Isolated rat hepatocytes were prepared in Krebs-Henseleit bicarbonate (KHB) buffer, pH 7.4, by a procedure described earlier. They were centrifuged and washed twice in KHB buffer containing 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.02, 0.05, 0.89 or 1.0 mM phosphate and were incubated at 30{degrees}C in the presence of tracer 2,3-{sup 14}C-succinate and 0.5 mM concentration of each of the 20 natural amino acids. Hepatocytes washed and incubated in KHB buffer containing less than 0.05 mM phosphate failed to show any insulin stimulation of 2,3-{sup 14}C-succinate oxidation or protein incorporation of tracer carbons. Mitochondrial oxidation of succinate carbons was significantly lower in the medium containing less than 1.0 mM phosphate. Maximal insulin stimulatory effect was observed in the presence of 1 mM phosphate in the medium. These data indicate that a diminished insulin responsiveness in hypophosphatemic patients may be due to the insensitivity of mitochondria to insulin in the hypophosphatemic state.
