Pilocarpine-induced increases in the activity of 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase and the fructose-2,6-bisphosphate content of rat salivary glands. 
The activity of 6-phosphofructo-1-kinase (PFK-1), an important regulatory enzyme of glycolysis, was determined after injection of the sialagogue pilocarpine.  The fructose-2,6-bisphosphate content of the glands and 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase (PFK-2) activity were also measured.  The increase in PFK-1 activity after pilocarpine treatment was likely to be due to the increase in the content of its potent modulator, fructose-2,6-bisphosphate.  This in turn was assumed to be due to the increase in the activity of the active form of PFK-2.
