Hydroxypyruvate as a gluconeogenic substrate in rat hepatocytes

Hydroxypyruvate as a gluconeogenic substrate in rat hepatocytes

D H Williamson et al. Biochem J. 1975 Jan.

Abstract

At concentrations of 2mM and above hydroxypyruvate produced no glucose with isolated rat liver cells, although it was rapidly utilized. At a lower concentration of hydroxypyruvate or in the presence of substrates which generate reducing equivalents (ethanol or butyrate), appreciable amounts of glucose were formed from hydroxypyruvate. A possible explanation for this phenomenon is discussed.
