AIM: To study the effect of nimodipine (Nim) on ischemic cerebral damage. METHODS: The four-vessel occlusion method was performed on rats. Monoamines were measured by fluorospectrophotometry. RESULTS: Intraperitoneal injection of Nim 0.75 and 1.5 mg.kg-1 quickened the recovery of EEG changes to 19 +/- 3 and 17 +/- 4 min (P < 0.01), respectively. Nim reduced the decreases of monoamines (NE, DA, 5-HT, and 5-HIAA) contents after 30-min cerebral ischemia and 1-h reperfusion. CONCLUSION: Nim protects the brain from ischemic damage. 相似文献

OBJECTIVES: To investigate the dynamic parathyroid response to rapidly induced, sustained hypocalcaemia in patients with acute malaria and in healthy volunteers. DESIGN: Serum intact parathormone (PTH) concentrations were measured on samples taken before and during a variable-rate tri-sodium citrate infusion designed to 'clamp' the whole blood ionised calcium concentration 0.20 mmol L-1 below baseline for 120 min. SUBJECTS: Six Malaysian patients aged 17-42 years with acute malaria, four of whom were restudied in convalescence, and 12 healthy controls aged 19-36 years. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Whole-blood ionised calcium and serum intact PTH concentrations. RESULTS: The mean (SD baseline ionised calcium was lower in the malaria patients than in controls (1.09 +/- 0.06 vs. 1.18 +/- 0.03 mmol L-1, respectively; P = 0.01) but PTH concentrations were similar (3.0 +/- 1.8 vs. 3.3 +/- 1.3 pmol L(-1); P = 0.33). Target whole-blood ionised calcium concentrations were achieved more rapidly in the controls than the patients (within 15 vs. 30 min) despite significantly more citrate being required in the patients (area under the citrate infusion-time curve 0.95 (0.25 vs. 0.57 +/- 0.09 mmol kg-1; P < 0.01). The ratio of the change in serum PTH to that in ionised calcium (delta PTH/ delta Ca2+), calculated to adjust for differences in initial rate of fall of ionised calcium, was similar during the first 5 min of the clamp (132 +/- 75 x 10(-6) vs. 131 +/- 43 x 10(-6) in patients and controls, respectively, P > 0.05), as were steady-state serum PTH levels during the second hour (7.0 +/- 2.2 pmol L-1 in each case). Convalescent patients had normal basal ionised calcium levels but the lowest serum intact PTH levels before and during the clamp, consistent with an increase in skeletal PTH sensitivity after treatment. CONCLUSIONS: There is a decreased ionised calcium 'set point' for basal PTH secretion but a normal PTH response to acute hypocalcaemia in malaria. Skeletal resistance may attenuate the effects of the PTH response but patients with malaria appear relatively resistant to the calcium chelating effects of citrated blood products. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To study the mechanisms of limited exercise capacity and skeletal muscle energy production in male patients with congestive heart failure. DESIGN: Muscle biopsy study. PATIENTS: Skeletal muscle metabolic response to maximal bicycle exercise was studied in 10 patients with chronic congestive heart failure (ejection fraction 0.22 +/- 0.05; peak oxygen consumption, VO2 15.1 +/- 4.9 ml.min-1.kg-1) and in nine healthy subjects (peak VO2 33.5 +/- 6.7 ml.min-1.kg-1). Activities of skeletal muscle enzymes were measured from the vastus lateralis muscle of 48 patients (ejection fraction 0.24 +/- 0.06, peak VO2 17.4 +/- 5.4 ml.min-1.kg-1) and 36 healthy subjects (peak VO2 38.3 +/- 8.4 ml.min-1.kg-1). RESULTS: Although blood lactate levels were lower in patients than in healthy subjects (2.2 +/- 0.3 vs 5.2 +/- 0.6 mmol.l-1; P < 0.001) at peak exercise (96 +/- 11 W for patients and 273 +/- 14 W for controls), skeletal muscle lactate was similarly elevated (25.6 +/- 3.2 vs 22.7 +/- 2.7 mmol.kg-1) and creatine phosphate was equally depressed (P < 0.02) to low levels (7.0 +/- 1.9 vs 6.7 +/- 0.9 mmol.kg-1). The muscle ATP decreased by 21% (P < 0.05) and 8% (P < 0.01) in the patients and controls, respectively. Activities of rate limiting enzymes of the citric acid cycle (alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase) and oxidation of free fatty acids (carnitine palmitoyltransferase II) were 48% and 21% lower than in controls, but the mean phosphofructokinase activity was unchanged in congestive heart failure. CONCLUSIONS: It seems that the main limiting factor of exercise performance during heavy exercise is the same in congestive heart failure and healthy subjects, a high rate of skeletal muscle lactate accumulation and high-energy phosphate depletion. In congestive heart failure, the low activity of aerobic enzymes is likely to impair energy production and lead to lactate acidosis at low workloads. 相似文献

