title: [Activation of pyruvate dehydrogenase by addition of insulin to a mixture of cell membranes and mitochondria from the brain of normal and alloxan treated rats. (Preliminary note)].
abstract: The effect of insulin and ATP on pyruvate dehydrogenase activity has been studied in a mixture of plasma membranes/mitochondria from normal and diabetic rat brain. In both enzymatic preparations ATP inhibits almost completely pyruvate dehydrogenase activity; insulin on the contrary induces a conspicuous activation and removes the inhibiting action of ATP.
