High-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE) is a potential intervention to manage hyperglycaemia and insulin resistance in adolescents. The aim of this study was to determine the optimum duration of HIIE to reduce postprandial glycaemic and insulinaemic responses in adolescents and the longevity of the response. Thirty-nine participants (12.4 ± 0.4 year) completed a 30- and 60-min exercise trial (Loughborough Intermittent Shuttle Test) and a rested control trial in a randomised crossover design. Capillary blood samples were taken at baseline, immediately and 1-h post-exercise; and 30, 60 and 120 min following a standardised lunch (day one) and a standardised breakfast 24-h post-exercise. Plasma insulin total area under the curve (tAUC) following lunch was lower following 60-min HIIE (21,754 ± 16,861 pmol·L−1 × 120 min, p = 0.032) and tended to be lower following 30-min HIIE (24,273 ± 16,131 pmol·L−1 × 120 min, p = 0.080), when compared with the resting condition (26,931 ± 21,634 pmol·L−1 × 120 min). Blood glucose concentration was lower 1-h post-exercise following 30-min HIIE (3.6 ± 0.6 mmol·L−1) when compared to resting (4.1 ± 0.9 mmol·L−1, p = 0.001). Blood glucose and plasma insulin concentration did not differ across trials on day two. Shorter bouts of HIIE (30-min), as well as a 60-min bout, reduced the postprandial insulinaemic response to lunch, an ecologically valid marker of insulin sensitivity. As the beneficial effects of HIIE were limited to 3 h post-exercise, adolescents are recommended to engage daily HIIE to enhance metabolic health.

1. Sodium acetoacetate was infused into the inferior vena cava of fed rats, 48h-starved rats, and fed streptozotocin-diabetic rats treated with insulin. Arterial blood was obtained from a femoral artery catheter. 2. Acetoacetate infusion caused a fall in blood glucose concentration in fed rats from 6.16 to 5.11mm in 1h, whereas no change occurred in starved or fed–diabetic rats. 3. Plasma free fatty acids decreased within 10min, from 0.82 to 0.64mequiv./l in fed rats, 1.16 to 0.79mequiv./l in starved rats and 0.83 to 0.65mequiv./l in fed–diabetic rats. 4. At 10min the plasma concentration rose from 20 to 49.9μunits/ml in fed unanaesthetized rats and from 6.4 to 18.5μunits/ml in starved rats. There was no change in insulin concentration in the diabetic rats. 5. Nembutal-anaesthetized fed rats had a more marked increase in plasma insulin concentration, from 30 to 101μunits/ml within 10min. 6. A fall in blood glucose concentration in fed rats and a decrease in free fatty acids in both fed and starved rats is to be expected as a consequence of the increase in plasma insulin. 7. The fall in the concentration of free fatty acids in diabetic rats may be due to a direct effect of ketone bodies on adipose tissue. A similar effect on free fatty acids could also be operative in normal fed or starved rats.

SUMMARY The effect of glucose on the release of insulin from the pancreas of 18·5 to 21·5-day-old rat foetuses has been studied in utero. Foetal hyperglycaemia was induced by a 1 h glucose infusion into pregnant rats. In foetuses from mother rats infused with saline, the blood glucose and the plasma insulin concentrations increased up to day 21·5 of gestation. The blood glucose level of the foetuses never exceeded that of the mothers which remained stable from day 18·5 to day 21·5 of gestation. The infusion of glucose raised the foetal blood glucose concentration to that of the mothers and induced a significant increase of plasma insulin levels both in the mothers and their foetuses. The enhanced plasma insulin concentration observed in the 18·5-day-old foetuses of glucose-infused pregnant rats became greater each day up to 21·5 days.

Seven healthy male volunteers exercised on a cycle ergometer at 50 +/- 5% VO2max for 180 min, on three occasions during which they ingested either water only (W), [13C]glucose (G), or [13C]fructose (F) (140 +/- 12 g, diluted at 7% in water, and evenly distributed over the exercise period). Blood glucose concentration (in mM) significantly decreased during exercise with W (5.1 +/- 0.4 to 4.2 +/- 0.1) but remained stable with G (5.0 +/- 0.4 to 5.3 +/- 0.6) or F ingestion (5.4 +/- 0.5 to 5.1 +/- 0.4). Decreases in plasma insulin concentration (microU/ml) were greater (P less than 0.05) with W (11 +/- 3 to 3 +/- 1) and F (12 +/- 4 to 5 +/- 1) than with G ingestion (11 +/- 2 to 9 +/- 5), and fat utilization was greater with F (103 +/- 11 g) than with G ingestion (82 +/- 9 g) and lower than with W ingestion (132 +/- 14 g). However F was less readily available for combustion than G; over the 3-h period 75% (106 +/- 11 g) of ingested G was oxidized, compared with 56% (79 +/- 8 g) of ingested fructose. As a consequence, carbohydrate store utilizations were similar in the two conditions (G, 174 +/- 20 g; F, 173 +/- 17 g; vs. W, 193 +/- 22 g). These observations suggest that, during prolonged moderate exercise, F ingestion maintains blood glucose as well as G ingestion, and increases fat utilization when compared to G ingestion. However, due to a slower rate of utilization of F, carbohydrate store sparing is similar with G and F ingestions.

