Estimates of the spanchnic retention and appearance in the systemic circulation of orally administered glucose vary among laboratories even after recently identified sources of error have been accounted for [Livesey, G., P. D. G. Wilson, J. R. Dainty, J. C. Brown, R. M. Faulks, M. A. Roe, T. A. Newman, J. Eagles, F. A. Mellon, and R. Greenwood. Am. J. Physiol. 275 (Endocrinol. Metab. 38): E717-E728, 1998]. We questioned whether, in healthy humans, D-glucose delivered intraluminally to the midjejunum appeared systemically as extensively as that delivered intraduodenally. Subjects were infused over a period of 90 min with 50 g of glucose in 1 liter of isotonic saline (incorporating 0.5 g D-[13C6]glucose) per 70 kg of body weight. Infusions were via enteral tubes terminating approximately 15 and 100 cm postpylorus. The systemic appearance of glucose was monitored by means of a primed-continuous intravenous infusion of D-[6,6-2H2]glucose. Whereas 98 +/- 2% (n = 7) of the duodenally infused glucose appeared in the systemic circulation, only 35 +/- 9% (n = 7) of midjejunally infused glucose did so, implying that 65 +/- 9% was retained in the splanchnic bed. Either glucose was less efficiently absorbed at the midintestinal site or hepatic glucose sequestration was increased 10-fold, or both. The proximal intestine plays a key role in the delivery of glucose to the systemic circulation, and the distal intestine potentially delivers more glucose to the liver.
