“The glucagon pretreatment also altered the carnitine binding characteristics from a two site model to a single binding site.”
“We conclude that glucagon stimulated cellular uptake of carnitine by a mechanism that at least partially operated through increasing the number of available carnitine binding sites in plasma membranes.”
“ Glucagon slightly stimulated carnitine transport into the cells and acetylcarnitine formation, and had a very pronounced stimulatory effect on the synthesis of long-chain acylcarnitines in refed cells.”
