Abstract
BACKGROUND: Postprandial suppression of endogenous glucose production and regulation of glucose homeostasis involve alterations of whole body and hepatic glycogenolysis and glycogen breakdown. These parameters can be estimated by the simultaneous measurement of net total and exogenous, (13)C-labeled, glucose oxidation. METHODS: Eight subjects were studied on 3 occasions, while receiving oral loads of 60 mg, 120 or 180 mg (13)C glucose/kg every hour for 4 consecutive hours. Net glucose oxidation was calculated from indirect calorimetry, and exogenous glucose oxidation from (13)CO(2) production. These parameters were evaluated during the hour following the fourth glucose load. Whole body endogenous glycogen breakdown was calculated as (net glucose oxidation) - (exogenous glucose oxidation). Total glycogen synthesis was calculated as (glucose load) - (exogenous glucose oxidation). Whole body glucose turnover was measured with 6.6 (2)H(2) glucose. The systemic appearance of oral, (13)C labeled glucose was monitored, and the suppression of endogenous glucose production was calculated. RESULTS: Plasma glucose tracers had reached near steady state during the hour following the fourth glucose load. Glucose ingestion dose-dependently suppressed endogenous glycogen breakdown and stimulated total glycogen synthesis. Endogenous glycogen breakdown was completely inhibited with 180 mg oral glucose/kg. Endogenous glucose production was suppressed in a dose-dependent way, but remained positive with all 3 doses. The first pass splanchnic glucose uptake averaged 25-35%. CONCLUSION: Repeated administration of small doses of (13)C labeled glucose allow to reach near steady state conditions after four hours, and to non-invasively evaluate whole body glycogen turnover and hepatic glucose metabolism.
