH may mediate the onset of insulin resistance unlike blood containing pH buffers such as Hb (hemoglobin) and albumin. In contrast, habitual exercise and dietary intervention regulate expression/activity of transporters and maintain body fluid pH, which could partly explain the positive effect of healthy lifestyle on disease prognosis.

Abstract
The ubiquitous isoform of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (uPFK-2), a product of the Pfkfb3 gene, plays a crucial role in the control of glycolytic flux. In this study, we demonstrate that Pfkfb3 gene expression is increased in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse liver. The Pfkfb3/-3566 promoter construct linked to the luciferase reporter gene was delivered to the liver via hydrodynamic gene transfer. This promoter was upregulated in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse liver compared with transfected healthy cohorts. In addition, increases were observed in Pfkfb3 mRNA and uPFK-2 protein levels, and intrahepatic fructose-2,6-bisphosphate concentration. During streptozotocin-induced diabetes, phosphorylation of both p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and Akt was detected, together with the overexpression of the proliferative markers cyclin D and E2F. These findings indicate that uPFK-2 induction is coupled to enhanced hepatocyte proliferation in streptozotocin-induced diabetic mouse liver. Expression decreased when hepatocytes were treated with either rapamycin or LY 294002. This shows that uPFK-2 regulation is phosphoinositide 3-kinase-Akt-mammalian target of rapamycin dependent. These results indicate that fructose-2,6-bisphosphate is essential to the maintenance of the glycolytic flux necessary for providing energy and biosynthetic precursors to dividing cells.

Abstract
Although the influence of diabetes on salivary glands is well studied, it still presents conflicting results. In this work, the regulation of the phosphofructokinase-1 enzyme (PFK-1) was studied utilizing the salivary glands of rats. Diabetes was induced by a single intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (60 mg/Kg of body weight) in rats (180-200 g). The animals were killed 30 days after the induction of diabetes and the submandibular and parotid salivary glands were used. Hyperglycemia was evaluated by blood sugar determination. The distribution of PFK-1 between the soluble and cytoskeleton fractions, the phosphate content of PFK-1, the content of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate and the activity of the PFK-2 enzyme were determined. The calculated relative glandular weight showed a higher value for the parotid gland in comparison with the control, but not for the submandibular gland. The activity of PFK-1 expressed per gland showed no variation between diabetic and control animals. However, considering the specific activity, the soluble enzyme presented a value 50% higher than that of the control and the cytoskeleton bound form increased by 84% compared to the control. For the parotid gland, no difference in the specific activity between diabetic and control animals was observed. On the other hand, the activity per gland of the soluble enzyme increased in the diabetic animals. The phosphate content of PFK-1 increased in the submandibular and parotid glands of diabetic rats. Both the content of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate and the active form of PFK-2 were reduced in the diabetic glands. In conclusion, the increase in the activity of PFK-1 observed in the salivary glands of rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes does not seem to be due to its modulator fructose-2,6-bisphosphate.

Abstract
Rates of cycling between glucose and glucose 6-phosphate and between glucose and pyruvate, and the effects of these cycles on glucose metabolism, were compared in hepatocytes isolated from fasted normal or streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. In diabetic hepatocytes the rate of glucose phosphorylation was 30% lower than that in normal hepatocytes, and there was a doubling of the rate of glucose/glucose 6-phosphate cycling. In addition, the rate of glycolysis was 60% lower in diabetic hepatocytes. This inhibition of glycolysis and stimulation of glucose/glucose 6-phosphate cycling appeared to be a consequence of the elevated rates of endogenous fatty acid oxidation observed in diabetic hepatocytes. The proportion of glycolytically derived pyruvate that was recycled to glucose was more than doubled in hepatocytes from diabetic rats compared with normal animals. This increase also appeared to be linked to the high rates of endogenous fatty acid oxidation in diabetic cells. As a consequence of the increased rates of both these cycles, 85% of all glucose molecules taken up by diabetic hepatocytes were recycled to glucose, compared with only 50% in normal hepatocytes. Glucose cycling is therefore likely to make a substantial contribution to the hyperglycemia of diabetes.

Abstract
Vanadate and insulin were administered to diabetic (streptozotocin) rats to compare their effects on the activity and mRNA content of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and L-type pyruvate kinase in the liver. The activity of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase in livers of diabetic rats was about 40% of that found in normal rats. A similar decrease was found for 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase content, measured by immunoprecipitation, and for mRNA, measured by hybridization of Northern blots. Administration of vanadate to the diabetic rats led to a progressive recovery of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity, and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose- 2,6-bisphosphatase content and mRNA. This recovery, which was complete after 15 days of oral treatment, was also obtained after 60 h of insulin administration. L-type pyruvate kinase activity and mRNA were also decreased by about 70% in livers of diabetic rats. Both parameters normalized after 15 days of vanadate treatment, whereas insulin administration (60 h) raised L-pyruvate kinase mRNA three-fold above control values. Oral treatment for 15 days with vanadate can thus mimic the effect of insulin on both pyruvate kinase and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6- bisphosphatase in livers of diabetic rats.

