Randle Cycle as Applied to Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 ‘Spruce the Basement before Dusting the
Journal Title: International Journal of Biochemistry Research & Review - Year 2017, Vol 18, Issue 4
Abstract
Randle cycle (1963) is about substrate competition between products of glycolysis and β–oxidation to capture the citric acid cycle for further oxidation. Acetyl –CoA, the end product of both the energy metabolisms, when accumulates in mitochondrial matrix beyond the oxidative capacity of the citric acid cycle, far reaching consequences take place than simple substrate competition, inhibition of pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH), inhibition of glycolysis and preferential passage of β-oxidation products through citric acid cycle, as conceived by Randle. It is shown that citric acid cycle is equally shut off for both products of energy metabolism initially. Hence, the question of substrate competition between them does not arise. How the preferential passage of β-oxidation products occur is explained by a different mechanism than what Randle put forward. The final common pathway to either of β-oxidation or lipogenesis is- acetyl CoA carboxylase (ACC)-melanoyl- CoA-CPT 1. The final result depends on whether ACC is stimulated or inhibited inhibition results in β-oxidation and stimulation results in lipogenesis. Randle contention is not true because, simultaneously, AMPK is also inhibited which inhibits in turn the β -oxidation The proposed hypothesis suggests that low substrate for ACC i.e. Plasma acetyl- CoA, which is carboxylated to melanoyl- CoA is responsible for switch of energy metabolism to β-oxidation independent of AMPK. To corroborate the proposed mechanism, a low pyruvate level, an additional block in the glycolytic pathway at the level of Pyruvate kinase (PK) and involvement of hexose monophosphate shunt (HMP shunt) are proposed with objective evidence, supporting the same.
