The levels of glycogen and lactate in liver, intestine, yolk sac membrane and leg and breast muscle of domestic fowl from day 10 of "in ovo" development to day 5 after hatching compared with adults have been measured and compared with the circulating concentrations in blood of glucose and lactate. Glycogen stores in most tissues increased before hatching to attain a minimum around the eclosion and then increased to adult values in muscle and liver. Lactate maintained its plasma concentrations with higher effectiveness than plasma glucose, which increased steadily up to adult levels from hatching. The study of tissue vs plasma lactate concentration ratios suggests a general activation of lactate metabolism from hatching, coinciding with the ingestion of carbohydrate-based food. Both muscles studied, as well as intestine, seem to be net lactate producers; blood cells can speculatively be considered as lactate users and liver maintains its concentration of lactate very close to that of plasma, suggesting a fast utilization of this material as well as liver being the main site for control of circulating lactate. 相似文献

Lactate concentration in blood, liver, yolk, amniotic and allantoic fluid and blood pyruvate was measured in embryos in the final week of incubation. Blood lactate was low up to day 18. The blood lactate/pyruvate ratio and liver lactate increased from day 19 until hatching. From day 14 to 19, lactate concentration in amniotic fluid remained constant, it increased 2-fold in yolk and 10-fold in allantoic fluid. There was only a 48% net accumulation of lactate in the three cavities. In conclusion, fowl embryos do not turn to anaerobic metabolism until the hatching process starts on day 19. 相似文献

1. Inter-organ relationships between glucose, lactate and amino acids were studied by determination of plasma concentrations in different blood vessels of anaesthetized rats fed on either a high-carbohydrate diet [13% (w/w) casein, 79% (w/w) starch] or a high-protein diet [50% (w/w) casein, 42% (w/w) starch]. The period of food intake was limited (09:00-17:00h), and blood was collected 4h after the start of this period (13:00h). 2. Glucose absorption was considerable only in rats fed on a high-carbohydrate diet. Portal-vein-artery differences in plasma lactate concentration were higher in rats fed on this diet, but not proportional to glucose absorption. Aspartate, glutamate and glutamine were apparently converted into alanine, but when dietary protein intake was high, a net absorption of glutamine occurred. 3. The liver removed glucose from the blood in rats fed on a high-carbohydrate diet, but glucose was released into the blood in rats fed on the high-protein diet, probably as a result of gluconeogenesis. Lactate uptake was very low when amino acid availability was high. 4. In rats on a high-protein diet, increased uptake of amino acids, except for ornithine, was associated with a rise in portal-vein plasma concentrations, and in many cases with a decrease in hepatic concentrations. 5. Hepatic concentrations of pyruvate and 2-oxo-glutarate decreased without a concomitant change in the concentrations of lactate and malate in rats fed on the high-protein diet, in spite of an increased supply of pyruvate precursors (e.g. alanine, serine, glycine), suggesting increased pyruvate transport into mitochondria. 6. High postprandial concentrations of plasma glucose and lactate resulted in high uptakes of these metabolites in peripheral tissues of rats on both diets. Glutamine was released peripherally in both cases, whereas alanine was taken up in rats fed on a high-carbohydrate diet, but released when the amino acid supply increased. 7. It is concluded that: the small intestine is the main site of lactate production, and the peripheral tissues are the main site for lactate utilization; during increased ureogenesis in fed rats, lactate is poorly utilized by the liver; the gut is the main site of alanine production in rats fed on a high-carbohydrate diet and the liver utilizes most of the alanine introduced into the portal-vein plasma in both cases. 相似文献

Activities of alanine and aspartate transaminases, glutamine synthetase, adenylate deaminase, glutamate and xanthine dehydrogenases and lactate dehydrogenase were measured in leg and breast muscles of developing chicks from day 10 in ovo to day 5 of free life, and compared with measurements for adult hens. Xanthine dehydrogenase activity was low in both muscles with adult levels attained on day 15 in ovo. Glutamine synthetase for chicks was maintained higher during development than for adults in both muscles. Minor differences were observed between both muscles in all enzymes tested up to day 18. With low embryonic values and important rises before hatching, the differences were initiated in the posthatching period. Important differences were observed between adult levels of activity. Leg muscle revealed higher enzyme values except for lactate dehydrogenase and indistinguishable levels for adenylate deaminase and xanthine dehydrogenase in both muscles. Alanine, instead of glutamine, is postulated as the main nitrogen transport between muscle and liver in the domestic fowl. 相似文献

