Abstract

Glucose and amino acid metabolism in a human enterocyte-like cell line (Caco-2) cultured in a serum- and hormone-free medium was examined and effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on these cells determined. These cells took up glutamine and converted it to alanine and proline. EGF stimulated the metabolism significantly.
