Effect of glucose on carbohydrate synthesis from alanine or lactate in hepatocytes from starved rats. 1980

K Solanki, and F Nyfeler, and U K Moser, and P Walter

In hepatocytes from starved rats, 10mM-glucose suppressed in incorporation of 2mM labelled alanine into glucose+glycogen by more than 40%, whereas no inhibition was observed with labelled lactate as substrate. Addition of glycerol instead of glucose did not show this inhibition. The inhibitory effect could also be demonstrated in label-free experiments.
