Streptozotocin-treated rats were diabetic, as assessed by blood glucose and plasma insulin values, while vanadate treatment restored blood glucose values to normal. Immunoblot analysis using a monoclonal antibody to the insulin-responsive glucose transporter demonstrated a 70% decline in transporter expression in skeletal muscle of diabetic rats. Subsequent treatment of diabetic animals with vanadate resulted in renewed expression of the transporter to 87% of control levels. Northern blot analysis of total skeletal muscle RNA from diabetic animals revealed a 55% decline in the steady state level of muscle glucose transporter mRNA, while vanadate treatment led to a 187% increase in transporter mRNA over normal levels. These results support the conclusion that vanadate acts to relieve diabetic hyperglycemia by inducing expression of the insulin-responsive glucose transporter at the pretranslational level.

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).

D007332 Insulin Infusion Systems Portable or implantable devices for infusion of insulin. Includes open-loop systems which may be patient-operated or controlled by a pre-set program and are designed for constant delivery of small quantities of insulin, increased during food ingestion, and closed-loop systems which deliver quantities of insulin automatically based on an electronic glucose sensor.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.
