Multiple effects of leucine on glucagon, insulin, and somatostatin secretion from the perfused rat pancreas.

abstract：:The uterotropic response of the uterus to 17β-estradiol (E2) is genetically controlled, with marked variation observed depending on the mouse strain studied. Previous genetic studies from our laboratory using inbred mice that are high (C57BL6/J; B6) or low (C3H/HeJ; C3H) responders to E2 led to the identification of q...
