Abstract/OtherAbstract:

The studies described in this paper were undertaken to characterize the circulating and hepatic insulin and glucagon receptor concentrations of control (C), diabetic (Db), and pinealectomized-diabetic (Pn + Db) rats. Compared with C rats, an increase in plasma glucose and glucagon levels and a reduction in circulating insulin concentrations in Db animals was observed; these differences were greater in Pn + Db rats. In liver membranes, insulin binding was lower in Db and in Pn + Db than in C rats, and glucagon binding was greater in Db and in Pn + Db than in C rats. The modifications in hormone binding did not reflect changes in the affinity constants. The time courses of hormone association and dissociation from liver membranes were similar in all three experimental groups. The degradation of both hormones and their receptors was similar in all three groups. These findings indicate that in either pinealectomized-diabetic or diabetic rats there were significant changes in the circulating and liver insulin and glucagon receptor concentrations and that the changes in the circulating levels of both pancreatic hormones were more pronounced in pinealectomized-diabetic animals. In addition, the absence in Db and in Pn + Db rats of the insulin and glucagon down-regulation of their own receptors could further modify metabolic activities in these animals. |
