M. musculus pask−/− 16 H fasting
Glucose (10 mM)
Insulin (20 mM)
Increased fasting plasma glucose and glucagon
Impaired inhibition of glucagon secretion
Decreased islet and whole pancreas insulin Increased glucagon secretion
(25)
hPASKOE Glucose (1 mM) Inhibited glucagon release in TC1–9 islets (25)
pask−/− Glucose (1 mM) Constitutive glucagon release in TC1–9 islets (25)
pask−/− Glucose (1mM)
High fat diet (45%)
Decreased insulin levels
Glucose tolerant
Insulin sensitive
Less weight gain
Hypermetabolic (higher O2 consumption, CO2 production and heat generation)
Reduced liver triglyceride accumulation
Increased ATP production
(30)
pask−/− Acute hypoxia Higher hypoxic ventilatory response (31)
hPASK(KD)OE Decreased intracellular insulin in TC1–9 cells (25)
hPASK G1117E Hyperinsulin secretion in CD1 islets (28)

H. Sapiens hPASK G1117E MODY associated (28)

Log is log/exponential phase, SP is stationary phase, OE is overexpression and MODY is Maturity-Onset Diabetes of the Young.
