Abstract
- Post-absorptive gluconeogenesis from lactate measured in vivo increases 3-fold in 24-month-old rats compared to 3-month-old animals. Fractional lactate turnover rates showed no significant differences between the two groups of animals. Lower plasma glucose concentrations and insulin-glucagon ratios may explain the increase in gluconeogenesis observed in aged rats.
