The rates of conversion of D-(-)-3-hydroxy[3-14C]butyrate, [3-14C]acetoacetate, [6-14C]glucose and [U-14C]glutamine into 14CO2 were measured in the presence and absence of alternative oxidizable substrates in intact dissociated cells from the brains of young and adult rats. When unlabelled glutamine was added to [6-14C]glucose or unlabelled glucose was added to [U-14C]glutamine, the rate of 14CO2 production was decreased in both young and adult rats. The rate of oxidation of 3-hydroxy[3-14C]butyrate was also decreased by the addition of unlabelled glutamine in both age groups, but in the reverse situation, i.e. unlabelled 3-hydroxybutyrate added to [U-14C]glutamine, only the brain cells from young rats were affected. No significant effects were seen when glutamine and acetoacetate were combined. The addition of either of the two ketone bodies to [6-14C]glucose markedly lowered the rate of 14CO2 production in young rats, but in the adult only 3-hydroxybutyrate was effective and the magnitude of decrease in the rate of [6-14C]glucose oxidation was much lower than in young animals. Unlabelled glucose decreased the rate of [3-14C]acetoacetate oxidation to a minor extent in brain cells from both age groups; when added to 3-hydroxy[3-14C]butyrate, glucose had no effect in young rats and greatly enhanced 14CO2 production in adult brain cells. Many of these patterns of substrate interaction in dissociated brain cells differ from those in whole homogenates; they may be a function of the plasma membranes and the role of a carrier-mediated transport system or a reflection of a difference in the population of cell types or subcellular organelles in these two preparations.
