Abstract
The effects of pancreatic hormones and cyclic AMP on the induction of ketogenesis and long-chain fatty acid oxidation were studied in primary cultures of hepatocytes from fetal and newborn rabbits. Hepatocytes were cultivated during 4 days in the presence of glucagon (10(-6) M), forskolin (2 x 10(-5) M), dibutyryl cyclic AMP (10(-4) M), 8-bromo cyclic AMP (10(-4) M) or insulin (10(-7) M). Ketogenesis and fatty acid metabolism were measured using [1-14C]oleate (0.5 mM). In hepatocytes from fetuses at term, the rate of ketogenesis remained very low during the 4 days of culture. In hepatocytes from 24-h-old newborn, the rate of ketogenesis was high during the first 48 h of culture and then rapidly decreased to reach a low value similar to that measured in cultured hepatocytes from term fetuses. A 48 h exposure to glucagon, forskolin or cyclic AMP derivatives is necessary to induce ketone body production in cultured fetal hepatocytes at a rate similar to that found in cultured hepatocytes from newborn rabbits. In fetal liver cells, the induction of ketogenesis by glucagon or cyclic AMP results from changes in the partitioning of long-chain fatty acid from esterification towards oxidation. Indeed, glucagon, forskolin and cyclic AMP enhance oleate oxidation (basal, 12.7 +/- 1.6; glucagon, 50.0 +/- 5.5; forskolin, 70.6 +/- 5.4; cyclic AMP, 77.5 +/- 3.4% of oleate metabolized) at the expense of oleate esterification. In cultured fetal hepatocytes, the rate of fatty acid oxidation in the presence of cyclic AMP is similar to the rate of oleate oxidation present at the time of plating (85.1 +/- 2.6% of oleate metabolized) in newborn rabbit hepatocytes. In hepatocytes from term fetuses, the presence of insulin antagonizes in a dose-dependent fashion the glucagon-induced oleate oxidation. Neither glucagon nor cyclic AMP affect the activity of carnitine palmitoyltransferase I (CPT I). The malonyl-CoA concentration inducing 50% inhibition of CPT I (IC50) is 14-fold higher in mitochondria isolated from cultured newborn hepatocytes (0.95 microM) compared with fetal hepatocytes (0.07 microM), indicating that the sensitivity of CPT I decreases markedly in the first 24 h after birth. The addition of glucagon or cyclic AMP into cultured fetal hepatocytes decreased by 80% and 90% respectively the sensitivity of CPT I to malonyl-CoA inhibition. In the presence of cyclic AMP, the sensitivity of CPT I to malonyl-CoA inhibition in cultured fetal hepatocytes is very similar to that measured in cultured hepatocytes from 24-h-old newborns.

Abstract
The effect of glucagon on the activity of alcohol dehydrogenase in rat hepatocyte culture was determined. Glucagon concentrations of 0.1 nM enhanced, whereas concentrations greater than 1 nM decreased, alcohol dehydrogenase. These effects became apparent after exposure of the cultures to glucagon for 4 or more days. The presence of corticosterone (1 microM) prevented the enhancing effect of 0.1 nM glucagon on alcohol dehydrogenase activity. The changes in alcohol dehydrogenase caused by glucagon were associated with parallel changes in the rate of ethanol elimination. Alcohol dehydrogenase appears to be rate-limiting for ethanol oxidation, as uncoupling of oxidative phosphorylation did not modify the rate of ethanol elimination. These studies suggest a physiologic role of glucagon in enhancing liver alcohol dehydrogenase activity, whereas higher pharmacologic concentrations of glucagon have an opposite, depressant effect.