The aim of this experiment was to evaluate the impact of selection for greater muscling on the adrenaline responsiveness of muscle, adipose and liver tissue, as reflected by changes in plasma levels of the intermediary metabolites lactate, non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) and glucose. This study used 18-month-old steers from an Angus herd visually assessed and selected for divergence in muscling for over 15 years. Ten low muscled (Low), 11 high muscled (High) and 3 high muscled heterozygotes for myostatin mutation (High(Het)) steers were challenged with adrenaline doses ranging between 0.2 to 3.0 μg/kg live weight. For each challenge, 16 blood samples were taken between -30 and 130 min relative to adrenaline administration. Plasma was analysed for NEFA, lactate and glucose concentration and area under curve (AUC) over time was calculated to reflect the tissue responses to adrenaline. Sixteen basal plasma samples from each animal were also assayed for growth hormone. Muscle glycogen and lactate concentration were analysed from four muscle biopsies taken from the semimembranosus, semitendinosus and longissimus thoracis et lumborum of each animal at 14, 90 and 150 days on an ad libitum grain-based diet and at slaughter on day 157. In response to the adrenaline challenges, the High steers had 30% lower lactate AUC than the Low steers at challenges greater than 2 μg/kg live weight, indicating lower muscle responsiveness at the highest adrenaline doses. Aligning with this decrease in muscle response in the High animals were the muscle glycogen concentrations which were 6.1% higher in the High steers. These results suggest that selection for muscling could reduce the incidence of dark, firm, dry meat that is caused by low levels of glycogen at slaughter. At all levels of adrenaline challenge, the High steers had at least 30% greater NEFA AUC, indicating that their adipose tissue was more responsive to adrenaline, resulting in greater lipolysis. In agreement with this response, the High steers had a higher plasma growth hormone concentration, which is likely to have contributed to the increased lipolysis evident in these animals in response to adrenaline. This difference in lipolysis may in part explain the reduced fatness of muscular cattle. There was no effect of selection for muscling on liver responsiveness to adrenaline. 相似文献

Individual amino acid levels and compartmentation in chick blood were measured on day 20 of incubation, at hatching (day 0), or after 1 or 5 days of free life, and compared with those of adult chickens. Blood cell amino acid concentrations were almost one order of magnitude higher than those of plasma, with higher values than those found in mammalian erythrocytes. This difference may be due to the capability for protein synthesis of the nucleated cells coupled with a postulated utilization of amino acids as fuel. The most common pattern of individual plasma amino acid levels was a slight rise at hatching followed by a large decrease, with minimal values for adults. The patterns in the cells did not always coincide with those for plasma. Total blood amino acid levels increased steadily during the period studied due to the increase in intracellular amino acids, giving rise to increasing blood-cell/plasma concentration ratios. These changes showed higher availability of plasma amino acids just after hatching, while the cell concentrations increased steadily to the maximum values in adults. The increase in alanine levels in cells with little changes in plasma can be correlated with the role of this amino acid as the main 2-amino nitrogen carrier in the avian bloodstream. The high amino acid levels in the cells suggest that these cells act as inter-organ transporters and reservoirs of amino acids, they have a different role in their handling and metabolism from those of mammals. 相似文献

Insulin infusion through the portal vein immediately after a pulse of [3-14C]pyruvate in 24 hr starved rats enhanced the appearance of [14C]glucose at 2, 5 and 10 min and glucose specific activity at 1, 2 and 20 min in blood collected from the cava vein at the level of the suprahepatic veins. Insulin infusion for 5 min decreased liver pyruvate concentration and enhanced both liver and plasma lactate/pyruvate ratio, and it decreased the plasma concentration of all amino acids. When insulin was infused together with glucose, [14C]glucose levels and glucose specific activity decreased in blood but there was a marked increase in liver [14C]glycogen, glycogen specific activity and glycogen concentration, and an increase in liver lactate/pyruvate ratio. The effect of insulin plus glucose infusion on plasma amino acids concentration was smaller than that found with insulin alone. It is proposed that insulin effect enhancing liver gluconeogenesis is secondary to its effect either enhancing liver glycolysis which modifies the liver's cytoplasmic oxidoreduction state to its more reduced form, increasing liver amino acids consumption or both. In the presence of glucose, products of gluconeogenesis enhanced by insulin are diverted into glycogen synthesis rather than circulating glucose. This together with results of the preceding paper (Soley et al., 1985), indicates that glucose enhances liver glycogen synthesis from C3 units in the starved rat, the process being further enhanced in the presence of insulin. 相似文献