To assess muscle substrate exchange during hypoglycaemia, 8 healthy young male subjects were studied twice during 2 h of hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemia followed by 4 h of (1) hypoglycaemia (plasma glucose < 2.8 mmol l-1), and (2) euglycaemia. Insulin was infused at a rate of 1.5 mU kg-1 min-1 throughout. When compared to euglycaemia, hypoglycaemia was associated with: (1) increment in circulating glucagon (65 +/- 8 vs 23 +/- 4 ng l-1, p < 0.05), growth hormone (19.9 +/- 3.6 vs 2.6 +/- 1.3 micrograms l-1, p < 0.05), adrenaline (410 +/- 88 vs 126 +/- 32 ng l-1, p < 0.05) and increased suppression of C-peptide (0.5 +/- 0.1 vs 1.0 +/- 0.1 micrograms l-1, p < 0.05) along with a modest lowering of insulin (103 +/- 10 vs 130 +/- 13 mU l-1, p < 0.05); (b) decrease in plasma glucose level (3.0 +/- 0.07 vs 5.0 +/- 0.12 mmol l-1, p < 0.05), forearm glucose uptake (0.21 +/- 0.09 vs 1.21 +/- 0.21 mmol l-1, p < 0.05) and requirement for exogenous glucose (5.6 +/- 1.1 vs 13.2 +/- 0.9 mg kg-1 min-1 p < 0.005) together with an impaired suppression of isotopically determined endogenous glucose production (0.34 +/- 0.5 vs -2.3 +/- 0.3 mg kg-1 min-1, p < 0.05); (3) exaggerated increase in blood lactate (1680 +/- 171 vs 1315 +/- 108 mumol l-1, p < 0.05) and a decrease in alanine (215 +/- 18 vs 262 +/- 19 mumol l-1, p < 0.05).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: We tested the hypothesis that impaired tissue sensitivity to catecholamines contributes to hypoglycemia unawareness in subjects with type 1 diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: A total of 21 subjects with type 1 diabetes underwent a standardized insulin infusion protocol to produce a stepwise decrease in plasma glucose to 45-min plateaus of 4.3, 3.6, 3.0, and 2.3 mmol/l. Glycemic thresholds, maximum responses for adrenergic and neuroglycopenic symptoms, and counterregulatory hormones were determined. Patients were classified as hypoglycemia unaware if the initiation of adrenergic symptoms occurred at a plasma glucose level 2 SD below that of nondiabetic volunteers. beta-Adrenergic sensitivity was measured as the dose of isoproterenol required to produce an increment in heart rate of 25 beats per minute above baseline (I25) in resting subjects. RESULTS: Subjects with type 1 diabetes and hypoglycemia unawareness experienced the onset of adrenergic symptoms at a lower plasma glucose level than did those with awareness (2.5+/-0.1 vs. 3.7+/-0.1 mmol/l, P < 0.001), whereas neuroglycopenic symptoms occurred at similar glucose levels (2.7+/-0.2 vs. 2.8+/- 0.1 mmol/l). The plasma glucose levels for counterregulatory hormone secretion (epinephrine 2.9+/-0.2 vs. 4.1+/-0.2 mmol/l; norepinephrine 2.7+/-0.1 vs. 3.2+/-0.2 mmol/l; cortisol 2.5+/-0.2 vs. 3.3+/-0.2 mmol/l, P < 0.01) were also lower in subjects with unawareness. The maximal epinephrine (1,954+/-486 vs. 5,332+/- 1,059 pmol/l, P < 0.01), norepinephrine (0.73 +/- 0.14 vs. 1.47+/-0.21 nmol/l, P = 0.04), and cortisol (276+/-110 vs. 579+/-83 nmol/l, P < 0.01) responses were reduced in the unaware group. I25 was greater in unaware subjects than in subjects without unawareness (1.5+/-0.3 vs. 0.8+/-0.2 microg), where I25 was not different from that of controls (0.8 +/-0.2 microg). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that subjects with type 1 diabetes and hypoglycemia unawareness have reduced beta-adrenergic sensitivity, which may contribute to their impaired adrenergic warning symptoms during hypoglycemia. 相似文献

Young [n = 5, 30 +/- 5 (SD) yr] and middle-aged (n = 4, 58 +/- 4 yr) men and women performed single-leg knee-extension exercise inside a whole body magnetic resonance system. Two trials were performed 7 days apart and consisted of two 2-min bouts and a third bout continued to exhaustion, all separated by 3 min of recovery. 31P spectra were used to determine pH and relative concentrations of Pi, phosphocreatine (PCr), and beta-ATP every 10 s. The subjects consumed 0.3 g . kg-1 . day-1 of a placebo (trial 1) or creatine (trial 2) for 5 days before each trial. During the placebo trial, the middle-aged group had a lower resting PCr compared with the young group (35.0 +/- 5.2 vs. 39.5 +/- 5.1 mmol/kg, P < 0.05) and a lower mean initial PCr resynthesis rate (18.1 +/- 3.5 vs. 23.2 +/- 6.0 mmol . kg-1 . min-1, P < 0.05). After creatine supplementation, resting PCr increased 15% (P < 0.05) in the young group and 30% (P < 0.05) in the middle-aged group to 45.7 +/- 7.5 vs. 45.7 +/- 5.5 mmol/kg, respectively. Mean initial PCr resynthesis rate also increased in the middle-aged group (P < 0.05) to a level not different from the young group (24.3 +/- 3.8 vs. 24.2 +/- 3.2 mmol . kg-1 . min-1). Time to exhaustion was increased in both groups combined after creatine supplementation (118 +/- 34 vs. 154 +/- 70 s, P < 0.05). In conclusion, creatine supplementation has a greater effect on PCr availability and resynthesis rate in middle-aged compared with younger persons. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To determine the alterations in glucose metabolism in elderly patients with NIDDM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We studied 9 healthy elderly control subjects (73 +/- 1 yr of age; body mass index 25.7 +/- 0.4 kg/m2) and 9 untreated elderly NIDDM patients (72 +/- 2 yr of age; BMI 25.9 +/- 0.5 kg/m2). Each subject underwent a 3-h oral glucose tolerance test (40 g/m2); a 2-h hyperglycemic glucose clamp study (glucose 5.4 mM above basal); and a 4-h euglycemic insulin clamp (40 mM.m2.min-1). Tritiated glucose methodology was used to measure glucose production and disposal rates during the euglycemic clamp. RESULTS: Patients with NIDDM had a higher fasting glucose (9.3 +/- 0.3 vs. 5.1 +/- 0.1 mM in control subjects vs. NIDDM patients, respectively, P < 0.001) and a greater area under the curve for glucose during the OGTT (16.0 +/- 0.6 vs. 6.7 +/- 0.3 mM in control subjects vs. NIDDM patients, respectively, P < 0.01) than the healthy control subjects. During the hyperglycemic clamp, patients with NIDDM had an absent first-phase insulin response (112 +/- 6 vs. 250 +/- 31 pM in control subjects vs. NIDDM patients, respectively, P < 0.01), and a blunted second-phase insulin response (159 +/- 11 vs. 337 +/- 46 pM in control subjects vs. NIDDM patients, respectively, P < 0.01). Before the euglycemic clamp, fasting insulin (99 +/- 5 vs. 111 +/- 10 pM in control subjects vs. NIDDM patients, respectively) and hepatic glucose production (11.8 +/- 0.7 vs. 11.5 +/- 0.5 mumol.kg-1-min-1 in control subjects vs. NIDDM patients, respectively) were similar. Steady-state (180-240 min) glucose disposal rates during the euglycemic clamp were slightly, but not significantly, higher in the normal control subjects (36.5 +/- 1.1 vs. 33.1 +/- 1.9 mumol.kg-1-min-1 in control subjects vs. NIDDM patients, respectively, NS). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that NIDDM in nonobese elderly subjects is characterized by a marked impairment in insulin release. This may be attributable to the toxic effects of chronic hyperglycemia on the beta-cell. When compared with age-matched control subjects, the NIDDM patients showed no increase in fasting insulin or hepatic glucose production, and insulin resistance was mild. 相似文献

Insulin release occurs in two phases; sulphonylurea derivatives may have different potencies in stimulating first- and second-phase insulin release. We studied the effect of glibenclamide on insulin secretion at submaximally and maximally stimulating blood glucose levels with a primed hyperglycaemic glucose clamp. Twelve healthy male subjects, age (mean +/- SEM) 22.5 +/- 0.5 years, body mass index (BMI) 21.7 +/- 0.6 kgm-2, were studied in a randomized, double-blind study design. Glibenclamide 10 mg or placebo was taken before a 4-h hyperglycaemic clamp (blood glucose 8 mmol L-1 during the first 2 h and 32 mmol L-1 during the next 2 h). During hyperglycaemic clamp at 8 mmol L-1, the areas under the delta insulin curve (AUC delta insulin, mean +/- SEM) from 0 to 10 min (first phase) were not different: 1007 +/- 235 vs. 1059 +/- 261 pmol L-1 x 10 min (with and without glibenclamide, P = 0.81). However, glibenclamide led to a significantly larger increase in AUC delta insulin from 30 to 120 min (second phase): 16087 +/- 4489 vs. 7107 +/- 1533 pmol L-1 x 90 min (with and without glibenclamide respectively, P < 0.03). The same was true for AUC delta C-peptide no difference from 0 to 10 min but a significantly higher AUC delta C-peptide from 30 to 120 min on the glibenclamide day (P < 0.01). The M/I ratio (mean glucose infusion rate divided by mean plasma insulin concentration) from 60 to 120 min, a measure of insulin sensitivity, did not change: 0.26 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.22 +/- 0.03 mumol kg-1 min-1 pmol L-1 (with and without glibenclamide, P = 0.64). During hyperglycaemic clamp at 32 mmol L-1, the AUC delta insulin from 120 to 130 min (first phase) was not different on both study days: 2411 +/- 640 vs. 