Distinctive effects of glucagon on gluconeogenesis and ketogenesis in hepatocytes isolated from normal and biotin-deficient rats.


ABSTRACT: In hepatocytes from 48 h-starved rats identical glucagon dose-response curves were obtained for the stimulation of gluconeogenesis from lactate, for ketogenesis and for the decreasing of the C5-dicarboxylate pool. Glucagon (20 nM) caused a 5-fold increase in 3-hydroxybutyrate formation, but decreased acetoacetate production 50% of that of the control. In hepatocytes from biotin-deficient rats glucagon no longer stimulated gluconeogenesis from lactate, but still produced its effects on the mitochondrial redox state and the C5-dicarboxylate pool. The results suggest that the primary site of the hormone action on gluconeogenesis is located within the mitochondria rather than in the cytosol.
