Isolated liver parenchymal cells from rats fed a 65% sucrose diet for 14 days were incubated in the presence and absence of 10(-6) M glucagon. The pyruvate kinase obtained from homogenates of the glucagon-treated cells displayed and increased Ks 0.5 for phosphoenolpyruvate (P-enolpyruvate), as well as an increased Ka 0.5 for 6-phosphogluconate (6-P-gluconate), compared to pyruvate kinase from untreated cells. Additionally, glucagon treatment decreased the maximal stimulation of pyruvate kinase by 6-P-gluconate by approximately two-thirds and decreased the Hill coefficient value of pyruvate kinase for 6-P-gluconate from 1.76 to 1.56. 6-Aminonicotinamide, an inhibitor of 6-P-gluconate dehydrogenase, increased 6-P-gluconate levels in isolated liver parenchymal cells three- to sevenfold, depending on the substrates present. The flux of P-enolpyruvate through pyruvate kinase was increased from 18 to 40% in these preparations and was highly correlated with the increase in 6-P-gluconate levels. The results suggest that 6-P-gluconate could regulate pyruvate kinase activity in the intact liver parenchymal cell. Furthermore, the activator would be of greatest importance in the lipogenic animal.

The mode of uptake of l-[125I]thyroxine by freshly isolated rat liver parenchymal cells was studied by a rapid centrifugation technique. Using conditions for measuring initial rates of uptake, uptake by liver cells was not saturable when exposed to hormone concentrations in the incubation medium ranging from 2 pmol/l to 10 μmol/l. The Arrhenius plot was linear from 2 to 37°C; the temperature coefficient was 1·4. The uptake of l-[125I]thyroxine by liver cells was 35% when compared with that of l-[125I]tri-iodothyronine. In the presence of 2·8% bovine serum albumin the rate of uptake of l-[125I]thyroxine by liver cells was reduced by 90%. These results suggest that l-[125I]thyroxine enters the rat liver parenchymal cell by simple diffusion and only the free hormone crosses the plasma membrane.
