Table 1 Relative maximal enzyme activities for the normal, fasted, and diabetic rat liver. The numbers represent relative maximal enzyme activities with respect to those of the fed state (= reference state). They are based on the experimentally observed protein abundance ratios shown in Fig. 1. For the absolute values of maximal enzyme activities in the fed (reference) state see section model parameters in Additional file 1. Where there is no range given, only the given fixed ratio was used
