Corneal glycogen synthesis. I. Evidence for a gluconeogenic pathway in beef cornea.
نویسنده
چکیده
Beef eye anterior chambers were perfused with media containing radiolabeled glycogen precursors. Incorporation of 14C from 1-alanine-U-14C into corneal epithelium glycogen suggested the presence of a gluconeogenic pathway in the eye. Failure to isolate radioactive glucose from 1-alanine-U-14C-containing perfusate after passage through the anterior chamber strongly suggests a corneal site for this pathway.

Corneal glycogen synthesis. I. Evidence for a gluconeogenic pathway in beef cornea
the study was terminated 10 weeks following keratoplasty. Sera from the recipient rabbits were examined intermittently for hemagglutinating activity directed at donor antigens, but no satisfactory test for hemagglutination in rabbits could be obtained. Grafts were considered rejected when they became too hazy for iris detail to be seen. One ocular infection occurred, and this rabbit was elimina...
متن کاملSources of carbon for hepatic glycogen synthesis in the conscious dog.
To identify the source(s) of carbon for the indirect pathway of hepatic glycogen synthesis, we studied nine 42-h fasted conscious dogs given a continuous intraduodenal infusion of glucose, labeled with [1-13C]glucose and [3-3H]glucose, at 8 mg.kg-1.min-1 for 240 min. Glycogen formation by the direct pathway was measured by 13C-NMR. Net hepatic balances of glucose, gluconeogenic amino acids, lac...
متن کاملLiver glyconeogenesis: a pathway to cope with postprandial amino acid excess in high-protein fed rats?
This paper provides molecular evidence for a liver glyconeogenic pathway, that is, a concomitant activation of hepatic gluconeogenesis and glycogenesis, which could participate in the mechanisms that cope with amino acid excess in high-protein (HP) fed rats. This evidence is based on the concomitant upregulation of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK) gene expression, downregulation of glu...
متن کاملRestoration of direct pathway glycogen synthesis flux in the STZ-diabetes rat model by insulin administration.
Type 1 diabetes subjects are characterized by impaired direct pathway synthesis of hepatic glycogen that is unresponsive to insulin therapy. Since it is not known whether this is an irreversible defect of insulin-dependent diabetes, direct and indirect pathway glycogen fluxes were quantified in streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetic rats and compared with STZ rats that received subcutaneous or i...
متن کاملGlycogen synthesis in the perfused liver of the starved rat.
1. In the isolated perfused liver from 48h-starved rats, glycogen synthesis was followed by sequential sampling of the two major lobes. 2. The fastest observed rates of glycogen deposition (0.68-0.82mumol of glucose/min per g fresh liver) were obtained in the left lateral lobe, when glucose in the medium was 25-30mm and when gluconeogenic substrates were present (pyruvate, glycerol and serine: ...
