Selectivity of the insulin-like actions of vanadate on glucose and protein metabolism in skeletal muscle. 1985

A S Clark, and J M Fagan, and W E Mitch

To determine if vanadate has insulin-like actions in skeletal muscle, we measured its effects on glucose and protein metabolism in epitrochlearis muscles of rats. Compared with insulin, vanadate increased glucose uptake, glycogen synthesis and glycolysis to a lesser degree, but caused a greater stimulation of lactate and glucose oxidation. Unlike insulin, vanadate did not change either protein synthesis or degradation. These different metabolic responses could be related to the different pattern of insulin-receptor phosphorylation caused by insulin and vanadate.

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).
