  1. Isotopologues (m0, non-labeled; m1, containing one 13C isotope; m2, two 13C isotopes, etc) produced by isolated hepatocytes from glucose as the only substrate contained 50% of [1,2-13C2]D-glucose were measured in glucose from medium, glucose from glycogen and its fragments, lactate, and fragments of glutamate after two hours of incubation. The measurements are presented as mean ± standard deviation. The data were simulated using two models that either accounted for channeling or suggested a single "mixed" pool of hexose phosphates in accordance with the schemes presented in Figure 1. The fitting was performed using a stochastic algorithm described in Methods. The difference between the best fit and experimental data (χ2, see Methods) are shown for each metabolite and summarized for the whole set of data.
