An experiment where perfused rat hearts receiving no substrate are suddenly given glucose with insulin in the perfusate is simulated with a computer model of cardiac energy metabolism. Mitochondrial metabolism is quantitatively reorganized under cytoplasmic control, with fatty acid oxidation undergoing a two-step decrease. There is an unspanning of the Krebs cycle (different reactions going at different rates) due primarily to slowing of alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase; this ends when cytoplasmic glucose reaches a new steady state. Mitochondria in vitro are known to have higher pH than their surroundings; it is found here that this also holds in situ. Under these conditions, glycolysis is coherently substrate controlled, as is phosphofructokinase, usually considered the typical example of an allosteric enzyme. Limitations on simple methods of analyzing metabolic data of this type, e.g., use of lactate/pyruvate ratios to calculate NADH/NAD ratios, are discussed. Here a large volume of enzyme and other biochemical information has been integrated into a physiologically meaningful system.
