    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung 111 Fälle (bioptisch erfaßtn=106, autoptisch erfaßtn=5) werden in drei Gruppen eingeteilt: Diffuse diabetische Glomerulosklerose (n=74), gemischt diffus-noduläre Glomerulosklerose (n=14) und noduläre diabetische Glomerulosklerose (n=23). Die klinischen Parameter, Angaben über Dauer des Diabetes und Dauer der Nierenerkrankung sowie über Therapieformen werden zu den einzelnen morphologischen Gruppen korreliert. Dabei ergibt sich unter anderem: Die noduläre Glomerulosklerose tritt besonders häufig bei Frauen auf, geht häufig mit einer Diabetes-Manifestation jenseits des 40. Lebensjahres einher, ist mit der längsten Diabetes-Dauer korreliert und weist einen häufig meist stark erhöhten Serumkreatinin-Spiegel auf. Die Proteinurie ist mit rund 90% häufigstes und erstes Symptom der diabetischen Glomeruloskerose. Eine Insulinbehandlung hat offenbar einen günstigen Einfluß auf die Proteinurie. Zusammenfassend muß jedoch betont werden, daß die Variabilität der klinischen Symptomatik sehr groß ist, so daß eine Diagnose allein auf der Basis klinischer Befunde nicht immer möglich ist.
    Notes: Summary One hundred and eleven cases of diabetic glomerulosclerosis (biopsiesn=106, autopsiesn=5) are divided into three groups: Diffuse diabetic glomerulosclerosis (n=74), mixed diffuse-nodular glomerulosclerosis (n=14) and nodular diabetic glomerulosclerosis (n=23). The clinical parameters, data concerning duration of diabetes and of renal disease, as well as types of therapy, were correlated with the different morphologic groups. The following results could be observed: nodular glomerulosclerosis very frequently occurs in women, often accompanied by a diabetes-manifestation beyond the fourth decade of life. This correlated with the longest duration of diabetes and frequently showed a greatly increased serum-creatinine level. Proteinuria of about 90% is the most frequent and first symptom of diabetic glomerulosclerosis. Therapy with insulin apparently shows an advantageous influence on proteinuria. In summary, however, the variability of clinical symptoms and signs should be emphasised, preventing in some cases a diagnosis being made on clinical findings alone.

    Description / Table of Contents: Zusammenfassung Anpassungen des Energiestoffwechsels wie sie im kontrahierenden Skelettmuskel auftreten, werden im Anschluß an die Phase der anaeroben Glycolyse über Änderungen des kapillaren Blutflusses vorgenommen, der Substrate und Sauerstoff für die Energiegewinnung heranträgt. Da zu Beginn der Leistung die Sauerstoffversorgung limitiert ist, scheint Glucose das geeignete Substrat, da sie sowohl anaerob zur Energiegewinnung benützt werden kann als auch pro Molekül Sauerstoff mehr Energie als Fettsäuren liefert. Neben der Glucose werden auch Aminosäuren für eine beschleunigte Proteosynthese und Muskelhypertrophie benötigt. Aus diesem Grunde muß die Erweiterung des kapillaren Gefäßnetzes von einer Modulation der Wirkung von Insulin begleitet sein, das häufig z.B. nach einem Übernachtfasten nur in niedrigen Konzentrationen vorliegt. Dieses Ziel wird auf dreierlei Weise erreicht: 1. Durch Erweiterung des kapillaren Gefäßnetzes, was zu einer verbesserten Versorgung mit Insulin und zu einem größeren Angebot an Insulinrezeptoren führt, 2. durch einen beschleunigten Transport von Insulin durch die kapillaren Gefäßwände, so daß mehr Insulin im interstitiellen Raum und an den Plasmamembranen des Gewebes vorhanden ist. 3. durch einen Effekt auf molekularer Ebene am „Insulin-Rezeptor-Messenger“-Mechanismus. Diese Adaptationen sind Teile eines selbstregulatorischen Prozesses, der durch die Freisetzung von Metaboliten aus dem arbeitenden Muskel in Gang gesetzt wird. Aus neueren Studien gibt es zunehmend Hinweise, daß Kinine und Prostaglandine beteiligt sind. Die ersteren werden bei Bedarf aus ihrem Präkursorprotein Kininogen proteolytisch freigesetzt und tragen als Gewebshormone das Signal des arbeitenden Muskelgewebes über den interstitiellen Raum zur glatten Gefäßmuskelzelle der Kapillaren. Daraufhin werden Prostaglandine aus Plasmamembranlipiden freigesetzt, die als Zellmediatoren zusammen mit den Kininen die verschiedenen Adaptationsmechanismen hervorrufen. Verstärkersysteme dieser Art dürfen nicht nur im Muskel, sondern auch in anderen Geweben eine Rolle spielen, in denen eine adäquate Kinin- und Prostaglandin-Freisetzung unter den verschiedensten klinischen Bedingungen, z.B. im Schock, beim Herzinfarkt, bei Wundheilung etc. für die adäquate Bereitstellung von Sauerstoff, energiereichen Substraten und Aminosäuren als Bausteinen sorgt.
    Notes: Summary Adaptations of energy metabolism, as they occur during contractions of skeletal muscle besides by anaerobic glycolysis are achieved via changes in capillary blood flow providing substrates and oxygen for combustion. Since, initially, oxygen supply is restricted in the working muscle, glucose would seem to be the adequate fuel as it may be used anaerobically and yields more energy per mole of oxygen than fatty acids under such circumstances. Besides glucose, amino acids are also required for accelerated proteosynthesis according to the work load. Therefore, an enlargement of the capillary net has to be accompanied by an amplification of the action of insulin, which is often present in only small amounts, e.g., after an overnight fast. This aim is met in three ways: (1) enlargement of the capillary net with accelerated blood flow increasing the supply of insulin and the number of receptor sites for insulin binding; (2) accelerated transport of insulin through the capillary wall, providing more insulin in the interstitial space and at the plasma membranes; (3) a molecular mechanism directly involving the insulin-receptor-messenger complex, localized at the plasma membrane of the working muscle cell. These mechanisms resemble a self-regulatory process, set in motion by the release of metabolites from the working tissue. From recent studies there is accumulating evidence that kinins liberated from their precursors are involved as tissue hormones by carrying the signal across the interstitial space to the smooth muscle cells of the capillary vessels. Concomitantly, prostaglandins are released intracellulary to bring about, in cooperation with kinins, the various adaptive mechanisms. Amplifying systems of this kind may play a role not only in muscle but also in other tissues where adequate kinin or prostaglandin release would appear beneficial under several clinical conditions such as shock, coronary infarction, would healing, etc.

