For any given substrate mixture and hormonal state, a large number of factors serve to regulate the flow of metaboliles along the major pathways of carbohydrate metabolism in hepatocytes. In addition to the amounts of enzymes present, these factors include the intracellular levels of various effectors such as fructose 2, 6-bisphosphate, ADP, ATP, and alanine, among others, and the phosphorylation states of several key enzymes. Enzyme levels are subject to long term regulation by dietary and hormonal influences, while effector levels and the phosphorylation state of regulatory enzymes are subject to moment-to-moment changes in hormonal states. While studies on purified enzymes or on tissue homogenates have contributed enormously to our present understanding of the many factors that help regulate metabolic fluxes, a more completeu~ der standing of in vivo regulation of intermediary metabolism requires studies on perfused liver or, in so far as they can be considered as representative of the intact liver, on isolated hepatocytes. One approach to the problem of measuring flux patterns along major pathways of metabolism is to incubate the cells with a suitable substrate mixture with one substrate in any given experiment being labeled with l4C, and measure the rate of label accumulation in products such as glycogen, lipids, etc., under quasi-steady-state conditions. The theoretical considerations underlying this approach have been reviewed (Blum and Stein, 1982) and will not be repeated here. The method was originally developed in studies on the metabolism of the ciliate Tetrahymena pyriformis, but has been shown to be applicable to isolated hepatocytes (Crawford and Blum, 1983). In this latter study, hepatocytes isolated from fed rats were incubated with a mixture of glucose (10 mM), ribose (1~~),