3193 +/- 866 pmol L-1 x 10 min (with and without glibenclamide, P = 0.29). AUC delta insulin from 150 to 240 min (second phase) also showed no difference: 59623 +/- 8735 vs. 77389 +/- 15161 pmol L-1 x 90 min (with and without glibenclamide, P = 0.24). AUC delta C-peptide from 120 to 130 min and from 150 to 240 min were slightly lower on the glibenclamide study day (both P < 0.04). The M/I ratio from 180 to 240 min did not change: 0.24 +/- 0.04 vs. 0.30 +/- 0.07 mumol kg-1 min-1 pmol L-1 (with and without glibenclamide, P = 0.25). In conclusion, glibenclamide increases second-phase insulin secretion only at a submaximally stimulating blood glucose level without enhancement of first-phase insulin release and has no additive effect on insulin secretion at maximally stimulating blood glucose levels. Glibenclamide did not change insulin sensitivity in this acute experiment. 相似文献

AIM: To study if bepridil (Bep) could affect the enhancement of activity of cerebral mitochondria Ca2+ Mg(2+)-ATPase caused by levothyroxine (Lev) in relation to ischemic overload calcium cerebrum injury. METHODS: The experimental hyperthyroidism model with ischemic cerebrum was developed in rats by ig Lev 1 mg.kg-1.d-1 for 7 d. Ca2+ Mg(2+)-ATPase activity and its kinetic parameters were assayed. RESULTS: The activity, Vmax and Km of cerebral mitochondria Ca2+ Mg(2+)-ATPase in control rats were 3.1 +/- 0.8, 5.1 +/- 2.3 mmol.P(i).h-1/g protein and 0.81 +/- 0.08 mmol.L-1 (ATP) respectively, whereas those of hyperthyroid rats were significantly altered to 4.6 +/- 0.5, 8.5 +/- 1.9 mmol.P(i).h-1/g protein and 0.49 +/- 0.11 mmol.L-1 (ATP) respectively. After treated with Bep 10 or 20 mg.kg-1.d-1 ig for 3 d, allabove 3 parameters of the enzyme were very significantly reduced vs those of either control or hyperthyroid. CONCLUSION: Bep, via decreasing Ca2+ Mg(2+)-ATPase activity and increasing the affinity of Ca2+ Mg(2+)-ATPase to ATP, could prevent rat cerebrum from ATP depletion and ischemic overload calcium injury. 相似文献

1. The aim of this study was to investigate, by use of spectral analysis, (1) the blood pressure (BP) variability changes in the conscious rat during blockade of nitric oxide (NO) synthesis by the L-arginine analogue NG-nitro-L-arginine methyl ester (L-NAME); (2) the involvement of the renin-angiotensin system in these modifications, by use of the angiotensin II AT1-receptor antagonist losartan. 2. Blockade of NO synthesis was achieved by infusion for 1 h of a low-dose (10 micrograms kg-1 min-1, i.v., n = 10) and high-dose (100 micrograms kg-1 min-1, i.v., n = 10) of L-NAME. The same treatment was applied in two further groups (2 x n = 10) after a bolus dose of losartan (10 mg kg-1, i.v.). 3. Thirty minutes after the start of the infusion of low-dose L-NAME, systolic BP (SBP) increased (+10 +/- 3 mmHg, P < 0.01), with the effect being more pronounced 5 min after the end of L-NAME administration (+20 +/- 4 mmHg, P < 0.001). With high-dose L-NAME, SBP increased immediately (5 min: +8 +/- 2 mmHg, P < 0.05) and reached a maximum after 40 min (+53 +/- 4 mmHg, P < 0.001); a bradycardia was observed (60 min: -44 +/- 13 beats min-1, P < 0.01). 4. Low-dose L-NAME increased the low-frequency component (LF: 0.02-0.2 Hz) of SBP variability (50 min: 6.7 +/- 1.7 mmHg2 vs 3.4 +/- 0.5 mmHg2, P < 0.05), whereas the high dose of L-NAME not only increased the LF component (40 min: 11.7 +/- 2 mmHg2 vs 2.7 +/- 0.5 mmHg2, P < 0.001) but also decreased the mind frequency (MF: 0.2-0.6 Hz) component (60 min: 1.14 +/- 0.3 mmHg2 vs 1.7 +/- 0.1 mmHg2, P < 0.05) of SBP. 5. Losartan did not modify BP levels but had a tachycardic effect (+45 beats min-1). Moreover, losartan increased MF oscillations of SBP (4.26 +/- 0.49 mmHg2 vs 2.43 +/- 0.25 mmHg2, P < 0.001), prevented the BP rise provoked by the low-dose of L-NAME and delayed the BP rise provoked by the high-dose of L-NAME. Losartan also prevented the amplification of the LF oscillations of SBP induced by L-NAME; the decrease of the MF oscillations of SBP induced by L-NAME was reinforced after losartan. 6. We conclude that the renin-angiotensin system is involved in the increase in variability of SBP in the LF range which resulted from the withdrawal of the vasodilating influence of NO. We propose that NO may counterbalance LF oscillations provoked by the activity of the renin-angiotensin system. 相似文献

