title: Rat serum fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase: modifications in different experimental conditions.
abstract: Fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase activity was measured in rat serum. The activity of the enzyme presented the following characteristics: pH optimum alkaline, between 8-8.5 and inhibited by AMP. The activity was measured in different experimental situations, such as streptozotocin diabetes, hepatocellular injury produced by carbon tetrachloride (CCl4), and bile-duct ligation. In diabetic rat, serum activity increased 2-fold with respect to the control values. In animals treated with CCl4 the activity increased 10-14 fold. On the contrary bile duct ligation decreased activity according to the cholestasis time. The results obtained in this study show that fructose 1,6 bisphosphatase is an enzyme measurable in serum, which changes according to different situations of liver cell injury.
