Abstract

Metabolism is pivotal for formation of the lymphatic vasculature. Understanding metabolism in lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) requires quantitative characterization of specific metabolic pathways. Here we describe methods for using radioactive tracers to assess flux rates of glycolysis, fatty acid β-oxidation, glucose oxidation, and glutamine oxidation. We also provide a detailed method for utilizing mass spectrometry (MS) to measure glycolytic intermediates and ATP.
