Abstract. Substrate utilization of the working forearm was studied in nineteen patients with hypertriglyceridaemia (HLP) and compared to nineteen normolipidaemic (NLP) subjects, matched with regard to body weight, body height, intravenous glucose tolerance and age. Arterial-deep venous differences of oxygen, carbon dioxide, free fatty acids (FFA), glucose, lactate and pyruvate was measured. The fractional extraction and oxidation of fatty acids was assessed by intravenous infusion of albumin-bound [3H]palmitate and [14C]oleate. Measurements were made both in the postabsorptive state and after plasma FFA lowering by nicotinic acid. The HLP subjects had, before nicotinic acid, higher arterial concentrations, higher turnover rates of palmitate and oleate and higher plasma glycerol concentrations indicating a greater mobilization of FFA. However, the forearm extraction and oxidation of FFA as well as the calculated total body fatty acid oxidation was similar in HLP and NLP subjects. Nicotinic acid decreased arterial concentrations and turnover rates of FFA to the same extent in HLP and NLP groups, the effect being the same for palmitic and oleic acid. Fractional extraction both of palmitic and of oleic acid increased after nicotinic acid in the NLP but not in the HLP group. Plasma glycerol decrease after nicotinic acid was of the same magnitude in HLP and NLP groups. Thus, (1) an increased uptake of FFA in HLP subjects must occur in other tissues than skeletal muscle and with another fate of the fatty acids than oxidation. The explanation might be an increased incorporation of fatty acids into triglycerides which are subsequently secreted from the liver. (2) The impaired triglyceride removal in skeletal muscle which has been found in HLP subjects is more likely due to an impaired lipolytic activity than to an abnormality in uptake and utilization of hydrolysed fatty acids. No abnormalities in carbohydrate metabolism were found in these HLP subjects with normal glucose tolerance.  相似文献

Abstract. The kinetics of plasma free fatty acid and triglyceride transport were assessed in 20 patients with idiopathic hypertriglyceridaemia. These patients were subdivided according to lipoprotein pattern into Type IV and Type V patients. The effects of clofibrate therapy on plasma free fatty acid and triglyceride kinetics were assessed in these patients. Clofibrate produced a marked reduction in serum triglyceride associated with a significant reduction in triglyceride turnover as well as enhancement of triglyceride clearance. The reduction in triglyceride concentration produced by clofibrate was found to correlate with the reduction in free fatty acid turnover indicating that this drug decreased the availability of free fatty acid turnover indicating that this drug decreased the availability of free fatty acids for hepatic esterification. Clearance of endogenous plasma triglyceride was markedly enhanced in those patients in whom it was markedly impaired before treatment.—Having discontinued clofibrate for six weeks the same patients received bradilan (tetranicotinoylfructose) and kinetic measurements were repeated. It was evident that bradilan had a greater hypotriglyceridaemic effect than clofibrate in both groups of patients. The effect of bradilan was the result of inhibition of free fatty acid turnover and consequently a marked reduction in triglyceride turnover. Bradilan, unlike clofibrate, did not affect the mechanisms responsible for the clearance of plasma triglycerides.  相似文献

Abstract. Plasma free fatty acid and triglyceride transport kinetics were assessed in 20 patients with idiopathic hypertriglyceridaemia. None of these patients had abnormal glucose tolerance. They included 10 patients in whom the serum triglyceride elevation was due to an increase in the circulating VLDL (Fredrickson Type IV) and 10 in whom the increase in plasma VLDL was associated with hyperchylomicronaemia (Fredrickson Type V). These were compared with a control group of 27 normal subjects.—Increased plasma triglyceride turnover with normal clearance was observed in the Type IV patients suggesting that the hypertriglyceridaemia in these patients was predominantly due to enhancement of plasma triglyceride production. The plasma triglyceride concentration correlated closely with the changes in triglyceride turnover rate.—Studies performed in the Type V patients showed an increase in the plasma triglyceride turnover rate in only 3 subjects, while in the remaining patients the turnover values were similar to those of the control subjects. The increase in serum triglyceride concentration found in some of the patients was due to an increase in plasma triglyceride production. However, in the majority of patients in this group impairment of plasma triglyceride clearance was the predominant abnormality.—In both hypertriglyceridaemic groups the plasma FFA flux was markedly increased and correlated significantly with the degree of hypertriglyceridaemia. The increase in triglyceride turnover observed in Type IV patients and some of the Type V patients correlated closely with the enhancement of plasma FFA flux suggesting that the increase in triglyceride production in these patients was secondary to enhanced lipolysis.—The plasma insulin response to an oral glucose load was markedly increased in both groups of hypertriglyceridaemic patients and correlated significantly with the elevation in serum triglyceride concentration. The plasma insulin response also correlated with the plasma free fatty acid turnover.—The results suggest that the initial lesion in these patients was related to insulin unresponsiveness in adipose tissue resulting in enhanced lipolysis with secondary changes in insulin secretion and plasma triglyceride transport kinetics.  相似文献

