Carbon dioxide sensitivity during hypoglycaemia‐induced, elevated metabolism in the anaesthetized rat

Abstract: We have utilized an anaesthetized rat model of insulin-induced hypoglycaemia to test the hypothesis that peripheral chemoreceptor gain is augmented during hypermetabolism. Insulin infusion at 0.4 U kg (-1)min(-1) decreased blood glucose concentration significantly to 3.37 +/- 0.12 mmol l(-1). Whole-body metabolism and basal ventilation were elevated without increase in P(a,CO(2)) (altered non-significantly from the control level, to 37.3 +/- 2.6 mmHg). Chemoreceptor gain, measured either as spontaneous ventila… Show more

“…These results suggest that, in general, peripheral chemoreceptor activity does not participate in the fed/fasted variation of the central respiratory output. This is not necessarily consistent with previous notions that hypoglycemia stimulates chemoafferent activity, or that it increases _ V E and ventilatory responses to hypoxia or hypercapnia [32][33][34]. The carotid bodies are believed to be important sensors for hypoxia and hypoglycemia, whose action is based on an insulin-induced severe hypoglycemia [35].…”

“…Therefore, the dissection of direct effect of hypoglycemia as a chemostimulant is extremely difficult, if not impossible. And second, since the gluscosensing properties are evidenced in cultured chemoreceptor cells and CB slices (21,40,59) and not in freshly isolated intact CB and/or CB-CSN preparations (1,4,5,11), it would appear, as suggested by Kumar (33), that the observed capacity of chemoreceptor cells to sense glucose levels represents a phenotypic change occurring in culture conditions.…”

“…In fact, several studies carried out in intact animals have claimed that the CB is indeed a glucose sensor, having a role on glucose homeostasis (2,32,51,54). Unfortunately, there is a nearly even number of studies performed both in intact animals and in intact isolated CB preparations denying the role of chemoreceptor cells as glucoreceptors (1,4,5,11,52). Without neglecting a role for the CB in glucose homeostasis, the concept on contention is the nature of the CB as a glucoreceptor.…”

“…1B), quantitative analysis of both subsystems can determine how changes in both the controller and plant elements affect V E or Pa CO 2 (5,6,17,18,41,45,46,48); however, to what extent changes in central blood volume (CBV) influence these variables and thus, by consequence, the operating point (V E or Pa CO 2 response) of the respiratory control system remain unclear.…”
