Cysteine stimulation of glucose oxidation in thyroid tissue.

Oxidation of D-glucose-C(14) by bovine thyroid slices was stimulated by cysteine, 2-aminoethanethiol, and cystamine. Amino acids tested, other than cysteine, were not stimulatory, except tyrosine and arginine to a slight degree. The pattern of stimulation resembled that brought about by thyroid-stimulating hormone. Stimulation of labeled CO(2) production was greater when glucose-1-C(14) rather than glucose-6-C(14) was the substrate.
