Abstract
Starvation or feeding rats on a high-protein diet, valine or isoleucine, but not leucine, increases the activity of muscle phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, but has no effect on NADP+-linked malate dehydrogenase. This suggests that muscle phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is involved in oxidation or conversion of some amino acids to alanine.This publication has 17 references indexed in Scilit:
