Rat Small Intestine Is an Insulin-Sensitive Gluconeogenic Organ

At variance with the current view that only liver and kidney are gluconeogenic organs, because both are the only tissues to express glucose-6-phosphatase (Glc6Pase), we have recently demonstrated that the Glc6Pase gene is expressed in the small intestine in rats and humans and that it is induced in insulinopenic states such as fasting and diabetes. We used a combination of arteriovenous balance and isotopic techniques, reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction, Northern blot analysis, and enzymatic activity assays. We report that rat small intestine can release neosynthesized glucose in mesenteric blood in insulinopenia, contributing 20–25% of total endogenous glucose production. Like liver glucose production, small intestine glucose production is acutely suppressed by insulin infusion. In the small intestine, glutamine and, to a much lesser extent, glycerol are the precursors of glucose, whereas alanine and lactate are the main precursors in liver. Accounting for these metabolic fluxes: 1) the phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase gene (required for the utilization of glutamine) is strongly induced at the mRNA and enzyme levels in insulinopenia; 2) the glycerokinase gene is expressed, but not induced; 3) the pyruvate carboxylase gene (required for the utilization of alanine and lactate) is repressed by 80% at the enzyme level in insulinopenia. These studies identify small intestine as a new insulin-sensitive tissue and a third gluconeogenic organ, possibly involved in the pathophysiology of diabetes.
