Glucose metabolism in mice during and after whole-body hyperthermia

OSTI ID:6225150
Researchers studied glucose turnover in male inbred mice during and after whole-body hyperthermia for 1 hour at 40 degrees or 41 degrees C by giving them injections of (/sup 14/C)glucose with and without a glucose load and measuring the expired /sup 14/Co/sub 2/. Expiration of /sup 14/CO/sub 2/ was increased during hyperthermia but decreased considerably afterward. The latter effect was enhanced by a glucose load. This inhibition depended on the glucose concentration. Metabolic studies showed a depletion of several glycolytic metabolites, especially glycogen and lactate, after whole-body hyperthermia. Combined treatment of hyperthermia and a glucose injection 1 hour later led to an increased level of glucose 6-phosphate, which indicated a block in glycolysis between glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 1,6-diphosphate. This inhibition did not occur when glucose was given before the hyperthermia treatment. Lactate accumulation was not observed under any conditions.
