Global InformationHepatalin information
Hepatalin is a hormone produced by the liver after feeding and plays a central role in the partitioning of the storage of nutrient energy by its action on glucose uptake and formation of glycogen in muscle. Hepatalin accounts for the majority of postprandial glucose uptake.
Hepatalin secretion from the liver is regulated by three signals: a hepatic parasympathetic-mediated signal, elevated hepatic glutathione (GSH), and pulses of insulin.[1]
