Opposite Effects of Insulin and Glucagon in Acute Hormonal Control of Hepatic Lipogenesis
TL;DR: Conditions for the isolation of rat hepatocytes that are responsive to insulin with regard to fatty acid synthesis were explored and the activity of acetyl-CoA carboxylase correlates with the rate of fatty acids synthesis, which in turn correlates withThe cellular level of malonyl-Coa.
Journal ArticleDOI
Acute effects of insulin on fatty acid metabolism in isolated rat hepatocytes.
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that malonyl-CoA plays an important role in the insulin-mediated control of both ketogenesis and de novo fatty acid synthesis and all metabolic parameters studied are affected by glucagon in a manner opposite to that of insulin.
