The effect of alpha, beta, or combined sympathetic blockade on the increase in energy expenditure and concentrations of norepinephrine, glucose, and insulin following oral intake of 100 g of glucose was studied in lean subjects. Alpha blockade with intravenous (IV) phentolamine (n = 5) infusion increased oxygen consumption after glucose ingestion but no more than it increased the oxygen consumption when no glucose was given. Beta blockade with IV propranolol (n = 13) and combined alpha and beta blockade (n = 6) did not affect basal metabolic rate or the increase in metabolic rate after glucose ingestion. Phentolamine or combined propranolol plus phentolamine administration markedly increased plasma norepinephrine concentrations. Basal glucose and insulin concentrations were not affected by any of the infused drugs. Glucose-stimulated insulin concentrations were unchanged by propranolol and combined blockade, whereas there was a trend (P = 0.07) toward an increased response to glucose during phentolamine administration. These data do not support a role for the sympathetic nervous system in the increase in metabolic rate following glucose ingestion. The increase in metabolic rate during phentolamine administration can be attributed to beta adrenergic stimulation.