    Notes: Summary The regenerative activity of the liver parenchyma after two-thirds hepatectomy was examined in normal rats and rats with a fresh or 7-day-old portocaval shunt. The parameter for regeneration was the incorporation of3H-thymidine into DNA. The exogenous supply of insulin and glucagon—both potential stimulators of regeneration—by permanent infusion into the portal vein, or by several injections of the liposome-encapsulated hormones, did not significantly stimulate the rate of regeneration normally controlled by endogenous pancreatic hormones.

    Notes: Summary The effect of histamine H2-receptor stimulation via the infusion of impromidine was assessed with regard to postprandial plasma insulin, pancreatic polypeptide (PP), somatostatin, and gastrin levels. The effect of impromidine was assessed in the postprandial state during a liver extract/sucrose test meal which had a buffer capacity to maintain the intragastric pH at a constant level for the time impromidine was infused. Postprandial plasma insulin and gastrin levels were not changed by impromidine (10µg/kg·h−1). Plasma somatostatin levels rose significantly, whereas the postprandial increase of plasma PP levels was attenuated. The effects on somatostatin and PP were antagonized by the infusion of cimetidine, a specific histamine H2-receptor blocker. In conclusion the present data demonstrate that in the postprandial state activation of H2-receptors stimulates somatostatin and inhibits PP release while insulin and gastrin release are not affected.

    Notes: Summary Density gradient centrifugation techniques, using iso-osmotic colloidal silica suspensions (Percoll), were developed for the isolation of insulin secretory granules from a transplantable rat islet cell tumour. These procedures were readily completed within 7 h and from each animal yielded approximately 1 mg of granule protein. The isolated granules were essentially free of other subcellular organelles as evaluated by their contents of marker proteins, electron microscopy and by electrophoretic analyses. Their susceptibilities to lysis at low osmotic strength, at pH values above 7 or in media containing sodium ions were similar to those of granules partially purified from islets. Insulin comprised 50–60% of the total granule protein when determined by immunoassay or by densitometry of electrophoretic profiles. The proinsulin content was marginally higher than that of islets, as was the ratio of insulins I to II. Electrophoretic analyses revealed that the secretory granules contained 150 or more proteins besides insulin-related peptides. The majority of these had acidic isoelectric points and were located both within the granule interior and its enveloping membrane.

    Notes: Summary The extensive association of mammalian insulins in solution and the aggregation of insulin receptors in cell membranes are well documented. The hypothesis advanced here is that a direct connection exists between these observations. It is postulated that, after binding to its receptor, an insulin monomer can interact with another similarly bonded hormone-receptor complex through those groups on the insulin monomer faces utilized for dimer-dimer contacts in the crystal and in solution. Regarded thus, the insulin molecules are effectively bivalent as required for the formation of cross-links between receptors, with the accompanying enhancement of biological activity. A number of properties of native insulins from different animals, and of modified insulins, are considered in the light of this suggestion. It is shown to have considerable power in reconciling a diversity of such observations and to provide a plausible model for the experimentally observed receptor clustering phenomenon.

