Abstract
Humans have developed effective survival mechanisms under conditions of nutrient (and energy) scarcity. Nevertheless, today, most humans face a quite different situation: excess of nutrients, especially those high in amino-nitrogen and energy (largely fat). The lack of mechanisms to prevent energy overload and the effective persistence of the mechanisms hoarding key nutrients such as amino acids has resulted in deep disorders of substrate handling. There is too often a massive untreatable accumulation of body fat in the presence of severe metabolic disorders of energy utilization and disposal, which become chronic and go much beyond the most obvious problems: diabetes, circulatory, renal and nervous disorders included loosely within the metabolic syndrome. We lack basic knowledge on diet nutrient dynamics at the tissue-cell metabolism level, and this adds to widely used medical procedures lacking sufficient scientific support, with limited or nil success. In the present longitudinal analysis of the fate of dietary nutrients, we have focused on glucose as an example of a largely unknown entity. Even most studies on hyper-energetic diets or their later consequences tend to ignore the critical role of carbohydrate (and nitrogen disposal) as (probably) the two main factors affecting the substrate partition and metabolism.

Abstract
The importance of metabolic pathways for life and the nature of participating reactions have challenged physiologists and biochemists for over a hundred years. Eric Arthur Newsholme contributed many original hypotheses and concepts to the field of metabolic regulation, demonstrating that metabolic pathways have a fundamental thermodynamic structure and that near identical regulatory mechanisms exist in multiple species across the animal kingdom. His work at Oxford University from the 1970s to 1990s was groundbreaking and led to better understanding of development and demise across the lifespan as well as the basis of metabolic disruption responsible for the development of obesity, diabetes and many other conditions. In the present review we describe some of the original work of Eric Newsholme, its relevance to metabolic homoeostasis and disease and application to present state-of-the-art studies, which generate substantial amounts of data that are extremely difficult to interpret without a fundamental understanding of regulatory principles. Eric's work is a classical example of how one can unravel very complex problems by considering regulation from a cell, tissue and whole body perspective, thus bringing together metabolic biochemistry, physiology and pathophysiology, opening new avenues that now drive discovery decades thereafter.

Abstract
It was recently shown that, in progressively depolarizing mitochondria, the F(0) -F(1) ATP synthase and the adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) may change directionality independently from each other (Chinopoulos et al. [2010] FASEB J. 24:2405). When the membrane potentials at which these two molecular entities reverse directionality, termed reversal potential (Erev), are plotted as a function of matrix ATP/ADP ratio, an area of the plot is bracketed by the Erev_ATPase and the Erev_ANT, which we call "B space". Both reversal potentials are dynamic, in that they depend on the fluctuating values of the participating reactants; however, Erev_ATPase is almost always more negative than Erev_ANT. Here we review the conditions that define the boundaries of the "B space". Emphasis is placed on the role of matrix substrate-level phosphorylation, because during metabolic compromise this mechanism could maintain mitochondrial membrane potential and prevent the influx of cytosolic ATP destined for hydrolysis by the reversed F(0) -F(1) ATP synthase.

Abstract
A computational model for the ATP-ADP steady-state exchange rate mediated by adenine nucleotide translocase (ANT) versus mitochondrial membrane potential dependence in isolated rat liver mitochondria is presented. The model represents the system of three ordinary differential equations, and the basic components included are ANT, F(0)/F(1)-ATPase, and the phosphate carrier. The model reproduces quantitatively the relationship between mitochondrial membrane potential and the ATP-ADP steady-state exchange rate mediated by the ANT operating in the forward mode, with the assumption that the phosphate carrier functions under rapid equilibrium. Furthermore, the model can simulate the kinetics of experimentally measured data on mitochondrial membrane potential titrated by an uncoupler. Verified predictions imply that the ADP influx rate is highly dependent on the mitochondrial membrane potential, and in the 0-100 mV range it is close to zero, owing to extremely low matrix ATP values. In addition to providing theoretical values of free matrix ATP and ADP, the model explains the diminished ADP-ATP exchange rate in the presence of nigericin, a condition in which there is hyperpolarization of the inner mitochondrial membrane at the expense of the mitochondrial Delta pH gradient; the latter parameter influences matrix inorganic phosphate and ATP concentrations in a manner also described.

