Abstract
Sepsis is associated with a decrease in the intrinsic gluconeogenic capacity of hepatocytes. The mechanism underlying this depression is unknown. This study sought to investigate whether decreased expression of phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK), a rate limiting enzyme in hepatic gluconeogenesis, might contribute to the decreased gluconeogenesis in sepsis. Therefore, we determined the effects of sepsis on the steady-state level of PEPCK...
