1. Glucose turnover in fed and 48 h-starved lactating goats was determined during a glucose load of 500 μmol/min using a continuous infusion of [U-14C]- and [3-3H]glucose.2. Endogenous rates of irreversible glucose turnover (i.e. total rates of irreversible glucose turnover minus the rate of exogenous glucose supply) were depressed during glucose loading by 14 and 62% in the fed and starved animals respectively.3. Plasma glucose concentrations increased significantly by 57 and 88% in the fed and starved goats respectively. Plasma insulin concentrations increased by 108 and 128% in the fed and starved animals respectively.4. Milk yields increased significantly (41%) in the starved animals during glucose loading, but were unaffected in fed animals.5. In both the fed and 48 h-starved goats, mammary glucose metabolism via glycolysis and the pentose phosphate pathway appeared to be stimulated by glucose loading.

1. [U-14C]Glucose and [3-3H]glucose were infused into fed and starved lactating goats in order to study glucose metabolism in the mammary gland. 2. Glucose carbon was oxidized and metabolizet to milk lactose, citrate and triacylglycerol in the lactating goat udder. 3. Recycling of glucose carbon in the lactating animal accounted for 10-20% of the total glucose turnover in the whole animal. Recycling of glucose 6-phosphate in the udder accounted for about 25% of the glucose 6-phosphate metabolized. 4. Flux of glucose 6-phosphate through the pentose phosphate pathway was sufficient to account for 34% of the NADPH required for fatty acid synthesis in the gland in the fed animal. 5. Net metabolism of glucose 6-phosphate via the pentose phosphate pathway accounted for 17.8 and 1.2% of the glucose phosphorylated by the mammary gland in the fed and starved animal respectively. Metabolism of glucose 6-phosphate via the pentose phosphate pathway was sufficient to account for all the CO2 produced from glucose in the fed animal, but only 17% of the CO2 produced from glucose in the starved animal.

We have reported previously that a high glycolytic capacity develops soon after birth in enterocytes isolated from suckling newborn pigs. In the present work, we investigated whether such metabolic changes could affect intestinal glucose utilization in vivo and examined possible variations in glucose metabolism along the small intestine. Glucose utilization by individual tissues was assessed using the 2-deoxyglucose technique. The overall glucose utilization rate was doubled in suckling vs. fasting 2-day-old pigs because of significantly higher rates in all tissues studied, except for the brain. In parallel, enterocytes were isolated from the proximal, medium, or distal jejunoileum of newborn vs. 2-day-old pigs and assessed for their capacity to utilize, transport, and phosphorylate glucose. Intestinal glucose consumption accounted for approximately 15% of glucose turnover rate in suckling vs. 8% in fasting pigs. Moreover, there was a proximal-to-distal gradient of glucose utilization in the intestinal mucosa of suckling pigs. Such a gradient was also evidenced on isolated enterocytes. The stimulation of both hexokinase activity (HK2 isoform) and basolateral glucose transporter (GLUT2), as observed in the proximal jejunum, could account for such a site-specific effect of suckling.

Abstract Background Acquired resistance of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) remains a clinical challenge in colorectal cancer (CRC), and efforts to develop targeted agents to reduce resistance have not yielded success. Metabolic reprogramming is a key cancer hallmark and confers several tumor phenotypes including chemoresistance. Glucose metabolic reprogramming events of 5-FU resistance in CRC has not been evaluated, and whether abnormal glucose metabolism could impart 5-FU resistance in CRC is also poorly defined. Methods Three separate acquired 5-FU resistance CRC cell line models were generated, and glucose metabolism was assessed by measuring glucose and lactate utilization, RNA and protein expressions of glucose metabolism-related enzymes and changes of intermediate metabolites of glucose metabolite pool. The protein levels of hypoxia inducible factor 1α (HIF-1α) in primary tumors and circulating tumor cells of CRC patients were detected by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. Stable HIF1A knockdown in cell models was established with a lentiviral system. The influence of both HIF1A gene knockdown and pharmacological inhibition on 5-FU resistance in CRC was evaluated in cell models in vivo and in vitro. Results The abnormality of glucose metabolism in 5-FU-resistant CRC were described in detail. The enhanced glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathway in CRC were associated with increased HIF-1α expression. HIF-1α-induced glucose metabolic reprogramming imparted 5-FU resistance in CRC. HIF-1α showed enhanced expression in 5-FU-resistant CRC cell lines and clinical specimens, and increased HIF-1α levels were associated with failure of fluorouracil analog-based chemotherapy in CRC patients and poor survival. Upregulation of HIF-1α in 5-FU-resistant CRC occurred through non-oxygen-dependent mechanisms of reactive oxygen species-mediated activation of PI3K/Akt signaling and aberrant activation of β-catenin in the nucleus. Both HIF-1α gene knock-down and pharmacological inhibition restored the sensitivity of CRC to 5-FU. Conclusions HIF-1α is a potential biomarker for 5-FU-resistant CRC, and targeting HIF-1a in combination with 5-FU may represent an effective therapeutic strategy in 5-FU-resistant CRC.

