The effect of polymyxin B on 3-O-methylglucose transport was studied in isolated rat adipocytes and erythrocytes. Polymyxin B (300 micrograms/mL) inhibited basal transport and insulin-stimulated transport of 3-O-methylglucose in adipocytes by 26.1 and 40.1%, respectively. Polymyxin B at concentrations of 300 and 3000 micrograms/mL inhibited transport of 3-O-methylglucose in erythrocytes by 20.0 and 40.8%, respectively. Polymyxin E at a concentration of 3000 micrograms/mL also inhibited, by 40.6%, the transport of 3-O-methylglucose in erythrocytes but 300 micrograms/mL of polymyxin E did not inhibit it significantly. These results indicate that polymyxin B inhibits glucose transport per se, as well as the insulin-dependent stimulation of glucose transport.

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).

D011112 Polymyxin B A mixture of polymyxins B1 and B2, obtained from BACILLUS POLYMYXA strains. They are basic polypeptides of about eight amino acids and have cationic detergent action on cell membranes. Polymyxin B is used for treatment of infections with gram-negative bacteria, but may be neurotoxic and nephrotoxic. Aerosporin,Polymyxin B Sulfate
D011919 Rats, Inbred Strains Genetically identical individuals developed from brother and sister matings which have been carried out for twenty or more generations or by parent x offspring matings carried out with certain restrictions.

D003091 Colistin Cyclic polypeptide antibiotic from Bacillus colistinus. It is composed of Polymyxins E1 and E2 (or Colistins A, B, and C) which act as detergents on cell membranes. Colistin is less toxic than Polymyxin B, but otherwise similar; the methanesulfonate is used orally. Polymyxin E,Colimycin,Colisticin,Colistin Sulfate,Coly-Mycin,Totazina,Sulfate, Colistin
