The effect of hyperglycemia on whole body substrate utilization and the metabolic profile of skeletal muscle has been investigated. Eight glucose-tolerant men were infused with somatostatin (S) for 190 min. During the last 120 min of S infusion, glucose was infused to achieve a steady-state plasma level of 26 mmol/l. Biopsies were obtained from the quadriceps femoris muscle immediately before and 35 and 120 min after induction of hyperglycemia. Steady-state glucose disposal during hyperglycemia averaged (+/- SE) 33.8 +/- 3.2-mu-mol.kg fat-free mass-1.min-1, and approximately 70% of the glucose disposal was accounted for by skeletal muscle. Intracellular glucose increased from 0.9 +/- 0.2 mmol/kg dry wt during S to 9.5 +/- 2.5 during hyperglycemia (P < 0.01). It was estimated that approximately 35% of the glucose taken up by muscle during 120 min of hyperglycemia was not phosphorylated. Muscle contents of alpha-D-glucose 1,6-diphosphate, D-glucose 6-phosphate, ATP, ADP, and AMP (both of which are based on the phosphocreatine-to-creatine ratio), which have been shown to inhibit hexokinase in vitro, did not change significantly during hyperglycemia, nor were there any significant changes in any of the other postphosphofructokinase intermediates, D-fructose 2,6-diphosphate, and citrate. Hyperglycemia did not alter the fractional activities of glycogen synthase or phosphorylase, nor total phosphorylase activity. However, hyperglycemia resulted in a 55% increase in glycogen synthase-specific activity (P < 0.01). It is concluded that hyperglycemia results in a marked increase in muscle glucose. It is suggested that the accumulation of glucose in muscle is a consequence of a glucose transport rate that exceeds the rate at which hexokinase phosphorylates glucose in vivo.
