Sympathetic nerves to the intact liver of the cat were selectively destroyed by injection of 6-hydroxydopamine into the portal vein 1 week prior to the experiment. Glucose output was calculated from the product of the arterial–venous glucose difference and hepatic blood flow. Hepatic blood flow was monitored by an electromagnetic flowmeter using a hepatic venous long-circuit. Stimulation of the parasympathetic nerves isolated from around the common hepatic artery produced a rapid reduction in hepatic glucose output to one-quarter of control levels by 2 min and to zero by 10 min of nerve stimulation. The data show that hepatic glucose balance is readily influenced by the hepatic parasympathetic nerves.
