Lactate has been found to enhance the formation of glycogen from both glucose and lactate as substrate (Z. Zhang and J. Radziuk. Biochem. J. 280: 415–419, 1991). To evaluate the relative importance of its role as substrate and regulatory factor, a dual dose-response evaluation was done by adding variable amounts of glucose and lactate to the medium in a recirculating perfused rat liver preparation. Nine groups of perfusions were performed utilizing three different levels of carbon infusion into the system: 0.25, 1.0, and 2.0 mg/min. These levels of carbon infusion were further subdivided into different relative amounts of glucose and lactate. Lactate uptake by the perfused liver was linearly related with net glucose output, regardless of the glucose concentrations. In contrast to this, the effect of lactate uptake on the rate of glycogen synthesis is saturable. Moreover, the rate of glycogen formation at which this saturation occurs is dependent only on the mean perfusate glucose concentration. The highest amount of glycogen formed in a 2-h period was 50 +/- 7 mg and the lowest 3.4 +/- 0.3 mg. A family of dose-response curves was generated describing this dual dependence of glycogen formation (both direct and gluconeogenetic pathways) on lactate and glucose.

1. Perfused rat livers were subjected to an acid perfusate and varying degrees of ischaemia in an attempt to simulate the conditions of strenuous exercise or shock. 2. Lactate uptake and glucose output from the liver decreased during moderate ischaemia alone and more so when, in addition, the perfusate was made acidic. 3. Hepatic ATP and ADP content increased in the presence of an acid perfusate. 4. It is concluded that both ischaemia and acidosis may contribute to the diminished hepatic uptake of lactic acid in strenuous exercise and shock.

1. The relationship between extracellular pH (pHe), intracellular pH (pHi) and lactate uptake was studied in the isolated perfused rat liver during simulated metabolic acidosis. 2. pHi fell to a considerably less extent than pHe when the latter was decreased from pH 7·4 to 6·7. 3. The liver took up lactate when pHi was greater than 7·0; at lower values of pHi lactate output occurred. 4. The relevance of these observations to the control of hepatic pHi and lactate metabolism is discussed.

1. The effects of varying Pco2 on lactate uptake and intracellular pH (pHl) were studied in the isolated rat liver perfused with differing concentrations of lactate. 2. In general, pHl and lactate uptake are inversely related to Pco2, and pHl and lactate uptake are directly related to each other, but the quantitative aspects and significance of these relationships vary with the availability of lactate. A model of hepatic lactate metabolism is proposed which may account for the quantitative variation. 3. The metabolism of lactate within the hepatocyte exerts a destabilizing effect on hepatocyte cell pH, in contrast to the buffering effect seen in predominantly glycolytic tissues. 4. An attempt is made to relate the findings to the disturbances of lactate metabolism in clinical respiratory failure.
