Some biochemical observations on gluconeogenesis from propionate in hepatocytes isolated from normal and

|January 1, 1985
Abstract:
Propionate and pyruvate added to isolated normal and biotin-deficient adult rat hepatocytes increase the production of glucose. This production decreases about 30% on biotin deficiency. Malonate inhibits gluconeogenesis from propionate showing the metabolic transformation of propionyl-CoA via the Krebs cycle. Neither glucagon nor dibutyryl-cyclic AMP significantly stimulate gluconeogenesis.
