Age-related responses of hepatic glucose uptake to starvation and cold stress in male garden lizards.
The hepatic glucose uptake of male garden lizards did not change during maturation but showed a decline between middle-aged and old age groups. The decline in glucose uptake following starvation and cold stress was age-dependent, the young and middle-aged lizards being more responsive than the old counterparts.