Abstract
The nervous control of hepatic urea and glutamine release and of ammonia uptake was studied in the rat liver perfused in situ. Electrical stimulation of the nerve bundles around the hepatic artery and the portal vein resulted in a reduction of urea release, of glutamine output and of ammonia uptake. At the same time, as observed before [Hartmann et al. (1982) Eur. J. Biochem. 123, 521-526], nerve stimulation led to a decrease of portal flow as well as to an increase of glucose release and a shift of lactate uptake to output. Noradrenaline infusion mimicked the nerve-dependent metabolic and hemodynamic changes in a first approximation only at the highly unphysiological concentration of 0.1 microM. It was without effect at 0.01 microM, which might be reached in the sinusoids as a result of overflow from the vasculature. In the presence of sodium nitroprusside nerve stimulation no longer reduced urea output, glutamine release and ammonia uptake or portal flow, yet it still increased glucose and lactate release. Phentolamine clearly reduced the alterations after nervous stimulation of urea output, ammonia uptake and portal flow, while propranolol was essentially not effective. The nerve-stimulation-dependent reduction of glutamine release was almost abolished in the presence of phentolamine and lowered to 50% by propranolol. Glucagon stimulated urea output but had no influence on glutamine release, ammonia uptake and portal flow. Nerve stimulation antagonized the glucagon-stimulated urea release. The present results suggest that in the perfused liver alpha-sympathetic hepatic nerves regulate urea release, glutamine output and ammonia uptake predominantly by an indirect mechanism via hemodynamic alterations, but glucose release by a direct mechanism also in the absence of circulatory changes.

Abstract
The effect of glucagon and the protein content of the diet on the activity of N-acetylglutamate synthetase was studied. The activity of N-acetylglutamate synthetase depended on the protein content of the diet. Glucagon increased the activity of N-acetylglutamate synthetase and reduced the stimulatory effect of arginine. The enzyme of glucose-fed animals became arginine independent. It was concluded that glucagon induced some kind of covalent modification of the synthetase.

Abstract
Mitochondrial glycerophosphate-acetyltransferase activity (GPAT) was determined in the isolated and perfused liver of diet-induced hyperlipemic rats, and was found to be significantly increased compared to normal rats, A positive correlation existed between hepatic triglyceride output and GPAT. Perfusion of 10(-5) M glucagon induced a significant reduction in GPAT levels. It is suggested that the lipid-lowering action of glucagon may be mediated also through an inhibition of GPAT activity.

Abstract
Livers from normal fed male rats were perfused in a recycling system in vitro. Glucagon was infused in varying quantities to give final concentration in the cell-free perfusate of 4.9 . 10(-10)-4.9 . 10(-7) M after 3 h of perfusion, assuming no degradation of the hormone. Where indicated, cyclic somatostatin was infused simultaneously to give a final concentration of 3.0 . 10(-6) M. In the absence of somatostatin, glucagon at a concentration as low as 4.9 . 10(-10) M increased the release of glucose and increased ketogenesis, but impaired the synthesis and release of perfusate triacylglycerol and very low density lipoprotein lipids. Somatostatin did not affect these actions of glucagon. Somatostatin alone, however, did reduce the output of very low density lipoprotein. It is suggested that the alteration of fatty acid metabolism by somatostatin in vivo results from modulation of pancreatic glucagon secretion, not from interference by somatostatin of the action of glucagon on the liver.

Abstract
1. The relationship between urea synthesis, intracellular N-acetylglutamate and the capacity of rat-liver mitochondria to synthesize citrulline was investigated. 2. Treatment of rats with glucagon prior to killing results not only in an increased intramitochondrial ATP concentration and an increased capacity of the mitochondria to synthesize citrulline, but also in an increased concentration of intramitochondrial N-acetylglutamate. 3. Comparison of the rate of citrulline synthesis in mitochondria from glucagon-treated and from control rats, incubated under different conditions, shows that the increased N-acetylglutamate concentration after glucagon treatment is at least in part responsible for the observed increased capacity of the mitochondria to synthesize citrulline. 4. Ureogenic flux in isolated hepatocytes under different incubation conditions correlated with the intracellular concentration of N-acetylglutamate and with the capacity of the mitochondria to synthesize citrulline. 5. When isolated hepatocytes were incubated with NH3, ornithine, lactate and oleate, intracellular N-acetylglutamate increased about eightfold in the first 10 min; during this period the rate of urea synthesis increased considerably. 6. It is concluded that the concentration of intramitochondrial N-acetylglutamate plays an important role in the short-term control of flux through the urea cycle under different nutritional and hormonal conditions.

