01 Whole body glucose flux

INTRODUCTION


Glucose metabolism provides fuel for supporting body function via the generation of ATP.

It contains multiple processes such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis.
Whole body glucose flux can reflect the net balance between glucose production from liver or exogenous energy vs. 
glucose intake into tissues such as brain, muscle, etc. Using labeled glucose (deuterium (D) or carbon (13C)), we can determine whole body glucose flux.

02  Gluconeogenesis

INTRODUCTION


Hepatic glucose production is a major source to maintain blood glucose level.
Thus, gluconeogenesis (GNG) from each substrate such as lactate, alanine, etc.
can reflect the contrbution of glucose production from the substrates.
Using labeled precursors such as
13C-lactate, 13C- alanine, 13C- glycerol, etc.,
we can determine rates and fractional contrbution of GNG from each precursor.

03  Glucose oxidation 

INTRODUCTION


Glucose is metabolized in oxidative phosphorylation process, leading to production of ATP and CO2. Glucose oxidation can reflect the capacity of glucose utilization via glycolysis and TCA cycle.
Using carbon-labeled glucose (13C), we can determine in vivo glucose oxidation.

04  TCA cycle flux 

INTRODUCTION


The generation of ATP is determined mainly by TCA cycle which is composed of a series of chemical reactions provided by stored energy such as glucose, fats, and amino acids.
The metabolites flux in TCA cycle can reflect capacity of producing ATP.
Using carbon-labeled precursors including
13C-glucose, 13C-lactate, 13C-glutamine, etc.,
we can determine in vivo TCA cycle flux.

01  Whole body glucose flux

INTRODUCTION


Glucose metabolism provides fuel for supporting cellular functions via the generation of ATP.
 It contains multiple processes such as glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, and glycogen synthesis. At basal fasted states, the rate of appearance (Ra) of glucose which is equal to the rate of disappearance (Rd) of glucose reflects mainly hepatic glucose production or HGP (derived from gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis). In fed state where exogenous glucose appears into the circulation in addition to HGP. Using labeled glucose with heavier stable isotopes (deuterium (D) or carbon (13C)), we can determine whole body glucose flux (Ra or Rd glucose).