An anabolic stimulus is needed in addition to conventional nutritional support in the catabolic "flow" phase of severe trauma. One promising therapy appears to be rhGH infusion which has direct as well as hormonal mediated substrate effects. We investigated on a whole-body level, the basic metabolic effects of trauma within 48-60 h after injury in 20 severely injured (injury severity score [ISS] = 31 +/- 2), highly catabolic (N loss = 19 +/- 2 g/d), hypermetabolic (resting energy expenditure [REE] = 141 +/- 5% basal energy expenditure [BEE]), adult (age 46 +/- 5 y) multiple-trauma victims, before starting nutrition therapy and its modification after 1 wk of rhGH supplementation with TPN (1.1 x REE calories, 250 mg N.kg-1.d-1). Group H (n = 10) randomly received at 8:00 a.m. on a daily basis rhGH (0.15 mg.kg-1.d-1) and Group C (n = 10) received the vehicle of infusion. Protein metabolism (turnover, synthesis and breakdown rates, and N balance); glucose kinetics (production, oxidation, and recycling); lipid metabolism, (lipolysis and fat oxidation rates), daily metabolic and fuel substrate oxidation rate (indirect calorimetry); and plasma levels of hormones, substrates, and amino acids were quantified. In group H compared to group C: N balance is less negative (-41 +/- 18 vs -121 +/- 19 mg N.kg-1.d-1, P = 0.001); whole body protein synthesis rate is 28 +/- 2% (P = 0.05) higher; protein synthesis efficiency is higher (62 +/- 2% vs 48 +/- 3%, P = 0.010); plasma glucose level is significantly elevated (256 +/- 25 vs 202 +/- 17 mg/dL, P = 0.05) without affecting hepatic glucose output (1.51 +/- 0.20 vs 1.56 +/- 0.6 mg N.kg-1.min-1), glucose oxidation and recycling rates; significantly enhanced rate of lipolysis (P = 0.006) and free fatty acid reesterification (P = 0.05); significantly elevated plasma levels of anabolic GH, IGF-1, IGFBP-3, and insulin; trauma induced counter-regulatory hormone (cortisol, glucagon, catecholamines) levels are not altered; trauma induced hypoaminoacidemia is normalized (P < 0.05) and 3-methylhistidine excretion is significantly low (P < 0.001). Improved plasma IGF-1 levels in Group H compared with Group C account for protein anabolic effects of adjuvant rhGH and may be helpful in promoting tissue repair and early recovery. Skeletal muscle protein is spared by rhGH resulting in the stimulation of visceral protein breakdown. The hyperglycemic, hyperinsulinemia observed during rhGH supplementation may be due to defective nonoxidative glucose disposal, as well as inhibition of glucose transport activity into tissue cells. The simultaneous operation of increased lipolytic and reesterification processes may allow the adipocyte to respond rapidly to changes in peripheral metabolic fuel requirements during injury. This integral approach helps us to better understand the mechanism of the metabolic effects of rhGH. 相似文献

Little is known about how intravenous fluids influence peritumoral edema formation. This experiment was designed to determine, in a rat glioma model, whether changes in plasma osmolality alter water content, as assessed by specific gravity (SpGr), in normal and neoplastic cerebral tissue. Cells cultured from an ethylnitrosourea-induced rat glioma were stereotactically implanted into the right striatum of Fischer 344 rats. A tumor growth interval of 21 days was allowed. In a second experiment, rats underwent a 60-second cortical freeze injury followed by 24 hours' recovery. In both experiments, rats were assigned to one of three groups: hypotonic (100 ml/kg of 0.2 mol/L NaCl in H2O, intraperitoneally; resultant plasma osmolality approximately 268 mOsm/kg); isotonic (no treatment; plasma osmolality approximately 298 mOsm/kg); or hypertonic (10 ml/kg of 1.0 mol/L NaCl in H2O, intraperitoneally; plasma osmolality approximately 342 mOsm/kg). Thirty minutes after fluid injection, regional SpGr was determined using a kerosene-bromobenzene gradient. In subsets of rats, the tissue morphology and blood-brain barrier permeability of Evans blue dye were assessed. Tissue within the freeze lesion was stained by Evans blue dye with sharp demarcation. Evans blue dye did not stain gliomatous tissue, and central necrosis was not histologically evident. In isotonic rats, glioma SpGr was reduced (1.0411 +/- 0.0012 g/ml) relative to the contralateral striatum (1.0437 +/- 0.0008 g/ml; P < 0.001). Despite this, a strong linear relation was observed for SpGr and plasma osmolality in both neoplastic and normal tissue. Within the freeze lesion in isotonic rats, SpGr was severely reduced (1.0335 +/- 0.0008 g/ml; P < 0.0001) compared with contralateral frontal cortex.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

