The regulation of ketogenesis and gluconeogenesis was studied in isolated, perfused livers from hyper- and euthyroid rats. Experimental conditions were varied with respect to lactate and fatty acid concentration in the perfusion medium and with respect to the nutritional state of the rats. 1. The rate of uptake of oleate in perfused livers was independent of the thyroid and nutritional states of the animals. 2. In livers from 48-h-fasted rats no difference was found in rates of ketogenesis between the euthyroid and hyperthyroid livers except when 10 mM lactate was present in the perfusate. In recently fed rats the rates of ketogenesis from oleate (1 mM) and endogenous substrates were low in euthyroid livers (0.45 and 0.05 mumol/min per g liver, respectively), while these rates in hyperthyroid livers were (1.333 and 0.136 mumol/min per g liver, respectively). With octanoate as substrate, high rates of ketogenesis were found in recently fed livers from both euthyroid and hyperthyroid rats (1.573 and 1.717 mumol/min per g liver, respectively). 3. Without oleate in the perfusion medium the rate of gluconeogenesis from low (1 mM) lactate concentrations in livers from 48 h-fasted-rats was slightly increased in the hyperthyroid state (0.548 mumol/min per g liver) compared to the euthyroid state (0.408 mumol/min per g liver). When lactate concentration in the perfusion medium was raised to 10 mM the rate of gluconeogenesis was increased 4-fold in the hyperthyroid livers (1.800 mumol/min per g liver) but only 20% in the euthyroid livers (0.490 mumol/min per g liver). The presence of oleate (1 mM) had no effect on the rate of gluconeogenesis from low lactate concentrations in livers form 48-h-fasted animals of either thyroid state. At 10 mM lactate the inclusion of oleate caused a pronounced stimulation of gluconeogenesis in euthyroid livers (from 0.490 to 1.766 mumol/min per g liver) but not in hyperthyroid livers (from 1.800 to 1.973 mumol/min per g liver) so that the difference in the rate of gluconeogenesis between the two thyroid states disappeared. 4. The content of endogenous substrates was measured in liver biopsies taken before perfusion. The glycogen concentration was independent of the thyroid state in 48-h fasted animals. The triglyceride content was independent of the thyroid state in recently fed animals. In recently fed animals the glycogen content was reduced by 90% in hyperthyroid animals, and in 48-h-fasted animals the triglyceride content was reduced by 50% in hyperthyroid animals. 5. The energy cost of gluconeogenesis from lactate appeared to be independent of the thyroid state. |
