title: Hormonal effects on gluconeogenesis from (U-14C)glutamate in rainbow trout (Salmo gairdneri).
abstract: Blood glucose was significantly decreased by insulin (4 I.U./kg). Glucagon (1 mg/kg) and Cortisol (5 mg/kg) administration produced a significant hyperglycaemia. Insulin administration did not modify liver glycogen levels. Glucagon showed a marked liver glycogen mobilization. Cortisol stimulated liver glycogen deposition. Insulin and Glucagon showed a significant inverse effect on gluconeogenesis from (U-14C)glutamate, decreasing and increasing 14C-glucose formation respectively. Hormonal treatments did not influence the very low levels of incorporation of (U-14C)glutamate into liver and muscle glycogen.
