Regulation of the multiple molecular forms of rat liver glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase by insulin and dietary restriction. 1985

R N Martins, and G B Stokes, and C L Masters

Insulin treatment of virgin female rats increased the hepatic activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase to levels 3.4 and 1.5 fold higher than controls. The increase in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity was attributed to increased activity of all three dimer species. Thus dimer bands, 1, 2 and 3 of insulin-treated animals were 5, 3 and 2-fold higher respectively than controls. The activity of glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase and 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase decreased with fasting to 55% and 72% respectively of controls. The decrease in glucose 6-phosphate dehydrogenase activity reflected a lower activity of dimer bands 2 and 3 only, which were 62% and 39% of control activity respectively after three days fasting. A shift towards band 1 was observed under both conditions of starvation as well as under conditions of insulin treatment.

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).
