Four lactating Holstein cows were subjected to a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp to evaluate the effects of insulin on circulating concentrations of insulin-like growth factors (IGF) and their binding proteins (IGFBP). Baseline blood samples were taken every 4 h for 2 days. For the 4-day clamp, insulin was infused (1 microgram.kg body wt-1.h-1) into the jugular vein and exogenous glucose was infused to maintain euglycemia. Circulating insulin was increased approximately fivefold, while glucose was maintained within 10% of baseline concentrations by infusion of 0.15 g.kg body wt-1.h-1 glucose. Hyperinsulinemia-euglycemia approximately doubled IGF-I (145 vs. 286 ng/ml, SE = 20) while decreasing circulating IGF-II (285 vs. 180 ng/ml, SE = 32). Densitometry of Western blots demonstrated no change in IGFBP-3 or a 30,000 relative molecular weight (M(r)) band during the clamp. However, IGFBP-2 decreased 73% and a 26,000 M(r) band decreased 58% by the end of the clamp. Therefore, insulin, directly or via secondary changes, increased circulating concentrations of IGF-I while decreasing concentrations of IGF-II, IGFBP-2, and a 26,000 M(r) IGFBP in lactating cows.

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).

D007774 Lactation The processes of milk secretion by the maternal MAMMARY GLANDS after PARTURITION. The proliferation of the mammary glandular tissue, milk synthesis, and milk expulsion or let down are regulated by the interactions of several hormones including ESTRADIOL; PROGESTERONE; PROLACTIN; and OXYTOCIN.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
