The influence of dobutamine on glucoregulation has been assessed in the rat during and after an intravenous infusion given at the following doses: 0, 0.1, 1.0, 10, 100, and 1000 micrograms X kg-1 X min-1. Plasma glucose, insulin, and glucagon levels were measured at 15-min intervals in unanesthetized previously cannulated rats. Basal glucose levels were preserved with the less than or equal to 10 micrograms X kg-1 X min-1 doses. At the greater than or equal to 100 micrograms X kg-1 X min-1 doses, a marked hyperglycemic effect was observed, partly attributable to some inhibitory effect of dobutamine on glucose-induced insulin secretion and to its stimulatory effect on glucagon secretion. Such data suggest that dobutamine may disturb the normal glucose homeostasis, particularly in situations of deficient insulin reserve. 相似文献

Defects in insulin secretion and/or action contribute to the hyperglycemia of stressed and diabetic patients, and we hypothesize that failure to suppress glucagon also plays a role. We examined the chronic impact of glucagon on glucose uptake in chronically catheterized conscious depancreatized dogs placed on 5 days of nutritional support (NS). For 3 days of NS, a variable intraportal infusion of insulin was given to maintain isoglycemia (approximately 120 mg/dl). On day 3 of NS, animals received a constant low infusion of insulin (0.4 mU.kg-1.min-1) and either no glucagon (CONT), basal glucagon (0.7 ng.kg-1.min-1; BasG), or elevated glucagon (2.4 ng.kg-1.min-1; HiG) for the remaining 2 days. Glucose in NS was varied to maintain isoglycemia. An additional group (HiG+I) received elevated insulin (1 mU.kg-1.min-1) to maintain glucose requirements in the presence of elevated glucagon. On day 5 of NS, hepatic substrate balance was assessed. Insulin and glucagon levels were 10+/-2, 9+/-1, 7+/-1, and 24+/-4 microU/ml, and 24+/-5, 39+/-3, 80+/-11, and 79+/-5 pg/ml, CONT, BasG, HiG, and HiG+I, respectively. Glucagon infusion decreased the glucose requirements (9.3+/-0.1, 4.6+/-1.2, 0.9+/-0.4, and 11.3+/-1.0 mg.kg-1.min-1). Glucose uptake by both hepatic (5.1+/-0.4, 1.7+/-0.9, -1.0+/-0.4, and 1.2+/-0.4 mg.kg-1.min-1) and nonhepatic (4.2+/-0.3, 2.9+/-0.7, 1.9+/-0.3, and 10.2+/-1.0 mg.kg-1.min-1) tissues decreased. Additional insulin augmented nonhepatic glucose uptake and only partially improved hepatic glucose uptake. Thus, glucagon impaired glucose uptake by hepatic and nonhepatic tissues. Compensatory hyperinsulinemia restored nonhepatic glucose uptake and partially corrected hepatic metabolism. Thus, persistent inappropriate secretion of glucagon likely contributes to the insulin resistance and glucose intolerance observed in obese and diabetic individuals. 相似文献

The dopamine alpha- and beta-adrenoceptor dose-response curves are investigated in four patients who are exempt from cardiovascular disease. A dose-related increase in CO, HR and SV is observed with infusion rates of up to 3 micrograms kg-1 min-1. With concentrations greater than 10 micrograms kg-1 min-1, both BP and SVR increase. Low-dose dopamine infusion less than 3 micrograms kg-1 min-1 is investigated in ten other patients. With this infusion rate, a selective renal vasodilation is induced without peripheral or cardiac beta-adrenoceptor activation. Dopamine is responsible for an increase in diuresis FENa, GFR and RBF. These properties are indicated in renal failure, and when haemodynamic support is required in cardiac failure, if an infusion rate of up to 10 micrograms kg-1 min-1 is able to reverse cardiac insufficiency. 相似文献

