The role of hormones in regulation of carbohydrate metabolism in the Australian lungfish Neoceratodus forsteri.
Adrenaline, arginine vasopressin, arginine vasotocin, and glucagon, all at 10(-6) M, stimulate glycogen breakdown and glucose release from hepatic tissue of Neoceratodus forsteri cultured in vitro. Adrenaline acts via a beta-adrenergic receptor in this species. Gluconeogenesis from 2 mM lactate occurred at a rate of 680 +/- 39 nmol/g liver/h. This rate of gluconeogenesis was unaffected by the addition of 10(-6) M adrenaline.
