The Claim
Vasopressin stimulates glucose release from perfused rat liver tissue under fed conditions, and this stimulation is attenuated in the presence of insulin or following adrenal gland removal.
What the research says
Supports is higher
Support is ahead, but a single strong opposing study can change this.
These are independent scores, not a percentage. Higher-grade studies count more, so a single strong opposing study can outweigh several weaker ones.
In rat liver tissue exposed to fed conditions, vasopressin increases glucose release, but this increase is lower when insulin is present or when the adrenal glands are removed.
See the scientific wording
Vasopressin stimulates glucose release from perfused rat liver tissue in fed conditions, but this effect is reduced when insulin is present or after adrenal gland removal, indicating an interaction between vasopressin and hormonal regulators of hepatic glucose output.
Vasopressin binds to liver cells and triggers a signal that breaks down stored sugar into glucose, but this only works fully when cortisol is present; insulin blocks this signal, preventing glucose release.
What the research says
1 studyStudy: The control by vasopressin of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in the perfused rat liver.
In a lab experiment with rat livers, the hormone vasopressin made the liver release more sugar, but when insulin was added or the adrenal glands were removed, that sugar boost was weaker—showing that other hormones can turn down vasopressin’s effect.
