Experimental glucose and glutamine consumption fluxes under euglycemia (6.4 mM) and hyperglycemic conditions (23.2 mM in medium).

	Glutamine flux	Glucose flux
Euglycemia (6.4 mM)	0.064	0.86
Hyperglycemia (23.2 mM)	0.035	0.79

Glutamine [Gln] = 3.0 mM at low glucose and 3.4 mM at high glucose. Fglc, glucose consumption flux (mmol/10⁹cells/h) and Fgln, glutamine consumption (mmol/10⁹cells/h). Flux ratios were Fglc/Fgln = 22.4 at high glucose and Fglc/Fgln = 13.5 at euglycemia.
