Hypoglycaemia and food intake in rats given graduated doses of insulin. 1977

S Mozes, and S Kuchár, and K Boda

Hypoglycaemia of varying duration was induced with graduated doses of long-acting insulin (10, 40 and 160 U/kg b.w.) in young, growing (8- to 10-week-old) male Wistar rats fed ad libitum on two different diets. In all, 6 doses of insulin were administered, at 48-hour intervals. The blood glucose level and food consumption were determined 3, 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours after injecting the insulin. Both the hypoglycaemic effect and elevated food intake during hypoglycaemia depended on the dose of insulin and not on the type of diet. Total food consumption during the experiment (12 days) was markedly raised only in the groups given the maximum dose of insulin (160 U/kg b.w.). The weight gain in all the experimental groups was lower than in the control groups and food consumption per weight gain unit was higher.

D007003 Hypoglycemia A syndrome of abnormally low BLOOD GLUCOSE level. Clinical hypoglycemia has diverse etiologies. Severe hypoglycemia eventually lead to glucose deprivation of the CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM resulting in HUNGER; SWEATING; PARESTHESIA; impaired mental function; SEIZURES; COMA; and even DEATH.

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).
