General Information

General Information Comment Organism
physiological function entrance of ground squirrels into hibernation from their active state is accompanied by a sharp decrease in blood glucose level (from 14 to 2.9 mM) and with a 7fold decrease of glucokinase activity in the liver cytoplasm. The dependence of glucokinase activity upon glucose concentration for the enzyme from active ground squirrel liver shows a pronounced sigmoid character (Hill coefficient, h = 1.70 and S0.5 = 6.23 mM). On decreasing the temperature to 2°C (simulation of hibernation conditions), this dependency becomes almost hyperbolic (h = 1.16) and glucokinase affinity for substrate is reduced (S0.5 = 23 mM). These parameters for hibernating ground squirrels (body temperature 5°C) at 25°C are practically equal to the corresponding values obtained for glucokinase from the liver of active animals Urocitellus undulatus
