Bioactivity

• In Vitro:
  The presence of 55 nM glucagon and 1 mM Caprylic acid sodium in the culture medium increased the activity of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase in mitochondrial extracts of rat hepatocytes cultured in medium 199 for 21 h by 2.5-fold. This change is comparable to that induced in vivo by starvation for 48 h. The potential contribution of branched-chain complexes to the activity of PDH complexes in rat liver mitochondria has been determined.
