EFFECT OF WHOLE-BODY X-IRRADIATION ON GLUCOSE OXIDATION BY RAT SMALL INTESTINE MUCOSA IN VITRO

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4294600
A method was developed for determining the rate of glucose oxidation by rat small intestine mucosa in vitro. Results from studies of the oxidation of carbon-14 labeled compounds indicate that the increase in glucose oxidation by rat small intestine mucosa following x irradiation is due entirely to increased citric acid cycle activity. In addition, the results suggest that x irradiation causes a decrease in oxidation of glucose by extraglycolytic pathways but does not affect the oxidation of glucose by way of the Embden-Meyerhof pathway.
