    Abstract:
    Hepatic glucose-6-phosphatase (G6Pase) plays an important role in glucose metabolism because it catalyzes the release of glucose to the circulatory system in the processes of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. The present study was initiated to analyze the regulation of hepatic G6Pase expression by dietary carbohydrates in rainbow trout. The first step in our study was the identification of a partial G6Pase cDNA in rainbow trout that was highly homologous to that of mammals. Hepatic G6Pase activities and mRNA levels were measured in trout fed one of the experimental diets, with or without carbohydrates. We found no significant effect of intake of dietary carbohydrates on G6Pase expression (mRNA and activity) 6 hours and 24 hours after feeding. These results suggest that there is no control of G6Pase synthesis by dietary carbohydrates in rainbow trout and that the lack of regulation of gluconeogenesis by dietary carbohydrates could at least partially explain the postprandial hyperglycemia and the low dietary glucose utilization observed in this species.
