Proglycosyn and resorcinol stimulate glycogen synthesis and inhibit glycolysis in hepatocytes. The former effect is attributed to inactivation of phosphorylase mediated by glucuronidated metabolites. This study investigated the mechanism by which resorcinol inhibits glycolysis. Resorcinol (150 microM) inhibited glycolysis in hepatocytes incubated with glucose (15-35 mM) but not with dihydroxyacetone (10 mM). The inhibition of glycolysis at elevated glucose concentration was associated with inhibition of glucose-induced dissociation of glucokinase and aldolase. The resorcinol concentration that caused half-maximal inhibition (20-43 microM) increased with increasing glucose concentration (15-35 mM). Resorcinol inhibited the translocation of glucokinase and the stimulation of detritiation of [2-3H]glucose and [3-3H]glucose caused by sorbitol (10-200 microM), but it potentiated the stimulation of glycogen synthesis. The inhibition of glycolysis by resorcinol could not be accounted for by diversion of substrate to glycogen. The glucose 6-phosphate content correlated with the free glucokinase activity. Resorcinol counteracted the increase in glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 2,6-bisphosphate caused by elevated glucose concentration or by sorbitol. The suppression of glucose 6-phosphate at high glucose concentration (15-35 mM) could be explained by the low activity of free glucokinase. However, the suppression at 5 mM glucose was due in part to an independent mechanism. The effect of resorcinol on glucokinase translocation was partly counteracted by galactosamine, which suppresses UDP-glucose and inhibits glucuronide formation, and was mimicked by phenol and p-nitrophenol but not by p-nitrophenylglucuronide. It is concluded that resorcinol inhibits glycolysis at elevated glucose concentration or when stimulated by sorbitol through increased glucokinase binding. The results indicate a link between glucuronidation and glucokinase translocation.