Myocardial extraction of free fatty acids (FFA), together with glucose, lactate, pyruvate, glycerol and oxygen was determined by simultaneous sampling of blood from an artery (a) and the coronary sinus (cs) at rest and during chest pains induced by atrial pacing in seven fasting male patients with ischaemic heart disease. Results were compared to those, at rest and during pacing at heart rate 140 beats min-1 in ten healthy men of similar age. A continuous i.v. infusion of 14C oleate and 3H palmitate enabled the calculation of simultaneous myocardial uptake and release of FFA. as well as of the fraction of extracted FFA which underwent direct oxidation. During chest pain lactate net extraction decreased to become, in some patients, negative. FFA extraction, as estimated from the fractional extraction of labelled fatty acid was likewise decreased, while the a-cs O2 difference was not significantly altered. The fractional oxidation of extracted FFA was increased, whereas the calculated fatty acid release from the heart was unaltered. The increase in fractional oxidation was quantitatively correlated with the decrease in lactate extraction suggesting that it was related to the degree or extent of ischaemia. It was also proportional to the decrease in FFA extraction. Thus, in patients with angina pectoris the ischaemic myocardium may be subjected to a limitation not only with regard to oxygen but also substrate flux into the myocardial cells.  相似文献

The influence of exercise on leg and splanchnic exchange of substrates was examined in eight insulin-dependent diabetics 24 h after withdrawal of insulin and in eight healthy controls studied at rest and after 40 min of bicycle ergometer exercise at 55-60% of maximal capacity. In four of the diabetic subjects, basal arterial ketone acid levels were 3-4 mmol/ liter (ketotic diabetics) and in the remainder, below 1 mmol/liter (nonketotic diabetics). ,ree fatty acid (FFA) turnover and regional exchange were evaluated with 14-C- labeled oleic acid. Leg uptake of blood glucose rose 13-18 fold during exercise in both the diabetics and controls and accounted for a similar proportion of the total oxygen uptake by leg muscles (25-28%) in the two groups. In contrast, leg uptake of FFA corresponded to 39% of leg oxygen consumption in the diabetic group but only 27% in controls. Systemic turnover of oleic acid was similar in the two groups. Splanchnic glucose output increased during exercise 3-4 fold above resting levels in both groups. In the diabetics, splanchnic uptake of lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, and glycogenic amino acids rose more than twofold above resting levels and was fourfold greater than in exercising controls. Total precursor uptake could account for 30% of the splanchnic glucose output in the diabetic group. In contrast, in the controls, total splanchnic uptake of glucose precursors was no greater during exercise than in the resting state and could account for no more than 11% of splanchnic glucose output. The augmented precursor uptake during exercise in the diabetics was a consequence of increased splanchnic fractional extraction as well as increased peripheral production of gluconeogenic substrates. The arterial glucagon concentration was unchanged by exercise in both groups, but was higher in the diabetics. In the diabetic subjects with ketosis in the resting state, exercise elicited a rise in arterial glucose and FFA, an augmented splanchnic uptake of FFA, and a 2-3 fold increase in splanchnic output of 3-hydroxybutyrate. Uptake of 3-hydroxybutyrate by the exercising leg rose more rapidly than splanchnic production, resulting in a fall in arterial levels of 3-hydroxybutyrate. It is concluded that (a) glucose uptake by exercising muscle in hyperglycemic diabetics is no different from that of controls; (b) splanchnic glucose output rises during exercise to a similar extent in diabetics and controls, while uptake of gluconeogenic substrates is markedly higher in diabetics and accounts for a greater proportion of total splanchnic glucose output; (c) exercise in diabetic patients with mild ketosis is associated with a rise in blood glucose and FFA levels as well as augmented splanchnic production and peripheral uptake of ketone bodies.  相似文献

