Abstract
We have studied rates of formation of glucose, urea and lactate by isolated hepatocytes incubated with a variety of inhibitors of energy transduction. Linear relationships have been found between these metabolic rates and mitochondrial forces (membrane, redox and phosphorylation potentials). The findings are suggestive of extensive enzyme organization within these metabolic pathways.