Numerous studies have shown a rise of blood sugar concentrations and serum levels of pancreatic polypeptides after pharmacological doses of beta-endorphin. We tested the yet unknown influence of physiological fluctuations in beta-endorphin serum levels on glucose homeostasis by stimulating the pituitary secretion with CRF. 100 micrograms of human CRF or saline solution were intravenously injected in ten healthy male subjects at least one week apart. beta-endorphin serum levels rose significantly after the injection of CRF, but there was no change in blood sugar concentrations or serum levels of glucagon or insulin at all. We conclude that only a pharmacological dose of beta-endorphin influences glucose homeostasis. 相似文献

Muscarinic blockade by atropine has been shown to decrease the thermic effect of a mixed meal, but not of intravenous glucose. To further delineate the mechanisms involved in the atropine-induced inhibition of thermogenesis after a meal, plasma substrate and hormone concentrations, energy expenditure (EE) and substrate oxidation rates were measured before and during a continuous glucose infusion (44.4 mumol.kg-1.min-1) with or without atropine. After 2 h of glucose infusion, a 20-g oral fructose load was administered while the glucose infusion was continued. Plasma insulin concentrations attained a plateau at 596 (SEM 100) pmol.l-1 after 120 min of glucose infusion and were not affected by muscarinic blockade; plasma glucose concentrations peaked at 13.3 (SEM 0.5) mmol.l-1 at 90 min and decreased progressively thereafter; no difference was observed with or without atropine. Plasma free fatty acid and glucagon concentrations, with or without atropine, were both decreased to 201 (SEM 18) mumol.l-1 and 74 (SEM 4) ng.l-1, respectively, after 2 h of glucose infusion, and were not further suppressed after oral fructose. Carbohydrate oxidation rates (CHO(ox)) increased to 20.8 (SEM 1.4) mumol.kg-1.min-1 and lipid oxidation rates (Lox) decreased to 1.5 (SEM 0.3) mumol.kg-1.min-1 between 90 and 120 min after the beginning of glucose infusion and were not affected by atropine. Glucose-induced thermogenesis was similar with [6.5% (SEM 1.4%) of basal EE] or without [6.0% (SEM 1.0%), NS) muscarinic blockade during the 30 min preceding fructose ingestion.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

To determine the effects of chronic hyperinsulinemia on glucagon release, rats were made hyperinsulinemic for 14 days by supplementation of drinking water with sucrose (10%; sucrose-fed) to increase endogenous release or by implantation of osmotic minipumps (subcutaneous, s.c.; or intraperitoneal, i.p.) to deliver exogenous insulin (6 U/day). Both s.c. and i.p. rats also had sucrose in the drinking water to prevent hypoglycemia. Plasma insulin levels were significantly elevated in sucrose-fed, s.c., and i.p. rats. However, glucose levels were significantly elevated in sucrose-fed rats only. Surprisingly, plasma glucagon concentrations were elevated in i.p. and s.c. rats and were not suppressed in sucrose-fed rats. Inverse relationships were found between the plasma levels of insulin and glucose (n = 65; r = -0.42, p less than 0.0001) and between glucose and glucagon (n = 73; r = -0.46, p less than 0.0001). However, unexpectedly, a positive correlation between insulin and glucagon (n = 65; r = 0.47, p less than 0.0001) was established. As suppression of plasma glucagon levels below basal was not observed in any of the hyperinsulinemic or hyperglycemic rats, we wished to establish further whether pancreatic glucagon release could be suppressed below basal levels in the rat by another means. Thus, high doses of somatostatin (50-100 micrograms.kg-1.min-1) were infused for 45 min into normal rats without or with a concomitant hyperinsulinemic, hyperglycemic glucose clamp. Somatostatin fully suppressed insulin, but although plasma glucagon levels were decreased by somatostatin infusion relative to saline-infused animals, there was still no suppression below basal levels.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

The concentration of plasma glucose in insulin deprived pancreatectomized dogs was decreased from the basal 385 +/- 44 to 65 +/- 12 mg/dL by the infusion of 7 mU X kg-1 X min-1 insulin. During the infusion, the plasma concentration of immunoreactive glucagon (IRG) did not change and hepatic glucose production was decreased. This is in contrast to earlier findings in alloxan diabetic dogs in which plasma IRG decreased in hypoglycaemia. The hypothesis is put forward that, in contrast to pancreatic alpha cells in which the effect of insulin prevails, neither insulin nor a decrease in the ambient concentration of glucose exerts any effect on the secretion of glucagon from extrapancreatic alpha cells. 相似文献