Abstract
Facultative metabolic rate depression is the common adaptive strategy underlying various animal mechanisms for surviving harsh environmental conditions. This strategy is common among molluscs, enabling animals to survive over days or even months in the absence of oxygen or under extremely dry conditions. The large reductions in metabolic rate during estivation and anoxia can translate into considerable energy savings when dormant animals are compared to active animals. A complex metabolic coordination is required during the transition into the dormant state to maintain cellular homeostasis and involves both energy-consuming and energy-producing pathways. With regard to energy-producing pathways, several different mechanisms have been identified that participate in controlling flux. One such mechanism, enzyme phosphorylation, can have a wide-ranging effect. For example, phosphorylated enzymes exhibit altered substrate, activator, and inhibitor affinities. This effect may be magnified by changes in the concentrations of allosteric effectors, such as fructose 2,6-bisphosphate, that occur during hypometabolic states. Changes in fructose 2,6-bisphosphate are related to changes in enzyme phosphorylation through changes in the relative activity of phosphofructokinase-2. Alterations in glycolytic enzyme binding can also be brought about through changes in enzyme phosphorylation. The present review focuses on identifying hypometabolism-related changes in enzyme phosphorylation as well as characterizing the mechanisms involved in mediating these phosphorylation events.

Abstract
The experimental and clinical data on different aspects of vitamin and hormone relationships have been summarized in the form of a general concept of the noncoenzymatic thiamine effect, on the basis of a number of premises: (1) discovery of tissue factors limiting the manifestation of the specific activity of administered thiamine (the presence of a tissue buffer depot of easily accessible coenzymes, and lack of free apoenzymes); (2) evidence of a thiamine effect on the pancreatic insulin-synthesizing function; (3) stimulation of metabolic thiamine effects, including the effects of insulin administration on thiamine-dependent enzymes; (4) determination of the features of hormonal control of thiamine metabolism in the body; (5) confirmation of the predictive force of the concept by clinical trials of the new strategy of thiamine therapy.

Abstract
Fatty acids produced a stimulation of gluconeogenesis and either inhibition or no effect on ureagenesis in livers perfused with gluconeogenic substrates and having NH4Cl plus ornithine as the nitrogen source. This finding indicates that stimulation of flux through pyruvate carboxylase is not sufficient to enhance urea production from ammonia. The metabolic action of fatty acids showed the following characteristics: (1) it was concentration-dependent, showing saturation-type kinetics similar to those described for fatty acid oxidation; (2) the stimulatory action on gluconeogenesis was constant and independent of NH4Cl concentration, whereas the inhibition of ureagenesis was variable and dependent on NH4Cl concentration and the degree of reduction of the gluconeogenic substrate; and (3) fatty acids produced apparent reciprocal changes in the state of reduction of the cytosolic and mitochondrial NAD systems. Fatty acid oxidation exerted its effect mainly, if not exclusively, by preventing the gluconeogenic substrate-induced stimulation of ureagenesis. Fatty acids also inhibited ureagenesis without stimulating gluconeogenesis (lactate < 1 mmol/L), ruling out a limiting energy availability as the cause of the inhibition. One or both of the following two mechanisms seem to account for the fatty acid-induced inhibition of ureagenesis from NH4Cl. First, a decreased uptake of ornithine, and second, decreased flux through pyruvate dehydrogenase and probably other NAD(P)-linked mitochondrial dehydrogenases. The correlation found between the ability of fatty acids to inhibit ureagenesis and the state of activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase supports the latter point.