On three occasions separated by 10 days, six endurance-trained cyclists rode for 2 h at 60% of peak O2 uptake and then performed a simulated 40-km time trial (T-trial). During the rides, the subjects ingested a total of 2 liters of a [U-14C]glucose-labeled beverage containing a random order of either 10% glucose [carbohydrate (CHO)], 4.3% medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs); or 10% glucose + 4.3% MCTs (CHO+MCT). Although replacing CHO with MCTs slowed the T-trials from 66.8 +/- 0.4 (SE) to 72.1 +/- 0.6 min (P < 0.001), adding MCTs to CHO improved the T-trials from 66.8 +/- 0.4 to 65.1 +/- 0.5 min (P < 0.05). Faster T-trials in the CHO+MCT trial than in the CHO trial were associated with increased final circulating concentrations of free fatty acids (0.58 +/- 0.09 vs. 0.36 +/- 0.06 mmol/l; P < 0.05) and ketones (1.51 +/- 0.25 vs. 0.51 +/- 0.07 mmol/l; P < 0.01) and decreased final circulating concentrations of glucose (5.2 +/- 0.2 vs. 6.3 +/- 0.3 mmol/l; P < 0.01) and lactate (1.9 +/- 0.4 vs. 3.7 +/- 0.5 mmol/l; P < 0.05). Adding MCTs to ingested CHO reduced total CHO oxidation rates from 14 +/- 1 to 10 +/- 1 mmol/min at 2 h and from 17 +/- 1 to 14 +/- 1 mmol/min in the T-trial (P < 0.01), without affecting the corresponding approximately 5 and approximately 7 mmol/min rates of [14C]glucose oxidation. These data suggest that MCT oxidation decreased the direct and/or indirect (via lactate) oxidation of muscle glycogen. A reduced reliance on CHO oxidation at a given O2 uptake is similar to an endurance-training effect, and that may explain the improved T-trial performances. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the acute effects of glibenclamide and glucagon-like peptide I (GLP-I) and their combination in perfused isolated rat pancreas and in patients with secondary failure to sulfonylureas. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Rat islets were perfused with 10 nmol/l GLP-I in combination with 2 mumol/l glibenclamide. In human experiments, GLP-I (0.75 pmol. kg-1.min-1) was given as a continuous infusion during 240 min, while glibenclamide (3.5 mg) was administered orally. Eight patients participated in the study (age 57.6 +/- 2.7 years, BMI 28.7 +/- 1.5 kg/m2, mean +/- SE). In all subjects, blood glucose was first normalized by insulin infusion administered by an artificial pancreas (Biostator). RESULTS: GLP-I increased the insulinotropic effect of glibenclamide fourfold in the perfused rat pancreas. In human experiments, treatment with GLP-I alone and in combination with glibenclamide significantly decreased basal glucose levels (5.1 +/- 0.4 and 4.5 +/- 0.1 vs. 6.0 +/- 0.3 mmol/l, P < 0.01), while with only glibenclamide, glucose concentrations remained unchanged. GLP-I markedly decreased total integrated glucose response to the meal (353 +/- 60 vs. 724 +/- 91 mmol.l-1. min-1, area under the curve [AUC] [-30-180 min], P < 0.02), whereas glibenclamide had no effect (598 +/- 101 mmol.l-1. min-1, AUC [-30-180 min], NS). The combined treatment further enhanced the glucose lowering effect of GLP-I (138 +/- 24 mmol. l-1.min, AUC [-30-180 min], P < 0.001). GLP-I, glibenclamide, and combined treat-stimulated meal-induced insulin release as reflected by insulinogenic indexes (control 1.44 +/- 0.4; GLP-I 6.3 +/- 1.6, P < 0.01; glibenclamide 6.8 +/- 2.1, P < 0.01; combination 20.7 +/- 5.0, P < 0.001). GLP-I inhibited basal but not postprandial glucagon responses. Using paracetamol as a marker for gastric emptying rate of the test meal, treatment with GLP-I decreased gastric emptying at 180 min by approximately 50% compared with the control subjects (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: In acute experiments on overweight patients with NIDDM, GLP-I exerted a marked antidiabetogenic action on the basal and postprandial state. The peptide stimulated insulin, suppressed basal glucagon release, and prolonged gastric emptying. The glucose-lowering effect of GLP-I was further enhanced by glibenclamide. This action may be at least partially accounted for by a synergistic effect of these two compounds on insulin release. Glibenclamide per se enhanced postprandial but not basal insulin release and exerted a less pronounced antidiabetogenic effect compared with GLP-I. 相似文献