Abstract
The endocrine-metabolic plasma pattern and the capacity of isolated perfused livers to produce triglycerides and ketone bodies have been studied in genetically and diet-acquired obese rats (Zucker and Sprague-Dawley obese rats), and in control groups of the same strains. An increased plasma insulin/glucagon molar ratio with hyperinsulinaemia and hypoglucagonaemia was associated with hypertriglyceridaemia, normal ketonaemia, elevated free fatty acids and normal or slight hyperglycaemia in obese rats. During oleate perfusion, the livers of Zucker and Sprague-Dawley obese rats showed an increase in triglyceride output and liver triglyceride content. The ketone body output as well as the mitocondrial carnitine palmitoyl transferase activity were normal or slightly decreased. In our rat population, a positive correlation between the insulin/glucagon molar ratio and triglyceride output has been found.

Abstract
The role of glucagon in regulating plasma lipid concentrations (nonesterified fatty acids, ketone bodies, and triglycerides) is reviewed. The effects of glucagon-induced insulin secretion upon this lipid regulation are discussed that may resolve conflicting reports in the literature are resolved. In addition, the unresolved problem concerning the pharmacologic versus physiologic effects of glucagon is stressed. Glucagon's role in stimulating lipolysis at the adipocyte serves two important functions. First, it provides plasma nonesterified fatty acids for energy metabolism and secondly, it ensures substrate for hepatic ketogenesis. In vitro, glucagon's lipolytic activity has been consistently observed, but in vivo, this activity has sometimes been obscured by the effects of glucagon-induced insulin secretion. Frequently, a biphasic response has been reported in which a direct lipolytic response is followed by a glucagon-induced insulin suppression of plasma nonesterified fatty acid concentration. When the glucagon-induced insulin secretion has been controlled by various in vivo techniques, glucagon's lipolytic activity in vivo has frequently been demonstrable. In the 1960s, in vitro liver perfusion experiments demonstrated that glucagon enhanced hepatic ketogenesis independent of glucagon's lipolytic activity. However, this direct effect of glucagon on the hepatocyte was not universally accepted because of conflicting reports in the literature. Failure to observe an in vitro ketogenic effect of the hormone in some studies may have been due to suboptimal experimental conditions. Certain factors are now known to influence the ketogenic response, such as the concentration of fatty acids in the media and the nutritional status of the animal. Under optimal in vitro conditions with liver preparations from fed animals, the ketogenic response to physiologic concentrations of glucagon has been demonstrated. However, further study is necessary to define the quantitative ketogenic role of the hormone. In spite of this early in vitro work, glucagon was not definitely shown to be ketogenic in vivo (independent of fatty acid availability) both in the rat and in diabetic man until 1975. Since these observations, several reports have confirmed the ketogenic action of glucagon in vivo by direct hepatic catheterization experiments. Glucagon's role in decreasing hepatic triglyceride synthesis and secretion in vitro has been repeatedly shown but the mechanism is unresolved. This lipid regulatory action of glucagon has been more difficult to demonstrate in vivo because of the many variables that affect triglyceride synthesis. Under specific experimental conditions, however, glucagon has been shown to decrease plasma triglyceride concentration in man at both physiologic and pharmacologic concentrations. Hepatic catheterization experiments have also confirmed this effect in man. The regulation of lipids by glucagon fits well into its role as a stress hormone...

Abstract
The effects of dibutyryl cyclic adenosine 3',5'-monophosphate (Bu2cAMP) on metabolism of free fatty acids by perfused livers from normal fed male rats were investigated. In one group of experiments, Bu2cAMP was added to the medium and infused at a constant rate to maintain concentrations of 0, 0.4, 1.0, 4.0, or 10. 0 X 10(-5) M nucleotide in the perfusate plasma, assuming the nucleotide was not metabolized by the liver. Oleic acid was infused as the complex with albumin at the rate of 124.3 mumoles/hr. Uptake of free fatty acid by the liver was identical in all groups. Production of ketone bodies, however, increased, and output of triglyceride decreased with increasing concentration of Bu2cAMP. The nucleotide also stimulated output of glucose. Maximal effects were observed when the concentration of Bu2cAMP was approximately 2-3 X 10(-5) M. The output of very low density lipoproteins, as judged by flotation in the zonal ultracentrifuge, was also diminshed by the nucleotide. In other experiments, 1-14C-oleate was infused (120.8 mumoles/hr) along with 2 X 10(-5) M Bu2cAMP, and the disposition of 14C into CO2, ketone bodies, and esterified lipids was evaluated. Bu2cAMP depressed the proportion of 1-14C-oleate converted to triglyceride and increased the fraction converted to ketone bodies and CO2. Not only was ketogenesis stimulated, but a larger proportion of the ketone bodies was derived from exogenous fatty acid.

