1 This also suggests that glutamine utilization was, at least in part, masked by concomitant synthesis of glutamine from endogenous substrates via glutamine synthetase. Glutamine glutamate-ammonia ligase Rattus norvegicus
2 Addition of vasopressin (10(-7) M) led to a marked increase in glutamine removal by a dual mechanism: it accelerated flux through glutaminase, the enzyme which initiates the hepatic degradation of glutamine, and inhibited flux through glutamine synthetase. Glutamine glutamate-ammonia ligase Rattus norvegicus
