Compare to mice fed the same chow without SecinH3, the expression levels of the insulin-repressed gluconeogenic genes are elevated, whereas the insulin-induced glycolytic genes are reduced in SecinH3-treated mice. Insulin-stimulated Akt phosphorylation is also inhibited in SecinH3-treated mice. The expression of the genes for two key enzymes of mitochondrial β-oxidation, carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1a (Cpt1a) and hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase (Hadha), both of which are repressed by insulin, is increased in the SecinH3-treated mice. It is found significantly increased levels of serum insulin with slightly elevated glucose concentrations in SecinH3-treated mice. Accordingly, 3-hydoxybutyrate is increased in the serum of SecinH3-treated mice.
