The conversion of 14C-maltose into glucose, lactate and 14 CO2 was studied in perfused livers from fed and fasted rats and in isolated hepatocytes. Maximal glucose production was 30 mM x g-1 x h-1; half-maximal rates were found with 3 mM maltose. About 0.01 % of the radioactivity infused was recovered as 14CO2. The addition of maltose had no effect on rates of oxygen consumption, lactate production or ketogenesis. The data suggest that maltose did not serve as a major substrate for biosynthetic or energy producing processes under the conditions of the perfused rat liver.