Oxytocin (OT) infusion in normal dogs increases plasma insulin and glucagon levels and increases rates of glucose production and uptake. The purpose of this study was to determine whether the effects of OT on glucose metabolism were direct or indirect. The studies were carried out in normal, unanesthetized dogs in which OT infusion was superimposed on infusion of either somatostatin, which suppresses insulin and glucagon secretion, or clonidine, which suppresses insulin secretion only. Infusion of 0.2 microgram/kg/min of somatostatin suppressed basal levels of plasma insulin and glucagon and inhibited the OT-induced rise of these hormones by about 60-80% of that seen with OT alone. The rates of glucose production and uptake by tissues, measured with [6-3H] glucose, were significantly lower than those seen with OT alone, and the rise in glucose clearance was completely inhibited. Clonidine (30 micrograms/kg, sc), given along with an insulin infusion to replace basal levels of insulin, completely prevented the OT-induced rise in plasma insulin and markedly reduced the glucose uptake seen with OT alone, but did not reduce the usual increase in plasma glucose and glucagon levels or glucose production. To determine whether the OT-induced rise in plasma insulin was in response to the concomitant increase in plasma glucose, similar plasma glucose levels were established in normal dogs by a continuous infusion of glucose and an OT infusion was superimposed. OT did not raise plasma glucose levels further, but plasma insulin levels were increased, indicating that OT can stimulate insulin secretion independently of the plasma glucose changes. Studies by others have shown that the addition of OT to pancreatic islets or intact pancreas can stimulate insulin and glucagon secretion, indicating a direct effect. Our studies agree with that and suggest that in vivo, OT raises plasma insulin levels, at least in part, through a direct action on the pancreas. These studies also show that OT increases glucose production by increasing glucagon secretion and, in addition, a direct effect of OT on glucose production is likely. The OT-induced increase in glucose uptake is mediated largely by increased insulin secretion. 相似文献

Venous versus arterialised venous blood for assessment of blood glucose levels during glucose clamping: comparison in healthy men. 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of the arteriovenous (A-V) gradient in blood glucose concentrations at low and high insulin levels on the determination of glucose requirements during glucose clamping in 9 healthy, insulin sensitive, male volunteers. In a random order two clamps were performed, once using arterialised venous blood (A Clamp, mean pO2 = 11.5 +/- 0.36 kPa, 86 +/- 2.7 mmHg), and once using venous blood (V clamp, mean pO2 = 7.9 +/- 0.21 kPa, 59 +/- 1.6 mmHg). Insulin levels were maintained at 48 +/- 2.4 mU/l from 0-180 min and at 1054 +/- 114 mU/l from 180-360 min. Elevation of insulin levels caused a significant rise of the A-V gradient: from 0.3 +/- 0.1 to 0.5 +/- 0.1 mmol/l (p < 0.05) and from 0.2 +/- 0.1 to 0.3 +/- 0.1 mmol/l (p < 0.05) during the A and V clamps, respectively. Despite these A-V glucose gradients no significant differences were found for the glucose requirements during the last 30 min of each period of insulin infusion between the A and V clamps: 43.70 +/- 3.4 vs 44.8 +/- 2.8 mumol.kg-1.min-1 during the low insulin level and 77.3 +/- 5.0 vs 76.2 +/- 3.4 mumol.kg-1.min-1 during the high insulin level. We conclude that the A-V glucose gradient, even at high insulin levels, does not influence the assessment of glucose requirements to a measurable extent, allowing the use of the simpler technique of taking venous rather than arterialised venous blood for the measurements of glucose levels during glucose clamping. 相似文献

