Four groups of rats were subjected to the following conditions: (1) 48 h fasting, (2) 48 h of 4 degrees C cold exposure, (3) 5 h treadmill running, (4) 48 h fasting with 4 degrees C cold exposure. The groups were compared to fed control rats in order to study hormonal and metabolic responses in blood and tissue samples. Isolated hepatocytes were used to evaluate the rate of ketogenesis. Decreases in liver glycogen and increases in blood free fatty acids (FFA) confirmed that glycogenolysis and lipolysis occur in these situations of metabolic stress. Increases in the glucagon/insulin plasma ratio were also noted. Plasma catecholamine levels were only enhanced after running and after cold exposure. Production of blood ketone bodies was stimulated more by running and by fasting than by cold exposure. The low ketone body production observed after cold exposure seems to be linked to increases liver glycogen levels and decreased FFA availability. Liver cells isolated after cold exposure exhibited higher ketogenesis than these isolated after running. This difference in ketogenic capacity could result both from the longer hormonal stimulation by high glucagon/insulin plasma ratios and from the metabolic state of the liver.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).
