Fructose 2,6-bisphosphate (Fru-2,6-P2 ) plays an important role in the regulation of major carbohydrate fluxes as both allosteric activator and inhibitor of target enzymes. To examine the role of Fru-2,6-P2in the regulation of hepatic carbohydrate metabolism in vivo,Fru-2,6-P2 levels were elevated in ADM mice with adenovirus-mediated overex-pression of a double mutant bifunctional enzyme, 6-phos-phofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (n¼6), in comparison to normal control mice (control,n¼6). .
