Abstract
We have recently found that in nondiabetic dogs and humans, suppression of glucose production (GP) is mediated by both peripheral and hepatic effects of insulin. We have also found that both nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA) and glucagon are important determinants of the peripheral effect of insulin on GP. However, in moderately hyperglycemic depancreatized dogs, suppression of GP appeared to be mediated by peripheral but not hepatic insulin. In this latter study, insulin concentrations were in the high postprandial range (approximately 300 pmol/L) and suppression of GP may have been close to maximum. The aim of the present study was to determine whether GP can be regulated by hepatic insulin in depancreatized dogs at low insulin concentrations in the postabsorptive range. Depancreatized dogs were maintained at moderately hyperglycemic levels (approximately 10 mmol/L) by subbasal insulin infusions. In paired experiments, additional low-dose equimolar insulin infusions (0.75 pmol/kg x min) were administered peripherally (PER, n = 6) or portally (POR, n = 6) during glucose clamps. This resulted in a minimal increase in peripheral insulin levels, which was greater in PER versus POR, 29.0 +/- 3.7 versus 11.7 +/- 2.2 pmol/L. Also, we infused insulin peripherally at half this rate (1/2 PER, n = 6) to match the increase in peripheral insulin levels in POR (1/2 PER, 14.6 +/- 2.2) and thus obtain a selective POR versus 1/2 PER difference in hepatic sinusoidal insulin levels. PER suppressed GP more than POR (45.4% +/- 4.0% v 35.3% +/- 6.8%, P < .001), whereas POR did not suppress GP more than 1/2 PER (35.6% +/- 6.3%). Therefore, suppression of GP was proportional to peripheral rather than hepatic sinusoidal insulin levels, as in our previous study at higher insulin concentrations. In conclusion, during glucose clamps in moderately hyperglycemic depancreatized dogs, (1) suppression of GP was dominated by insulin's peripheral effects not only at postprandial but also postabsorptive insulin levels, and (2) we found no evidence for a hepatic effect of insulin in suppressing GP. We hypothesize that this effect is reduced in the depancreatized dog model of diabetes due to hepatic insulin resistance and/or hyperglycemia.

Abstract
The absorption of a bolus of intraperitoneal insulin into the splanchnic and peripheral circulations was separately assessed in dogs using an infusion of two insulin tracers (A1-[3H]insulin and B1-[3H]insulin). One tracer was infused into the superior mesenteric artery and the second into the jugular vein. Serial samples were taken before and after an injection of insulin (1 U/kg ip). Sampling was from the portal vein and the inferior vena cava. By using the principle of equivalent entry of tracer and unlabeled material, we developed two simultaneous equations for the rate of splanchnic and peripheral insulin absorption at each time point. These were solved to yield the two rates. Mean concentrations in the portal vein were approximately 25% higher than in the inferior vena cava, reflecting the splanchnic absorption. This rate accounted for almost half (51 +/- 9%) of the insulin absorbed. The remainder of the absorption was peripheral. The total recovery of intraperitoneal insulin, absorbed by either route, was 88 +/- 11%. Portal absorption peaked earlier than peripheral. Absorption by both routes was 90% complete within approximately 2 h (131 +/- 16 min). In summary, therefore, intraperitoneal insulin is rapidly and almost completely absorbed, with absorption split between the splanchnic and peripheral routes of entry.

