Resumo: 	The responsiveness of glycogen breakdown to cAMP was investigated in isolated perfused liver from male Wistar fed rats (200-220 g) with insulin-induced hypoglycemia. The activation of glycogenolysis by 3 µM cAMP was decreased (P&lt;0.05) in livers from rats with hypoglycemia induced by the administration of insulin or during the direct infusion of insulin into the isolated liver. The direct effect of insulin on glycogen catabolism promoted by 3 µM cAMP occurred as early as 3 min after starting insulin infusion. In contrast, the cAMP agonists resistant to phosphodiesterases, 8Br-cAMP and 6MB-cAMP, used at the same concentration as cAMP, i.e., 3 µM, did not modify the effect of insulin. The data suggest that the decreased hepatic responsiveness of glycogen breakdown during insulin-induced hypoglycemia is a direct effect of insulin decreasing the intracellular levels of cAMP.
