Major compounds originating from Fructose (*) and glucose and both(*) metabolism by bovine embryos. Labelling with 14C and determination of the aminio acids by ion exchange chromatography using ninhydrine post column staining (From Guyader Joly et al., Zygote 1996, [49] with permission). Fructose and glucose do not lead to the synthesis of the same aminoacids although a exactly similar pattern should have been observed
