Glucose and glutamine handling in the Sertoli cells of transgenic rats overexpressing regucalcin: plasticity towards lactate production
Sertoli cells (SCs) possess the unparalleled ability to provide the germ line with growth factors and nutrients. Although SCs can oxidize amino acids, e.g., glutamine, they mostly metabolize glucose, producing high amounts of lactate, the germ cells preferential substrate. Regucalcin (RGN) is a calc...
