Acetaminophen-induced alterations in blood glucose and blood insulin levels in mice. 1984

J A Hinson, and H Han-Hsu, and J B Mays, and S J Holt, and P McLean, and B Ketterer

Three hours following administration of a toxic dose of the analgesic acetaminophen (500 mg/kg) to mice, blood glucose levels increased to 225 per cent. By six hours blood glucose levels decreased to approximately control values and by 24 hours glucose levels were 45 percent saline-treated control values. Immunoprecipitable blood insulin levels increased dramatically following acetaminophen treatment and were 300 per cent at 3 hours, 1100 per cent at 8 hours and 800 per cent at 24 hours. Saline treatment did not appreciably alter blood insulin levels. These observations indicate that acetaminophen may selectively alter pancreatic beta cells.

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).

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.

D008810 Mice, Inbred C57BL One of the first INBRED MOUSE STRAINS to be sequenced. This strain is commonly used as genetic background for transgenic mouse models. Refractory to many tumors, this strain is also preferred model for studying role of genetic variations in development of diseases.

D000082 Acetaminophen Analgesic antipyretic derivative of acetanilide. It has weak anti-inflammatory properties and is used as a common analgesic, but may cause liver, blood cell, and kidney damage.
