    Abstract:
    Glucose turnover and its regulation were studied during and after two identical bouts of intense exhaustive exercise separated by 1 h to define differences in response. Six lean young postabsorptive male subjects exercised at approximately 100% maximal O2 uptake (3.7 +/- 0.3 l/min) for 13.0 +/- 0.7 min for the first (EX1) and 13.2 +/- 0.8 min for the second (EX2) bout. Plasma glucose increased during EX1 and peaked at 7.0 +/- 0.6 mmol/l in early recovery but to 5.8 +/- 0.5 mmol/l (P less than 0.05) after EX2, and both the hyperglycemic and the hyperinsulinemic responses were less after EX2 (P less than 0.015, analysis of variance). The hyperglycemia was due to lesser increments in glucose utilization (Rd) (3-fold resting) than glucose production (Ra) (7-fold) toward exhaustion and for 7 min of recovery. The rise in Rd was more rapid (P less than 0.05) and metabolic clearance rate was greater during (P = 0.015) and from 9 to 60 min after EX2, and Ra also remained higher during recovery (P less than 0.05). Marked and similar increments in plasma norepinephrine (18-fold) and epinephrine (14-fold) occurred with both bouts. Plasma glucagon increments were small and not different. Therefore, 1) more circulating glucose was used with EX2, 2) greater metabolic clearance rate during and after EX2 suggests local muscle adaptations due to EX1, and 3) significant correlations (P less than 0.002) between plasma norepinephrine and Ra (r = 0.82) and Ra - Rd (r = 0.52) and between epinephrine and Ra (r = 0.71) and Ra - Rd (r = 0.48) suggest a major regulatory role for the catecholamine responses.