Abstract
To assess the metabolic consequences of the diversion of the pancreatic venous drainage to the systemic circulation, the pancreaticoduodenal and gastrosplenic veins were anastomosed to the inferior vena cava in nine normal dogs. This procedure maintained the integrity of the entire pancreas while shunting the hormonal output of the pancreas to the periphery. The metabolic effects were assessed from the sensitivity to insulin during a euglycemic hyperinsulinemic glucose clamp using an insulin infusion of 800 microU/kg per min. The studies were controlled by their duplication in seven dogs identically treated but with the pancreatic veins reanastomosed to the portal vein. No differences in systemic insulin levels or insulin sensitivity before and after surgery were seen under these circumstances. After diversion, however, basal insulin levels rose from 4.5 +/- 1.0 to 11.5 +/- 2.5 microU/ml. Basal glucose metabolic clearance rate (MCR) rose to 3.0 +/- 0.4 from 2.0 +/- 0.3 ml/kg per min. On insulin infusion, maximal stimulation of MCR within the 2-h infusion period was to 15.2 +/- 2.5 ml/kg per min preoperatively and to 7.2 +/- 0.8 ml/kg per min after diversion. Using ratios of MCR-to-insulin concentration as an index of insulin sensitivity, it was demonstrated that this index decreased by at least 50% after diversion. These data imply that portal venous drainage of the pancreas is an important factor in the determination of peripheral insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
In order to elucidate the effect of a relative time delay on glucose regulation, we performed experiments with differently timed infusions of insulin and glucose in a canine model. When portal insulin infusion (0.03 U/kg over 5 minutes) preceded portal glucose infusion (0.05 g/kg over 5 minutes) by 1 minute, glycemia increased to a maximum value of 104 +/- 4 mg/dL at 6 minutes, whereas insulinemia peaked at 3 minutes at a level of 130 +/- 4 microU/mL (baseline, 21 +/- 7 microU/mL). C-peptide levels increased from 200 +/- 50 to 270 +/- 30 pmol/L. Glycemia then decreased to a minimum level of 61 +/- 4 mg/dL, significantly lower (P less than .02) than the corresponding values in control experiments when insulin was infused alone. With a reversed timing sequence of infusions with glucose infusion preceding insulin infusion by 1 minute, glycemia increased similarly, but decreased to a minimum level of only 84 +/- 4 mg/dL, which was significantly higher (P less than .01) than in the above experiment. Insulinemia peaked similarly at 126 +/- 7 microU/mL, and C-peptide increased from 210 +/- 50 to 280 +/- 50 pmol/L. These experiments demonstrated an unexpected effect: adding glucose to an insulin infusion almost doubled the biological activity of the exogenous insulin as measured by its hypoglycemic action. They also indicated that small perturbations of glycemia and insulinemia in the portal circulation have a profound effect on metabolism, and that even short relative time delays in elevating either insulinemia or glycemia can cause significantly different metabolic outcomes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Alternative substrates other than glucose could be used by the brain. In this study we hypothesized that lactate and ketone bodies can provide a significant portion of oxidative brain substrates in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). Six control (C) and six insulin-treated streptozotocin diabetic (IDDM) dogs were studied during euglycemia (EU) and acute insulin induced hypoglycemia (HYPO). During EU for similar plasma glucose concentration (5.5 +/- 0.4 v 5.2 +/- 0.2 mmol/L in IDDM dogs showed a higher baseline lactate concentration (1.5 +/- 0.25 v 0.74 +/- 0.10 mmol/L; P less than .05). The ketone body concentrations were also increased in IDDM dogs but this increase was not statistically significant. The brain glucose uptake was 6.9 +/- 0.6 mumol/kg/min in C and 5.4 +/- 0.7 in IDDM. Lactate was released by the brain both in IDDM dogs (11.36 +/- 1.8 mumol/kg/min) and in C dogs (3.87 +/- 0.9; P less than .05). The brain ketones rate of disappearance (Rd) was 0.3 +/- 0.05 mumol/kg/min in IDDM dogs and 0.19 +/- 0.08 in C dogs. During HYPO the glucose uptake across the brain was 2.88 +/- 0.7 mumol/kg/min in IDDM and 3.12 +/- 0.5 in C dogs. We observed an overall brain lactate release (3.21 +/- 1.7 mol/kg/min) in C dogs and a net uptake (13.44 +/- 1.1; P less than .01) in IDDM (P less than .01). The brain ketones Rd was 0.1 +/- 0.2 mumol/kg/min in IDDM and 0.1 +/- 0.1 in C dogs.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Standardized models of type I diabetes-like insulin deficiency in larger laboratory animals hardly exist. It was therefore investigated whether stable long-term insulin deficiency in dogs can be induced by selective beta-cell destruction in a safe and reliable procedure without damage of other organs. In Beagle dogs, the diabetogenic response to systemic streptozotocin administration (38.5-28 mg/kg b.wt.) was tested. In addition, resection of corpus and cauda pancreatis in combination with selective streptozotocin perfusion (25 mg/kg b.wt.) of the remaining pancreas tissue was evaluated. Whereas systemic streptozotocin administration failed to destroy insulin secretion, but led to a variety of intoxication symptoms even in comparatively low doses (28 mg/kg b.wt.), the latter procedure resulted in a complete and persistent insulin depletion (basal serum immunoreactive insulin less than or equal to 3 microU/ml, no stimulated response) without toxic organ damage or other serious side effects. The dogs developed type I-like diabetes, which required continuous exogenous insulin substitution. From these results, subtotal pancreatectomy with selective streptozotocin perfusion of the remaining pancreas is proposed as a safe model of insulin deficiency in dogs, which should be further evaluated in experimental diabetology.

