Abstract: | Abstract— The effect of free fatty acids on rat brain particulate hexokinase was studied in vitro. Hexokinase bound with brain mitochondrial fraction was found to be sensitive to the action of free fatty acids, resulting in the solubilization of at least part of bound enzyme activity into the supernatant. The decrease of total enzyme activity observed at the highest free fatty acid concentration was probably due to the inhibition of hexokinase. The physiological consequence of hexokinase solubilization by low concentrations of free fatty acids, similar to that observed in vivo , is discussed in relation to activity changes of soluble and particulate enzyme forms demonstrated previously under hypoxic conditions. |