We recently observed that a 24-h fasted group of rats could run longer than an ad libitum fed control group before becoming exhausted. Because of the demonstrated importance of glycogen levels and free fatty acid availability during endurance exercise, we have investigated several parameters of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism in exercised and nonexercised rats that were either fed ad libitum or fasted for 24 h. A 24-h fast depleted liver glycogen, lowered plasma glucose concentration, decreased muscle glycogen levels, and increased free fatty acid and beta-hydroxybutyrate concentrations in plasma. During exercise the fasted group had lower plasma glucose concentration, higher plasma concentration of free fatty acids and beta-hydroxybutyrate, and a lower muscle glycogen depletion rate than did the ad libitum fed group. Since fasted rats were able to continue running even when plasma glucose had dropped to levels lower than those of fed-exhausted rats, it seems unlikely that blood glucose level, per se, is a factor in causing exhaustion. These results suggest that fasting increases fatty acid utilization during exercise and the resulting "glycogen sparing" effect may result in increased endurance. 相似文献

The effects of starvation on plasma free amino acid and glucose concentrations in lake sturgeon 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7
The effect of starvation on the metabolism of the lake sturgeon Acipenser fulvescens was examined by measuring haematocrit, plasma glucose concentrations, and plasma free amino acids. Plasma was sampled on day 0, 10, 20, 45 and 60 of a 60-day starvation period. Haematocrit was observed to decrease with starvation indicating a decreased oxygen carrying capacity of the blood. Plasma glucose levels differed only at day 10, with a decrease in blood glucose level in the starved group. No differences were detected between groups for alanine, aspartate, and serine, while elevated levels were observed for glutamine throughout the experiment. An increase in arginine, tyrosine, valine, methionine, tryptophan, phenylalanine, glutamate, glycine, isoleucine, histidine and leucine, concentrations were observed after 45 days of starvation. The maintenance, or increased plasma levels, of glucogenic amino acids in combination with the maintenance of blood glucose concentrations indicates active gluconeogenic processes in the liver supported by muscle proteolysis. 相似文献

High fructose feeding (60 g/100 g diet) in rodents induces alterations in both glucose and lipid metabolism. The present study was aimed to evaluate whether intraperitoneal carnitine (CA), a transporter of fatty acyl-CoA into the mitochondria, could attenuate derangements in carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes and glucose overproduction in high fructose-diet fed rats. Male Wistar rats of body weight 150-160 g were divided into 4 groups of 6 rats each. Groups 1 and 4 animals received control diet while the groups 2 and 3 rats received high fructose-diet. Groups 3 and 4 animals were treated with CA (300 mg/Kg body weight/day, i.p.) for 30 days. At the end of the experimental period, levels of carnitine, glucose, insulin, lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, triglycerides and free fatty acids in plasma were determined. The activities of carbohydrate metabolizing enzymes and glycogen content in liver and muscle were assayed. Hepatocytes isolated from liver were studied for the gluconeogenic activity in the presence of substrates such as pyruvate, lactate, glycerol, fructose and alanine. Fructose-diet fed animals showed alterations in glucose metabolizing enzymes, increased circulating levels of gluconeogenic substrates and depletion of glycogen in liver and muscle. There was increased glucose output from hepatocytes of animals fed fructose-diet alone with all the gluconeogenic substrates. The abnormalities associated with fructose feeding such as increased gluconeogenesis, reduced glycogen content and other parameters were brought back to near normal levels by CA. Hepatocytes from these animals showed significant inhibition of glucose production from pyruvate (74.3%), lactate (65.4%), glycerol (69.6%), fructose (56.2%) and alanine (63.6%) as compared to CA untreated fructose-fed animals. The benefits observed could be attributed to the effect of CA on fatty acyl-CoA transport. 相似文献

Characteristic changes in ketone body concentrations in blood, liver, and skeletal muscle were investigated in detail in newly hatched chicks. The concentration of beta-hydroxybutyrate in the blood was maximal at hatch (0 day), markedly decreased to 3 days, then maintained at low levels, up to 14 days of age. The concentration of acetoacetate in blood, on the other hand, did not change after hatching but remained lower than that of beta-hydroxybutyrate at all ages. In liver and muscles, the concentration of beta-hydroxybutyrate changed in a manner similar to that in the blood. The muscle to blood ratio of the beta-hydroxybutyrate concentration on days -1 and 0 was significantly higher than those at 1 through 14 days post-hatch. These results show that newly hatched chicks have the same high ketone body concentrations in the skeletal muscle, blood and liver. It is, hence, suggested that uptake of beta-hydroxybutyrate by muscles is substantial or that ketogenesis, if any, occurs in muscles immediately before and after hatching of chicks. 相似文献

