Interaction Information:

Comment In mammals, sophisticated hormonal control by insulin, glucagon, glucocorticoids, and cathecholamines maintains blood glucose within narrow limits, orchestrating the uptake and production of glucose. In both the fed state and after 6 h fasting, glucagon levels were higher in L-G6pc-/- mice than in control mice. On the contrary, L-G6pc-/- mice exhibited a lower insulin level than that of control mice after 6 h fasting, but were not hypoinsulinemic in fed state. Corticosterone levels were markedly increased in L-G6pc-/- mice compared with the control mice after 6 h fasting, but not in the fed state. However, the epinephrine and norepinephrine plasma concentrations were similar in both L-G6pc-/- and control mice. This is in agreement with the observation that a hypoglycemic state around 60 mg/dL is mild and does not represent a stressed condition from the metabolic viewpoint, especially in the light of the concomitant increased availability of ketone bodies.
