Physiol. 234 (2): E129-E136, 1978 or Am. J. Physiol.: Endocrinol. Metab+ Gastrointest. Physiol. 3 (Z): E129-E136, 1978.-The mechanism of the profound hypoglycemia that develops in newborn rats during a fast of 16 h beginning at birth has been investigated. This fasting hypoglycemia was partially reversed by giving oral triglycerides or an injection of gluconeogenic substrates (lactate, pyruvate, glycerol, alanine, glutamine, serinel, and completely reversed when these two treatments were combined. The rise in blood glucose induced by triglyceride feeding was not secondary to a decreased glucose utilization because the rate of glucose disappearance after intraperitoneal glucose injection was similar in fasted and triglyceride-fed newborns. That triglyceride feeding was associated with stimulation of gluconeogenesis by provision of fatty acids is inferred from the following: I) the rise in blood glucose after triglyceride feeding was totally suppressed by an inhibitor of gluconeogenesis(3-mercaptopicolinate); 2) a threefold increase in the conversion of labeled lactate or alanine into glucose was observed in vivo after triglyceride feeding; and? 7) concurrent inhibition of hepatic fatty acid oxidation by sodium pent+ enoate abolished the glycemic rise related to triglyceride feeding. These data suggest that lack of gluconeogenic substrate was not the primary factor limiting the activity of gluconeogenesis in fasted newborn rats. Rather, adequate free fatty acid availability appears essential to supply the energy required to sustain a high rate of gluconeogenie substrate conversion to glucose. Absence (as in newborn rats) or depletion of body fat stores could thus be causally associated with hypoglycemia by such a mechanism in other states. fasting; triglyceride feeding; gluconeogenesis; glucose utilization; ketogenesis
