Propionate (1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64 mumol.kg BW-1.min-1 for 30 min) was infused into the femoral and mesenteric veins of adult sheep to investigate the physiological significance of propionate in regulating plasma insulin and glucagon concentrations. The increments in arterial blood propionate concentrations during propionate infusion increased (P < .001) with increasing infusion rates for b...
