Spontaneous diabetes in BB rats: evidence for insulin dependent liver microsomal delta 6 and delta 5 desaturase activities. 1990

We studied linoleic acid delta 5 and dihomo-gamma-linolenic acid delta 5 desaturations, and fatty acid composition, of liver microsomes in the insulin-dependent spontaneously diabetic adult female BB rat. These desaturations were defective along the normo- and hyper-glycemic period and restored during the hypoglycemic period which followed the insulin injection to the diabetic rats. The fatty acid composition of BB rats microsomes was not consistent with the desaturase activities at the different periods of glycemia, probably because other factors than desaturation impairments were involved in the evolution of fatty acid composition.

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).
