The effect of
moderate hyperleptinemia (~20 ng/ml) on liver and skeletal muscle
glycogen metabolism was examined in Wistar rats. Animals were studied
~90 h after receiving recombinant adenoviruses encoding rat leptin
(AdCMV-leptin) or -galactosidase (AdCMV- Gal). Liver and skeletal
muscle glycogen levels in the fed and fasted (18 h) states were similar
in AdCMV-leptin- and AdCMV- Gal-treated rats. However, after delivery
of a glucose bolus, liver glycogen levels were significantly greater in
AdCMV-leptin compared with AdCMV- Gal rats
