We examined the role of the hepatic vagus nerve in hepatic and peripheral glucose metabolism. To assess endogenous glucose production (EGP), hepatic uptake of first-pass glucose infused intraportally (HGU), and the metabolic clearance rate of glucose (MCR), rats were subjected to hepatic vagotomy (HV, n = 7) or sham operation (SH, n = 8), after 10 days, they were then subjected to a euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp together with a portal glucose load in the 24-hour fasting state. Metabolic parameters were determined by the dual-tracer method using stable isotopes. During the experiment, [6,6-2H2]glucose was continuously infused into the peripheral vein. To maintain euglycemia (4.5 mmol/L), insulin (54 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1)) and glucose were infused peripherally after the 90-minute tracer equilibration and 30-minute basal periods, and glucose containing 5% enriched [U-13C]glucose was infused intraportally (50 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1)) for 120 minutes (clamp period). EGP was significantly higher in HV rats versus SH rats during the basal period (64.3 +/- 7.6 v 43.6 +/- 5.3 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < .005)) and was comparable to EGP in SH rats during the clamp period (9.3 +/- 21.5 v 1.1 +/- 11.7 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1)). HGU was reduced in HV rats compared with SH rats during portal glucose infusion (5.9 +/- 2.4 v 10.1 +/- 3.2 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1)). The MCR in HV rats was significantly higher than in SH rats in the basal period (11.0 +/- 2.0 v 7.9 +/- 0.8 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1), P < .01)) and was comparable to the MCR in SH rats during the clamp period (41.9 +/- 10.0 and 36.6 +/- 5.7 mL x kg(-1) x min(-1)). We conclude that innervation of the hepatic vagus nerve is important for the regulation of hepatic glucose production in the postabsorptive state and HGU in the postprandial state.
