Comparison between wild-type and iNOS-knockout mice under these conditions demonstrated a protective role of iNOS against fatal hypoglycemia. Nitric oxide (NO) signaling effects were confirmed by treatment of hepatocytes in culture with an NO donor, which resulted in increased expression of PGC-1α and gluconeogenic genes.
