Effect of insulin and glucose on the activity of insulin-degrading enzymes in rat liver.

The degradation of insulin by insulin protease and glutathion-insulin transhydrogenase (glutathioneproteindisulphide oxidoreductase--EC 1.8.4.2, GIT) was measured in rat liver either after replacing food and water by 15% glucose solution, or after daily insulin administration 8 U daily for 3 days or after fasting. The breakdown of radioiodinated insulin was followed by measuring the increase of TCA soluble radioactivity during incubation of cell fractions with 125I insulin at 37 degrees C. The highest GIT activity was observed in liver microsomes of rats after glucose feeding and after insulin administration, whereas enzyme activity of fasted animals did not essentially differ from corresponding values of normally fed controls. The insulin protease in cytosol of liver cells remained unchanged after these procedures. The important role of GIT in insulin degradation seems to be conclusively demonstrated.

The increase of the active form of hepatic glycogen phosphorylase in stressed rats.

In rats exposed to 400 revolutions (during 6 min and 40 sec) in rotating Noble-Collip drums essentially the same increase of the active form of hepatic glycogen phosphorylase as in animals studied 6 min and 40 sec after epinephrine (50 microgram/kg) or glucagon (100 microgram/kg), both i.v., was observed. However, in rats injured daily for 6 days, on day 7 this enzyme response was substantially blunted.

Alpha-adrenergic regulation of growth hormone release after electroconvulsive therapy in man.

When electroshcok therapy was administered to male psychiatric patients without anticonvulsive premedication, serum growth hormone (GH) increased; the increase was not prevented by an infusion of 20% glucose (5 ml per min) 20 min prior to electroshock. Therefore, the GH rise is not caused by muscle exercise during convulsions. Infusing 30 mg of phentolamine 40 min prior to electroshcok inhibited the GH response. Phentolamine's effect shows that the stress-induced GH release that follows electroconvulsive therapy is mediated by alpha-adrenergic neurons.

Effect of electroconvulsive therapy without anticonvulsive premedication on serum growth hormone in man.

Serum concentrations of human growth hormone (HGH) were measured in psychiatric patients during the first, third and sixth electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) without anticonvulsive premedication. Serum HGH increased 30 min after the application of current and no differences were found between responses to 1st, 3rd, or 6th ECT. Maximal increase of serum glucose was seen after the first ECT and gradual decreases after the 3rd and 6th ECT were observed

Adrenal hormones and increase of liver tyrosine aminotransferase and tryptophan pyrrolase activity after immobilization in rats.

In adrenomedullectomized rats the postimmobilization increase of liver tyrosine aminotransferase and tryptophan pyrrolase activity was similar as in intact animals, wherease in adrenalectomized rats this response was completely absent. In intact animals a positive correlation between the magnitude of the response of both enzymes and the duration of immobilization and/or the extent of plasma corticosterone increase was observedmit is concluded that the postimmobilization hyperactivity of both enzymes arises exclusively as a consequence of hypercorticosteronaemia, catecholamines and other hormones being without any influence on this response.
