... in the other two thirds of the study participants. Among water responders, increased water intake also induced a reduction in fasting glucagon concentration. Key Messages: Elevated copeptin, a measure of vasopressin, is a risk marker of metabolic and cardiorenal diseases and may assist in the detection...

... glucagon values up to 3-fold those of diabetes-free controls; prediabetics displayed a similar pattern. Asymptomatic/diabetes-prone rats also tended to have slightly higher blood cholesterol levels. The low incidence and delayed onset of the syndrome in rats fed a modified AIN-76 diet (27%, 127 ± 21 days...

Gresham The purpose of this study was to investigate the metabolic adaptations of the fetus during maternal starvation and to determine the changes of plasma insulin and glucagon concentrations in the fed state and during severe maternal fasting...

...Richard L. Schreiner; James A. Lemons; Helen Moorehead; Rick Bohnke; Debra Reyman Exogenous glucagon infused into the fetal sheep resulted in an increase in the concentration of glucose and insulin in fetal arterial plasma without a significant change in the concentration of fructose. Lack of any...

.... There was a negative correlation (γ = -0.74) between the serum cholesterol level and the arginine/lysine ratio of dietary protein, suggesting a role of this ratio in determining the serum cholesterol level. In general, the fasting level of circulating insulin was lower whereas that of glucagon was higher on feeding...

... compared with the activity obtained with the diet A (67 vs. 27 µ mol saccharopine/30 min/g liver protein). Repeated intraperitoneal injection of glucagon (259 µ g/100 g body weight/day) showed a short initial drop in the enzyme activity, followed by a marked rise, which remained above the basal level after...