To assess the mechanisms for the elevation of free fatty acids in noninsulin-dependent diabetes, free fatty acid metabolism and lipid and carbohydrate oxidation were compared in 14 obese diabetic Pima Indians and in 13 age-, sex-, and weight-matched nondiabetics. The studies were repeated in 10 of the diabetics after 1 mo of oral hypoglycemic therapy. Fasting plasma glucose concentrations were elevated in diabetics (242 +/- 14 vs. 97 +/- 3 mg/dl, P less than 0.01) and decreased to 142 +/- 12 (P less than 0.01) after therapy. Fasting free fatty acid concentrations were elevated in diabetics (477 +/- 26 vs. 390 +/- 39 mumol/liter, P less than 0.01) and declined to normal values after therapy (336 +/- 32, P less than 0.01). Although free fatty acid transport rate was correlated with obesity (r = 0.75, P less than 0.001), the transport of free fatty acid was not higher in diabetics than in nondiabetics and did not change after therapy. On the other hand, the fractional catabolic rate for free fatty acid was significantly lower in untreated diabetics (0.55 +/- 0.04 vs. 0.71 +/- 0.06 min-1, P less than 0.05); it increased after therapy to 0.80 +/- 0.09 min-1, P less than 0.05, and was inversely correlated with fasting glucose (r = -0.52, P less than 0.01). In diabetics after therapy, lipid oxidation rates fell significantly (from 1.35 +/- 0.06 to 1.05 +/- 0.01 mg/min per kg fat-free mass, P less than 0.01), whereas carbohydrate oxidation increased (from 1.21 +/- 0.10 to 1.73 +/- 0.13 mg/min per kg fat-free mass, P less than 0.01); changes in lipid and carbohydrate oxidation were correlated (r = 0.72, P less than 0.02), and in all subjects lipid oxidation accounted for only approximately 40% of free fatty acid transport. The data suggest that in noninsulin-dependent diabetics, although free fatty acid production may be elevated because of obesity, the elevations in plasma free fatty acid concentrations are also a result of reduced removal, and fractional clearance of free fatty acid appears to be closely related to diabetic control. Furthermore, the increase in fractional clearance rate, despite a marked decrease in lipid oxidation, suggests that the clearance defect in the diabetics is due to an impairment in reesterification, which is restored after therapy.  相似文献

Nine insulin-dependent diabetics and six healthy controls were studied at rest, during, and after 60 min of bicycle exercise at a work load corresponding to 45% of their maximal oxygen intake. The catheter technique was employed to determine splanchnic and leg exchange of metabolites. FFA turnover and regional exchange was evaluated using [14C]oleate infusion. Basal glucose (13.8 +/- 1.1 mmol/l), ketone body (1.12 +/- 0.12 mmol/l), and FFA (967 +/- 110 mumol/l) concentrations were elevated in the diabetics in comparison with controls. In the resting state, splanchnic ketone acid production in the diabetics was 6-10-fold greater than in controls. Uptake of oleic acid by the splanchnic bed was increased 2-3-fold, and the proportion of splanchnic FFA uptake converted to ketones (61%) was threefold greater than in controls. In contrast, splanchnic fractional extraction of oleic acid was identical in diabetics and controls. A direct relationship was observed between splanchnic uptake and splanchnic inflow (plasma concentration X hepatic plasma flow) of oleic acid that could be described by the same regression line in the diabetic and control groups. During exercise, splanchnic ketone production rose in both groups. In the control group the increase in ketogenesis was associated with a rise in splanchnic inflow and in uptake of oleic acid, a rise in splanchnic fractional extraction of oleate, and an increase in the proportion of splanchnic FFA uptake converted to ketone acids from 20-40%. In the diabetic group, the increase in ketogenesis occurred in the absence of a rise in splanchnic inflow or uptake of oleic acid, but was associated with an increase in splanchnic fractional extraction of oleic acid and a marked increase in hepatic conversion of FFA to ketones, so that the entire uptake of FFA was accountable as ketone acid output. Splanchnic uptake of oleic acid correlated directly with splanchnic oleic acid inflow in both groups, but the slope of the regression line was steeper than in the resting state. Plasma glucagon levels were higher in the diabetic group at rest and during exercise, while plasma norepinephrine showed a twofold greater increment in response to exercise in the diabetic group (to 1,400-1,500 pg/ml). A net uptake of ketone acids by the leg was observed during exercise but could account for less than 5% of leg oxidative metabolism in the diabetics and less than 1% in controls. Despite the increase in ketogenesis during exercise, a rise in arterial ketone acid levels was not observed in the diabetics until postexercise recovery, during which sustained increments to values of 1.8-1.9 mmol/l and sustained increases in splanchnic ketone production were observed at 30-60 min. The largest increment in blood ketone acids and in splanchnic ketone production above values observed in controls thus occurred in the diabetics after 60 min of recovery from exercise. We concluded that: (a) In the resting state, increased ketogenesis in the diabetic is a consequence of augmented splanchnic inflow of FFA and increased intrahepatic conversion of FFA to ketones, but does not depend on augmented fractional extraction of circulating FFA by the splanchnic bed. (b) Exercise-induced increases in ketogenesis in normal subjects are due to augmented splanchnic inflow and fractional extraction of FFA as well as increased intrahepatic conversion of FFA to ketones. (c) When exercise and diabetes are combined, ketogenesis increases further despite the absence of a rise in splanchnic inflow of FFA. An increase in splanchnic fractional extraction of FFA and a marked increase intrahepatic conversion of FFA to ketones accounts for the exaggerated ketogenic response to exercise in the diabetic. (d) Elevated levels of plasma glucagon and/or norepinephrine may account for the increased hepatic ketogenic response to exercise in the diabetic. (e) Ketone utilization by muscle increases during exercise but constitutes a quantitatively minor oxidative fuel for muscle even in the diabetic. (f) The accelerated ketogenesis during exercise in the diabetic continues unabated during the recovery period, resulting in an exaggerated postexercise ketosis.  相似文献

