To identify metabolic pathways involved in hepatic lipoapoptosis, metabolic flux analysis
using [U-13 C 5] glutamine as an isotopic tracer was applied to quantify phenotypic changes
in H4IIEC3 hepatoma cells treated with either palmitate alone (PA-cells) or both palmitate
and oleate in combination (PA/OA-cells). Our results indicate that palmitate inhibited
glycolysis and lactate dehydrogenase fluxes while activating citric acid cycle (CAC) flux and
glutamine uptake. This decoupling of glycolysis and CAC fluxes occurred during the period …
