RESUMO
The effect of autonomic denervation on the metabolic and hormonal responses during intracellular glucopenia in man was investigated. 2-Deoxy-d-glucose (2 DG), a competitive inhibitor of glucose metabolism, was administered intravenously to nine normal volunteers and to five patients, three with complete cervical cord transection (C-6) and two with idiopathic orthostatic hypotension. Before, during, and after a 20 min infusion of 2 DG (50 mg/kg) plasma concentrations of glucose, lactate, FFA, total catecholamines, immunoreactive insulin (IRI), human growth hormone (HGH), and cortisol were determined for periods up to 150 min. In control subjects, the initial elevation of FFA, glucose. HGH, and cortisol corresponded with the rise in total catecholamines, with maximal levels attained at 60 min, lactate rose at a slower rate, reaching peak levels at 150 min: although no change in IRI was noted. In contrast, 2 DG-induced glucopenic stress in the autonomic denervated subjects was characterized by no detectable catecholamine release or significant rise in glucose, FFA, lactate, or IRI. However, HGH and cortisol responses in four of the five patients were of a similar or greater magnitude than controls.