Abstract. Plasma triglyceride (TG) “turnover rates” were estimated in the fasting state in three different ways: splanchnic chemical TG secretion, splanchnic isotope TG secretion and plasma TG clearance. Forty-two men with a wide range of fasting plasma TG concentrations, from 0.53 to 16.50 mmol/l were investigated. A constant intravenous infusion of albumin-bound 3H-labelled palmitate was given and blood was simultaneously sampled from the hepatic vein and an artery for determination of hepatic venous-arterial differences of labelled and unlabelled plasma TG. In addition total and splanchnic turnovers of plasma FFA were measured. Similar values were obtained for plasma TG “turnover rate” by the splanchnic chemical TG secretion and the plasma TG clearance method. The values for these two methods varied between 3 and 74 μmol/min. and m2 body surface area, except for two cases who had considerably higher values. The splanchnic isotope TG secretion method gave lower values varying from 1 to 34 μmol/min. and m2 body surface area. This method probably measures only that fraction of the splanchnic TG secretion which is derived from plasma FFA. No correlations were found among normotriglyceridaemic subjects between plasma total TG or VLDL-TG concentrations and plasma TG “turnover rates” measured by any of the three methods. For patients with hypertriglyceridaemia significant positive correlations were found between plasma VLDL-TG concentrations and plasma “turnover rates”. The “fractional turnover rate” decreased with increasing TG levels in an apparently hyperbolic fashion. The results suggest an impaired plasma TG removal capacity in patients with hypertriglyceridaemia. In 7 out of 14 patients the plasma TG “turnover rates” were in the upper part of the normal range and seemed to have contributed to the hypertriglyceridaemia in these patients. Plasma FFA turnover rate ranged between 102 and 439 μmol/min. and m2 body surface area. On the average splanchnic FFA mobilization and uptake were about 30 and 60 per cent respectively of total FFA turnover rate. Significant positive correlations were found for the interrelationships between the three plasma FFA total and splanchnic transport parameters. Significant positive correlations were found between the three plasma TG “turnover rates” and total and splanchnic turnover of plasma FFA in subjects with normal plasma TG concentrations. Some patients with hypertriglyceridaemia fell outside the intervals of 99 per cent confidence of the regression analyses for the normo-triglyceridaemic subjects. This group had higher TG “turnover rates” than “expected” from plasma FFA turnover rates and may represent a distinctive group of hypertriglyceridaemia from the point of view of pathogenesis. It was concluded that all patients with hypertriglyceridaemia who were investigated had decreased “fractional turnover rates” of plasma TG indicating a decreased removal capacity which might be a primary cause of the hypertriglyceridaemia although inflow of plasma TG seemed to be an essential contributing factor in half the number of patients.  相似文献
