Formation of glucose from hexoses, pentoses, polyols and related substances in kidney cortex

H A Krebs et al. Biochem J. 1966 Jan.

Abstract

1. Slices of rat kidney cortex, on incubation in a saline medium, formed d-glucose from the following substances: d-fructose, d-galactose, d-mannose, l-sorbose, l-arabinose, d-xylose, glycerol, myo-inositol, l-iditol, sorbitol, xylitol, ribitol, methylglyoxal, dihydroxyacetone, l-glyceraldehyde, d-glyceraldehyde, dl-glyceraldehyde, dl-glycerate. Values for the rates of glucose formation from these precursors are given. 2. No glucose was formed from l-rhamnose, d-arabitol, d-arabinose, d-ribose, l-fucose, d-lyxose, mannitol, dulcitol, d-glucuronate, propane-1,2-diol and propan-2-ol. 3. The pathways of glucose formation from the various precursors are discussed (Scheme 1). 4. l-Glyceraldehyde inhibited the formation of glucose from d-glyceraldehyde.
