title: Up-regulation of liver glucose-6-phosphatase in x-linked hypophosphatemic mice.
abstract: We previously showed that a phosphate-deficient diet resulting in hypophosphatemia upregulated the catalytic subunit p36 of rat liver glucose-6-phosphatase, which is responsible for hepatic glucose production. A possible association between phosphate and glucose homeostasis was now further evaluated in the Hyp mouse, a murine homologue of human X-linked hypophosphatemia. We found that in the Hyp mouse as in the dietary Pi deficiency model, serum insulin was reduced while glycemia was increased, and that liver glucose-6-phosphatase activity was enhanced as a consequence of increased mRNA and protein levels of p36. In contrast, the Hyp model had decreased mRNA and protein levels of the putative glucose-6-phosphate translocase p46 and liver cyclic AMP was not increased as in the phosphate-deficient diet rats. It is concluded that in genetic as in dietary hypophosphatemia, elevated glucose-6-phosphatase activity could be partially responsible for the impaired glucose metabolism albeit through distinct mechanisms.
