Physiological mechanism by which acetyl CoA carboxylase is regulated

M N Abdel-Halim et al. Experientia. .

Abstract

Compared with rats fed a normal diet, the activity of the protein inhibitor of acetyl CoA carboxylase in rat liver doubled after 48 h of fasting. Conversely, acetyl CoA carboxylase activity was diminished by nearly one half. In animals fasted and then subsequently refed a fat free diet, acetyl CoA carboxylase activity was elevated by nearly 9-fold, with a concomitant decrease in the activity of the protein inhibitor by about 9-fold as compared to fasted rats. Hence it appears that the regulatory protein inhibitor for acetyl CoA carboxylase is of physiological significance for fatty acid biosynthesis.
