Effects of four- to fivefold elevations of epinephrine (EPI) on glucose (Glc) metabolism were assessed in eight dogs before and after an intravenous Glc tolerance test, performed 30 min (short EPI) and 72 h (long EPI) after start of EPI infusion. Short EPI increased plasma nonesterified fatty acids (NEFA; 0.46 +/- 0.08 to 0.78 +/- 0.12 mmol/l, P less than 0.05), but Glc and insulin were unchanged. After long EPI, NEFA returned to control but Glc increased from 5.1 +/- 0.1 to 5.7 +/- 0.2 mmol/l (P less than 0.05). EPI reduced overall Glc tolerance (KG) from 3.5 +/- 0.7 to 2.5 +/- 0.2 (short EPI, P less than 0.05) and 2.3 +/- 0.3%/min (long EPI, P less than 0.02). Minimal model analysis showed that short EPI decreased insulin sensitivity (SI) from 7.9 +/- 1.1 to 4.2 +/- 1.2 min-1 per mU/l X 10(-4) (P less than 0.005) and increased pancreatic responsiveness (phi 1 from 3.7 +/- 0.3 to 7.4 +/- 2.9 mU/l.min-1 per mg/dl, P less than 0.025; phi 2 from 2.6 +/- 0.7 to 4.9 +/- 1.2 mU/l.min-2 per mg/dl). After long EPI SI, phi 1, and phi 2 returned to control. In contrast, Glc-mediated Glc disposal (SG) was decreased from 3.5 +/- 0.5 X 10(-2) to 2.8 +/- 0.6 X 10(-2) (short EPI) and 1.3 +/- 0.6 X 10(-2) min-1 (long EPI, P less than 0.02). We conclude that prolonged infusion of EPI leads to adaptation to its acute effects on NEFA, SI, phi 1, and phi 2.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
