Tracer-based measurement of hepatic leucine oxidation in response to rising glucagon concentrations and splanchnic balance (measured using arteriovenous differences across the liver) of the other AAs were the main outcomes measured.RESULTSThe presence of hepatic steatosis did not alter hepatic glucose metabolism and leucine oxidation in response to insulin and rising concentrations of glucagon. This evidence concerns the gene GCG and Hepatic steatosis.
