Abstract
Isolated thymocytes were incubated with various carbohydrates in the presence of dimethyltindichloride (DMTC), diethyltindichloride (DETC), di-n-butyltindichloride (DBTC), and di-n-octyltindichloride (DOTC) and the substrate conversion, oxygen consumption, and cell viability were measured. All the dialkyltin compounds produced a dose-dependent stimulation of the glucose consumption, but at different concentrations. The most toxic
