Abstract
Exogenous glucagon increases hepatic glucose synthesis in part by increasing hepatic extraction of amino acids from blood for conversion to glucose. To examine the role of glucagon in orchestrating gene expression of gluconeogenic and ureagenic enzymes, we determined the mRNA concentrations of key hepatic ureagenic and gluconeogenic enzymes at d 11, 15, and 22 postpartum in multiparous Holstein cows that received 0 or 5 mg of glucagon in 60 mL...
