The effect of indomethacin on serum glucose, insulin, thyroid hormones and corticosterone and on liver glycogen in 9 Gy whole body gamma irradiated rats was studied. In the first experimental setting indomethacin was administered subcutaneously in the dose of 4 mg/kg body weight 24 hours before irradiation and sham irradiation, and the analyses were done 48 hours after irradiation. In the second setting indomethacin was administered by the same route immediately, 24, 48, and 72 hours after exposure and sham exposure, the analyses were done 120 hours after irradiation. Control groups were treated with phosphate buffer. Indomethacin inhibited partially the radiation-induced increase in serum glucose and corticosterone in both settings and the increase in liver glycogen in the first one. Indomethacin administration had no effect on serum insulin levels, but it decreased serum thyroxine concentration in irradiated and non-irradiated rats in the second setting. The administration of indomethacin in irradiated animals is accompanied by various metabolic alterations.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007213 Indomethacin A non-steroidal anti-inflammatory agent (NSAID) that inhibits CYCLOOXYGENASE, which is necessary for the formation of PROSTAGLANDINS and other AUTACOIDS. It also inhibits the motility of POLYMORPHONUCLEAR LEUKOCYTES. Amuno,Indocid,Indocin,Indomet 140,Indometacin,Indomethacin Hydrochloride,Metindol,Osmosin
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).

D003345 Corticosterone An adrenocortical steroid that has modest but significant activities as a mineralocorticoid and a glucocorticoid. (From Goodman and Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 8th ed, p1437)
D005720 Gamma Rays Penetrating, high-energy electromagnetic radiation emitted from atomic nuclei during NUCLEAR DECAY. The range of wavelengths of emitted radiation is between 0.1 - 100 pm which overlaps the shorter, more energetic hard X-RAYS wavelengths. The distinction between gamma rays and X-rays is based on their radiation source.