Abstract
Stimulation of ureogenesis by ornithine and/or NH4Cl inhibited gluconeogenesis from lactate but not from equimolar concentrations of pyruvate in perfused rat liver. Neither a shortage of energy nor a decrease in alpha-ketoglutarate availability seems to be responsible for this inhibition. With lactate as substrate the extracellular concentration of pyruvate attained was approximately equal to 0.15 mM that assuming reflects its cytosolic concentration it would be limiting for its mitochondrial transport. Stimulation of ureogenesis from NH4Cl enhances flux through pyruvate dehydrogenase. Furthermore, activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase by dichloroacetate led to stimulation of ureogenesis and inhibition of glucose production. Conversely, inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase flux by fatty acid enhanced glucose production and inhibited ureogenesis. Thus, ornithine and/or NH4Cl seem to inhibit lactate to glucose flux by shifting the mitochondrial partitioning of pyruvate from carboxylation towards decarboxylation with the result of a decreased oxaloacetate formation. Gluconeogenic substrates enhanced the hepatic uptake of ornithine. However, no correlation seems to exist between the uptake of ornithine, ornithine-induced stimulation of ureogenesis and total rates of urea production. Ornithine produced a concentration-dependent acidification of the hepatic outflow perfusate, suggesting that it may be transported in exchange for H+.

Abstract
The relation between the activation (phosphorylation) state of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC; EC 1.2.4.1, EC 2.3.1.12, and EC 1.6.4.3) and the rate of pyruvate oxidation has been examined in isolated, metabolically active, and tightly coupled mitochondria from rat cerebral cortex. With pyruvate and malate as the substrates, the activation state of PDHC decreased on addition of ADP, while the rates of oxygen uptake and 14CO2 formation from [1-14C]pyruvate increased. The lack of correlation between the activation state of PDHC and rate of pyruvate oxidation was seen in media containing 5, 30, or 100 mM KCl. Both the activation state of PDHC and pyruvate oxidation increased, however, when KCl was increased from 5 to 100 mM. Although the PDHC is inactivated by an ATP-dependent kinase (EC 2.7.1.99), direct measurement of ATP and ADP failed to show a consistent relationship between the activation state of PDHC and either ATP levels or ATP/ADP ratios. Comparison of the activation state of PDHC in uncoupled or oligomycin-treated mitochondria also failed to correlate PDHC activation state to adenine nucleotides. In brain mitochondria, unlike those from other tissues, the activation state of PDHC does not seem to be related clearly to the rate of pyruvate oxidation, or to the mitochondrial adenylate energy charge.

Abstract
Chronic metabolic acidosis was induced in dogs by HCl. Pyruvate and lactate production and extractions were studied by arteriovenous sampling and electromagnetic flow probe measurements of gut and hepatic blood flows. The following results were obtained: (1) In control, overnight-fasted dogs, no net lactate or pyruvate was extracted by the liver. (2) In chronic acidosis, large amounts of lactate were produced. (3) Reduced tissue pyruvate levels and reduced activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase were found in the liver of these dogs compared with normal. These results demonstrate an unexpected effect of acidosis on hepatic lactate metabolism.

Abstract
The distribution of pyruvate between cell compartments measured in isolated hepatocytes in the presence of lactate was in agreement with delta pH across plasma and mitochondrial membranes. In isolated liver mitochondria NH4Cl decreased the transmembrane potential (delta psi) by about 14 mV, whereas no change of delta pH was observed. In the presence of lactate or alanine NH4Cl increased the mitochondrial pyruvate concentration presumably due to the inhibition of the flux through pyruvate carboxylase. In the presence of lactate or alanine changes in the amount of the active form of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDHa) were correlated with the mitochondrial pyruvate concentration, NH4Cl increased the amount of PDHa by lowering the mitochondrial ATP/ADP and NADH/NAD+ ratios.

