Streptozotocin-induced diabetes of 7 weeks duration increased male Sprague-Dawley rat kidney ornithine decarboxylase activity by 4.8-fold but did not affect the liver enzyme. Hydrazine treatment of 4 hr duration stimulated equally kidney ornithine decarboxylase activities of nondiabetic and diabetic rats. Hydrazine treatment increased liver ornithine decarboxylase activity in the nondiabetic rat but did not increase it in the diabetic rat. Since hydrazine stimulates ornithine decarboxylase activity prior to polyamine and protein syntheses, we speculate that the lack of hydrazine stimulation of ornithine decarboxylase in the diabetic liver may be related in part to the unrestrained gluconeogenesis and depressed Kreb's cycle activity: the latter being required for protein synthesis.
