Abstract

The pattern of labeling in glycogen, serine, alanine, and aspartic acid has been determined in rats given an intraperitoneal injection of glycerol-1,3-C14. Only slight randomization was observed between carbons 2 and 3 of serine and alanine, and carbons 1 and 2 of glycogen. These results indicate that rat serine is formed rather directly from a 3-carbon intermediate of glycolysis, other than pyruvate. © 1957.