Abstract
A new technique to catheterize the celiac artery has been developed. This has opened the possibility for direct in vivo, in situ study of pancreatic endocrine cell function in a conscious experimental animal. The catheter is small, soft and placed without arterial ligation so that celiac artery, hepatic, splenic, and pancreatic blood flows were essentially not compromised. Arterial vessel integrity, absence of inflammation, and thrombosis as well as catheter patency were achieved for periods exceeding eight months. Metabolically and hormonally, the presence of the catheter had no effect on the fasting status. However, we found somewhat lower glucose levels and higher insulin levels in the response to oral glucose challenges after catheterization, but these differences were statistically not significant. Glucose loads of 50 mg/kg (0.75 g) administered directly to the pancreas via the celiac artery produced peak insulin levels similar to peripheral glucose loads some tenfold larger. We suggest that this technique may be useful to selectively study the first-pass pancreatic response to a variety of hormones, drugs or metabolic substrates.

Abstract
High levels of gluconeogenic precursors have been reported in patients with long-term diabetes secondary to total pancreatectomy. In the present study, blood concentrations of alanine, lactate and pyruvate were measured in six patients undergoing total pancreatectomy and in nine control subjects undergoing major abdominal surgery. To exclude the simple effect of lack of insulin and hyperglycaemia in the development of hyperalaninaemia following total pancreatectomy, three pancreatectomized patients and five control subjects underwent surgical operation while connected to an artificial pancreas. Blood concentration of alanine was constant in the control subjects during surgery (182 +/- 20 and 243 +/- 31 mumol/l with and without the artificial pancreas, respectively). In pancreatectomized patients basal blood alanine levels were similar to those in control subjects. Blood alanine level rose quickly after removal of the pancreas from 182 +/- 24 to 285 +/- 15 mumol/1 (p less than 0.05) in the patients connected to the artificial pancreas, and from 198 +/- 17 to 395 +/- 47 mumol/1 (p less than 0.05) in patients undergoing total pancreatectomy without artificial pancreas. These values were higher than those observed in the control subjects at the end of the operation (192 +/- 22 and 230 +/- 45 mumol/l with and without artificial pancreas, respectively.) Basal and intraoperative blood concentrations of lactate and pyruvate were similar in pancreatectomized patients and control subjects.

Abstract
Healthy laboratory dogs appear to absorb a mixed meal from the gut at a constant rate. This rate is apparently not affected by meal size. If this is the case, then duration of absorption should depend on total or integrated meal size, whereas metabolite and hormonal levels would be independent of the number of feedings. To explore these hypotheses further, we compared the metabolite and hormonal responses with a single mixed meal and one divided in two halves, provided in two feedings 4 h apart. We detected no effect of the second meal in the metabolic response levels of glucose, lactate, pyruvate, alanine, free fatty acids, or 3-hydroxybutyrate or the hormonal responses of insulin, pancretic glucagon, gastrin, or secretin. Only minor differences were detectable in the hormonal response levels of pancreatic polypeptide, gastric inhibitory peptide, and enteroglucagon, consistent with a response to a second meal. We conclude that the observed change in circulating metabolite or hormone concentration is independent of the size of meal eaten, but the duration of the excursion depends on meal size. Thus, during the bulk phase of nutrient uptake, the absorption mechanism of the laboratory dog appears to be saturated.

Abstract
We report a comparison of continuous intraperitoneal insulin infusion (CIPII) and continuous intravenous insulin infusion (CIVII) in 6 diabetic patients in whom severe hyperglycaemia and ketoacidosis could not be prevented with subcutaneous or intramuscular insulin. In the short term both methods were equally effective in maintaining glycaemic control. Blood glucose, glycerol, and 3-hydroxybutyrate levels were normal but lactate and pyruvate levels remained elevated with both treatments. Insulin requirements were significantly lower on CIPII than CIVII (70 vs 113 U/day, p less than 0.01). Intraperitoneal insulin delivery was associated with near physiological peripheral plasma insulin profiles in 3 patients. In the longer term CIVII was associated with frequent septicaemia and thrombosis, and was successful in preventing hospitalization for 6 months or more in only one patient. Despite technical problems with CIPII complications were less serious and hospital admission due to metabolic decompensation was prevented for 6 months or more in 3 patients. When subcutaneous insulin delivery is unsuccessful in the management of brittle diabetes, CIPII should be considered rather than CIVII because it is more likely to be successful and less likely to cause serious complications.