The effect of a low-dose infusion of dopamine on basal circulating concentrations of insulin, glucagon and glucose in six healthy male subjects is reported. Dopamine (0.1 microgram/kg/min) or placebo was given intravenously for 60 minutes. During infusion of the catecholamine, circulating plasma dopamine was 3.46 +/- 1 ng/ml. No change in circulating concentrations of insulin, glucagon and glucose were seen during infusion of dopamine when compared with placebo infusion. It is concluded that dopamine acting at a D2 receptor is unlikely to be of physiological importance in regulation of basal pancreatic islet cell function in man. 相似文献

The present study examined the effect of small, vasodilating doses of dopamine on the hepatic oxygen supply--uptake ratio. Thirteen miniature pigs weighing 18-27 kg were studied under sodium pentobarbital anesthesia. Hepatic arterial and portal blood flows were measured. Oxygen content in arterial, portal, and hepatic venous blood was determined. Dopamine was infused in doses of 5, 10, and 15 micrograms.kg-1.min-1. Dopamine infusion was associated with a dose-related increase in hepatic oxygen uptake and a dose-independent increase in hepatic oxygen delivery with a maximal increase (30%) in the hepatic oxygen delivery at 10 micrograms.kg-1.min-1. The hepatic oxygen delivery--uptake ratio remained unchanged during dopamine infusion in doses of 5 and 10 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 and significantly decreased during the dose of 15 micrograms.kg-1.min-1. The study demonstrated that an increase in cardiac output and hepatic oxygen delivery during dopamine administration was not associated with an improvement in hepatic oxygen supply--demand relationship since hepatic oxygen uptake also increased. 相似文献

Glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is an intestinal hormone that stimulates insulin secretion and decreases glucagon release. It has been hypothesized that GLP-1 also reduces glycemia independent of its effect on islet hormones. Based on preliminary evidence that GLP-1 has independent actions on endogenous glucose production, we undertook a series of experiments that were optimized to address this question. The effect of GLP-1 on glucose appearance (Ra) and glucose disposal (Rd) was measured in eight men during a pancreatic clamp that was performed by infusing octreotide to suppress secretion of islet hormones, while insulin and glucagon were infused at rates adjusted to maintain blood glucose near fasting levels. After stabilization of plasma glucose and equilibration of [3H]glucose tracer, GLP-1 was given intravenously for 60 min. Concentrations of insulin, C-peptide, and glucagon were similar before and during the GLP-1 infusion (115 +/- 14 vs. 113 +/- 11 pM; 0.153 +/- 0.029 vs. 0.156 +/- 0.026 nM; and 64.7 +/- 11.5 vs. 65.8 +/- 13.8 ng/l, respectively). With the initiation of GLP-1, plasma glucose decreased in all eight subjects from steady-state levels of 4.8 +/- 0.2 to a nadir of 4.1 +/- 0.2 mM. This decrease in plasma glucose was accounted for by a significant 17% decrease in Ra, from 22.6 +/- 2.8 to 19.1 +/- 2.8 micromol. kg-1. min-1 (P < 0.04), with no significant change in Rd. These findings indicate that, under fasting conditions, GLP-1 decreases endogenous glucose production independent of its actions on islet hormone secretion. 相似文献

In adult male rats anaesthetized with pentobarbital the intravenous infusion of 0.5 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 of epinephrine increased liver phosphorylase a activity within 5 min, whereas later a weakening of the hormone effect was observed. After increasing the infusion rate to 1.0 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 and extending the study to more parameters, the diminishing effect on phosphorylase was confirmed and a similar response was established for liver cAMP. Concomitantly, a decrease and recovery of liver glycogen synthase a activity was observed. In rats with permanent catheters in one of their tail arteries for obtaining blood samples, the plasma epinephrine levels were shown to be permanently increased (from cca 1 pmol.ml-1 before infusion of 1.0 micrograms.kg-1.min-1 to more than 30 pmol.ml-1 during infusion) and remained at steady levels throughout the infusion. Therefore, the weakening of the epinephrine effect should be ascribed to changes at (or beyond) the catecholamine receptor level. A hitherto undescribed decrease of total glycogen synthase activity was observed during the infusions. 相似文献

