Abstract:
Glucose itself regulates endogenous glucose production independently of changes in glucoregulatory hormones. In addition, acute stimulation of gluconeogenesis does not increase net glucose production. This indicates autoregulation of glucose production. Glucokinase plays a role in this process by allowing hepatic glucose sensing.
