The effects of inhibition of gluconeogenesis in suckling newborn rats.

ABSTRACT: Inhibition of gluconeogenesis with 3-mercaptopicolinate in suckling newborn rats caused a fall in blood [glucose], but no change in their high plasma [free fatty acid] and blood [ketone bodies]. Active gluconeogenesis seems to be more important than sparing of glucose by high concentrations of fat-derived substrates for the maintenance of normal blood [glucose] in suckling newborn rats.
