title: PYRUVATE METABOLISM AND CONTROL: FACTORS AFFECTING PYRUVIC CARBOXYLASE ACTIVITY.
abstract: Pyruvic carboxylase activated by acetyl coenzyme A is highly active in the mitochondria of rodent liver, and its activity is increased in fasting and alloxan diabetes. In conjunction with acyl carboxylase activated by di- and tricarboxylic acid, it forms a reciprocating control network. Analog models of similar networks tend to correct for perturbations, stabilizing the overall system.
