Table 3.

Specific activities of amino acids in cerebellar granule cells incubated with [1-14C]pyruvate or [2-14C]pyruvate in the presence and absence of 3-nitropropionic acid

Aspartate Glutamate Alanine
[1-14C]Pyruvate, Control 105  ± 24 7.7  ± 2.7 134  ± 10
[1-14C]Pyruvate, 3-NPA 249  ± 36* 5.7  ± 2.0 64.0  ± 20.6*

Cerebellar granule cells were incubated for 60 min with [1-14C]pyruvate and 3-nitropropionic acid (3-NPA), an inhibitor of succinate dehydrogenase. Values are dpm/nmol, means ± SEM. *Different from control value; p < 0.05, Student's t test.
