It was shown that hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is a possible intracellular second messenger in specific insulin action. Because its concentration in the cell depends on the activity of both antioxidant enzymes and monoamine oxidase (MAO), we studied the influence of different insulin doses (0.4 and 4.0 IU/kg body mass, i.p., daily injected over 3 days) on the activity of MAO, types A and B, copper zinc superoxide dismutase (CuZnSOD), manganese superoxide dismutase (MnSOD), and catalase in the rat brainstem. Chronic insulin treatment significantly increased Vmax of MAO-A and B activities (P < 0.05, P < 0.025, respectively) independent of the dose applied. CuZnSOD activity was also increased (P < 0.025), but only when higher dose of hormone was injected. However, insulin had the opposite effect on MnSOD and catalase causing a decrease in their activities (P < 0.005). The observed changes in the activities of the enzymes studied are possible compensations that potentially maintain an optimal H2O2 level in the brainstem, which might be important for insulin action.

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).

D008995 Monoamine Oxidase An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of naturally occurring monoamines. It is a flavin-containing enzyme that is localized in mitochondrial membranes, whether in nerve terminals, the liver, or other organs. Monoamine oxidase is important in regulating the metabolic degradation of catecholamines and serotonin in neural or target tissues. Hepatic monoamine oxidase has a crucial defensive role in inactivating circulating monoamines or those, such as tyramine, that originate in the gut and are absorbed into the portal circulation.
