Glucose consumption and lactate production in normal and fluoride adapted LS cells.
The established cell line LS (mouse fibroblasts) has been adapted to grow at otherwise toxic concentrations of fluoride. Different substrains of adapted LS cells consumed less glucose and converted less of the glucose to lactate than the unadapted cells. Differences were also found in the two parameters dependent on the number of generations grown in the presence of fluoride. The more generations with fluoride, the less lactate was produced and the less glucose consumed.