Abstract
Changes in the activities of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK, EC 2.7.1.11) in the placenta and jejunal mucosa of pregnant rats during the onset of experimental diabetes induced by streptozotocin were investigated. The concentrations of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate were significantly decreased in the placenta and small intestine of the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The total activities and the activity ratios (activity at 0.5 mM fructose 6-phosphate at pH 7.0/activity at pH 8.0 (v0.5/V] of placental and jejunal PFK of diabetic pregnant and virgin rats were markedly diminished as compared to normal control rats. Also the susceptibility of jejunal and placental PFK to inhibition by ATP was increased in the diabetic virgin and pregnant rats. Administration of insulin in vivo completely reversed the effects of diabetes on the regulatory properties and on the total activities of placental and jejunal PFK. It is suggested that the diminished activity of PFK in the placenta and small intestine of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats could be the result of the decreased concentrations of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate as well as the effect of insulin on the activity of PFK.

Abstract
Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate has been studied during hypoglycemia induced by insulin administration (40 IU/kg). No changes in content of cerebral fructose 2,6-bisphosphate were found in mild hypoglycemia, but the level of this compound was markedly decreased in hypoglycemic coma and recovered after 30 min of glucose administration. To correlate a possible modification of the concentration of the metabolite with selective regional damage occurring during hypoglycemic coma, we have analyzed four cerebral areas (cortex, striatum, cerebellum, and hippocampus). Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate concentrations were similar in the four areas analyzed; severe hypoglycemia decreased levels of the metabolite to the same extent in all the brain areas studied. The decrease in content of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate was not always accompanied by a parallel decrease in ATP levels, a result suggesting that the low levels of the bisphosphorylated metabolite during hypoglycemic coma could be due to the decreased 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity, mainly as a consequence of the fall in concentration of its substrate (fructose 6-phosphate). These results suggest that fructose 2,6-bisphosphate could play a permissive role in cerebral tissue, maintaining activation of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase and glycolysis.

Abstract
1. Phosphofructokinase from rat kidney cortex has been purified by affinity chromatography to a final specific activity of 15 units per mg of protein, measured at 25 degrees C and pH 8. 2. This lower spec. act., compared with that of the enzyme from other sources, shows the enzyme in proximal tubules to be less active, which would account for the main gluconeogenic role of these nephron sections. 3. The binding of fructose-6-phosphate to the enzyme is co-operative. ATP increases the Hill coefficient and produces a marked allosteric inhibition on the activity. 4. Fructose-2,6-bis-phosphate is a potent activator of the enzyme from this source. It reduces the Hill coefficient of the enzyme and the inhibition constant of ATP. A marked difference between this and the liver enzyme is that the activation is not co-operative.

Abstract
The presence of vanadate in primary cultures of rat hepatocytes produced a significant increase in the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and in the activity of 6-phosphofructo 2-kinase. Compared with insulin, vanadate had a more potent action on the metabolite increase, but a similar effect on the 6-phosphofructo 2-kinase activity. Both the insulin- and the vanadate-dependent enhancements of 6-phosphofructo 2-kinase were inhibited by cycloheximide which specifically blocks protein synthesis on the translational level, suggesting that the increase of the enzyme activity was due to induction rather than to a change in the catalytic activity.

Abstract
Increased hepatic glucose production is responsible for fasting hyperglycemia in type II diabetes. Insulin resistance is the key in this process because of the inability of insulin to suppress hepatic glucose production, thereby allowing an unopposed glucagon effect. Glyburide, one of the second-generation sulfonylureas, decreases glucose production and enhances insulin action in the liver. Available data suggest that glyburide: (1) enhances glycogen synthesis in the liver by increasing glycogen synthase; (2) inhibits glycogenolysis by decreasing phosphorylase alpha activity; and (3) decreases gluconeogenesis and stimulates glycolysis by decreasing A-kinase activity, which results in increased fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, one of the key regulators of carbohydrate metabolism in the liver. The effect of glyburide on the insulin-signaling mechanism(s) is distal to the insulin binding site of the alpha-subunit of the insulin receptor and the tyrosine kinase activation site of the beta-subunit.

