Comparison between different mouse strains. Several commonly used mouse strains (C57BL/6, Balb/c and 129 SvEv) were compared using [1-13C]pyruvate. A) Label incorporation into bicarbonate was found to be similar between the C57BL/6 and balb/c, it was however significantly elevated in the 129 SvEv. B) Label incorporation into lactate was significantly reduced in the balb/c mouse, compared to C57BL/6. C) No difference was seen in alanine. All results are expressed as the mean ± SEM. * p < 0.05 and ** p < 0.01 vs C57BL/6 and $$ p < 0.01 compared to Balb/c.