We wished to determine whether the elevated glucose cycling (GC) between glucose and glucose-6-phosphate (G<-->G6P) in diabetes can be reversed with acute insulin treatment. In six insulin-deprived, anesthetized, depancreatized dogs, insulin was infused for 6-9 h at a starting dose of 45-150 pmol.kg-1.min-1 to normalize plasma glucose from 23.9 +/- 1.4 to 5.0 +/- 0.4 mmol/l and gradually decreased to and maintained at a basal rate (1.7 +/- 1.0 pmol.kg-1.min-1) during the last 3 h. GC, measured with [2-3H]- and [6-3H]glucose, fell markedly from 15.3 +/- 2.7 and normalized at 1.3 +/- 0.6 mumol.kg-1.min-1 (P < 0.001). This occurred because total hepatic glucose output fell much more (from 41.2 +/- 3.1 to 11.6 +/- 1.2) than did glucose production (from 25.9 +/- 1.9 to 10.3 +/- 1.0 mumol.kg-1.min-1) (both P < 0.01). Freeze-clamped liver biopsies were taken at timed intervals for measurements of hepatic enzymes and substrates. The elevated hepatic hexose-6-phosphate levels decreased with insulin infusion (151 +/- 24 vs. 71 +/- 13 nmol/g, P < 0.01). Maximal activities of glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) (from 17.6 +/- 0.8 to 19.6 +/- 2.6 U/g) and glucokinase (from 1.1 +/- 0.2 to 1.0 +/- 0.2 U/g) did not change. Insulin infusion resulted in a threefold increase (P < 0.05) in the activity of glycogen synthase (active form), but had no effect on hepatic glycogen content.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS) 相似文献

AIM: To study the protective effect of anisodine (Ani) on acute forebrain ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. METHODS: Both vertebral arteries were occluded by electrocautery. Severe, but transient bilateral cerebral ischemia was produced by clamping both common carotid arteries in rats. Atomic absorption spectrophotometric and spectrophotometric methods were used to determine the contents of calcium and extravasated Evans blue (EB), respectively, remained in forebrain at 60-min recirculation after 30-min ischemia. RESULTS: At 60-min recirculation, the brain calcium contents were increased from 112 +/- 6 micrograms/g brain dry weight in control (sham operation) group to 165 +/- 7 micrograms/g brain dry weight with marked increase of EB extravasation. Ani (2.5 mg.kg-1, i.p.), and scopolamine (Sco, 0.25 mg.kg-1, i.p.) decreased the elevated calcium and extravasated EB contents. CONCLUSION: Ani prevented the brain from ischemia insults through reducing intracellular calcium accumulation resulted from ischemia and reperfusion. 相似文献

Wistar rats develop glucose intolerance and have a diminished insulin response to glucose with age. The aim of this study was to investigate if these changes were reversible with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a peptide that we have previously shown could increase insulin mRNA and total insulin content in insulinoma cells. We infused 1.5 pmol/ kg-1.min-1 GLP-1 subcutaneously using ALZET microosmotic pumps into 22-mo-old Wistar rats for 48 h. Rat infused with either GLP-1 or saline were then subjected to an intraperitoneal glucose (1 g/kg body weight) tolerance test, 2 h after removing the pump. 15 min after the intraperitoneal glucose, GLP-1-treated animals had lower plasma glucose levels (9.04+/-0.92 mmol/liter, P < 0.01) than saline-treated animals (11.61+/-0.23 mmol/liter). At 30 min the plasma glucose was still lower in the GLP-1-treated animals (8.61+/-0.39 mmol/liter, P < 0.05) than saline-treated animals (10.36+/-0.43 mmol/liter). This decrease in glucose levels was reflected in the higher insulin levels attained in the GLP-1-treated animals (936+/-163 pmol/liter vs. 395+/-51 pmol/liter, GLP-1 vs. saline, respectively, P < 0.01), detected 15 min after glucose injection. GLP-1 treatment also increased pancreatic insulin, GLUT2, and glucokinase mRNA in the old rats. The effects of GLP-1 were abolished by simultaneous infusion of exendin [9-39], a specific antagonist of GLP-1. GLP-1 is therefore able to reverse some of the known defects that arise in the beta cell of the pancreas of Wistar rats, not only by increasing insulin secretion but also by inducing significant changes at the molecular level. 相似文献

AIM: Metabolic exercise abnormalities have been reported in chronic heart failure patients. This study sought to evaluate whether these abnormalities affected daily activity. METHODS AND RESULTS: In 16 patients with moderate-to-severe chronic heart failure and in eight controls we measured femoral flow (thermodilution) and metabolism (glucose, lactate, free fatty acids, blood gas values) at rest and during a constant load of 20 W, which may mimic a daily activity. At rest, chronic heart failure patients had a leg flow similar to controls, but showed a higher leg oxygen consumption (4.6 +/- 0.6 vs 2.6 +/- 0.4 ml.min-1; P < 0.05), a higher arteriovenous oxygen difference (7.2 +/- 0.5 vs 5.4 +/- 0.7 ml.dl-1; P < 0.05), and a lower femoral vein pH (7.37 +/- 5.03 vs 7.42 +/- 0.01; P = 0.01). At 