Gluconeogenesis by the Human Kidney

Nature volume 212, pages 1589–1590 (1966)Cite this article

GLUCONEOGENESIS has been demonstrated in slices of renal cortex removed from rats fed on ammonium chloride, whereas rats fed on sodium bicarbonate showed a marked reduction in renal glucose production1.
