Abstract

1. 1. Ten Holstein steers were fed either 14.2 or 26.2 Mcal ME for 28 days prior to investigating the effect of dietary energy on epithelial metabolism. 2. 2. Rumen papillae were incubated in vitro with glucose (5 mM) or glutamine (1 mM) as well as additional energy substrates. 3. 3. Increased dietary intake increased production of 14CO2 from glucose and glutamine, increased uptake and net lactate production from glucose, and decreased net glutamate and alanine production from glutamine. 4. 4. At these substrate concentrations, rates of glucose oxidation to 14CO2 were sevenfold higher than glutamine.