To determine whether, in the presence of constant insulin concentrations, a change in glucose concentrations results in a reciprocal change in endogenous glucose production (EGP), glucagon ( approximately 130 ng/l) and insulin ( approximately 65 pmol/l) were maintained at constant "basal" concentrations while glucose was clamped at approximately 5.3 mM (euglycemia), approximately 7.0 mM (sustained hyperglycemia; n = 10), or varied to create a "postprandial" profile (profile; n = 11). EGP fell slowly over the 6 h of the euglycemia study. In contrast, an increase in glucose to 7.13 +/- 0.3 mmol/l resulted in prompt and sustained suppression of EGP to 9.65 +/- 1.21 micromol x kg-1 x min-1. On the profile study day, glucose increased to a peak of 11.2 +/- 0.5 mmol/l, and EGP decreased to a nadir of 6.79 +/- 2.54 micromol x kg-1 x min-1 by 60 min. Thereafter, the fall in glucose was accompanied by a reciprocal rise in EGP to rates that did not differ from those observed on the euglycemic study day (11.31 +/- 2.45 vs. 12.11 +/- 3.21 micromol x kg-1 x min-1). Although the pattern of change of glucose differed markedly on the sustained hyperglycemia and profile study days, by design the area above basal did not. This resulted in equivalent suppression of EGP below basal (-1,952 +/- 204 vs. -1,922 +/- 246 mmol. kg-1. 6 h-1). These data demonstrate that, in the presence of a constant basal insulin concentration, changes in glucose within the physiological range rapidly and reciprocally regulate EGP. 相似文献

The effects of continuous intravenous infusions (6 h) of ammonium chloride (5.6; 11.2; and 16.8 mumol.kg-1.min) on plasma glucose and immunoreactive insulin (I.R.I.) levels were studied in three adult sheep. Infusions of 5.6 and 11.2 mumol.kg-1.min elevated ammonia levels in circulating blood from 100 to 150 and 300 microgram.100 ml-1, respectively, but showed no appreciable effect on plasma glucose and I.R.I. concentrations. Infusion of 16.8 mumol.kg-1.min-1 resulted in a blood ammonia concentration of about 400 microgram.100 ml-1 after six hours of infusion. Blood ammonia returned to normal 1 to 2 hours after the end of infusion. Plasma glucose concentration tended to increase slightly from 65 to 75 mg . 100 ml-1 when 16.8 mumol of NH4Cl were infused kg-1.min-1 and remained at the elevated level at least for two additional hours when ammonia infusions were stopped. Plasma I.R.I. tended to decrease from 48 to 38 microunits . ml-1 during the time of the NH4Cl infusion and increased continually to 82 microunits . ml-1 when NH4Cl infusions were stopped. It is concluded from the time courses of plasma glucose and plasma I.R.I. that the effect of ammonia infusion of these parameters cannot entirely be explained by a regulatory release of adrenaline. 相似文献

To determine whether rats could adapt to a chronic exogenous supply of adrenaline by a decrease in the well-known inhibitory effect of adrenaline on insulin secretion, plasma glucose and insulin levels were measured in unanesthetized control and adrenaline-treated rats (300 mug/kg twice a day for 28 days) during an adrenaline infusion (0.75 mug kg-1 min-1), after an acute glucose load (0.5 g/kg), and during the simultaneous administration of both agents. Chronic treatment with adrenaline did not modify the initial glucose levels but it greatly diminished the basal insulin values (21.57+/-2.48 vs. 44.69+/-3.3muU/ml, p less than 0.01). In the control rats, despite the elevated glucose concentrations, a significant drop in plasma insulin levels was observed within the first 15 min of adrenaline infusion, followed by a period of recovery. In the adrenaline-treated group, in which plasma glucose levels were lower than in control animals, plasma insulin levels did not drop as in control rats, but a significant increase was found after 30 min of infusion. During the intravenous glucose tolerance test, the plasma glucose and insulin responses showed similar patterns; however, during the concomitant adrenaline infusion, the treated rats showed a better glucose tolerance than their controls. These results indicate that rats chronically treated with adrenaline adapt to the diabetogenic effect of an infusion of adrenaline by have a lower inhibition of insulin release, although the lower basal insulin levels may indicate a greater sensitivity to endogenous insulin. 相似文献

