Figure 3Glucose metabolism in fed and fasted LGsKO mice. (
A) Blood glucose was measured at indicated times before and after glucagon administration in LGsKO (filled triangles) and control (filled squares) mice (
n = 5/group). Serum glucose (
B), insulin (
C), and corticosterone (Cortico;
D) levels in fed (left) and fasted (right) LGsKO and control mice (
n = 5–7/group). (
E) Urine norepinephrine (NE) and epinephrine (Epi) levels corrected for urine creatinine in overnight-fasted mice (
n = 9/group). (
F) Liver glycogen content in fed and 16-hour- and 24-hour-fasted mice (
n = 6–7/group). *
