In vivo glucose uptake can occur via two mechanisms, namely, insulin-mediated glucose uptake (IMGU) and non-insulin-mediated glucose uptake (NIMGU). Although the principal tissue sites for IMGU are skeletal muscle, the tissue sites for NIMGU at a given serum glucose concentration are not known. To examine this issue, rates of whole body glucose uptake (Rd) were measured at basal and during glucose clamp studies performed at euglycemia (.apprx. 90 mg/dl) and hyperglycemia (.apprx. 220 mg/dl) in six lean healthy men. Studies were performed during hyperinsulinemia (.apprx. 70 .mu.U/ml) and during somatostatin-induced insulinopenia to measure IMGU and NIMGU, respectively. During each study, leg glucose balance (arteriovenous catheter technique) was also measured. With this approach, rates of whole body skeletal muscle IMGU and NIMGU can be estimated, and the difference between overall Rd and skeletal muscle glucose uptake represents non-skeletal muscle Rd. The results indicate that .apprx. 20% of basal Rd is into skeletal muscle. During insulinopenia .apprx. 86% of body NIMGU occurs in non-skeletal muscle tissues at euglycemia. When hyperglycemia was created, whole body NIMGU increased from 128 .+-. 6 to 213 .+-. 18 mg/min (P < 0.01); NIMGU into non-skeletal muscle tissues was 134 .+-. 11 and 111 .+-. 6 mg/min at hyperglycemia and euglycemia, respectively, P = NS. Therefore, virtually all the hyperglycemia induced increment in NIMGU occurred in skeletal muscle. During hyperinsulinemia, IMGU in skeletal muscle represented 75 and 95% of body Rd, at euglycemia and hyperglycemia, respectively. In conclusion, the great majority of basal Rd is non-insulin mediated and occurs in non-skeletal muscle tissues, chiefly the central nervous system (CNS). Since Rd saturates at physiological glucose levels, hyperglycemia increases NIMGU in skeletal muscle but not in the CNS.
