Plasma cyclic nucleotide levels in juvenile-onset diabetes. 1977

M L Goldberg, and N V Bohannon, and R M Brooks, and E Tsalikian, and M Lorenzi, and P H Forsham

In patients with juvenile-onset diabetes, plasma concentrations of 3',5'-adenosine cyclic monophosphate (cAMP) were significantly lower than those of norman subjects [16 +/- 4 and 24 +/- 7 pmol per milliliter (p less than 0.025), respectively] as determined in this laboratory; whereas there were essentially no differences in plasma levels of 3',5'-guanosine cyclic monophosphate (cGMP). Because cAMP inhibits cell growth and cGMP stimulates it, these findings may represent an important factor in the atherosclerotic and obliterative angiopathies of diabetic individuals. We observed that cyclic nucleotide values were the same whether or not the subjects were receiving insulin. Those given insulin plus enough glucose to maintain hyperglycemia revealed modest elevations in cyclic nucleotide levels. Thus, the ratio of cAMP to cGMP, abnormally low in juvenile-onset diabetes, is relatively independent of short-term variations in plasma levels of either glucose of insulin.

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).

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.

D005934 Glucagon A 29-amino acid pancreatic peptide derived from proglucagon which is also the precursor of intestinal GLUCAGON-LIKE PEPTIDES. Glucagon is secreted by PANCREATIC ALPHA CELLS and plays an important role in regulation of BLOOD GLUCOSE concentration, ketone metabolism, and several other biochemical and physiological processes.

D006152 Cyclic GMP Guanosine cyclic 3',5'-(hydrogen phosphate). A guanine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to the sugar moiety in both the 3'- and 5'-positions. It is a cellular regulatory agent and has been described as a second messenger. Its levels increase in response to a variety of hormones, including acetylcholine, insulin, and oxytocin and it has been found to activate specific protein kinases.
