The relationship between the enhanced responses of gluconeogenesis to norepinephrine (NE) and glucagon and its zonal distribution was studied in liver lobules of cold-exposed rats by examination of preparations enriched for periportal hepatocytes (PP-H) and for perivenous hepatocytes (PV-H) by the digitonin-collagenase perfusion technique. In the control group, gluconeogenesis from lactate (10 mM) plus pyruvate (1 mM) was higher in PP-H than in PV-H. NE (100 nM) and glucagon (100 nM) increased the rate of gluconeogenesis by 80 and 70%, respectively, in both PP-H and PV-H. Gluconeogenesis in PP-H was unchanged by cold exposure. The rate in PV-H increased to the rate in PP-H at 5 days after cold exposure, and then the rate returned to the control value at 20 days. The gluconeogenic response to the alpha-adrenergic action of NE in both PP-H and PV-H doubled after 5 days. The response to glucagon tripled in PP-H and was cut in half in PV-H after 20 days. Phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate (PMA; 1 microM), A-23187 (100 nM), and dibutyryl adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (DBcAMP; 1 mM) increased the rate of gluconeogenesis by 200, 100, and 80%, respectively, in both PP-H and PV-H from the control group. The responses to PMA and A-23187 were unchanged by exposure to cold. The response to DBcAMP was doubled in PP-H and was cut in half in PV-H after 20 days of cold exposure.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
