Changes in enzymatic activities involved in glucose metabolism by acyl-CoAs in<i>Trypanosoma cruzi</i>
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This study describes the effect of some saturated and unsaturated free fatty acids and acyl-CoA thioesters on Trypanosoma cruzi glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and hexokinase activities. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase was sensitive to the destabilizing effect provoked by free fatty acids, while hexokinase remained unaltered. Glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase inhibition by free fatty acids was dependent on acid concentration and chain length. Both enzymes were inhibited when they were incubated with acyl-CoA thioesters. The acyl-CoA thioesters inhibited glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase at a lower concentration than the free fatty acids; the ligands glucose 6-phosphate and NADP+afforded protection. The inhibition of hexokinase by acyl-CoAs was not reverted when the enzyme was incubated with ATP. The type of inhibition found with acyl-CoAs in relation to glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and hexokinase suggests that this type inhibition may produce an in vivo modulation of these enzymatic activities.Key words: Trypanosoma cruzi, fatty acids, acyl-CoAs, glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase, hexokinase.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