1. Wistar rats were fed on a control semi-synthetic diet throughout pregnancy, or a control diet in the first 2 weeks and a marginal-zinc diet in the 3rd week of pregnancy. On day 20, after an overnight fast, half the animals in each group were given glucose by gavage and the 0–30 min rise in blood glucose measured in tail blood. After 60 min blood was taken by cardiac puncture for glucose and insulin assay. Maternal pancreases were removed and the Zn contents measured. Fetuses from each litter were combined for wet/dry weights, protein and DNA determinations.2. Plasma insulin concentration was higher, and glucose concentration and pancreatic Zn content lower, in pregnantv. non-pregnant animals of similar age, fed on the same diet. Pancreatic Zn content was lowest in the marginal-Zn group of pregnant rats. Fetuses from mothers fed on the marginal-Zn diet during the last week of pregnancy were slightly heavier than controls and had a significantly higher protein: DNA ratio. The 0–30 min rise in blood glucose was significantly greater in the marginal-Zn animals.3. In a second experiment, pregnant rats were given similar diets to those used in the first study, but the marginal-Zn diet was given for a shorter period (days 15–19 of pregnancy). On day 19 the rats were meal-fed and on day 20, after an overnight fast, an oral glucose dose was administered. Tail-blood was taken at timed intervals up to 60 min post-dosing for glucose assay. Both maternal and fetal blood glucose and insulin concentration was measured 70 min post-dosing.4. Values for maternal and fetal blood glucose and plasma insulin, measured 70 min after the administration of a glucose dose, were similar in the two groups, but the initial rise in blood glucose concentration was again significantly higher in pregnant rats given the marginal-Zn diet towards term.5. It is suggested that the change in growth and composition, observed in fetuses from rats given a marginal-Zn diet in later pregnancy, is associated with altered maternal carbohydrate metabolism.

Bradykinin can enhance skeletal muscle glucose uptake (GU), and exercise increases both bradykinin production and muscle insulin sensitivity, but bradykinin’s relationship with post-exercise insulin action is uncertain. Our primary aim was to determine if the B2 receptor of bradykinin (B2R) is essential for the post-exercise increase in GU by insulin-stimulated mouse soleus muscles. Wildtype (WT) and B2R knockout (B2RKO) mice were sedentary or performed 60 minutes of treadmill exercise. Isolated soleus muscles were incubated with [3H]-2-deoxyglucose ±insulin (60 or 100 μU/ml). GU tended to be greater for WT vs. B2RKO soleus with 60 μU/ml insulin (P=0.166) and was significantly greater for muscles with 100 μU/ml insulin (P<0.05). Both genotypes had significant exercise-induced reductions (P<0.05) in glycemia and insulinemia, and the decrements for glucose (~14 %) and insulin (~55 %) were similar between genotypes. GU tended to be greater for exercised vs. sedentary soleus with 60 μU/ml insulin (P=0.063) and was significantly greater for muscles with 100 μU/ml insulin (P<0.05). There were no significant interactions between genotype and exercise for blood glucose, plasma insulin or GU. These results indicate that the B2R is not essential for the exercise-induced decrements in blood glucose or plasma insulin or for the post-exercise increase in GU by insulin-stimulated mouse soleus muscle.

1. Dobutamine in 5% (w/v) d-glucose was infused at sequential doses of 2, 5 and 10 μg min−1 kg−1, 45 min at each dose, into eight healthy male subjects, and the effects were compared with those produced by infusion of the corresponding volumes of 5% (w/v) d-glucose alone. 2. The energy expenditure increased and was 33% higher than control (P<0.001) at 10 μg of dobutamine min−1 kg−1. The respiratory exchange ratio decreased from 0.85 (sem 0.02) before infusion to 0.80 (sem 0.01) at 10 μg of dobutamine min−1 kg−1, but did not alter during the placebo infusion (P> 0.001). 3. Plasma noradrenaline concentrations were lower during the dobutamine infusion compared with during the infusion of d-glucose alone (P < 0.025). Plasma dopamine concentrations remained below 0.1 nmol/l throughout both infusions. 4. Compared with during the placebo infusion, the blood glucose concentration decreased (P < 0.001), the plasma glycerol and free fatty acid concentrations increased by 150 and 225%, respectively (both P < 0.001), and the plasma potassium concentration decreased from 3.8 (sem 0.07) to 3.6 (sem 0.04) mmol/l (P<0.01) during dobutamine infusion. The plasma insulin concentration increased at 2 and 5 μg of dobutamine min−1 kg−1 (P<0.001) with no further rise at 10 μg of dobutamine min−1 kg−1. 5. Compared with during the placebo infusion, the systolic and diastolic blood pressures and the heart rate increased during dobutamine infusion (P<0.01). At 10 μg of dobutamine min−1 kg−1, the systolic blood pressure was around 160 mmHg (P < 0.001) and the heart rate was around 92 (sem 8) beats/min compared with 59 (sem 4) beats/min during the placebo infusion (P < 0.001). 6. Dobutamine has metabolic effects. It is markedly thermogenic and lipolytic. It depresses the respiratory exchange ratio and endogenous noradrenaline secretion, stimulates insulin secretion and depresses the blood glucose concentration.

