Abstract

1. The distribution and multiple forms of hexokinase activity in lactating rat mammary gland were investigated in alloxan-diabetic rats and in rats treated with anti-insulin serum. It was found that 46% of the total hexokinase of mammary-gland tissue from control rats was in the particulate fraction, but this percentage was decreased in the alloxan-diabetic rats to 11% of the total hexokinase. The hexokinase activity of the soluble fraction was not significantly altered but there was a decrease in the type II/type I quotient. 2. The early changes that occurred on insulin deprivation were studied 1hr. after administration of anti-insulin serum to lactating rats, at which time the hexokinase bound to the particulate fraction had decreased to 11% of the control value and that in the soluble fraction had increased by approx. 50%. The hexokinase type II/type I quotient in the soluble fraction was significantly decreased. These results suggested that there was a release of particulate-bound hexokinase in rats treated with anti-insulin serum.
