Abstract
The metabolic fate of Cl4-labeled mannose and fructose in the polymorphonuclear leukocyte of rabbit was studied by determination of the distribution of radioactivity in the glycogen and lactate. There is substantial incorporation of mannose into glycogen and lactate which occurs via the Embden-Meyerhof pathway. Fructose was also metabolized to glycogen and lactate via glycolytic reactions, but in this case the results indicate the presence of an alternative pathway.