Mean Glucose

The glucose replacement rate, percent carbon recycling, mean glucose transit time, and the glucose mass were determined in fasted unanesthetized rabbits after administration of [2-3H,U-14C]-, [3-3H,U-14C]-, [5-3H,U-14C]- or [6-3H,U-14C]glucose using the procedures of Katz et al. (10). The glucose replacement rates and carbon recycling determined with [2-3H,U-14C] and [5-3H,U-14C]glucose are equivalent and greater than those obtained with [3-3H,U-14C]- and [6-3H,U-14C]glucose. Although the means of the glucose replacement rates and percent carbon recycling obtained using [3-3H,U-14C]- and [6-3H,U-14C]glucose are similar, greater variation resulted using the former tracer. Comparisons of detritiation rates and percent carbon recycling using [2-3H,U-14C]- and [6-3H,U-14C]glucose suggest that about 10% of tritium is lost from carbon 2 via futile cycling at the glucose 6-phosphate level. Similarly, comparisons of [5-3H,U-14C]- and [6-3H,U-14C]glucose metabolism suggest that about 10% of tritium lost from carbon 5 occurs via futile cycling at the fructose diphosphate level and/or via the transaldolase reaction. Our results indicate that [6-3H,U-14C]glucose is the more suitable tracer for determining the glucose replacement rate and carbon recycling in vivo.

The Impact

AMPK plays a central role in influencing fuel usage and selection. The aim of this study was to analyze the impact of low-dose AMP analog 5-aminoimidazole-4-carboxamide-1-β-d-ribosyl monophosphate (ZMP) on whole body glucose turnover and skeletal muscle (SkM) glucose metabolism. Dogs were restudied after prior 48-h fatty acid oxidation (FAOX) blockade by methylpalmoxirate (MP; 5 × 12 hourly 10 mg/kg doses). During the basal equilibrium period (0–150 min), fasting dogs ( n = 8) were infused with [3-3H]glucose followed by either 2-h saline or AICAR (1.5–2.0 mg·kg−1·min−1) infusions. SkM was biopsied at completion of each study. On a separate day, the same protocol was undertaken after 48-h in vivo FAOX blockade. The AICAR and AICAR + MP studies were repeated in three chronic alloxan-diabetic dogs. AICAR produced a transient fall in plasma glucose and increase in insulin and a small decline in free fatty acid (FFA). Parallel increases in hepatic glucose production (HGP), glucose disappearance (Rd tissue), and glycolytic flux (GF) occurred, whereas metabolic clearance rate of glucose (MCRg) did not change significantly. Intracellular SkM glucose, glucose 6-phosphate, and glycogen were unchanged. Acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC∼pSer221) increased by 50%. In the AICAR + MP studies, the metabolic responses were modified: the glucose was lower over 120 min, only minor changes occurred with insulin and FFA, and HGP and Rd tissue responses were markedly attenuated, but MCRg and GF increased significantly. SkM substrates were unchanged, but ACC∼pSer221 rose by 80%. Thus low-dose AICAR leads to increases in HGP and SkM glucose uptake, which are modified by prior FAox blockade.

The present study evaluates the influence of different amounts of fat added to starch on postprandial glucose metabolism (exogenous and endogenous). Nine women (24 (SE 2) YEARS OLD, BMI 20·4 (se 0·7) kg/m2) ingested 1 week apart 75 g glucose equivalent of 13C-labelled starch in the form of pasta without (low fat; LF) or with 15 (medium fat; MF) or 40 (high fat; HF) g sunflower oil. During the 7 h following meal consumption, plasma glucose, non-esterified fatty acids, triacylglycerols (TG) and insulin concentrations, and endogenous (using [6,6-2H2]glucose) and exogenous glucose turnover were determined. With MF and HF meals, a lower postprandial glucose peak was observed, but with a secondary recovery. A decrease in exogenous glucose appearance explained lower glycaemia in HF. At 4 h after the HF meal the insulin, insulin:glucose and postprandial blood TG were higher than those measured after the LF and MF meals. Despite higher insulinaemia, total glucose disappearance was similar and endogenous glucose production was suppressed less than after the LF and MF meals, suggesting insulin resistance. Thus, the addition of a large amount of fat appears to be unfavourable to glucose metabolism because it leads to a feature of insulin resistance. On the contrary, the MF meal did not have these adverse effects, but it was able to decrease the initial glycaemic peak.