1. Young Wistar rats were used as an experimental model to determine the effects of protein-energy malnutrition on glucose tolerance and insulin release. 2. Malnourished rats presented some of the features commonly found in human protein-energy malnutrition, such as failure to gain weight, hypoalbuminaemia, fatty infiltration of the liver and intolerance of oral and intravenous glucose loads. 3. The rate of disappearance of glucose from the gut lumen was greater in the malnourished rats but there was no significant difference in portal blood glucose concentration between normal and malnourished rats 5 and 10 min after an oral glucose load. 4. Insulin resistance was not thought to be the cause of the glucose intolerance in the malnourished animals since these rats had a low fasting plasma insulin concentration with a normal fasting blood glucose concentration and no impairment in their hypoglycaemic response to exogenous insulin administration. Furthermore, fasting malnourished rats were unable to correct the insulin-induced hypoglycaemia despite high concentrations of hepatic glycogen. 5. Malnourished rats had lower peak plasma insulin concentrations than normal control animals after provocation with oral and intravenous glucose, intravenous tolbutamide and intravenous glucose plus aminophyllin. This was not due to a reduction in the insulin content of the pancreas or potassium deficiency. Healthy weanling rats, like the older malnourished rats, had a diminished insulin response to intravenous glucose and intravenous tolbutamide. However, their insulin response to stimulation with intravenous glucose plus aminophyllin far exceeded that of the malnourished rats. Thus the impairment of insulin release demonstrated in the malnourished rats cannot be ascribed to a ‘functional immaturity’ of the pancreas.

The importance of the decline in blood glucose concentration on lipolysis and the lipolytic effect of epinephrine was evaluated during short-term fasting. Lipolytic rates were determined by infusing [2H5]glycerol and [1-13C]palmitic acid. Five volunteers were studied after 12 h of fasting before and during epinephrine infusion and after 84 h of fasting, before and during glucose infusion when plasma glucose was restored to postabsorptive values, and during glucose plus epinephrine infusion. In another protocol, five volunteers were given glucose intravenously throughout fasting to maintain plasma glucose at postabsorptive levels and isotopic studies were performed after 12 and 84 h of fasting before and during epinephrine infusion. Glucose infusion after 84 h of fasting restored glucose and insulin concentrations and lipolytic rates toward 12-h fasting values. When euglycemia was maintained throughout fasting, plasma insulin still declined (P less than 0.05) and lipolytic rates still increased (P less than 0.05). Despite similar glucose concentrations, the lipolytic response to epinephrine infusion was greater after 84 h than after 12 h of fasting in both protocols (P less than 0.05). These studies demonstrate that the decline in plasma glucose contributes to, but is not required for, the increase in lipolysis during fasting. The increase in epinephrine-stimulated lipolysis that occurs during fasting is not dependent on a decrease in plasma glucose concentration.

This study aimed to extend previous investigation regarding its beneficial effects on changes of blood glucose. This experimental research was conducted from 06:00-12:00. Twenty-four young men (age 19-20 y.o.) were divided into three groups, Fasting-Exercise-Only (FEO), Fasting-Exercise-Water (FEW), and Fasting-Exercise with Fruit-Infused Water (FEF). Subjects underwent fasting for 12 h before the experimental day. The data of body weight (Kg) and macroscopic urine color were collected before and after exercise. Body weight in all experimental groups were decreased by 1% during endurance exercise. There were no differences in decrease of body weight between FEF and FEW groups compared to FEO group (p>.05). The change in urine color was significantly different between pre-exercise and post-exercise data (p<.05). The darkest urine color was observed in FEO group (4.75), followed by FEW group (4.25), while FEF group (3.63) did not reach dehydration level. In conclusion, fruit-infused water is suggested to be drink as a choice for fluid intake during exercise.
