Concentration of cyclic AMP in rat liver as a function of the insulin/glucagon ratio in blood under standardized physiological conditions

HJ Seitz, MJ Muller, P Nordmeyer, W Krone and W Tarnowski

The concentration of insulin and glucagon in peripheral blood and the concentration of cAMP in liver was followed in rats throughout a 48 hour starvation period and up to 6 hours afer refeeding glucose or casein. By so changing the insulin/glucagon molar ratio from minimum to maximum values, simultaneous inverse changes in the concentration of hepatic cAMP could be induced. The study, thus, suggests that during a starvation-refeeding cycle the level of cAMP in the liver is regulated predominantly by the insulin/glucagon ratio in the blood. Possible criticisms of this conclusion are discussed.
