| Abstract: | 1. Glucose production by freshly isolated hepatocytes from rainbow trout was studied after anaesthesia of the animals with 2-phenoxy ethanol (2PE) or tricaine methanesulphonate (MS222). 2. At the end of the procedure, hepatic contents of glycogen, glucose, lactate, ATP, ADP, AMP, were not significantly different between the two treatments. 3. Glucose production was considerably lower for 2PE than for MS222 anaesthetized trouts. This discrepancy results probably from an inhibition of glycogenolysis, suggesting that 2PE anaesthetized animals were less stressed than MS222 anaesthetized ones. |
