Effect of Global ATGL Knockout on Murine Fasting Glucose Kinetics by Margarida Coelho, Patricia Nunes, Vera M. Mendes, Bruno Manadas, Arend Heerschap, John G. Jones

“…Six-hour fasting EGP rates were identical for both ATGL−/− and control mice (79 ± 11 versus 71 ± 7 μmol/kg/min, resp.). Peripheral glucose metabolism was dominated by Cori cycling (80 ± 2% and 82 ± 7% of glucose disposal for ATGL−/− and control mice, resp.) indicating that peripheral glucose oxidation was not significantly upregulated in ATGL−/− mice under these conditions. …”
