Impaired hepatic counterregulatory response to insulin-induced hypoglycemia in hepatic denervated pigs

Conclusion. The findings indicate a blunted hepatic counterregulatory response to hypoglycemia following complete hepatic denervation. This implies that intact neural impulses to and from the liver are necessary to maintain the increase in EGP that protects the organism against hypoglycemia.
