To test the hypothesis that fetal hepatic glutamate output diverts the products of hepatic amino acid metabolism from hepatic gluconeogenesis, ovine fetal hepatic and umbilical uptakes of glucose and glucogenic substrates were measured before and during fetal glucagon-somatostatin (GS) infusion and during the combined infusion of GS, alanine, glutamine, and arginine. Before the infusions, hepatic uptake of lactate, alanine, glutamine, arginine, and other substrates was accompanied by hepatic output of pyruvate, aspartate, serine, glutamate, and ornithine. The GS infusion induced hepatic output of 1.00 ± 0.07 mol glucose carbon/mol O2 uptake, an equivalent reduction in hepatic output of pyruvate and glutamate carbon, a decrease in umbilical glucose uptake and placental uptake of fetal glutamate, an increase in hepatic alanine and arginine clearances, and a decrease in umbilical alanine, glutamine, and arginine uptakes. The latter result suggests that glucagon inhibits umbilical amino acid uptake. We conclude that fetal hepatic pyruvate and glutamate output is part of an adaptation to placental function that requires the fetal liver to maintain both a high rate of catabolism of glucogenic substrates and a low rate of gluconeogenesis.

The influence of root initiation medium pH on root formation was investigated in relation to uptake and metabolism of applied IBA in microcuttings of Malus ×domestica Borkh. `Gala' and `Triple Red Delicious'. Root formation and uptake of H3-IBA were related inversely to root initiation medium pH. Maximum root count (10.3 roots) and IBA uptake were observed at pH 4.0. Regardless of pH, overall root count of `Gala' was higher (13.5 roots) than `Triple Red Delicious' (4 roots). Uptake of IBA was highest at pH 4.0 for `Gala' (1.7% uptake) and at pH 4 and 5 for `Triple Red Delicious' (0.75% uptake). Metabolism of IBA was the same regardless of root initiation medium pH or cultivar examined. One-half of the IBA taken up was converted to a compound that coeluted with IBAsp during high-performance liquid chromatography. Apparently, pH regulates root formation by affecting IBA uptake but not metabolism. The level of auxin in tissue appeared unrelated to root formation between genotypes. Chemical names used: 1H-indole-3-butyric acid (IBA); 5-H3-indole-3-butyric acid (H3-IBA); indole-3-butrylaspartic acid (IBAsp).
