Abstract excerpt
Hepatic insulin resistance is one of the characteristics of type 2 diabetes and contributes to the development of hyperglycemia. How changes in hepatic glucose flux lead to insulin resistance is not clearly defined. We determined the effects of decreasing the levels of hepatic fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (F26P(2)), a key regulator of glucose metabolism, on hepatic glucose flux in the normal 129J mice. Upon...
