Popis: Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (mFAO) is considered to be essential for driving gluconeogenesis (GNG) during fasting. However, quantitative in vivo data on de novo synthesis of glucose-6-phosphate upon acute inhibition of mFAO are lacking. We assessed hepatic glucose metabolism in vivo after acute inhibition of mFAO by 30 mg kg(-1) 2-tetradecylglycidic acid (TDGA) in hypoketotic hypoglycemic male C57BL/6J mice by the infusion of [U-C-13]glucose, [2-C-13]glycerol, [1-H-2] galactose, and paracetamol for 6 hours, which was followed by mass isotopomer distribution analysis in blood glucose and urinary paracetamol-glucuronide. During TDGA treatment, endogenous glucose production was unaffected (127 +/- 10 versus 118 +/- 7 mu mol kg(-1) minute(-1), control versus TDGA, not significant), but the metabolic clearance rate of glucose was significantly enhanced (15.9 +/- 0.9 versus 26.3 +/- 1.1 mL kg(-1) minute(-1), control versus TDGA, P