Abstract
The recruitment into the cycling state of resting Yoshida AH 130 hepatoma cells was studied with respect to its dependence on respiration in an experimental system wherein the overall energy requirement for this recruitment can be supplied by the glycolytic ATP. The G1-S transition of these cells, unaffected by 2,4-dinitrophenol (DNP) at concentrations which uncouple the respiratory phosphorylation, is impaired either by blocking the electron flow to oxygen by antimycin A or by adding an excess of some oxidizable substrates, chiefly pyruvate and oxalacetate. An experimental analysis, focused on pyruvate activity, showed that the inhibition of cell recruitment into S is not related to the depressing effects of this substrate on aerobic glycolysis of tumor cells, nor is it modified by forcing, in the presence of DNP, pyruvate oxidation through the tricarboxylic acid cycle as well as the overall oxygen consumption. Addition of suitable concentrations of preformed purine bases (mainly adenine), completely removes the block of the G1-S transition produced either by the excess of oxidizable substrates or by antimycin A. These findings indicate the existence of a respiration-linked step in purine metabolism, which restricts the above transition and is equally impaired by blocking the respiratory chain or by saturating it with an excess of reducing equivalents derived from unrelated oxidations. The inhibitory effects of pyruvate and antimycin A can be largely removed by the addition of folate and tetrahydrofolate, suggesting that the respiration-linked restriction point of tumor cell cycling involves the folate metabolism and its connections to purine synthesis.

Abstract
Propionate inhibited the metabolic flux through the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction in the perfused rat liver when the perfusate concentration of propionate was below 10 mM and the perfusate pyruvate concentration was held within the physiological range. At higher propionate concentrations (e.g., 20 mM) the inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase was alleviated and the activation state of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was nearly doubled. In livers perfused with a high pyruvate concentration (e.g., 5 mM), propionate coinfusion at all concentrations inhibited the rate of pyruvate decarboxylation. Additional studies were performed in liver mitochondria maintained in State 3 where the ATP/ADP and the NADH/NAD+ ratios were held constant. Low propionate concentrations (e.g., 0.5 mM) inactivated the mitochondrial pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, whereas propionate levels in excess of 1 mM activated the enzyme complex. CoA distribution analyses of the mitochondrial incubations indicated that the presence of either 0.5 or 10 mM propionate caused a substantial accumulation of propionyl-CoA and methylmalonyl-CoA at the expense of free CoASH. Experiments were performed in which the ratios of various acyl-CoA derivatives to CoASH were varied by sequentially increasing the L-carnitine concentrations in the incubation. An inverse relationship between the propionyl-CoA/CoASH and methylmalonyl-CoA/CoASH ratios and the activity of the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex was observed. Experiments using freeze-thawed liver mitochondrial membranes indicated that propionate protected the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex from ATP-mediated inactivation by the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase. It is our contention that the inactivation of pyruvate dehydrogenase complex at low propionate levels may be due to an increase in the mitochondrial acyl-CoA/CoASH ratios, whereas the activation of the enzyme complex demonstrated at high propionate levels is due to the inhibition of the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase in a manner similar to that caused by pyruvate or dichloroacetic acid.

Abstract
The regulation of the branched chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex by covalent modification was investigated in rat liver mitochondria. Depletion of intramitochondrial calcium and magnesium caused an inactivation of the branched chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex. Following inactivation of the branched chain complex, addition of calcium or magnesium ions separately to incubations of mitochondria only partially reactivated the enzyme complex. However, simultaneous addition of calcium and magnesium activated the branched chain enzyme complex rapidly and nearly completely. Mitochondrial incubations were performed in the presence of [32P]phosphate under conditions known to activate or to inactivate the branched chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase complex. Evidence demonstrating that [32P]-phosphate was incorporated into two major protein bands separated in sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gels of the mitochondrial incubations is presented. Migration of the labeled mitochondrial protein bands in the gel system corresponded exactly to the migration of the alpha subunit of the purified heart-derived pyruvate dehydrogenase (decarboxylase, E1) and the alpha subunit of the purified kidney-derived branched chain alpha-keto acid dehydrogenase (decarboxylase, E1). Furthermore, when the measured activity of the branched chain complex was minimized, the amount of [32P]phosphate incorporated into the alpha chain of the branched chain enzyme was maximal. Conversely, incubation conditions which activated maximally the enzyme complex minimized the [32P]phosphate incorporation into the alpha subunit of the branched chain dehydrogenase.

