Abstract excerpt
The activities of either the mitochondrial or cytosolic glycerol phosphate dehydrogenase (mGPD, cGPD) plus that of glycerol kinase are required for the use of glycerol in aerobic metabolism and gluconeogenesis. A knockout mouse lacking mGPD has reduced body weight and fertility but shows remarkably normal liver and muscle metabolite levels. The BALB/cHeA mouse strain, which lacks cGPD, breeds well and is...