This study aims to determine whether glucose intervenes in the regulation of lipid metabolism in long-term fasting birds, using the king penguin as an animal model. Changes in the plasma concentration of various metabolites and hormones, and in lipolytic fluxes as determined by continuous infusion of [2-3H]glycerol and [1-14C]palmitate, were examined in vivo before, during, and after a 2-h glucose infusion under field conditions. All the birds were in the phase II fasting status (large fat stores, protein sparing) but differed by their metabolic and hormonal statuses, being either nonstressed (NSB; n = 5) or stressed (SB; n = 5). In both groups, glucose infusion at 5 mg.kg-1.min-1 induced a twofold increase in glycemia. In NSB, glucose had no effect on lipolysis (maintenance of plasma concentrations and rates of appearance of glycerol and nonesterified fatty acids) and no effect on the plasma concentrations of triacylglycerols (TAG), glucagon, insulin, or corticosterone. However, it limited fatty acid (FA) oxidation, as indicated by a 25% decrease in the plasma level of beta-hydroxybutyrate (beta-OHB). In SB, glucose infusion induced an approximately 2.5-fold decrease in lipolytic fluxes and a large decrease in FA oxidation, as reflected by a 64% decrease in the plasma concentration of beta-OHB. There were also a 35% decrease in plasma TAG, a 6.5- and 2.8-fold decrease in plasma glucagon and corticosterone, respectively, and a threefold increase in insulinemia. These data show that in fasting king penguins, glucose regulates lipid metabolism (inhibition of lipolysis and/or of FA oxidation) and affects hormonal status differently in stressed vs. nonstressed individuals. The results also suggest that in birds, as in humans, the availability of glucose, not of FA, is an important determinant of the substrate mix (glucose vs. FA) that is oxidized for energy production. 相似文献

Excess cortisol has been demonstrated to impair hepatic and extrahepatic insulin action. To determine whether glucose effectiveness and, in terms of endogenous glucose release (EGR), gluconeogenesis, also are altered by hypercortisolemia, eight healthy subjects were studied after overnight infusion with hydrocortisone or saline. Glucose effectiveness was assessed by a combined somatostatin and insulin infusion protocol to maintain insulin concentration at basal level in the presence of prandial glucose infusions. Despite elevated insulin concentrations (P < 0.05), hypercortisolemia resulted in higher glucose (P < 0.05) and free fatty acid concentrations (P < 0.05). Furthermore, basal insulin concentrations were higher during hydrocortisone than during saline infusion (P < 0.01), indicating the presence of steroid-induced insulin resistance. Postabsorptive glucose production (P = 0.64) and the fractional contribution of gluconeogenesis to EGR (P = 0.33) did not differ on the two study days. During the prandial glucose infusion, the integrated glycemic response above baseline was higher in the presence of hydrocortisone than during saline infusion (P < 0.05), implying a decrease in net glucose effectiveness (4.42 +/- 0.52 vs. 6.65 +/- 0.83 ml.kg-1.min-1; P < 0.05). To determine whether this defect is attributable to an impaired ability of glucose to suppress glucose production, to stimulate its own uptake, or both, glucose turnover and "hot" (labeled) indexes of glucose effectiveness (GE) were calculated. Hepatic GE was lower during cortisol than during saline infusion (2.39 +/- 0.24 vs. 3.82 +/- 0.51 ml.kg-1.min-1; P < 0.05), indicating a defect in the ability of glucose to restrain its own production. In addition, in the presence of excess cortisol, glucose disappearance was inappropriate for the prevailing glucose concentration, implying a decrease in glucose clearance (P < 0.05). The decrease in glucose clearance was confirmed by the higher increment in [3-3H]glucose during hydrocortisone than during saline infusion (P < 0.05), despite the administration of identical tracer infusion rates. In conclusion, short-term hypercortisolemia in healthy individuals with normal beta-cell function decreases insulin action but does not alter rates of EGR and gluconeogenesis. In addition, cortisol impairs the ability of glucose to suppress its own production, which due to accumulation of glucose in the glucose space results in impaired peripheral glucose clearance. These results suggest that cortisol excess impairs glucose tolerance by decreasing both insulin action and glucose effectiveness. 相似文献