Abstract
A spectrophotometric assay for the brain pyruvate dehydrogenase complex (PDHC) with arylamine acetyltransferase (ArAT; EC 2.3.1.5) to follow the production of acetyl-CoA has been standardized. Activity was proportional to time and protein. It depended completely on added pyruvate, CoA, NAD, and MgCl2, and partially on thiamine pyrophosphate. Triton X-100, and a sulfhydryl compound. The activities are the highest in the literature for brain PDHC (50 nmol/min/mg protein) and equal to maximum recorded rates of pyruvate flux for brain in vivo. Activities as low as 0.6 nmol/min could be measured. Use of ArAT at different purities (I--2-fold and II--55-fold) allowed convenient measurement of total PDHC (ArAT-I) and of the active form of PDHC (ArAT-II). The proportion of PDHC in the active form was 50% in mouse brain, 30% in brain, and 10% in mouse liver. Total PDHC activity was unchanged postmortem during storage of mouse brain in situ at +4 degrees C or at -20 degrees C for 3 days or at +20 degrees C for 24 h. The relative specific activity of PDHC in cytoplasmic or synaptoplasmic fractions was less than that of two other mitochondrial enzymes, fumarase (EC 4.2.1.2) and monoamine oxidase (EC 1.4.3.4), which argues strongly against the hypothesis of a cytoplasmic PDHC in cholinergic nerve endings.

Abstract
Metabolic substrates such as octanoate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, and alpha-ketoisocaproate which produce acetoacetate stimulate the rate of pyruvate decarboxylation in perfused livers from fed rats at perfusate pyruvate concentrations in the physiological range (below 0.2 mM). A quantitative relationship between pyruvate oxidation (14CO2 production from [1-14C]pyruvate) and ketogenesis (production of acetoacetate or total ketone bodies) was observed with all ketogenic substrates when studied over a wide range of concentrations. The ratio of extra pyruvate decarboxylated to extra acetoacetate produced was greater than 1 with octanoate and alpha-ketoisocaproate, but it was less than 1 with beta-hydroxybutyrate. The stimulatory effect of beta-hydroxybutyrate on pyruvate decarboxylation was abolished completely in the presence of 0.1 mM alpha-cyanocinnamate, an inhibitor of the pyruvate transporting system in the mitochondrial membrane. The data suggest that the mechanism by which the flux through the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction is stimulated in liver under ketogenic conditions involves an acceleration of the net rate of pyruvate transport into the mitochondria compartment due to an exchange with acetoacetate and/or acetoacetate plus beta-hydroxybutyrate.

Abstract
1. The effect of varying dietary levels of casein (40-140 g/kg) on hepatic lipogenesis and the levels of hepatic fatty acid synthetase (FAS), glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.49; G6PD), malic enzyme (EC 1.1.1.40; ME), citrate cleavage enzyme (EC 4.1.3.8; CCE), acetyl CoA carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.2; AcCx), glucokinase (EC 2.7.1.2; GK), and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) was examined in young, growing rats. 2. The activities of AcCx, FAS, G6PD and in vivo fatty acid synthesis were generally found to increase with increased dietary protein. 3. The levels of GK and PDH were not related to dietary protein. 4. ME decreased with increasing dietary protein. 5. The results demonstrate a dissociation between hepatic fatty acid synthesis and ME and suggest that when rats consume low-protein diets the NADPH needed for fatty acid synthesis is generated primarily by ME but that as the level of dietary protein is increased the contribution of ME is reduced while that of the phosphogluconate pathway becomes more important.

