The inhibition of respiration caused by fructose is investigated in hepatocytes isolated
from fetal and developing rats. The respiration rate of the hepatocytes increases in the early days
after birth. Adult values for oxygen uptake are reached by hepatocytes isolated from 14-day-old
rats. After weaning, the Crabtree effect induced by fructose appears simultaneously with changes
in energy metabolism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
