Ethanol and glycogen synthesis in cardiothoracic and skeletal muscles following glucose re-feeding after starvation in the rat.

ABSTRACT: The pattern of glycogen deposition in individual cardiothoracic and skeletal muscles in response to oral and intraperitoneal glucose administration was examined in 40 h-starved rats. Rates of glycogen synthesis were consistently higher in oxidative muscles than in non-oxidative muscles. Intragastric ethanol administration was associated with an impaired glycaemic response and the almost total abolition of glycogen deposition in oxidative muscles in response to oral or intraperitoneal glucose re-feeding. This effect was dose-dependent and differential, in that ethanol produced no equivalent impairment in glycogen deposition in non-oxidative muscles. Ethanol treatment also selectively promoted glycogenolysis in oxidative muscles in the starved state. There was positive correlation (P < 0.001) between the decrease in glycogen levels in soleus and diaphragm muscles in response to increasing ethanol doses and blood glucose and lactate concentrations after intraperitoneal glucose administration, implying that the basis for the impairment in glycogen synthesis may be diminished glucose availability. The mechanism whereby ethanol may differentially compromise carbohydrate metabolism in oxidative muscles is discussed.

Glucose disposal by skeletal muscle in response to re-feeding after progressive starvation.

Project description:We investigated the extent to which increases in glucose utilization indices (GUIs) in individual skeletal muscles during chow re-feeding after 6 h, 24 h or 48 h starvation are related to the antecedent duration of starvation. Chow re-feeding after either acute or prolonged starvation led to an increase in glucose disposal by the muscle mass. Glucose intolerance after prolonged starvation was not associated with lower values of GUI in skeletal muscle. In both working and non-working muscles, the increment in GUI during the first 2 h of re-feeding was less after acute than after prolonged starvation. In non-working muscles the differential responses to re-feeding were due to higher GUI values after re-feeding rather than lower pre-prandial GUI values. Therefore the contribution of non-working muscles to glucose clearance is higher as the antecedent period of starvation is extended. Rates of glycogen deposition in non-working muscles after refeeding were similar to absolute values of GUI, and a strong relationship existed between measured GUI values and rates of glycogen deposition.

Carcass glycogen repletion on carbohydrate re-feeding after starvation.

Project description:In mice, the response of carcass glycogen to glucose re-feeding after starvation is biphasic. The initial repletive phase is followed by partial (greater than 50%) glycogen mobilization. This turnover of carcass glycogen in response to carbohydrate re-feeding may play an important role in the provision of C3 precursors for hepatic glycogen synthesis.

Glucose transporter expression and glucose utilization in skeletal muscle and brown adipose tissue during starvation and re-feeding.

Project description:Starvation (48 h) decreased the concentration of mRNA of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter isoform (GLUT 4) in interscapular brown adipose tissue (IBAT) (56%) and tibialis anterior (10%). Despite dramatic [7-fold (tibialis anterior) and 40-fold (IBAT)] increases in glucose utilization after 2 and 4 h of chow re-feeding, no significant changes in GLUT 4 mRNA concentration were observed in these tissues over this re-feeding period. The results exclude changes in GLUT 4 mRNA concentration in mediating the responses of glucose transport in these tissues to acute re-feeding after prolonged starvation.

Hepatic carbon flux after re-feeding. Hyperthyroidism blocks glycogen synthesis and the suppression of glucose output observed in response to carbohydrate re-feeding.

Project description:1. The work investigated hepatic glycogen synthesis and glucose output after the intragastric administration of glucose or glycerol or the provision of chow ad libitum to 48 h-starved euthyroid or hyperthyroid rats. 2. After glucose administration, glycogen synthesis via the indirect pathway [Newgard, Hirsch, Foster & McGarry (1983) J. Biol. Chem. 258, 8046-8052] occurred concomitantly with reversal of glucose flux across the liver and re-activation of pyruvate kinase in the euthyroid controls. Glycogen synthesis was decreased and net glucose output continued in the hyperthyroid rats, but normal re-activation of pyruvate kinase was observed. 3. Use of 3-mercaptopicolinate indicated that the glucose released from liver of hyperthyroid rats was synthesized from substrates metabolized via the gluconeogenic pathway. 4. Hepatic glycogen synthesis was also impaired in hyperthyroid rats after administration of glycerol or chow. Measurement of portal-minus-hepatovenous concentration differences and arterial glucose concentrations after the administration of glycerol in combination with 3-mercaptopicolinate indicated that flux from triose phosphate to glucose 6-phosphate was not decreased. 5. Inhibited glycogen synthesis after chow re-feeding was associated with accelerated re-activation of hepatic pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in the hyperthyroid rats. 6. The results indicate three distinct and independent actions of hyperthyroidism after re-feeding: (i) it inhibits the reversal of glucose flux across the liver normally observed in response to carbohydrate; (ii) it affects glycogen deposition at a site distal to glucose 6-phosphate; (iii) it allows more rapid re-activation of liver pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in response to a mixed diet.

Re-feeding after starvation involves a temporal shift in the control site of glycogen synthesis in rat muscle.

