Possible Interaction: Glucose and Butyric Acid

“… substrates glucose, …, butyric , had a 3-fold effect on the kinetic parameters examined: 1) the quantity of (Na+,K+)-ATPase-mediated ion transport per oxygen consumed … produced per oxygen consumed, short chain fatty acids are able to increase the overall production of ATP during periods of high metabolic demand.”

“The addition of glucose to the growth medium caused an increase in the relative amount of butyric acid and a decrease in isobutyric and isovaleric acid.”
