Gluconeogenesis from amino acids in neonatal rat liver.
نویسندگان
چکیده
1. The utilization of amino acids for gluconeogenesis by rat liver develops in postnatal life, reaching maximum activity at the fifth day. 2. The activity of aspartate transaminase shows a similar trend in postnatal development and the increased activity appears to be due to the soluble enzyme. 3. The activity of alanine transaminase is low in foetal and postnatal rat liver and increases in activity at about the twentieth day. 4. Aspartate, glutamate and alanine make a major contribution to gluconeogenesis in the postnatal rat liver.

Carbohydrate formation from various precursors in noenatal rat liver.
1. Measurements of the net synthesis of glucose plus glycogen from various precursors in slices of glycogen-depleted livers from rats at various stages of development indicated an increase in the gluconeogenic capacity after birth with l-lactate, oxaloacetate, a casein hydrolysate, l-serine, l-threonine, l-alanine and glycerol as substrates. 2. The highest rates of incorporation of (14)C-labell...
متن کاملMuscle alanine synthesis and hepatic gluconeogenesis.
Gluconeogenesis is the metabolic process involving the synthesis de novo of glucose molecules from other carbon precursors during situations in which there is an enhanced oxidative utilization of body glucose or in which there is a dietary insufficiency of carbohydrate to supply the body requirements for oxidative glucose metabolism. Glucose synthesis is, for the most part, confined to the live...
متن کاملControl of gluconeogenesis from amino acids in the perfused rat liver.
Gluconeogenesis from amino acids was investigated with isolated rat livers perfused with Krebs bicarbonate buffer containing bovine red cells and serum albumin. In livers from fasted rats perfused with a mixture of amino acids at various multiples of their normal plasma concentrations, glucose production was half-maximal at normal amino acid concentrations and approached saturation at three tim...

1. The possible role of glycerol as a precursor in neonatal gluconeogenesis in the rat was investigated by recording the activities of glycerol kinase and l-glycerol 3-phosphate dehydrogenase in the liver, kidney and other tissues around birth and during the neonatal period. 2. Blood glycerol concentrations in the neonatal rat are high. 3. There is a marked increase after birth in the ability o...
متن کاملGluconeogenesis from glycine and serine in the rat.
Although it is assumed that amino acids constitute the main source of glucose production in animals, relatively little modern work has been done on the magnitude of gluconeogenesis from amino acids or on the factors which might influence this process. Studies conducted in early years were based principally on the experimental techniques of measuring glucose excretion in phlorizinized or depancr...