Abstract
Normoglycaemia, peripheral normoinsulinaemia, and normoglucagonaemia were restored acutely in chronically diabetic dogs, using an extracorporal artificial B cell with peripheral venous insulin administration. Glucose metabolism was analysed by a non-steady-state tracer technique with double-labelled glucose (6-3H- and U-14C-glucose), and the incorporation of the 14C label into plasma lactate was determined. In the basal state, glucose turnover rates were not different from those in non-diabetic controls; but recirculation of the glucose-C label through the Cori cycle, and lactate labelling from glucose utilization were decreased. The glycaemic response to an intravenous infusion of non-labelled glucose was distinctly enhanced. This was based on a reduction in the rates of glucose disappearance. Its rates of appearance (total endogenous glucose production) were, however, suppressed to a normal extent by the exogenous glucose. Accordingly carbon recycling was nearly totally suppressed during the glucose infusion as in the controls. It is concluded that metabolic recompensation in these fasting, resting diabetic dogs remained incomplete because the interval of normoinsulinaemia, which obviously applied only to the peripheral circulation, was not long enough.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes due to pancreatectomy have metabolic features different from Type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes after insulin withdrawal. Whether or not glucagon by itself or combined glucagon-insulin absence are responsible for this metabolic behaviour is unknown. This study was carried out to evaluate the ability of insulin replacement to abolish differences between patients with Type 1 diabetes and patients with diabetes due to pancreatectomy. We studied the diurnal patterns of intermediary metabolites, free insulin, and glucagon using the Biostator (glucose-controlled insulin infusion system) and intensive subcutaneous insulin therapy in five patients after total pancreatectomy, five after partial pancreatectomy and seven patients with Type 1 diabetes. All were studied for 24 h after an overnight period of normoglycaemia. Insulin requirement was lower in the patients with total pancreatectomy than in patients with partial pancreatectomy or Type 1 diabetes during both types of insulin treatment (p less than 0.05). Blood glucose and free insulin were similar in all the groups in both conditions. Immunoreactive glucagon was higher in the patients with diabetes secondary to pancreatectomy than in Type 1 diabetic patients. However, glucagon levels did not increase after arginine infusion in the patients with total pancreatectomy, and column chromatography of blood samples from two totally pancreatectomized patients showed no significant levels of immunoreactive pancreatic glucagon. Non-esterified fatty acids and ketone bodies were similar during Biostator and intensive subcutaneous insulin therapy. By contrast, gluconeogenic precursors (lactate, pyruvate, alanine and glycerol) were higher in patients with total pancreatectomy than in patients with partial pancreatectomy and Type 1 diabetes.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
Insulin plays a central role in metabolic control after a mixed meal. In the absence of adequate meal insulin release, abnormal circulating concentrations of most meal-derived metabolic substrates can be expected. To quantify these abnormalities in depth, responses of six pancreatectomized dogs on long-term intravenous insulin replacement were compared to those of five normal control dogs. Blood samples were drawn hourly for 24 h via a chronic indwelling catheter, and all animals ate a single mixed meal. To establish whether there were route-related differences, insulin was delivered into either the portal or the peripheral circulation of the diabetic animals at constant rates. These insulin infusion rates resulted in premeal fasting normoglycemia and in normal levels of insulin, glucagon, lactate, pyruvate, 3-hydroxybutyrate, nonesterified fatty acids, and 9 of 13 amino acids. In the absence of enhanced meal insulin infusion, the subsequent responses of glucose, lactate, pyruvate, alanine, and 10 of 13 other blood amino acids were exaggerated in terms of both amplitude and duration. Only minor or transient differences were attributable to the routes of insulin infusion. Remarkably, in spite of these abnormal postmeal responses, basal insulin alone (with constant circulating levels) succeeded in restoring all metabolite and hormonal levels during the postabsorptive period 16-23 h after the meal. Thus, with intravenous insulin infusions, the requirements for fasting metabolic normalization may be considered independently of those for metabolic control following caloric intake. It remains to be shown how prolonged deprivation of the postprandial insulin supplement results in metabolic decompensation under these conditions.
