Effects of streptozotocin-diabetes, fasting and adrenaline on phosphorylase phosphatase activities of rat skeletal muscle.
The distribution of the spontaneous and trypsin-stimulated phosphorylase phosphatase activities between glycogen particles and cytosol was examined in muscle extracts obtained from rats that had been fasted, made diabetic with streptozotocin or injected with adrenaline. In all conditions the particle-bound phosphatase activities decreased, glycogen was degraded and phosphorylase was released from the particles into the cytosol. However, in fasting and diabetes (but not after adrenaline) the combined glycogen particle + cytosolic phosphatase activities decreased, indicating that the activity lost from the particles was not simply shifted to the cytosol. Fasting and diabetes (but not adrenaline) also decreased the phosphatase-activating ability of the muscle extracts, which was, at least in part, attributable to the protein kinase FA. These data indicate the presence of at least two different mechanisms affecting the phosphatase system, one modified by fasting and diabetes, the other by adrenaline.
