Hexokinase isoenzymes in diabetes
Hexokinase is present in the tissues in four isoenzymic forms. Cerebral tissue contains predominantly Type I hexokinase which is believed to be insulin-insensitive. In cerebral tissue about 60 to 70% of the hexokinase is bound to the particulate fraction. The changes in the distribution of hexokinase Type I and Type II together with the bound and free hexokinase have been studied in control, diabetic and diabetic animals treated with insulin. The results indicate that the presence of insulin is essential for the normal binding of the hexokinase to the particulate fraction. In heart tissue, Type II hexokinase bound to the pellet shows a significant decrease in diabetes, which is reversed on insulin administration.

Two key enzymes of gluconeogenesis, glucose-6-phosphatase and fructosp-1-6-diphosphatase, were present in the cerebral hemispheres, the cerebellum and the brain stem of the rat brain. Significant activities of these-enzymes were associated with the particulate fraction.

Changes in the activity of hexokinase and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in the three brain regions and heart were studied in the 6-Aminonicotinamide-treated rats. Drug administration decreased the particulate hexokinase and lactate dehydrogenase activity, but increased the soluble hexokinase
