Abstract excerpt
CCAAT/enhancer binding protein alpha (C/EBP alpha) is a critical factor in glucose metabolism in the neonate as revealed by conventional C/EBP alpha-null mice that do not survive beyond the first day after birth because of severe hypoglycemia and a deficiency in hepatic glycogen accumulation. To elucidate the function of C/EBP alpha in leptin-deficient mouse (ob/ob) liver, a C/EBP alpha-liver null mouse on an...
