Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
To clearly understand the hyperglycemic action of glucocorticoids, we studied the action of glucagon on lactate gluconeogenesis in the liver of rats 7 days after adrenalectomy and after treatment with 1 mg/kg dexamethasone for 7 days. The liver was isolated and cyclically perfused at 20 ml/min with 25 ml of perfusion medium containing 5 mM lactate, [U- 14 C]lactate, and 0–100 ng/ml glucagon. In the absence of glucagon, incorporation of [ 14 C]lactate into glucose carbon 1 did not change significantly in the adrenalectomized rat liver (1.66 ± 0.12% of total radioactivity for 5 min) and increased in the dexamethasone-treated rat liver (3.61 ± 0.54%, P < 0.01) compared to the normal rat liver (1.99 ± 0.28%). The response of lactate gluconeogenesis to glucagon was extremely blunted in the adrenalectomized rat liver and was much larger in the dexamethasone-treated rat than in the normal rat liver (at a glucagon concentration of 100 ng/ml, 2.13 ± 0.33, 8.55 ± 1.06, and 4.61 ± 0.53% for 5 min, respectively). Glucagon binding to liver plasma membrane was not changed by adrenalectomy and was decreased by dexamethasone treatment. These results suggest that glucocorticoids induce hyperglycemia by increasing the response to glucagon, together with the high basal activity of hepatic gluconeogenesis. In addition, these effects do not occur through changes in glucagon binding to receptors.
