Isolated hepatocytes from fed rats were exposed for 120 min to D-glucose (10 mM) and either D-[1-13C]fructose, D-[2-13C]fructose or D-[6-13C]fructose (also 10 mM) in the presence of D2O. The identification and quantification of 13C-enriched D-fructose and its metabolites (D-glucose, L-lactate, L-alanine) in the incubation medium and the measurement of their deuterated isotopomers indicated, by comparison with a prior study conducted in the absence of exogenous D-glucose, that the major effects of the aldohexose were to increase the recovery of 13C-enriched D-fructose, decrease the production of 13C-enriched D-glucose, restrict the deuteration of the 13C-enriched isotopomers of D-glucose to those generated by cells exposed to D-[2-13C]fructose, and to accentuate the lesser deuteration of the C, (as compared to C5) of 13C-enriched D-glucose derived from D-[2-13C]fructose. The ratio between C2-deuterated and C2-hydrogenated L-lactate, as well as the relative amounts of the CH3-, CH2D-, CHD, and CD3- isotopomers of 13C-enriched L-lactate were not significantly different, however, in the absence or presence of exogenous D-glucose. These findings indicate that exogenous D-glucose suppressed the deuteration of the C1 of D-[I-13C]glucose generated by hepatocytes exposed to D-[1-13C]fructose or D-[6-13C]fructose, as otherwise attributable, in part at least, to gluconeogenesis from fructose-derived [3-13C]pyruvate, and apparently favoured the phosphorylation of D-fructose by hexokinase isoenzymes, probably through stimulation of D-fructose phosphorylation by glucokinase.
