1. Non-anaesthetized normal and diabetic rats were fasted for 1 day, and [U-14C]glycine, or [U-14C]serine, or [U-14C]- plus [3-3H]-glucose was injected intra-arterially. The rates of synthesis de novo/irreversible disposal for glycine, serine and glucose, as well as the contribution of carbon atoms by the amino acids to plasma glucose, were calculated from the integrals of the specific-radioactivity-versus-time curves in plasma. 2. The concentrations of both glycine and serine in blood plasma were lower in diabetic than in fasted normal animals. 3. The rates of synthesis de novo/irreversible disposal of both amino acids tended to be lower in diabetic animals, but the decrease was statistically significant only for serine (14.3 compared with 10.5 mumol/min per kg). 4. Of the carbon atoms of plasma glucose, 2.9% arose from glycine in both fasted normal and diabetic rats, whereas 4.46% of glucose carbon originated from serine in fasted normal and 6.77% in diabetic rats. 5. As judged by their specific radioactivities, plasma serine and glycine exchange carbon atoms rapidly and extensively. 6. It was concluded that the turnover of glycine remains essentially unchanged, whereas that of serine is decreased in diabetic as compared with fasted normal rats. The plasma concentration of both amino acids was lower in diabetic rats. Both glycine and serine are glucogenic. In diabetic rats the contribution of carbon atoms from glycine to glucose increases in direct proportion to the increased glucose turnover, whereas the contribution by serine becomes also proportionally higher.
