title: Renal handling of [(14)C]mannose.
abstract: The uptake of D-[(14)C]mannose by adult rat kidney cortex slices has been examined. The process involved appeared to be saturable and oxygen dependent and to be inhibited by glucose, galactose, chi-methyl-D-glucoside, and phlorizin. Extensive metabolism of the sugar occurred. (14)CO(2) was produced to an extent comparable to that from D-glucose. Radioactive compounds accumulated in the tissue, approximately 50% of which were in the form of phosphorylated or other polar intermediates. The remaining neutral fraction consisted of mannose with a small amount of label in glucose and an unidentified compound which behaves like an alditol. Mannose concentration in the intracellular fluid was never greater than that of the medium.
