To determine whether feedforward control of liver glycogenolysis during exercise is subject to negative feedback by elevated blood glucose, glucose was infused into exercising rats at a rate that elevated blood glucose greater than 10 mM. Liver glycogen content decreased 22.4 mg/g in saline-infused rats compared with 13.6 mg/g in glucose-infused rats during the first 40 min of treadmill running (21 m/min, 15% grade). Liver adenosine 3',5'-cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) concentration was significantly lower in the glucose-infused rats during the exercise bout. The concentration of hepatic fructose 2,6-bisphosphate remained elevated throughout the exercise bout in glucose-infused rats but decreased markedly in saline-infused rats. Plasma insulin concentration was higher and plasma glucagon concentration lower in glucose-infused rats than in saline-infused rats during exercise. Early in exercise, liver glycogenolysis proceeds in the glucose-infused rats despite the fact that glucose and insulin concentrations are markedly elevated and liver cAMP is unchanged from resting values. These observations suggest the existence of a cAMP-independent feedforward system for activation of liver glycogenolysis that can override classical negative feedback mechanisms during exercise.
