Angiotensin II or epinephrine hemodynamic and metabolic responses in the liver of L-NAME induced hypertension and spontaneous hypertensive rats

Table 1 Serum parameters and glycogen content

Group	Glycemia (mg/dL)	n	Insulinemia (ng/mL)	n	Glycogen content (mg/100 mg liver)	n
WIS	75.4 ± 4.2	9	2.1 ± 0.4	12	2.9 ± 0.2	10
L-NAME	80.7 ± 7.5	8	2.0 ± 0.4	12	2.3 ± 0.2	10
WKY	76.9 ± 4.0	9	3.8 ± 0.6	12	2.8 ± 0.2	10
SHR	86.2 ± 4.0	8	2.7 ± 0.4	13	2.8 ± 0.2	10

Serum and liver fragment for glycogen content measurement were collected before the liver perfusion experiment. Values are expressed as mean ± SEM. Student’s t-test; L-NAME vs WIS and SHR vs WKY. WIS: Similar to normal rats; SHR: Spontaneously hypertensive rat; WKY: Wistar Kyoto.
