Popis: In the isolated perfused rat liver, administration of either glucagon or 3′,5′-AMP is followed by an efflux of Ca 2+ and enhanced glucose formation from lactate or pyruvate. The release of Ca 2+ precedes the increase in glucose production. The Ca 2+ is released from a pool which also accumulates Mn 2+ and Sr 2+ . Addition of either iodoacetate or 2,4-dinitrophenol leads to an increase in total Ca 2+ uptake by the liver, as measured with 45 Ca 2+ , but a decreased accumulation of 45 Ca 2+ into the cyclic nucleotide-sensitive pool. Changes in the concentration of Ca 2+ in the perfusate had little effect upon gluconeogenesis, but the addition of Mn 2+ stimulated gluconeogenesis without altering 3′,5′-AMP concentration. Perfusion of the liver with 1· 10 −4 M tetracaine did not greatly alter the basal rate of glucose formation or O 2 consumption, but did inhibit either 3′,5′-AMP or glucagon-induced gluconegenesis or glycogenolysis, and nucleotide-induced increase in Ca 2+ efflux. Tetracaine did not block the glucagon-induced increase in 3′,5′, AMP.
