Regulation of glucose production in rainbow trout: role of epinephrine in vivo and in isolated hepatocytes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The rate of hepatic glucose production (R(a) glucose) of rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) was measured in vivo by continuous infusion of [6-(3)H]glucose and in vitro on isolated hepatocytes to examine the role of epinephrine (Epi) in its regulation. By elevating Epi concentration and/or blocking beta-adrenoreceptors with propranolol (Prop), our goals were to investigate the mechanism for Epi-induced hyperglycemia to determine the possible role played by basal Epi concentration in maintaining resting R(a) glucose and to assess indirect effects of Epi in the intact animal. In vivo infusion of Epi caused hyperglycemia (3.75 +/- 0.16 to 8.75 +/- 0.54 mM) and a twofold increase in R(a) glucose (6.57 +/- 0.79 to 13.30 +/- 1.78 micromol. kg(-1). min(-1), n = 7), whereas Prop infusion decreased R(a) from 7.65 +/- 0.92 to 4.10 +/- 0.56 micromol. kg(-1). min(-1) (n = 10). Isolated hepatocytes increased glucose production when treated with Epi, and this response was abolished in the presence of Prop. We conclude that Epi-induced trout hyperglycemia is entirely caused by an increase in R(a) glucose, because the decrease in the rate of glucose disappearance normally seen in mammals does not occur in trout. Basal circulating levels of Epi are involved in maintaining resting R(a) glucose. Epi stimulates in vitro glucose production in a dose-dependent manner, and its effects are mainly mediated by beta-adrenoreceptors. Isolated trout hepatocytes produce glucose at one-half the basal rate measured in vivo, even when diet, temperature, and body size are standardized, and basal circulating Epi is responsible for part of this discrepancy. The relative increase in R(a) glucose after Epi stimulation is similar in vivo and in vitro, suggesting that indirect in vivo effects of Epi, such as changes in hepatic blood flow or in other circulating hormones, do not play an important role in the regulation of glucose production in trout.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
