title: Effect of 3-deoxyglucosone on the activities of enzymes responsible for glucose metabolism in mouse liver.
abstract: Crude extracts containing the enzymes obtained from mouse liver were incubated with 3-deoxyglucosone (3-DG), and then subjected to assay of the activities of enzymes responsible for glucose metabolism. Hexokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase activities were decreased by 3-DG and hexokinase activity was strongly inhibited time and concentration dependently, while glucokinase, glucose-6-phosphatase, and phosphofructokinase activities were scarcely affected. These results suggest that 3-DG inhibits the intake of glucose in the liver and a connection with development of diabetes.
