1. Measurements of the activities in rat liver of the four key enzymes involved in gluconeogenesis, i.e. pyruvate carboxylase (EC 6.4.1.1), phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (EC 4.1.1.32), fructose 1,6-diphosphatase (EC 3.1.3.11) and glucose 6-phosphatase (EC 3.1.3.9), have been carried out, all four enzymes being measured in the same liver sample. Changes in activities resulting from starvation and diabetes have been studied. Changes in concentration (activity/unit wet weight of tissue) were compared with changes in the hepatic cellular content (activity/unit of DNA). 2. Each enzyme was found to increase in concentration during starvation for up to 3 days, but only glucose 6-phosphatase and phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase showed a significant rise in content. Fructose 1,6-diphosphatase appeared to decrease in content somewhat during the early stages of starvation. 3. There was a marked increase in the concentration of all four enzymes in non-starved rats made diabetic with alloxan or streptozotocin, for the most part similar responses being found for the two diabetogenic agents. On starvation, however, the enzyme contents in the diabetic animals tended to fall, often with streptozotocin-treated animals to values no greater than for the normal overnight-starved rat. Deprivation of food during the period after induction of diabetes with streptozotocin lessened the rise in enzyme activity. 4. The results are compared with other published values and factors such as substrate and activator concentrations likely to influence activity in vivo are considered. 5. Lack of correlation of change in fructose 1,6-diphosphatase with the other enzymes questions whether it should be included in any postulation of control of gluconeogenic enzymes by a single gene unit.