Project description:The starved-to-fed transition is accompanied by rapid glycogen deposition in skeletal muscles. On the basis of recent findings [Bräu, Ferreira, Nikolovski, Raja, Palmer and Fournier (1997) Biochem. J. 322, 303-308] that during recovery from exercise there is a shift from a glucose 6-phosphate/phosphorylation-based control of glycogen synthesis to a phosphorylation-based control alone, this paper seeks to establish whether a similar shift occurs in muscle during re-feeding after starvation in the rat. Chow re-feeding after 48 h of starvation resulted in glycogen deposition in all muscles examined (white, red and mixed quadriceps, soleus and diaphragm) to levels higher than those in the fed state. Although the early phase of re-feeding was associated with increases in glucose 6-phosphate levels in all muscles, there was no accompanying increase in the fractional velocity of glycogen synthase except in the white quadriceps muscle. This finding, together with the observation that the fractional velocity of glycogen synthase in most muscles was already high in the starved state, suggests that in the initial phase of glycogen deposition the phosphorylation state of the enzyme may be adequate to support net glycogen synthesis. In the later phase of re-feeding, the progressive decrease in the fractional velocity of glycogen synthase in association with a decrease in the rate of glycogen deposition suggests that glycogen synthesis is controlled primarily by changes in the phosphorylation state of glycogen synthase. In conclusion, this study suggests that there is a temporal shift in the site of control of glycogen synthesis as glycogen deposition progresses during re-feeding after starvation.

Effects of re-feeding after prolonged starvation on pyruvate dehydrogenase activities in heart, diaphragm and selected skeletal muscles of the rat.

Project description:We investigated the capacity for pyruvate oxidation in skeletal muscle, diaphragm and heart after starvation and re-feeding. Starvation for 48 h decreased pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) activity in soleus (by 47%), extensor digitorum longus (64%), gastrocnemius (86%), diaphragm (87%), adductor longus (90%), tibialis anterior (92%) and heart (99%). Chow re-feeding increased PDH activity in all muscles to 43-78% of the fed value within 2 h. However, complete re-activation was not observed for at least 4-6 h, during which time hepatic glycogen was replenished. We discuss the importance of muscle PDH activity in relation to sparing carbohydrate for hepatic glycogen synthesis.

The effects of starvation and re-feeding on glycogen metabolism in mouse tail skin.

Project description:Although the glycogen content of mouse tail skin was decreased during starvation and was restored on re feeding, the proportion of glycogen synthase in the I form remained constant throughout at about 10% of the total. During the phase of net glycogen synthesis 1.5h after access to food was restored, the concentration of UDP glucose was markedly increased and the proportion of phosphorylase in the a form was significantly decreased.

Hepatic glycogen synthesis on carbohydrate re-feeding after starvation. A regulatory role for pyruvate dehydrogenase in liver and extrahepatic tissues.

Project description:Glucose administration to 48 h-starved rats increased hepatic glucose, lactate, pyruvate and glycogen concentrations and re-activated PDH (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) in kidney, but not in heart or liver. Dichloroacetate together with glucose re-activated PDH in all three tissues, decreased hepatic lactate and pyruvate concentrations and impaired glycogen resynthesis. Thus on re-feeding, delayed PDH re-activation is important for provision of precursors for hepatic glyconeogenesis.

Acute inhibition by ethanol of intestinal absorption of glucose and hepatic glycogen synthesis on glucose refeeding after starvation in the rat.

Project description:1. Intragastric administration of ethanol (75 mmol/kg body wt.) at 1 h before glucose refeeding of 24 h-starved rats inhibited hepatic glycogen deposition (by 69%) and synthesis (by approx. 70%), but was without significant effect on muscle glycogen deposition and synthesis. 2. Treatment of ethanol-administered rats with methylpyrazole (an inhibitor of alcohol dehydrogenase) did not significantly diminish the inhibitory effect of ethanol on hepatic glycogen deposition after glucose refeeding, suggesting that the inhibition was not dependent on ethanol metabolism. 3. Ethanol delayed and diminished intestinal glucose absorption, at least in part by delaying gastric emptying. 4. At a lower dose (10 mmol/kg body wt.), ethanol inhibited hepatic glycogen repletion and synthesis without compromising intestinal glucose absorption. Ethanol inhibited glycogen deposition (by 40%) in hepatocytes from starved rats provided with glucose + lactate + pyruvate as substrates, consistent with it having a direct effect to diminish hepatic glycogen synthesis by inhibition of gluconeogenic flux at a site(s) between phosphoenolpyruvate and triose phosphate in the pathway. 5. It is concluded that ethanol acutely impairs hepatic glycogen repletion by inhibition at at least two distinct sites, namely (a) intestinal glucose absorption and (b) hepatic gluconeogenic flux.

Studies in lipogenesis in vivo: Fatty acid and cholesterol synthesis during starvation and re-feeding.

Project description:1. Lipogenesis in vivo has been studied in mice given a 250mg. meal of [U-(14)C]glucose (2.5muc) or given an intraperitoneal injection of 25mug. of [U-(14)C]glucose (2.0muc). 2. The ability to convert a [U-(14)C]glucose meal into fatty acid was not significantly depressed by 6-7hr. of starvation. In contrast, incorporation of (14)C into fatty acid in the liver after the intraperitoneal dose of [(14)C]glucose was depressed by 80% and by more than 90% by 1 and 2hr. of starvation respectively. Carcass fatty acid synthesis from the [U-(14)C]glucose meal was not depressed by 12hr. of starvation, whereas from the tracer dose of [U-(14)C]glucose the depression in incorporation was 80% after 6hr. of starvation. 3. Re-feeding for 3 days, after 3 days' starvation, raised fatty acid synthesis and cholesterol synthesis in the liver fivefold and tenfold respectively above the levels in non-starved control mice. These increases were associated with an increased amount of both fatty acid and cholesterol in the liver. 4. After 18hr. of starvation incorporation of a [U-(14)C]glucose meal into carcass and liver glycogen were both increased threefold.
