  • Title: Regulation of lipogenesis and of non-saponifiable-lipid synthesis in vivo at birth and after prolonged starvation in the newborn rat.
    Author: Benito M, Lorenzo M, Caldés T.
    Journal: Biochem J; 1984 Dec 15; 224(3):823-8. PubMed ID: 6395860.
    Abstract:
    The rate of lipogenesis in the liver was increased by glucose injection at birth, mediated by the insulin secretion. In addition, glucagon decreased the rates of lipogenesis and non-saponifiable-lipid synthesis after birth. These rates decreased after prolonged starvation in the newborn rat. Tri-iodothyronine injection increased the rates of lipogenesis enhanced in response to glucose administration after prolonged starvation in liver and brown adipose tissue. Dexamethasone, however, increased the rates of lipogenesis enhanced in response to glucose in liver and prevented the increase in the rates of lipogenesis in brown adipose tissue.
