Abstract excerpt
Glucokinase (GK) catalyzes the phosphorylation of glucose in beta-cells and hepatocytes, and mutations in the GK gene have been implicated in a form of human diabetes. To investigate the relative role of partial deficiencies in the hepatic vs. pancreatic GK activity, we examined insulin secretion, glucose disposal, and hepatic glucose production (HGP) in response to hyperglycemia in transgenic mice 1) with one...
