Abstract:In rats, a moderately hepatotoxic single dose of diethylnitrosamine (DEN) 100 mg/kg causing depletion of liver glycogen, elevation of aspartate aminotransferase and decreased liver uptake of 3-O-methylglucose, resulted in substantial changes in insulin and glucagon balance. Two days after DEN, insulin binding to liver membranes and insulin removal by the liver were sharply reduced whereas its binding to muscle and adipocyte membranes remained unaltered. Serum insulin (random and after an overnight fast) remain… Show more
