[Role of acetylglutamate in the stimulation of citrullinogenesis by glucagon].

Abstract

Acute glucagon treatment of Rats has been found to increase in liver the intramitochondrial concentration of acetylglutamate which is an activator of carbamylphosphate synthetase l. A part of the stimulation of citrulline formation by glucagon is certainly related to this increase of acetylglutamate concentrations.
