Possible Interaction: Glucose and Glutamic Acid

“4 Glucose ingestion markedly increased total Ra especially with Hi‐Glu.”

“Moreover, glucose was less used for de novo synthesis of hepatic proteins and muscle glycogen from GLU fish (P<0.05).”

“Values for both insulin-dependent (SI) and insulin-independent (Sg) glucose disposal were higher in the GLU group compared with the FAT and CON groups (P = 0.006 and P = 0.03, respectively).”

“ D-glucose also increased the incorporation of L-leucine carbon into aspartic acid, GABA and glutamic acid suggesting stimulation of a malate shuttle mechanism.”

“The concentration of γ-aminobutyric acid during incubation with glutamic acid increased with increasing concentration of glucose in the medium, while the concentrations of glutamine and aspartic acid decreased.”

“The energy, ionic, and pH dependence of the influx of labelled L-glutamic … been studied in frog sciatic nerve (1) The addition of 10−2 M D-glucose to the incubation medium was found … inhibit the total influx of glutamic acid from a 10−6 … solution by about 40%.”

“ Glutamic acid transport and its rate of metabolism were lowered in the glucose.”

“Glutamic acid production was found to be growth-associated and glucose significantly enhanced glutamic acid production (1.032 mmol/L) compared to other carbon sources.”

“The rate of absorption of glutamic acid was found to be considerably higher than that of glucose and sucrose.”

“In presence of glucose there was an enhancement in H+ -efflux by 9-fold whereas proline, glutamic acid and lysine showed enhancement by 3, 6 and 1.5-fold respectively.”
