title: Re-incorporation of carbon atoms into plasma glucose in newborn dogs.
abstract: The ratio of the total turnover rate of glucose calculated with [2-3H]glucose as the tracer and the irreversible disposal rate of glucose, calculated with [U-14C]glucose as the tracer was found to be 1.35 +/- 0.28 SD (+/- 0.08 SEM) in dogs 1-33 days of age. This value was unrelated to age and to the level of glucose in the plasma. Accordingly, under basal conditions the overall re-incorporation of carbon atoms into newly released glucose in pups is nearly identical with that found in grown dogs.
