The distal enzymatic step in the process of glucose output is catalyzed by the glucose-6-phosphatase (Glc-6-Pase) complex. The recently cloned catalytic unit of this complex has been shown to be regulated by insulin, dexamethasone, cAMP, and glucose. Using a combination of intralipid and/or nicotinic acid infusions and a pancreatic clamp technique, we maintained plasma free fatty acids (FFAs) at three different levels (0.26 +/- 0.07, 0.56 +/- 0.09, and 1.59 +/- 0.12 mmol/l) in the presence of well-controlled hormonal and metabolic conditions. An increase in the plasma FFA concentration within the physiological range caused a rapid, greater than threefold increase in the mRNA and protein levels of the catalytic subunit of Glc-6-Pase in the liver. These data indicate that the in vivo gene expression of Glc-6-Pase in the liver is regulated by circulating lipids independent of insulin and thus that prolonged hyperlipidemia may contribute to the increased production of glucose via increased expression of this protein.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.
