Abstract
Sodium propionate stimulated the appearance of pyruvate in saline medium recirculated through rabbit oviduct lumen for 4 h in vivo. The propionate was equally effective whether added to the lumen or infused into the bloodstream. The final lumen pyruvate concentration in the presence of propionate was 1.3 times that in the plasma. Propionate increased the pyruvate content of oviduct tissue slices incubated in vitro, indicating that a proportion of the propionate-stimulated pyruvate appearance could be due to the metabolic conversion of propionate into pyruvate.
