The purpose of this study was to compare the assessment of gluconeogenesis (GNG) in the overnight- and prolonged-fasted states and during chronic hypercortisolemia using the arteriovenous difference and [14C]phosphoenolpyruvate-liver biopsy techniques as well as a combination of the two. Two weeks before a study, catheters and flow probes were implanted in the hepatic and portal veins and femoral artery of dogs. Animals were studied after an 18-h fast (n = 8), a 42- or 66-h fast (n = 7), and an 18-h fast plus a continuous infusion of cortisol (3.0 µg · kg-1 · min-1) for 72 h (n = 7). Each experiment consisted of an 80-min tracer ([3-3H]glucose and [U-14C]alanine) and dye equilibration period (-80 to 0 min) and a 45-min sampling period. In the cortisol-treated group, plasma cortisol increased fivefold. In the overnight-fasted group, total GNG flux rate (GNGflux), conversion of glucose 6-phosphate to glucose (GNGG-6-Pright-arrow Glc), glucose cycling, and maximal GNG flux rate (GNGmax) were 0.95 ± 0.14, 0.65 ± 0.06, 0.62 ± 0.06, and 0.70 ± 0.09 mg · kg-1 · min-1, respectively. In the prolonged-fasted group, they were 1.50 ± 0.18, 1.18 ± 0.13, 0.40 ± 0.07, and 1.28 ± 0.10 mg · kg-1 · min-1, whereas in the cortisol-treated group they were 1.64 ± 0.33, 0.99 ± 0.29, 1.32 ± 0.24, and 0.91 ± 0.13 mg · kg-1 · min-1. These results demonstrate that GNGG-6-Pright-arrow Glc and GNGmax were almost identical. However, these rates were 15-38% lower than GNGflux generated by a combination of the two methods. This difference was most apparent in the steroid-treated group, where the combination of the two methods (GNGflux) detected a significant increase in gluconeogenic flux.
