1. The regulatory effects that adenine nucleotides are known to exert on enzymes of glycolysis and gluconeogenesis were demonstrated to operate in kidney-cortex slices and in the isolated perfused rat kidney by the addition of exogenous ATP, ADP and AMP to the incubation or perfusion media. 2. Both preparations rapidly converted added ATP into ADP and AMP, and ADP into AMP; added AMP was rapidly dephosphorylated. AMP formed from ATP was dephosphorylated at a lower rate than was added AMP, especially when the initial ATP concentration was high (10mm). Deamination of added AMP occurred more slowly than dephosphorylation of AMP. 3. Gluconeogenesis from lactate or propionate by rat kidney-cortex slices, and from lactate by the isolated perfused rat kidney, was inhibited by the addition of adenine nucleotides to the incubation or perfusion media. In contrast, oxygen consumption and the utilization of propionate or lactate by slices were not significantly affected by added ATP or AMP. 4. The extent and rapidity of onset of the inhibition of renal gluconeogenesis were proportional to the AMP concentration in the medium and the tissue, and were not due to the production of acid or P(i) or the formation of complexes with Mg(2+) ions. 5. Glucose uptake by kidney-cortex slices was stimulated 30-50% by added ATP, but the extra glucose removed was not oxidized to carbon dioxide and did not all appear as lactate. Glucose uptake, but not lactate production, by the isolated perfused kidney was also stimulated by the addition of ATP or AMP. 6. In the presence of either glucose or lactate, ATP and AMP greatly increased the concentrations of C(3) phosphorylated intermediates and fructose 1,6-diphosphate in the kidney. There was a simultaneous rise in the concentration of malate and fall in the concentration of alpha-oxoglutarate. 7. The effects of added adenine nucleotides on renal carbohydrate metabolism seem to be mainly due to an increased concentration of intracellular AMP, which inhibits fructose diphosphatase and deinhibits phosphofructokinase. This conclusion is supported by the accumulation of intermediates of the glycolytic pathway between fructose diphosphate and pyruvate. 8. ATP or ADP (10mm) added to the medium perfusing an isolated rat kidney temporarily increased the renal vascular resistance, greatly diminishing the flow rate of perfusion medium for a period of several minutes.