- 1.1. The effects of a high-fat, high-energy diet and essential plus semi-essential amino acid gavage on pup rats have been studied (60–65 animals).
- 2.2. The activities of alanine transaminase, adenylate deaminase, glutamine synthetase and serine dehydratase have been tested in liver and muscle.
- 3.3. Plasma was used for the estimation of proteins, urea, amino acids, glucose, lactate, 3-hydroxy-butyrate and acetoacetate.
- 4.4. Liver and muscle glutamine synthetase activities are increased by diet and gavage administered. Hepatic serine dehydratase is inhibited by a cafeteria diet but activated by amino acid gavage. Adenylate deaminase is inhibited by diet and gavage in the liver, but gavage does not affect this enzyme activity in muscle. Liver alanine transaminase is increased by the diet; in the muscle, cafeteria diet and amino acid gavage showed the highest values for this enzyme.
- 5.5. In the plasma, the increase in lactate produced by the diet is inhibited by the amino acids provided. Cafeteria-fed pups showed lower urea levels and higher 3-hydroxybutyrate concentrations in the plasma.
- 6.6. Intracellular glucose is diminished by cafeteria diet. In contrast, the blood cell amino acid concentration increases with diet and gavage supplied.

The levels of glycogen, glucose, lactate, as well the activities of ten enzymes of carbohydrates metabolism in brain, liver and white muscle of sea scorpion have been investigated. Metabolite concentrations didn't change in brain and the levels of glycogen and lactate were constant in the rest tissues investigated. Glucose concentration decreased in the liver and increased in muscle. In brain hypoxia decreased the activity of hexokinase and increased one of pyruvate kinase, phosphoglucoisomerase and fructoso-1,6-bisphosphatase. In liver most of the enzymes showed the tendency to decrease of their activities. In muscle the activities of phosphofructokinase and phosphoglucoisomerase decreased. Mechanisms of carbohydrates metabolism regulation under hypoxia are discussed. 相似文献

The purpose of the present study was to use the microdialysis technique to determine skeletal muscle interstitial glucose and lactate concentrations during dynamic incremental exercise in humans. Microdialysis probes were inserted into the vastus lateralis muscle, and subjects performed knee extensor exercise at workloads of 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 W. The in vivo probe recoveries determined at rest by the internal reference method for glucose and lactate were 28.7 +/- 2.5 and 32.0 +/- 2.7%, respectively. As exercise intensity increased, probe recovery also increased, and at the highest workload probe recovery for glucose (61.0 +/- 3.9%) and lactate (66. 3 +/- 3.6%) had more than doubled. At rest the interstitial glucose concentration (3.5 +/- 0.2 mM) was lower than both the arterial (5.6 +/- 0.2 mM) and venous (5.3 +/- 0.3 mM) plasma water glucose levels. The interstitial glucose levels remained lower (P < 0.05) than the arterial and venous plasma water glucose concentrations during exercise at all intensities and at 10, 20, 30, and 50 W, respectively. At rest the interstitial lactate concentration (2.5 +/- 0.2 mM) was higher (P < 0.05) than both the arterial (0.9 +/- 0. 2 mM) and venous (1.1 +/- 0.2 mM) plasma water lactate levels. This relationship was maintained (P < 0.05) during exercise at workloads of 10, 20, and 30 W. These data suggest that interstitial glucose delivery at rest is flow limited and that during exercise changes in the interstitial concentrations of glucose and lactate mirror the changes observed in the venous plasma water compartments. Furthermore, skeletal muscle contraction results in an increase in the diffusion coefficient of glucose and lactate within the interstitial space as reflected by an elevation in probe recovery during exercise. 相似文献

Endocrine and metabolic responses to stress in a laboratory population of the tropical damselfish Acanthochromis polyacanthus 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The effects of confinement and exercise on the stress response of the spiny damselfish Acanthochromis polyacanthus were investigated in a laboratory stock of fish. Cultured spiny damselfish had basal plasma cortisol values (<16 ng ml−1 ) similar to those found in wild fish, and basal plasma glucose and lactate levels that were similar to those found in other teleosts. Plasma cortisol concentrations increased in response to stress with a latency period of 5–10 min. Removal of the stressor resulted in partial recovery of cortisol levels by 24 h. Plasma glucose levels increased in response to stress in all experiments with significant increases occurring within 15 min of the imposition of stress. Elevations in plasma glucose concentrations were not initially reflected in changes in liver or muscle glycogen content, with significant reductions in liver glycogen concentrations only occurring in response to extended periods of stress. In contrast to many temperate species, plasma lactate concentrations did not consistently increase in response to stress, suggesting that the stress response in spiny damselfish is not strongly characterized by anaerobiosis. 相似文献

