when the oxidation-reduction state in hepatocytes metabolizing dihydroxyacetone is altered by adding an equimolar concentration of ethanol ( to provide cytosolic reducing equivalents ) , the results are similar to those obtained when cells are incubated with the reduced counterpart of dihydroxyacetone , glycerol , i.e. , the peptide hormones cause an apparent increase in the rate of glucose production in a ca2+-dependent manner .
