Table 3 Effect of overexpression of PEPCK of starved mice on feeding
From: Nonequilibrium thermodynamics and energy efficiency in weight loss diets
Starved mice | PEPCK activity (%) | (J2) pyruvate -> glycerol (cpm/mg prot/2 hr) | (J1) FA reesterification (mmol/mg prot/2 hr) | J1/J2 (mmol/cpm) | FAT PAD Wt. (mg) | Food consumed mg ± SE |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
control | 100 | 300 | 300 | 1.0 | 400 | 3.3 ± 0.1 |
hetero-PEPCK | 400 | 650 | 550 | 1.18 | 800 | 3.2 ± 0.1 |
homo-PEPCK | 1300 | 750 | 620 | 1.21 | 1500 | 3.4 ± 0.1 |
