Role of hepatic glycogen breakdown in defective counterregulation of hypoglycemia in intensively treated type 1 diabetes

Abstract

Impairment of hypoglycemic counterregulation in intensively treated type 1 diabetes has been attributed to deficits in counterregulatory hormone secretion. However, because the liver plays a critical part in recovery of plasma glucose, abnormalities in hepatic glycogen metabolism per se could also play an important role. We quantified the contribution of net hepatic glycogenolysis during insulin-induced hypoglycemia in 10 nondiabetic subjects and 7 type 1 diabetic subjects (HbA1c 6.5 +/- 0.2%) using 13C nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, during 2 h of either hyperinsulinemic euglycemia (plasma glucose 92 +/- 4 mg/dl) or hypoglycemia (plasma glucose 58 +/- 3 mg/dl). In nondiabetic subjects, hypoglycemia was associated with a brisk counterregulatory hormone response (plasma epinephrine 246 +/- 38 vs. 2,785 +/- 601 pmol/l during hypoglycemia, plasma norepinephrine 1.9 +/- 0.2 vs. 2.5 +/- 0.3 nmol/l, and glucagon 38 +/- 7 vs. 92 +/- 17 pg/ml, respectively, P < 0.001 in all), and a relative increase in endogenous glucose production (EGP 0.83 +/- 0.14 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1) during euglycemia yet approximately 50% higher with hypoglycemia [1.30 +/- 0.20 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1)], P < 0.001). Net hepatic glycogen content declined pro...Continue Reading
