Abstract: | The authors studied the effect of glucose on the uptake and utilization of palmitate 1 14C by rat kidney cortex slices. They found that its inhibitory effect on free fatty acid (FFA) uptake was caused by inhibition of the incorporation of 1 14C-labelled palmitate into the total lipids and FFA and by reduced oxidation to 14CO2. Glucose has a regulative function in the utilization of FFA by the kidneys. |
