Hepatic glucose production is autoregulated during infusion of gluconeogenic precursors. In hyperglycemic patients with multiple trauma, hepatic glucose production and gluconeogenesis are increased, suggesting that autoregulation of hepatic glucose production may be defective. To better understand the mechanisms of autoregulation and its possible alterations in metabolic stress, lactate was coinfused with glucose in healthy volunteers and in hyperglycemic patients with multiple trauma or critical illness. In healthy volunteers, infusion of glucose alone nearly abolished endogenous glucose production. Lactate increased gluconeogenesis (as indicated by a decrease in net carbohydrate oxidation with no change in total [13C]carbohydrate oxidation) but did not increase endogenous glucose production. In patients with metabolic stress, endogenous glucose production was not suppressed by exogenous glucose, but lactate did not further increase hepatic glucose production. It is concluded that 1) in healthy humans, autoregulation of hepatic glucose production during infusion of lactate is still present when glycogenolysis is suppressed by exogenous glucose and 2) autoregulation of hepatic glucose production is not abolished in hyperglycemic patients with metabolic stress.

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).

D010289 Parenteral Nutrition, Total The delivery of nutrients for assimilation and utilization by a patient whose sole source of nutrients is via solutions administered intravenously, subcutaneously, or by some other non-alimentary route. The basic components of TPN solutions are protein hydrolysates or free amino acid mixtures, monosaccharides, and electrolytes. Components are selected for their ability to reverse catabolism, promote anabolism, and build structural proteins.