Abstract
1. Preincubation of isolated rat-liver mitochondria in the presence of adenine nucleotides or Ca2+ results in definite and persistent changes in the initial rate of pyruvate transport. 2. These changes in the rate of pyruvate transport are accompanied by equally persistent changes in the opposite direction of the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.4.1). 3. Changes of the transmembrane pH gradient and of the membrane potential, brought about by the pretreatments of the mitochondria, cannot account for the observed changes in the rate of pyruvate transport. 4. It is proposed that the pretreatment of the mitochondria directly modulates the activity of the mitochondrial pyruvate carrier. The possible regulatory role of such a modulation system is discussed.

Abstract
The effect of fatty acids on the rate of pyruvate decarboxylation was studied in perfused livers from fed rats. The production of 14CO2 from infused [1-14C]pyruvate was employed as a monitor of the flux through the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction. A correction for other decarboxylation reactions was made using kinetic analyses. Fatty acid (octanoate or oleate) infusion caused a stimulation of pyruvate decarboxylation at pyruvate concentrations in the perfusate below 1 mM (up to 3-fold at 0.05 mM pyruvate) but decreased the rate to one-third of control rates at pyruvate concentrations near 5 mM. These effects were half-maximal at fatty acid concentrations below 0.1 mM. Infusion of 3-hydroxybutyrate also caused a marked stimulation of pyruvate decarboxylation at low pyruvate concentrations. The data suggest that the mechanism by which fatty acids stimulate the flux through the pyruvate dehydrogenase reaction in perfused liver at low (limiting) pyruvate concentrations involves an acceleration of pyruvate transport into the mitochondrial compartment due to an exchange with acetoacetate. Furthermore, it is proposed that a relationship exists between ketogenesis and the regulation of pyruvate oxidation at pyruvate concentrations approximating conditions in vivo.

Abstract
The effects of chronic ketosis on cerebral metabolism were determined in adult rats maintained on a high-fat diet for approximately three weeks and compared to a control group of animals. The fat-fed rats had statistically significantly lower blood glucose concentrations and higher blood beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate concentrations; higher brain concentrations of bound glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, pyruvate, lactate, beta-hydroxybutyrate, citrate, alpha-ketoglutarate, alanine, and adenosine triphosphate (ATP); lower brain concentrations of fructose 1,6-diphosphate, aspartate, adenosine diphosphate (ADP), creatine, cyclic nucleotides, succinyl coenzyme A (CoA), acid-insoluble CoA, and total CoA; and similar brain concentrations of glucose, malate, calculated oxaloacetate, glutamate, glutamine, adenosine monophosphate, phosphocreatine, reduced CoA, acetyl CoA, sodium, potassium, chloride, and water content. The metabolite data in the chronically ketotic rats demonstrate an increase in the cerebral energy reserve and energy charge. These data also suggest negative modification of the enzymes phosphofructokinase, pyruvic dehydrogenase, and alpha-ketoglutaric dehydrogenase; positive modification of glycogen synthase; and possible augmentation of the hexose transport system. There was no demonstrable difference in brain pH, water content, or electrolytes in the two groups of animals. We speculate that the increased brain ATP/ADP ratio is central to most, if not all, the observed metabolic perturbations and may account for the increased neuronal stability that accompanies chronic ketosis.

Abstract
Full activation of rat liver pyruvate dehydrogenase in vitro by ADP was prevented by palmitoyl-CoA at a concentration sufficiently low to preclude substrate effects secondary to its oxidation by mitochondria. Activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase by ADP in livers of fat-fed rats was less than in the control animal. The results are consistent with the experiments demonstrating an inhibition of adenine nucleotide translocase and on increased intramitochondrial ATP/ADP ratio by palmitoyl-CoA which could account for the effect on pyruvate dehydrogenase. Inactivation of brain pyruvate dehydrogenase by ATP was also diminished by palmitoyl-CoA indicating that the effect was at the level of the adenine nucleotides rather than at either the pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase or phosphatase enzymes.
