| Research Abstract |
The regulation of glucose metabolism was studied in chicken kidney perfused with either an arterial system or a portal system.
A. Provided that kidneys were perfused with oxygenated buffer solution at a flow rate of 5 ml/min per g of kidney in both perfusion system, oxygenation of the kidney was achieved.
B. Pyruvate, an oxidized substrate, found to be a much better gluconeogenic precursor than lactate in the perfused chicken kidney.
C. Quinolinate, an inhibitor of cytosolic phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, inhibited gluconeogenesis from lactate and pyruvate but not from succinate, malate and <alpha> -ketoglutarate.
D. Chicken renal gluconeogenesis occurs in the cortex and glycolysis occurs in medullary structures. Furthermore, succinate, transported by a <Na^+> -dependent system and monocarboxylic acids transported by a <Na^+> -independent system through the basolateral side of the kidney are good substrates for gluconeogenesis.
