The role of gluconeogenesis on the increase in plasma glucose and liver glycogen of rats exposed to hyper-G (radial acceleration) stress was determined. Overnight-fasted, male Sprague-Dawley rats (250-300 g) were injected i.p. with uniformly labeled 14C lactate, alanine or glycerol (5 .mu.Ci/rat) and immediately exposed to 3.1G for 0.25, 0.50 and 1.0 h. 14C incorporation of the labeled substrates into plasma glucose and liver glycogen was measured and compared to noncentrifuged control rats injected in a similar manner. Significant increases in 14C incorporation of all 3 labeled substrates into plasma glucose was observed in centrifuged rats at all exposure periods; 14C incorporation into liver glycogen was significantly increased only at 0.50 and 1.0 h. The i.p. administration (5 mg/100-g body wt) of 5-methoxyindole-2-carboxylic acid, a potent gluconeogenesis inhibitor, prior to centrifugation blocked the increase in plasma glucose and liver glycogen during the 1st h of centrifugation. The increase in plasma glucose and liver glycogen was also abolished in adrenodemedullated rats exposed to centrifugation for 1.0 h. Propranolol, a .beta.-adrenergic blocker, suppressed the increase in plasma glucose of rats exposed to centrifugation for 0.24 h. Apparently, the initial, rapid rise in plasma glucose as well as the increase in liver glycogen of rats exposed to hyper-G stress can be attributed to an increased rate of gluconeogenesis, epinephrine evidently, plays a dominant role during the early stages of exposure to centrifugation.