Glucose metabolism was studied in anesthetized lactating rats in the postabsorptive state. Basal levels of blood glucose and plasma insulin were lower in 12-day-lactating rats than in age-matched nonlactating rats. When the pups were removed for 24 h, the maternal blood glucose level reached a value intermediate between lactating and nonlactating values, and the plasma insulin level was the same as in nonlactating rats. Glucose turnover was increased from 3 days postpartum on in lactating rats compared with nonlactating rats. At peak lactation (12-19 days) glucose turnover was 80% higher in lactating than in nonlactating rats. In the lactating rats weaned for 24 h, glucose turnover returned to the value of the nonlactating rats. Insulin secretion in response to an intravenous glucose load (IVGTT) was not modified in lactating rats compared with nonlactating rats but was increased threefold in weaned rats. This suggests that nonlactating tissues are insulin resistant during lactation. During euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, glucose clearance was increased threefold in lactating and in nonlactating rats and twofold in weaned rats, suggesting that glucose metabolism in the mammary gland is affected by insulin. Measurement of lipogenesis gave direct evidence for the insulin responsiveness of the mammary gland and for the insulin resistance of adipose tissue during lactation.

ABSTRACT The structurally conserved and ubiquitous pathways of central carbon metabolism provide building blocks and cofactors for the biosynthesis of cellular macromolecules. The relative uses of pathways and reactions, however, vary widely among species and depend upon conditions, and some are not used at all. Here we identify the network topology of glucose metabolism and its in vivo operation by quantification of intracellular carbon fluxes from 13C tracer experiments. Specifically, we investigated Agrobacterium tumefaciens, two pseudomonads, Sinorhizobium meliloti, Rhodobacter sphaeroides, Zymomonas mobilis, and Paracoccus versutus, which grow on glucose as the sole carbon source, represent fundamentally different metabolic lifestyles (aerobic, anaerobic, photoheterotrophic, and chemoheterotrophic), and are phylogenetically distinct (firmicutes, γ-proteobacteria, and α-proteobacteria). Compared to those of the model bacteria Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis, metabolisms of the investigated species differed significantly in several respects: (i) the Entner-Doudoroff pathway was the almost exclusive catabolic route; (ii) the pentose phosphate pathway exhibited exclusively biosynthetic functions, in many cases also requiring flux through the nonoxidative branch; (iii) all aerobes exhibited fully respiratory metabolism without significant overflow metabolism; and (iv) all aerobes used the pyruvate bypass of the malate dehydrogenase reaction to a significant extent. Exclusively, Pseudomonas fluorescens converted most glucose extracellularly to gluconate and 2-ketogluconate. Overall, the results suggest that metabolic data from model species with extensive industrial and laboratory history are not representative of microbial metabolism, at least not quantitatively.

1. Glucose turnover (i.e. glucose entry and utilization rates) in fed and 48 h starved goats during pregnancy and lactation was determined using a continuous infusion of [U-14C]- and [3-3H]glucose.2. Glucose synthesis and utilization increased during pregnancy and lactation in fed but not in starved goats.3. Recycling of giucosc-C was approximately 10% in fed animals and 15–20% in starved animals and was unaffected by the stage of pregnancy or lactation.4. Plasma glucose concentrations were maintained during pregnancy and lactation in fed goats but decreased during 48 h starvation in pregnant goats. Little change was seen in the plasma concentration of lipids and their metabolites during pregnancy and lactation in fed goats, but increases were observed after 48 h starvation.5. The control of glucose metabolism in ruminants during pregnancy and lactation is discussed.

1. The specific radioactivity of plasma d-glucose and the incorporation of 14C into plasma l-lactate, liver glycogen and skeletal-muscle glycogen was measured as a function of time after the intraperitoneal injection of d-[6-14C]glucose and d-[6-3H]glucose into newborn, 2-, 10- and 30-day-old rats. 2. The log of the specific radioactivity of both plasma d-[6-14C]- and d-[6-3H]-glucose of the 2-, 10- and 30-day-old rats decreased linearly with time for at least 60min after injection of labelled glucose. The specific radioactivity of both plasma d-[6-14C]- and d-[6-3H]-glucose of the newborn rat remained constant for at least 75min after injection. 3. The glucose turnover rate of the 30-day-old rat was significantly greater than (approximately twice) that of the 2- and 10-day-old rats. The relative size of both the glucose pool and the glucose space decreased with age. Less than 10% of the glucose utilized in the 2-, 10- and 30-day-old rats was recycled via the Cori cycle. 4. The results are discussed in relationship to the availability of dietary glucose and other factors that may influence glucose metabolism in the developing rat.
