Nature, 1968•nature.comGOODMAN et al. 1 have shown that there is enhanced renal gluconeogenesis in the rat with
chronic metabolic acidosis. The enhancement of renal gluconeogenesis with glut-amine,
glutamate, α-ketoglutarate and oxaloacetate, but not with fructose or glycerol as substrates,
led to the tentative conclusions that in acidosis there is acceleration of one of the steps in the
gluconeogenesis pathway distal to oxaloacetate. The results presented here represent an
attempt to define that step.