Abstract
The incubation of isolated rat hepatocytes with vanadate increased the concentration of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate without modifying 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase activity. Vanadate also reverted and prevented the decrease of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate levels, of the "active" form of the 6-phosphofructo 2-kinase and of the pyruvate kinase activity ratio produced by glucagon, by probably counteracting the increase in cyclic AMP concentration.

Abstract
Activation of glycolysis by insulin in cultured adult rat hepatocytes is accompanied by an activation of phosphofructokinase 2 (PFK 2). PFK 2 activation might be caused by insulin-dependent changes of (a) metabolite levels, (b) basal and (c) Br8cAMP-stimulated cAMP-dependent protein kinase activity; this problem was investigated. 1. Cells cultured with 0.1 nM insulin for 48 h exhibited a low glycolytic rate and low fructose 2,6-bisphosphate [Fru(2,6)P2] levels. Addition of insulin increased Fru(2,6)P2 and Fru(1,6)P2 levels sequentially which points to PFK 2 as first target enzyme of insulin action. 2. Concentrations of Glc6P, Fru6P, phosphoenolpyruvate, glycerol 3-phosphate and citrate, which modulate PFK 2/fructose 2,6-bisphosphatase 2 activity, were not altered by insulin. 3. Activation of PFK 2 by insulin occurred without changes in the levels of total and protein-bound cAMP. Bound cAMP amounted to about 14% of total cAMP. 4. Insulin neither decreased the basal dissociation state of the cAMP-dependent protein kinase nor lowered the sensitivity of the kinase towards cAMP in cell extracts. 5. Addition of the phosphodiesterase-resistant Br8cAMP to the cultures increased cAMP levels 3-4-fold, elevated the protein kinase activity ratio from 0.14 to 0.6 and decreased the Fru(2,6)P2 level and the rate of glycolysis. When Br8cAMP and insulin were given together, insulin was capable of counteracting Br8cAMP in that it activated glycolysis and PFK 2 and elevated the Fru(2,6)P2 level; however, it did not decrease the elevated protein kinase activity ratio. It is concluded that insulin presumably does not activate PFK 2 through changes in cAMP and effector levels or through inhibition of cAMP-dependent protein kinase dissociation. The data support the hypothesis that insulin may act via activation of PFK 2 phosphatase.

Abstract
In rat liver, the activity of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase (PFK-2) decreases upon starvation and in diabetes. Cyclic AMP-dependent phosphorylation of the enzyme is not sufficient to account for this decrease. PFK-2 content was therefore measured by immunotitration and relative PFK-2 mRNA levels were determined by hybridization with cDNA probes. The data are compatible with a posttranscriptional mechanism of regulation that involves decreased translational efficiency of PFK-2 mRNA and (or) increased turnover of the PFK-2 protein.

Abstract
The level of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate and the maximal activities of key gluconeogenic and glycolytic enzymes were determined in the liver of a rat model of chronic uremia and in ad libitum-fed control and pair-fed control animals. Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate was decreased in uremia and its level negatively correlated with the concentration of blood urea nitrogen. The changes in gluconeogenic enzymes in uremic rats were not different from those in the pair-fed controls. However, pyruvate kinase was decreased in uremia when compared to both controls. These studies offer a possible mechanism for the role of the liver in the carbohydrate intolerance of uremia.

Abstract
2,3-Bisphosphoglycerate, glucose 1,6-P2 and fructose 2,6-P2 have been recognized as regulatory signals implicated in the control of metabolism, oxygen affinity of red cells and other cellular functions. The alterations of their metabolism constitute a novel area in molecular pathology. The concentration of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate in erythrocytes changes in a number of pathological conditions. An inherited deficiency of the multifunctional enzyme involved in the synthesis and breakdown of 2,3-bisphosphoglycerate in erythrocytes has been reported. The levels of glucose 1,6-P2 are reduced in the liver and in the muscle of rats with experimentally induced diabetes. In muscle of genetically dystrophic mice a decrease in the levels of glucose 1,6-P2 has been found, probably resulting from enhancement of glucose 1,6-P2 phosphatase activity. Fructose 2,6-P2 levels are decreased in the liver of experimental diabetic mice and rats, and elevated in the liver of genetically obese animals.

Abstract
The effects of tolbutamide on the activities of fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase and fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase were examined using rat hepatocytes. Tolbutamide stimulated fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase activity and inhibited fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase activity, resulting in an increase of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate level. Changes in the activities of the enzyme by tolbutamide were due to variation in the Km value, but not dependent on alteration of Vmax. Glucagon inhibition of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate formation resulting from an inactivation of fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase and an activation of fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase was released by tolbutamide. Tolbutamide stimulation of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate formation through regulation of fructose-6-phosphate,2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase may produce enhancement of glycolysis and inhibition of gluconeogenesis in the liver.
