The differential effect of insulin in vivo on the peripheral utilization of glucose and ketone bodies in the rat. 1979

C M Herndon, and D S Schade, and R P Eaton

This in vivo study assessed the immediate effects of insulin on glucose and ketone body utilization in the fed, fasted, and diabetic ketoacidotic rat. The experimental design consisted of the functional removal of the liver (the site of glucose and ketone body production) and the pancreas from the anesthetized animals. This surgical procedure permitted the assessment of the effect of exogenously administered insulin on the rate of both glucose and ketone body utilization by peripheral tissues. Insulin exerted hypoglycemic activity in all three metabolic states studied. This hypoglycemic activity contrasted to the lack of demonstrable effect of this hormone on ketone body uptake by peripheral tissues. It was concluded that in the rat, the immediate effect of insulin, i.e. within 30 minutes, was to exert hypoglycemic activity without simultaneous hypoketoniemic activity.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007657 Ketone Bodies The metabolic substances ACETONE; 3-HYDROXYBUTYRIC ACID; and acetoacetic acid (ACETOACETATES). They are produced in the liver and kidney during FATTY ACIDS oxidation and used as a source of energy by the heart, muscle and brain. Acetone Bodies,Bodies, Acetone,Bodies, Ketone
D008099 Liver A large lobed glandular organ in the abdomen of vertebrates that is responsible for detoxification, metabolism, synthesis and storage of various substances. Livers
D010179 Pancreas A nodular organ in the ABDOMEN that contains a mixture of ENDOCRINE GLANDS and EXOCRINE GLANDS. The small endocrine portion consists of the ISLETS OF LANGERHANS secreting a number of hormones into the blood stream. The large exocrine portion (EXOCRINE PANCREAS) is a compound acinar gland that secretes several digestive enzymes into the pancreatic ductal system that empties into the DUODENUM.
