Sex-dependent hepatic glycogen content and glucose output. (A) Hepatic glycogen content was quantified in males and females by the amyloglucosidase method (n = 7-9 rats/group). (B) Hepatic glucose output was measured in males and females by in situ liver perfusion (n = 4 rats/group). Levels of glucose production were correlated to corresponding liver dry-weights. Data are represented as means ± SEM, and asterisks indicate significant differences compared to corresponding male (*) or non-starved group (#) as determined by Student's t-test
