Effects of acid-base variables on in vitro hepatic metabolism in rainbow trout

PJ Walsh, TP Mommsen, TW Moon and SF Perry
Department of Biology, University of Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.

The effects of hypercapnia (1% CO2), and the independent effects of changes in extracellular pH (pHe), PCO2 and [HCO3-] on intracellular pH (measured by the DMO method) and lactate metabolism (measured by utilization of 14C-labelled lactate), were examined in rainbow trout hepatocytes in vitro. Simulated uncompensated hypercapnia (high PCO2, low pHe, moderately increased [HCO3-] led to a substantial depression in the production of CO2 (44%) and glucose (51%) from lactate. In simulated compensated hypercapnia (high PCO2, normal pHe, high [HCO3-], metabolism was still significantly inhibited (18-33%). Subsequent multifactorial design experiments determined that variations in PCO2, pH and [HCO3-] independently affected metabolism; increased PCO2 and decreased pH inhibited metabolism, but increased [HCO3-] stimulated metabolism. These results are interpreted in terms of the effects of acid-base variables on enzymatic and transport pathways, and the possible causes of decreased hepatic glycogen stores during in vivo hypercapnia are discussed.
