Effects of fatty acids, ketone bodies, lactate and pyruvate on glucose utilization by guinea-pig cerebral cortex slices.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. Starvation did not affect the rates of glucose utilization or lactate formation by guinea-pig cerebral cortex slices. 2. Palmitate (1mm), butyrate (5mm) or acetoacetate (5mm) did not affect glucose utilization or lactate formation by cerebral cortex slices from guinea pigs starved for 48hr. 3. dl-beta-Hydroxybutyrate (10mm) increased the formation of lactate without affecting glucose utilization by cerebral cortex slices from guinea pigs starved for 48hr. This implies that beta-hydroxybutyrate decreased the rate of glucose oxidation. 4. Metabolism of added ketone bodies can account for 20-40% of observed rates of oxygen consumption. 5. Lactate or pyruvate (5mm) decreased the rates of glucose utilization by guinea-pig cerebral cortex slices.

Mitochondrial phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (GTP) and the regulation of gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis in avian liver.
Chicken liver synthesizes glucose from lactate and dihydroxyacetone at high rates but pyruvate, glycerol, alanine, and other amino acids are poor glucose precursors. Despite its limited conversion to glucose, 1 m~ pyruvate completely suppressed ketone body synthesis from octanoate by perfused chicken liver, whereas lactate at this concentration had no effect on ketogenesis. Also, increasing the...
متن کاملAcceleration of Renal Gluconeogenesis by Ketone Bodies and Fatty Acids.
1. Acetoacetate or short-chain fatty acids (acetate, butyrate, propionate, n-hexanoate, n-octanoate) accelerate the rate of glucose formation from lactate, fumarate and other precursors in slices of kidney cortex (rat, rabbit, sheep). The cause of this acceleration has been investigated. 2. There are two different mechanisms of acceleration. At low concentrations of glucogenic precursors the ac...
متن کاملInhibition by pyruvate of pig heart mitochondrial glutamate influx.
Cardiac muscle mainly oxidises fatty acids, ketone bodies and pyruvate originating from either glycolysis or glucogenolysis, or from lactate oxidation. The formation of pyruvate and its oxidation by mitochondria are controlled directly by the reoxidation of extra-mitochondrial NADH, which cannot operate directly via the respiratory chain [ 1,2] . This reoxidation probably occurs via the Borst c...
متن کاملLipogenesis in rat and guinea-pig isolated epididymal fat-cells.
Fat-cells were prepared from rat and guinea-pig epididymal adipose tissue and compared on the basis of the intracellular distributions and activities of enzymes and with respect to their utilization of various U-(14)C-labelled substrates for lipogenesis. 1. Compared with the rat, guinea-pig extramitochondrial enzyme activities differed in that aconitate hydratase, alanine aminotransferase, ATP-...

1. The metabolic and hormonal responses to intravenous glucose (0.5 g/kg body wt.) were studied in ten normal subjects and thirteen patients with active chronic hepatitis. Untreated patients showed a decreased initial insulin response and glucose intolerance (KG, 0.89 fO-lO%/min compared with 2*34+0*24%/min), together with a paradoxical rise in growth hormone. 2. Fasting blood lactate and pyruv...
