Crabtree effect induced by fructose in hepatocytes isolated from regenerating liver. 1980

P Martínez, and I Núñez de Castro

The inhibition of respiration caused by fructose is investigated in hepatocytes isolated from regenerating liver. After partial hepatectomy, decreased respiratory capacity of the cells was observed in spite of significantly enhanced levels per milligram of protein of cytochromes b and aa3 in the mitochondrial fraction. During the first few days after operation fructose did not affect the oxygen uptake. From the 10th day after surgery incubation with 10 mmol/l fructose caused an increase in the glycolytic flux parallel with an inhibition of respiration.

D010101	Oxygen Consumption	The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body.

D003580	Cytochromes	Hemeproteins whose characteristic mode of action involves transfer of reducing equivalents which are associated with a reversible change in oxidation state of the prosthetic group. Formally, this redox change involves a single-electron, reversible equilibrium between the Fe(II) and Fe(III) states of the central iron atom (From Enzyme Nomenclature, 1992, p539). The various cytochrome subclasses are organized by the type of HEME and by the wavelength range of their reduced alpha-absorption bands.	Cytochrome

D005947	Glucose	A primary source of energy for living organisms. It is naturally occurring and is found in fruits and other parts of plants in its free state. It is used therapeutically in fluid and nutrient replacement.

D006019	Glycolysis	A metabolic process that converts GLUCOSE into two molecules of PYRUVIC ACID through a series of enzymatic reactions. Energy generated by this process is conserved in two molecules of ATP. Glycolysis is the universal catabolic pathway for glucose, free glucose, or glucose derived from complex CARBOHYDRATES, such as GLYCOGEN and STARCH.
