    Notes: Summary Twenty diabetic patients, whose hyperglycaemia had been shown to fail to respond to at least one month's dietary treatment, completed a crossover study in order to: 1) compare the effectiveness of two sulphonylureas, chlorpropamide and glibenclamide, and 2) study the effects of sulphonylureas on insulin secretion and on biochemical indices of glucose intolerance. Fasting blood glucose fell on active treatment from 10.7±0.6 (mean ± SEM) to 6.6±0.7 mmol/l and rose again to 10.6±0.7 after 4 months placebo. A second period of 4 months sulphonylurea therapy resulted in a comparable fall in blood glucose (to 6.9±0.7 mmol/l) and a similar relapse was seen after the second placebo period (to 10.5±0.9 mmol/l). Glucose tolerance and associated insulin secretion improved markedly on active treatment, with ketone bodies, non-esterified fatty acids, and glycerol falling to within the reference range. Sulphonylurea therapy was associated with a small but significant increase in the fasting insulin level. These effects were nearly all reversed 4 months after withdrawal of the sulphonylureas. No marked changes were found in growth hormone, lactate, pyruvate, lactate/pyruvate ratio or fasting cholesterol, triglycerides and lipoproteins. On a weight basis, glibenclamide was 26 times more potent than chlorpropamide and, in the doses used in this study, their biochemical effects were indistinguishable. The effects of these two sulphonylureas seem most likely to be mediated by a direct stimulation of insulin secretion by the B-cell.

    Notes: Summary Insulin analogues with relatively greater effect on hepatic glucose production than peripheral glucose disposal could offer a more physiological approach to the treatment of diabetes mellitus. The fact that proinsulin exhibits this property to a minor degree may suggest that analogues with increased molecular size may be less able than insulin to obtain access to peripheral receptor sites. Covalent insulin dimers have previously been shown to possess lower hypoglycaemic potencies than predicted by their in vivo receptor binding affinities. Reduced rates of diffusion to peripheral target tissues might be an explanation for the lower in vivo potency compared to insulin. To test the relative hepatic and peripheral effects of covalent insulin dimers, glucose clamp procedures with D-[3-3H]glucose tracer infusions were used in anaesthetised greyhounds to establish dose-response curves for rates of hepatic glucose production and glucose disposal with insulin, NαB1, NαB′ 1,-suberoyl-insulin dimer, and NɛB29, NɛB′ 29,-suberoyl-insulin dimer. With NαB1, NαB′ 1,-suberoyl-insulin dimer molar potencies relative to insulin were 68 %, (34–133) (mean and 95 % fiducial limits), for inhibition of hepatic glucose production and 14.7 %, (10.3–20.9) for glucose disposal. With NɛB29,NɛB′ 29,-suberoyl-insulin dimer potencies were 75 %, (31–184) and 2.5 %, (1.5–4.3), for inhibition of hepatic glucose production and for glucose disposal, respectively. The demonstration that both dimers exhibit a significantly greater effect on glucose production than on glucose disposal supports the suggestion that analogues with increased molecular size may exhibit reduced ability to gain access to peripheral target cells.
