Lacto-N-neotetraosylceramide ("paragloboside") as a possible tumor-associated surface antigen of hamster NILPY tumor.

Isolated rat hepatocytes from fed and starved rats synthesized net glucose from various precursors at similar rates. 3-¹⁴C]-lactate incorporation into glucose was also similar in hepatocytes from fed and starved rats, as was ketone body formation from oleate and octanoate. Rates of gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes from fed rats compare to rates seen in perfused livers from starved rats rather than perfused livers from fed rats. Thus metabolic rates and possibly controls may be different between perfused livers and isolated hepatocytes when using fed rats.
