Sex-different hepatic glycogen content, glucose and amino acid output in rats.. Rattus norvegicus

In the present study we tested the hypothesis that male and female rat livers respond differently to a change in nutrient availability or to insulin treatment. We compared hepatic gene expression, hepatic glycogen and glucose output, insulin sensitivity and amino acids, using healthy rats. Keywords: Hepatic gene expression, sex-differences Overall design: Two-condition experiment. Biological replicates: 4 male rat livers from rats on a standard diet and 4 female rat livers from rats on a standard diet. One replicate per array.
