Abstract:
:Insulin sensitivity and resistance were examined in vivo in uremic rats by using tracer methods which permit the assessment of "non-steady-state" glucose kinetics. By relating the changes in the rates of glucose output by the liver (Ra), uptake by tissues (Rd), and metabolic clearance (MCR) to immunoreactive glucagon and insulin, it was possible to assess the tissue sensitivity to physiologic and supraphysiologic levels of these two hormones and the site of insulin resistance. The effect of an intravenous injection of insulin (100 mU) on glucose turnover was studied in acutely uremic rats 15 h after bilateral nephrectomy and in sham-operated controls, in the postabsorptive state. Glucose output by the liver and uptake by tissues were determined by the primed constant infusion technique using [3H]glucose. Under basal conditions, no significant difference in Ra and Rd between the two groups were observed, while a significant hyperglycemia and a reduced glucose metabolic clearance rate in the face of hyperglucagonemia and normal plasma insulin levels were observed in nephrectomized rats. After insulin injection, the glycemic curves were similar in the two groups, while Ra, Rd, and MCR displayed significantly lower values in nephrectomized rats in the face of higher plasma concentrations of insulin and glucagon. It was concluded that acute uremia in the rat is characterized by a loss of the normal ability of insulin to promote peripheral glucose uptake with retention of hepatic sensitivity to insulin.
