Combined actions of glucagon and insulin enhance hepatic glycogen turnover, indicating greater metabolic flexibility.
After a mixed-nutrient meal, meal-derived glucose incorporated into hepatic glycogen was higher than with glucose alone.
Analysis involved injecting glucagon and insulin in fasted wild-type mice to assess their effects on glycogen content and metabolism with tracers used for measurement in the liver's response to meals and hormones effects on metabolism of glycogen. Both hormones alone did not alter glycogen levels; however, their combination enhanced glycogenolysis and storage efficiency, indicating significant implications for conditions like diabetes.