Abstract: This is a study of the effects of a single “therapeutic” dose of glycerol [2 g(22 mmol)/kg i.p.] on brain carbohydrate and energy metabolism in normal nursing weanling mice. Findings were correlated with brain water and electrolyte content and with metabolite changes in plasma, red blood cells, and liver. Plasma glycerol levels peaked at 21 mM 7.5 min after injection and returned to the control value, 0.16 mM, by 2 h. Plasma Na+ concentration decreased and plasma protein increased for as long as 2 h after injection. Although red blood cells were freely permeable to glycerol, there was no evidence for glycerol metabolism in these cells. Glycerol levels in liver paralleled those in plasma. Glycerol injection increased liver glucose concentration 23% and doubled hepatic glycerol-1-phosphate levels. Liver ATP levels were reduced 24% after glycerol injection. Brain water concentration was significantly reduced from 7.5 min to 30 min after glycerol injection; brain Na+ and K+ levels were unchanged. There was no evidence for glycerol entry into brain (the amount detected in brain tissue could be explained by the glycerol content in the blood of the brain). While plasma glucose increased 33%, brain glucose increased 87%. Concomitantly there were statistically significant increases in fructose-1,6-diphosphate, lactate, α-ketoglutarate, and malate levels. The disproportionately high brain glucose value suggests increased transport of glucose from the blood to the brain. Increases in fructose-1,6-diphosphate, lactate, α-ketoglutarate, and malate are compatible with an increased metabolic flux in the glycolytic pathway and Krebs citric acid cycle. As has been previously shown for urea and/or mannitol, these changes may result from the effects of the hyperosmolar glycerol solution on the blood-brain barrier and on cerebral glucose utilization. The sustained lowering of plasma Na+ concentration after a single “therapeutic” glycerol injection suggests a need for monitoring plasma Na+ levels in the clinical situation. Possible lowering of hepatic ATP levels by the use of glycerol in humans is another concern. 相似文献

Effects of prolonged guanidinoethanesulphonate administration on taurine and other amino acids in rat tissues 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In order to deplete tissue taurine, 2-guanidinoethanesulphonate, a structural analogue of taurine was administered in drinking water with taurine-free diet to adult rats for four weeks. As a consequence the taurine concentrations in the blood serum, liver, kidney, spleen, intestine, lung, heart, muscle and cerebellum fell by nearly one half. Threonine, serine, glycine, alanine, methionine, tyrosine, lysine and histidine concentrations increased in blood plasma. Similar changes were also discernible in the heart and muscle. In the kidney and the lung the concentrations of several other amino acids fell as well, though increments occurred in the threonine content in the kidney and in threonine, serine and methionine contents in the lung. Taurine was practically the only amino acid the level of which fell in the liver, spleen, intestine and cerebellum. These findings indicate that 2-guanidinoethanesulphonate combined with taurine-free diet effectively lowers tissue taurine levels, but its action is not specific to taurine. It may be used as a tool to elucidate the physiological functions of taurine in the body. 相似文献

1. In 48 h-starved 6-week-old rats the 14C incorporation in vivo into blood glucose from a constant-specific-radioactivity pool of circulating [14c]actateconfirmed that lactate is the preferred gluconeogenic substrate. 2. Increasing the blood [alanine] to that occurrring in the fed state increased 14C incorporation into blood glucose 2.3-fold from [14c]alanine and 1.7-fold from [14c]lactate. 3. When the blood [alanine] was increased to that in the fed state, the 14C incorporation into liver glycogen from circulating [14c]alanine or [14c]lactate increased 13.5- and 1.7-fold respectively. 4. The incorporation of 14C into blood acetoacetate and 3-hydroxybutyrate from a constant-specific-radioactivity pool of circulating [14c]oleate was virtually abolished by increasing the blood [alanine] to that existing in the fed state. However, the [acetoacetate] remained unchanged, whereas [3-hydroxybutyrate] decreased, although less rapidly than did its radiochemical concentration. 5. It is concluded that during starvation in 6-week-old rats, the blood [alanine] appears to influence ketogenesis for circulating unesterfied fatty acids and inversely affects gluconeogenesis from either lactate or alanine. A different pattern of gluconeogenesis may exist for alanine and lactate as evidenced by comparative 14C incorporation into liver glycogen and blood glucose. 相似文献
