Role of the liver in regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in hagfish, Eptatretus stouti

Enzyme activities in the Atlantic hagfish, Myxine glutinosa: changes with captivity and food deprivation

“…Increased muscle PEP CK activities in food-deprived hagfish may indicate a role for muscle in glycogenesis, as suggested in mammals (e.g., McLane and Holloszy 1979) and teleost (e.g., Hulbert and Moon 1978). Hepatectomy does not affect carbohydrate homeostasis in the Pacific hagfish (Inui and Gorbman 1978), which further supports a glycogenic role for muscle. The general maintenance of the amino acid metabolizing enzymes (Fig.…”

The Agnathan Enteropancreatic Endocrine System: Phylogenetic and Ontogenetic Histories, Structure, and Function

“…However, there appears to be marked interspecific variation among hagfishes in the response to insulin; E. stouti requires a smaller dosage and the hypoglycemic response is more prolonged than in M. glutinosa (Matty and Falkmer, 1965;Inui and Gorbman, 1977). Insulin also seems to be important in protein synthesis in E. stouti (Inui and Gorbman, 1978).…”
