Zusammenfassung:1  Gifford Laboratories for Diabetes Research and Department of Biochemistry, University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, Dallas, Texas 75235; and 2  Department of Pathology and Pharmacology, University of Washington, Seattle, Washington 98195 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 ( P
