X Abstract

EL-4 ascites thymoma cells are shown to have high aerobic glycolysis and decreased Pasteur effect. At the same time, glucose produces a much smaller inhibitory effect on cell respiration (Crabtree effect) than in Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) cells. In intact EL-4 cells, the respiratory control ratio (RCR) was found to be 6.2 with endogenous substrates and 8.0 with glutamine. Glucose decreased the RCR to 3.2, by stimulating the state 4 respiration. In rat thymocytes and EAC cells, such an effect of glucose was absent (RCR of 7.0 and 7.2, respectively). It is suggested that in EL-4 tumor cells, the high aerobic glycolysis and small Crabtree effect may be due to glucose-induced 'uncoupling' of oxidation and phosphorylation.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
