Abstract excerpt
Fifty percent of the mice homozygous for a deletion in the gene for CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein beta (C/EBP beta-/- mice; B phenotype) die within 1 to 2 h after birth of hypoglycemia. They do not mobilize their hepatic glycogen or induce the cytosolic form of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK). Administration of cAMP resulted in mobilization of glycogen, induction of PEPCK mRNA, and a normal blood...
