The effects of dicbaoroace~.ate (DCAL a~ ~nhibitor of pyruvate dehydrogenase kinase., on the phos~horylaUo~ o f the ~-subue,At of pyt-uva~e dehyd:'oge::ase and on :he activity of oyruvate dehydrogenase :pymwat~:li~arNde ~a~e (deearboxy:ating aad acceptoroace~ylating), EC t .2.4. ~, PDH) were m~s~igated in ra: hlppo~ampal slice~. ~neuhati~g hippoc~amp~ slices with ir:¢reas:r~g concentrations of DCA resulted in am i::¢re&~e ~rt the active portion of PDH, without changes in {he tota~ PDH activity, :he i~ vitro pho~phoW~ation of c~-PDH. The effe¢~ of DCA on PDH activity os~ maximal after 5 rain. These re~uI~s indicate that DCA in the htppocampM P D H kinase sad consequemty s~imulates PDH activity by decreasing its e ~tate of phoapho~,latios. Moreover the time..co'~:rse of the effect of DCA ~uggests .Cat Che tin'never rate of the phosphate gr<,mpera°tied by ~-PDH is very rapid and can be manip~;~a:ed by altering PDH kina~e acfivi~,y,

Slice~ we~e and active and rata1 P D H activiW were measured as DCA concentration progressively increases the active portion o f P D H without affecting ~ot~I PDH activity t~igo IA)o DCA has a m~t effect: at i o n a s low as 0.4 raM, and the haIf-maydmal effect N a~ aexmcentrafion of 0.8 raM. The ratio of active to term PDH activity increases from about 0o50 m 0.75-0.80 a~ the highest D C A concentration, representing a 50-60% increase. It is interesting to compare these effects of DCA in: ~ e e s to l h o ~ obtained on PDH actNity in purified mitoehondria° 7bus we previously % u ~ d that DCA, in the latter case, maximally siimu~ated PDH activity by about 50-40% with the hNf-maxkaat effect at a concentration of 0.2 mM [5]. The differences in ECso between the slice and the p~rified mkocho~adfia is probaNy due to diffusion as welt as degradation of DCA i~ the slice.
