Reexamination of glucose-6-phosphatase activity in the brain in vivo: no evidence for a futile cycle

T Nelson, G Lucignani, S Atlas, AM Crane, GA Dienel, and L Sokoloff

Glucose-6-phosphatase activity in the rat brain in vivo was estimated by measuring the differential loss of tritium and carbon-14 from the glucose pool labeled by a mixture of [2-3H]glucose and [U-14C]glucose. The results provide no evidence of significant dephosphorylation of glucose-6-phosphate and do not support the hypothesis of a futile cycle involving glucose-6-phosphatase activity in the brain.
