We investigated the intrahepatic mechanisms by which insulin, associated or not with hyperglycemia, may inhibit hepatic glucose production (HGP) in the rat. After a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp in postabsorptive (PA) anesthetized rats, the 70% inhibition of HGP could be explained by a dramatic decrease in the glucose 6-phosphate (G-6-P) concentration, whereas the glucose-6-phosphatase (G-6-Pase) and glucokinase (GK) activities were unchanged. Under hyperinsulinemic hyperglycemic condition, the GK flux was increased. The G-6-P concentration was not or only weakly decreased. The inhibition of HGP involved a significant 25% inhibition of the G-6-Pase activity. Under similar conditions in fasted rats, the GK flux was very low. The suppression of G-6-Pase and HGP did not occur, despite plasma insulin and glucose concentrations similar to those in PA rats. Therefore, 1) insulin suppresses HGP in euglycemia by solely decreasing the G-6-P concentration; 2) when combining both hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia, the suppression of HGP involves the inhibition of the G-6-Pase activity; and 3) a sustained glucose-phosphorylation flux might be a crucial determinant in the inhibition of G-6-Pase and of HGP.
