| Abstract | In order to investigate the roles of lactate as substrate and regulator of hepatic glycogen synthesis, two groups of rat livers were perfused with oxygenated blood for 2 h. The initial perfusate glucose and lactate concentrations of Group I and II were 245 +/- 6.8 and 254 +/- 12.9 mg/dl and 49 +/- 2.6 and 54 +/- 2.2 mg/dl respectively. Labelled glucose was added to the perfusate to assess direct glycogen formation. Either additional glucose (Group I) or lactate (Group II) was added (1 mg/min) to a recirculating liver-perfusion system. Initial lactate uptake and glucose formation was identical in the two groups of studies. For Group I, both glucose and lactate uptake by the liver fell to nearly zero, in spite of increasing glucose concentrations. However, with lactate infusion (Group II), its uptake by the liver was maintained at 0.89 +/- 0.14 mg/min after 120 min. In total, 6.2 +/- 0.7 mg (Group I) or 20.2 +/- 3.9 mg (Group II) of glycogen was formed, 4.0 +/- 0.7 mg or 9.2 +/- 2.0 mg by direct synthesis from glucose and 2.2 +/- 0.3 mg or 11.0 +/- 2.1 mg by gluconeogenic formation, in Groups I and II respectively. With the provision of additional lactate, its uptake by the perfused liver tripled, as did glycogen synthesis. Glucose production doubled when lactate was added instead of glucose. Gluconeogenic formation of glycogen increased by 400%. Surprisingly, direct synthesis from glucose also rose by 130%. These data indicate that continued lactate uptake by the liver with gluconeogenic glycogen formation determines the amount of glycogen formed not only by this route, but also by direct synthesis from glucose. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