Infusion of glucose into the hepatic artery blocks the stimulatory effect of the "portal signal" on net hepatic glucose uptake (NHGU) during portal glucose delivery. We hypothesized that hepatic artery ligation (HAL) would result in enhanced NHGU during peripheral glucose infusion because the arterial glucose concentration would be perceived as lower than that in the portal vein. Fourteen dogs underwent HAL approximately 16 days before study. Conscious 42-h-fasted dogs received somatostatin, intraportal insulin, and glucagon infusions at fourfold basal and at basal rates, respectively, and peripheral glucose infusion to create hyperglycemia. After 90 min (period 1), seven dogs (HALpo) received intraportal glucose (3.8 mg. kg-1. min-1) and seven (HALpe) continued to receive only peripheral glucose for 90 min (period 2). These two groups were compared with nine non-HAL control dogs (control) treated as were HALpe. During period 2, the arterial plasma insulin concentrations (24 +/- 3, 20 +/- 1, and 24 +/- 2 microU/ml) and hepatic glucose loads (39.1 +/- 2.5, 43.8 +/- 2.9, and 37.7 +/- 3.7 mg. kg-1. min-1) were not different in HALpe, HALpo, and control, respectively. HALpo exhibited greater (P < 0.05) NHGU than HALpe and control (3.1 +/- 0.3, 2.0 +/- 0.4, and 2.0 +/- 0.1 mg. kg-1. min-1, respectively). Net hepatic carbon retention was approximately twofold greater (P < 0.05) in HALpo than in HALpe and control. NHGU and net hepatic glycogen synthesis during peripheral glucose infusion were not enhanced by HAL. Even though there exists an intrahepatic arterial reference site for the portal vein glucose concentration, the failure of HAL to result in enhanced NHGU during peripheral glucose infusion suggests the existence of one or more comparison sites outside the liver. 相似文献

Wortmannin, an inhibitor of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, was systemically infused during a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp to investigate its effects in vivo. Rats were infused under anesthesia with saline, 10 or 20 mU.min-1.kg-1 insulin, wortmannin (1 microg.min-1.kg-1)+saline, or wortmannin+insulin (10 mU.min-1.kg-1); wortmannin was present for 1 h before and throughout the 2-h clamp. Femoral blood flow (FBF), glucose infusion rate to maintain euglycemia (GIR), glucose appearance (Ra), glucose disappearance (Rd), capillary recruitment by 1-methylxanthine metabolism (MXD), hindleg glucose uptake (HLGU), liver, muscle, and aorta Akt phosphorylation (P-Akt/Akt), and plasma insulin concentrations were determined. Plasma insulin increased from 410+/-49 to 1,680+/-430 and 5,060+/-230 pM with 10 and 20 mU.min-1.kg-1 insulin, respectively. Insulin (10 and 20 mU.min-1.kg-1) increased FBF, MXD, GIR, Rd, and HLGU as well as liver, muscle, and aorta P-Akt/Akt and decreased Ra (all P<0.05). Wortmannin alone increased plasma insulin to 5,450+/-770 pM and increased Ra, Rd, HLGU, and muscle P-Akt/Akt without effect on blood glucose, FBF, MXD liver, or aorta P-Akt/Akt. Wortmannin blocked FBF, MXD, and liver P-Akt/Akt increases from 10 mU.min-1.kg-1 insulin. Comparison of wortmannin+10 mU.min-1.kg-1 insulin and 20 mU.min-1.kg-1 insulin alone (both at approximately 5,000 pM PI) showed that wortmannin fully blocked the changes in FBF and Ra and partly those of GIR, Ra, Rd, HLGU, and muscle P-AKT/Akt. In summary, wortmannin in vivo increases plasma insulin and fully inhibits insulin-mediated effects in liver and aorta and partially those of muscle, where the latter may result from inhibition of insulin-mediated increases in blood flow and capillary recruitment. 相似文献