20 W, chronic heart failure patients had a leg flow similar to controls, but showed increased lactate release (from resting 11.7 +/- 33 to 142 +/- 125 micrograms.min-1 P < 0.0001 vs controls, from resting 5.7 +/- 15.4 to 50 +/- 149 micrograms.min-1 ns), higher arterial concentration of free fatty acids (781 +/- 69 vs 481 +/- 85 mumol.l-1; P < 0.01), lower femoral vein HCO3 (24.1 +/- 2.6 vs 26.3 +/- 1.7 mmol.l-1; P < 0.05) and base excess (-2.3 +/- 2.3 vs -0.24 +/- 1.7 mmol.l-1; P = 0.01). CONCLUSION: In chronic heart failure patients, the important cellular metabolic alterations already present at rest partially affect daily activities, owing to a further decrease in the efficiency of muscle metabolic processes, and may preclude tolerance of heavier activities. Such alterations appear, at least in part, independent of peripheral haemodynamic responses to exercise. 相似文献

Muscle glycogen accumulation was determined in six trained cyclists (Trn) and six untrained subjects (UT) at 6 and either 48 or 72 h after 2 h of cycling exercise at approximately 75% peak O2 uptake (VO2 peak), which terminated with five 1-min sprints. Subjects ate 10 g carbohydrate . kg-1 . day-1 for 48-72 h postexercise. Muscle glycogen accumulation averaged 71 +/- 9 (SE) mmol/kg (Trn) and 31 +/- 9 mmol/kg (UT) during the first 6 h postexercise (P < 0.01) and 79 +/- 22 mmol/kg (Trn) and 60 +/- 9 mmol/kg (UT) between 6 and 48 or 72 h postexercise (not significant). Muscle glycogen concentration was 164 +/- 21 mmol/kg (Trn) and 99 +/- 16 mmol/kg (UT) 48-72 h postexercise (P < 0.05). Muscle GLUT-4 content immediately postexercise was threefold higher in Trn than in UT (P < 0.05) and correlated with glycogen accumulation rates (r = 0.66, P < 0.05). Glycogen synthase in the active I form was 2.5 +/- 0.5, 3.3 +/- 0.5, and 1.0 +/- 0.3 micromol . g-1 . min-1 in Trn at 0, 6, and 48 or 72 h postexercise, respectively; corresponding values were 1.2 +/- 0.3, 2.7 +/- 0.5, and 1.6 +/- 0.3 micromol . g-1 . min-1 in UT (P < 0.05 at 0 h). Plasma insulin and plasma C-peptide area under the curve were lower in Trn than in UT over the first 6 h postexercise (P < 0.05). Plasma creatine kinase concentrations were 125 +/- 25 IU/l (Trn) and 91 +/- 9 IU/l (UT) preexercise and 112 +/- 14 IU/l (Trn) and 144 +/- 22 IU/l (UT; P < 0.05 vs. preexercise) at 48-72 h postexercise (normal: 30-200 IU/l). We conclude that endurance exercise training results in an increased ability to accumulate muscle glycogen after exercise. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of short-term antecedent hypoglycemia on responses to further hypoglycemia 2 days later in patients with IDDM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We studied eight type I diabetic patients without hypoglycemia unawareness or autonomic neuropathy during two periods at least 4 weeks apart. On day 1, 2 h of either clamped hyperinsulinemic (60 mU.m-2.min-1) hypoglycemia at 2.8 mmol/l or euglycemia at 5.0 mmol/l were induced. Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia was induced 2 days later with 40 min glucose steps of 5.0, 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, and 2.5 mmol/l. Catecholamine levels and symptomatic and physiological responses were measured every 10-20 min. RESULTS: When compared with the responses measured following euglycemia, the responses of norepinephrine 2 days after hypoglycemia were reduced (peak, 1.4 +/- 0.4 [mean +/- SE] vs.1.0 +/- 0.3 nmol/l [P < 0.05]; threshold, 3.4 +/- 0.1 vs. 2.9 +/- 0.1 mmol/l glucose [P < 0.01]). The responses of epinephrine (peak, 4.0 +/- 1.4 vs. 3.5 +/- 0.8 nmol/l [P = 0.84]; threshold, 3.8 +/- 0.1 vs. 3.6 +/- 0.1 mmol/l glucose [P = 0.38]), water loss (peak, 194 +/- 34 vs. 179 +/- 47 g-1.m-2.h-1 [P = 0.73]; threshold, 2.9 +/- 0.2 vs. 2.9 +/- 0.2 mmol/l glucose [P = 0.90]), tremor (peak, 0.28 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.37 +/- 0.06 root mean square volts (RMS V) [P = 0.19]; threshold, 3.2 +/- 0.2 vs. 3.1 +/- 0.2 mmol/l glucose [P = 0.70]), total symptom scores (peak, 10.6 +/- 2.1 vs. 10.8 +/- 1.9 [P = 0.95]; threshold, 3.3 +/- 0.2 vs. 3.6 +/0 0.1 mmol/l glucose [P = 0.15]), and cognitive function (four-choice reaction time: threshold, 2.9 +/- 0.2 vs. 3.0 +/- 0.2 mmol/l glucose [P = 0.69]) were unaffected. CONCLUSIONS: The effect on hypoglycemic physiological responses of 2 h of experimental hypoglycemia lasts for 1-2 days in these patients with IDDM . The pathophysiological effect of antecedent hypoglycemia may be of shorter duration in IDDM patients, compared with nondiabetic subjects. 相似文献
