Glucocorticoids administered to rats stimulate the rates of utilization of substrates by subsequently isolated hepatic mitochondria. This stimulation was observed in the carboxylation and decarboxylation of pyruvate and in the oxidation of .beta.-hydroxybutyrate and succinate during state 3 and uncoupled conditions. These effects were produced by cortisol, triamcinolone and dexamethasone, but not by deoxycorticosterone. Responses to the steroids were similar to those observed after glucagon or triiodothyronine [T3] administration. The stimulation of the rate of pyruvate decarboxylation occurred independently of the rate of pyruvate carboxylation. Steroids varied with respect to the time required after in vivo administration for stimulation of metabolism to occur, as well as for achievement of maximally stimulated levels. Significant stimulation was obtained within 60 min after treatment with cortisol-succinate and 90 min after dexamethasone or cortisol. Maximal stimulation was observed after 2-4 h of treatment. The dose dependency of the mitochondrial responses was observable in the increase in the rates of pyruvate carboxylation after dexamethasone or cortisol treatment. Of the 2 steroids tested, dexamethasone was approximately 2000-fold more potent than cortisol in increasing mitochondrial activity. The effects of 30 min of treatment with glucagon or 20 h with T3 were additive with the stimulation produced by glucocorticoids. Complete additivity was found in the increased rates of pyruvate carboxylation, while oxidation of substrates was approximately 75% additive.
