  • Title: [Effect of tryptophan on gluconeogenesis in the perfused liver of irradiated rats].
    Author: Borovikova GV, Mashkova NIu, Dokshina GA.
    Journal: Radiobiologiia; 1985; 25(5):636-9. PubMed ID: 4070570.
    Abstract:
    The liver isolated at different times after exposure to 7 Gy radiation responded in a different way to the effect of tryptophan (0.75 g/l) used as a gluconeogenesis inhibitor. While 24 h after irradiation the addition of tryptophan inhibited gluconeogenesis from circulating exogenous amino acids, in 3 days, on the contrary, gluconeogenesis in the liver of donors was enhanced. It is suggested that these effects of tryptophan are associated with different functional status of the liver during the postirradiation observation period.
