1. The metabolism of incubated slices of sponge-induced granulation tissue, harvested 4–90 days after the implantation, was studied with special reference to the capacity of collagen synthesis and to the energy metabolism. Data are also given on the nucleic acid contents during the observation period. Three metabolic phases were evident. 2. The viability of the slices for the synthesis of collagen was studied in various conditions. Freezing and homogenization destroyed the capacity of the tissue to incorporate proline into collagen. 3. Consumption of oxygen reached the maximum at 30–40 days. There was evidence that the pentose phosphate cycle was important, especially during the phases of the proliferation and the involution. The formation of lactic acid was maximal at about 20 days. 4. The capacity to incorporate proline into collagen hydroxyproline in vitro was limited to a relatively short period at 10–30 days. 5. The synthesis of collagen was dependent on the supply of oxygen and glucose, which latter could be replaced in the incubation medium by other monosaccharides but not by the metabolites of glucose or tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates.

Calvaria and the metaphyseal and epiphyseal sections of tibia and femora freed of bone marrow from young growing rats were incubated in vitro for 2 hr at 37 C in Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer containing 2 mm glucose. The glucose was labeled either in the 1 position or in the 6 position or uniformly in all positions with C14. The incorporation of C14 into citrate, lactate, and various tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates was studied. The release of C14O2 and the incorporation of C14 into bone matrix were also measured. Results obtained from bones of untreated control, parathyroid extract-treated, and parathyroidectomized animals were compared. It was found that treatment of animals with parathyroid extract increased the total accumulation of labeled citrate and malate as well as the incorporation of these acids into bone mineral. Bones from extract-treated animals also exhibited a significant decrease in the total accumulation of radioactive fumarate, succinate, and pyruvate. Lactate was the major end product of glucose metabolism, but its accumulation was only slightly influenced by parathyroid extract.

In quarter-diaphragms from 40 h-starved rats the rate of glycogen mobilization is sufficient to account for the rate of lactate+pyruvate+alanine production. It is concluded, therefore, that alanine derives its carbon skeleton predominantly via glycolysis and not via synthesis de novo from tricarboxylic acid-cycle intermediates and related amino acids.

The ethylmalonyl-CoA pathway is one of three known anaplerotic pathways that replenish tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates and plays a major role in the carbon metabolism of many alpha-proteobacteria including Methylosinus...

A previous model using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance isotopomer analysis provided for direct measurement of the oxidation of 13C-enriched substrates in the tricarboxylic acid cycle and/or their entry via anaplerotic pathways. This model did not allow for recycling of labeled metabolites from tricarboxylic acid cycle intermediates into the acetyl-CoA pool. An extension of this model is now presented that incorporates carbon flow from oxaloacetate or malate to acetyl-CoA. This model was examined using propionate metabolism in the heart, in which previous observations indicated that all of the propionate consumed was oxidized to CO2 and water. Application of the new isotopomer model shows that 2 mM [3-13C]propionate entered the tricarboxylic acid cycle as succinyl-CoA (an anaplerotic pathway) at a rate equal to 52% of tricarboxylic acid cycle turnover and that all of this carbon entered the acetyl-CoA pool and was oxidized. This was verified using standard biochemical analysis; from the rate (mumol.min-1.g dry wt-1) of propionate uptake (4.0 +/- 0.7), the estimated oxygen consumption (24.8 +/- 5) matched that experimentally determined (24.4 +/- 3).
