Sympathetic denervation decreases VLDL-TG secretion in the fasted state. Sympathetic denervation decreases VLDL-TG secretion in the fasted state. A: Plasma triglyceride levels after intravenous tyloxapol injection in sham and Sx liver-denervated rats. B: Calculated VLDL-TG secretion in sham, Sx, Px, or Tx liver-denervated rats during fasting (one-way ANOVA P = 0.003). C: Norepinephrine values in the liver (one-way ANOVA P < 0.001). Values are means ± SEM of six to nine rats per group. *P < 0.05, **P < 0.01. Eveline Bruinstroop et al. Diabetes 2012;61:1043-1050 ©2012 by American Diabetes Association
