Experiments were carried out in the genetically hypertensive obese rats of Koletsky type (SHR/N-cp obese), in their lean siblings (SHR/N-cp lean) and in the rats of Han-Wistar strain. The effect of long lasting terguride treatment was monitored when the animal represents a control for itself. Blood was sampled to heparinized capillaries from retrobulbar plexus in the same animal before and after the terguride treatment. Long lasting terguride treatment shows decrease in "area under the glucose tolerance curve" in all groups of animals, increase in glycaemia in normotensive males, increase in insulinemia in normotensive rats of both sexes and in SHR/N-cp lean males and decrease of insulinemia in SHR/N-cp obese males, increase of triglyceridemia in normotensive rats of both sexes and in SHR/N-cp lean males, and decrease of triglyceridemia in SHR/N-cp lean females and SHR/N-cp obese of both sexes, increase in cholesterolemia in normotensive and SHR/N-cp lean males, decrease in cholesterolemia in normotensive, SHR/N-cp lean and obese females. Thus ambivalent effect of terguride treatment is more expressive in glucose tolerance and in plasma triglycerides. Ambivalent effect of long lasting terguride treatment is profoundly expressed in correlation between pre-treatment state of individual parameters and the effect of treatment expressed in percentage changes in post-treatment state. In all cases statistically significant correlation coefficients show negative mark. Thus it is apparent that terguride increases monitored parameter when this parameter is low before treatment, and vice versa. When it is considered "area under the glucose tolerance curve", significance was attained in all groups, when judging basal glycaemia, significance was attained in normotensive and SHR/N-cp lean rats of both sexes, taking into account insulinemia, significance was attained in normotensive and SHR/N-cp obese rats of both sexes, when analysing plasma triglycerides, significance was attained in normotensive rats of both sexes and in SHR/n-cp lean females and obese males, when we consider total plasma cholesterol, significance was attained in normotensive rats of both sexes and in SHR/N-cp lean males. From the clinical point of view it must be underlined that terguride is potent to increase insulinemia. Thus there is open a possibility of the other clinical indication of the mentioned drug.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
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).

D008055 Lipids A generic term for fats and lipoids, the alcohol-ether-soluble constituents of protoplasm, which are insoluble in water. They comprise the fats, fatty oils, essential oils, waxes, phospholipids, glycolipids, sulfolipids, aminolipids, chromolipids (lipochromes), and fatty acids. (Grant & Hackh's Chemical Dictionary, 5th ed) Lipid
D008090 Lisuride An ergot derivative that acts as an agonist at dopamine D2 receptors (DOPAMINE AGONISTS). It may also act as an antagonist at dopamine D1 receptors, and as an agonist at some serotonin receptors (SEROTONIN RECEPTOR AGONISTS).

D008297 Male Males
D009765 Obesity A status with BODY WEIGHT that is grossly above the recommended standards, usually due to accumulation of excess FATS in the body. The standards may vary with age, sex, genetic or cultural background. In the BODY MASS INDEX, a BMI greater than 30.0 kg/m2 is considered obese, and a BMI greater than 40.0 kg/m2 is considered morbidly obese (MORBID OBESITY).
