Study on the effect of adiponectin on enzymatic activity of glucokinase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in cultured rat’s liver cells
Objective:To investigate the effect of adiponectin on enzymatic activity of glucokinase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in cultured rat’s liver cells.Methods:The BRL was used as cell model.The rat liver cells were incubated with adiponectin of three different concentrations (10μg/ml
30μg/ml and 50μg/ml).Controlled cells were incubated without adiponectin.Enzymatic activity of GK was investigated by using a standard G6P-coupled assay.Enzymatical activity of PEPCK was assessed by using a standard LDH-coupled assay.Results:Compared with the control group
treated group with adiponectin of all concentrations for 24h had no significant effect on enzymatic activity of glucokinase.Enzymatic activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase was significantly decreased even in the lowest concentration of adiponectin
and along with increased in adiponectin concentration enzymatic activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase decreased more significantly.Conclusion:Adiponectin has no significant effect on ezymatic activity of glucokinase.However adiponectin decreases enzymatic activity of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase significantly.Through this effect
adiponectin decreases liver glucose production and improves insulin resistance.
