The activity of in vitro glutathione S-transferase towards 1-chloro-2,4-dinitrobenzene was examined in liver, renal cortex, and small intestine (duodenum, jejunum, ileum) after the in vivo treatment of male Wistar rats with streptozotocin or alloxan. The studies were performed at 2, 10, 24, and 48 h and 7 and 15 days after streptozotocin treatment or 24 and 48 h after alloxan treatment. The results indicated that while the blood levels of insulin-glucose did not show variations, there were no alterations of the glutathione S-transferase activity in the tissues tested. On the other hand, when the treatments caused modifications on blood insulin-glucose levels, there were changes of glutathione S-transferase activity in all tissues (except in the ileum) in such a way that a direct relationship between plasma insulin levels and glutathione S-transferase activity could be demonstrated. These results were also confirmed through insulin administration to control and diabetic rats. The data demonstrate a possible regulation of glutathione S-transferase activity by blood insulin and (or) glucose levels in the tissues tested.

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).

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
