N-Nitrosomethylurea (NMU) (20 mg/kg) was i.p. administered to rats on the 21st day of pregnancy. A decrease of glucose utilisation in the oral glucose tolerance test was found in 3 month old female progeny of NMU-treated rats. The serum insulin level did not differ from control, but serum cholesterol level was higher in offspring of NMU-treated rats. The ability of diethylstilboestrol to inhibit compensatory ovarian hypertrophy was decreased in female hemicastrated 3 month old rats whose mothers were treated with NMU. Postnatal administration of the antidiabetic drug buformin decreased the malignant neurogenic tumor incidence 3.5 times (to rats transplacentally treated with NMU).

D007030 Hypothalamo-Hypophyseal System A collection of NEURONS, tracts of NERVE FIBERS, endocrine tissue, and blood vessels in the HYPOTHALAMUS and the PITUITARY GLAND. This hypothalamo-hypophyseal portal circulation provides the mechanism for hypothalamic neuroendocrine (HYPOTHALAMIC HORMONES) regulation of pituitary function and the release of various PITUITARY HORMONES into the systemic circulation to maintain HOMEOSTASIS.

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).