Abstract
The procedure of Berry and Friend for isolation of intact hepatocytes has been adapted to mouse livers. The ultrastructure of these cells was satisfactorily preserved. Isolated mouse hepatocytes secreted proteins and triacylglycerols. These secretory processes were inhibited by colchicine, indicating a likely involvement of the microtubular system for their normal occurrence. Ultracentrifugation of medium incubated with hepatocytes, followed by electrophoresis and electron microscopic examination of the floating fraction (density less than 1.006) allowed to conclude that secreted triacylglycerols were very low density lipoproteins. Glycogenolysis and lipogenesis were stimulated or inhibited, respectively, by low concentrations of glucagon (10(-10) M). Other metabolic parameters were influenced by the hormone but were less sensitive to its action. Inhibition of lipogenesis by glucagon was associated with a decrease in acetyl CoA carboxylase activity. This decrease does not appear to be related to intracellular fatty acyl-CoA accumulation secondary to hepatic lipase activation by the hormone. Insulin was effective alone or counteracted glucagon effects on lipogenesis or glycogenolysis only when exposure of cells to collagenase was held minimal. This suggests that, during isolation of hepatocytes, insulin receptors may, for unknown reasons, be more fragile than those of glucagon.

Abstract
Two trials were to study alloxan diabetes in goats. The data were grouped: 1) normal fed goats (10); 2) 48-h fasted goats (5); 3) fed goats sampled 96 h after alloxan treatment (5); and 4) goats treated with alloxan following a 48-h fast and sampled 96 h after alloxan treatment with continued fasting (3). Groups 1 and 4 exhibited the following means: serum insulin 43.9, 16.4, 9.4, and 6.7 muU/ml; blood glucose 55.0, 47.3, 219.6, and 485.6 mg/100 ml; blood ketones 4.3, 2.6, 36.6, and 28.6 mg/100 ml; blood acetate 4.7, 4.0, 42.7, and 4.9 mg/100 ml; plasma-free fatty acids 1.8, 10.0, 14.4, and 40.5 mg/100 ml; and plasma triglyceride 13.3, 7.0, 47.6, and 12.2 mg/100 ml. Liver samples from five fed goats before and 12 days after alloxan treatment exhibited the following means: phospholipid 27.5 and 26.1 mg/g; triglyceride 21.2 and 98.9 mg/g; and percent lipid 7.2 and 14.4. The diabetes was accompanied by fatty liver development and probably reduction in utilization of acetate and triglyceride in the fed animals.

Abstract
The effect of glucagon and insulin on the paneth cells (PC) of the duodenum of the mouse was investigated using light microscopy. Both glucagon and insulin were able to increase significantly the number of the secretory granules of PC. This possibly means that these hormones are capable of inhibiting the secretion of PC.

Abstract
Arginine-induced insulin and glucagon secretion preceding and following clofibrate treatment was studied in 13 patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia. A positive correlation was demonstrated between fasting insulin and triglyceride levels and between the fasting insulin/glucagon molar ratio and triglyceride levels. In patients with endogenous hypertriglyceridemia, anginine infusion induced a significantly increased glucagon response with respect to that found in controls. No correlation was found to exist between glucagon and free fatty acids (FFA) or between glucagon and triglyceride levels. The same lack of correlation was found in normal subjects rendered hypertriglyceridemic by means of Intralipid infusion, which did not modify the fasting glucagon-like immunoreactivity (GLI) or the GLI response to arginine. Clofibrate treatment induces a triglyceride reduction (incrementTG) which is correlated with the reduction in the insulin/glucagon molar ration (incrementI/G). After clofibrate treatment there is also a significant reduction in fasting GLI levels and in the insulin response to arginine, and an increase in the glucagon response. Clofibrate could exercise its hypolipidemic effect by modifying the relationship between insulin and glucagon levels.