    Notes: Summary Insulin was absorbed faster from the abdomen than from the thigh under resting conditions and during exercise. Exercise enhanced the rate of insulin absorption marginally. The fall of blood glucose during rest and exercise was not significantly different after insulin injection into either site. The faster absorption of insulin from the abdomen during rest and exercise was reflected in a sharper rise of serum growth hormone levels and urinary adrenaline excretion. Therefore exercise should not be taken immediately after injection of a large dose of soluble insulin, particularly into the abdomen.

    Notes: Summary In a single blind randomised cross-over study, 40 patients were changed from ordinary bovine to highly purified porcine insulins for a period of 6 months. Half were later rechallenged with bovine insulin. Sequential determinations of IgG insulin binding capacity for bovine insulin were correlated with insulin dose and diabetic control. After changing to highly purified insulins the following correlations were observed between percentage change in insulin dose and change in insulin binding capacity: at 2 months r = 0.35 (p 〈 0.05), at 4 months r = 0.38 (p 〈 0.02) and at 6 months r=0.37 (p 〈 0.02). When the patients who showed substantial changes in HbA1 were removed from the analysis, the remaining 29 demonstrated a clearer relationship between these two variables (r = 0.56, p 〈 0.01). Removal of patients with a low initial insulin binding capacity left 18 patients with stable diabetes, and changes in insulin binding capacity and insulin dose showed an even closer correlation for this group (r = 0.77, p 〈 0.001). A similar degree of positive correlation was observed after rechallenge with bovine insulin. We conclude that the level of circulating insulin antibody affects the dose of insulin required to maintain stable diabetic control.

    Notes: Summary Using the photoreactive, biologically active insulin analogue, B2-(2 nitro, 4-azidophenylacetyl)des-PheB1 insulin, which can be covalently bound to receptor molecules upon photolysis, the insulin receptor has been studied in three different types of cells or tissues: isolated rat hepatocytes, intact murine soleus muscle and cultured human lymphocytes. When compared with native insulin, this analogue displayed a slightly reduced binding affinity. Accordingly, the biological potency of the photoreactive analogue was decreased by approximately 30% compared with native insulin when tested for its ability to stimulate amino acid transport in hepatocytes, and deoxyglucose uptake in soleus muscles. It was as effective as insulin, however, at maximally stimulating concentrations and therefore is a full insulin agonist. This photoprobe was used to specifically label the insulin receptor in the three tissues: after ultra-violet irradiation, sodium dodecyl sulphatepolyacrylamide gel analysis of extracts under reducing conditions revealed that most of the radioactivity was associated with a 130,000 dalton band. In isolated hepatocytes, two bands at 125,000 and 23,000 daltons were also specifically labelled. In three different cell types from three different animal species, the 130,000 dalton band appeared to be the major subunit of the insulin receptor.

    Notes: Summary The effect on glucose metabolism of altering the site of the venous drainage of an isograft of isolated adult islets implanted beneath the renal capsule, from the systemic circulation to the portal circulation was determined in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Reversal of diabetes was accomplished by the transplantation of 1000–1200 isolated islets beneath the left kidney capsule. The rate of fall of the glucose concentration (as expressed by the K value) was found to be significantly decreased in transplanted animals (1.7 ± 0.5%/min; mean ± SD) compared with normal animals (2.4 ± 0.5%/min). Draining the left renal vein into the portal circulation restored the K value to that of normal animals (2.5 ± 0.4%). However the fasting glucose concentration was significantly higher and the basal insulin levels lower in both normal and transplanted rats with a renoportal shunt.

    Notes: Conclusion It is clear that calcium ions are of considerable importance as a second messenger in insulin secretion. There is increasing evidence that calmodulin, a ubiquitous intracellular regulatory protein that mediates calcium-dependent processes, has a fundamental role in stimulus-secretion coupling. Calmodulin is present in the B cell and the secretion of insulin is inhibited by phenothiazines which bind to and inhibit the action of calmodulin. The evidence strongly suggests that phenothiazines influence insulin secretion by their effect on calmodulin which probably mediates calcium-dependent insulin release. It seems likely that calmodulin acts at several points in stimulus-secretion coupling, influencing cyclic nucleotide metabolism, protein phosphorylation and exocytosis. The discovery of calmodulin and the increasing clarification of its roles in cellular metabolism represent major steps towards our understanding of the mechanisms which influence the secretion of insulin.

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Summary To investigate the mechanism of insulin degradation in normal subjects, a kinetic model of insulin disappearance was constructed: insulin was assumed to be extracted from plasma by two independent processes, one saturable and one non-saturable. On the basis of these assumptions, a linear (non-proportional) relationship between steady-state plasma insulin concentration and steady-state plasma disappearance rate was predicted over the concentration range studied. Constant infusion experiments were performed on eight healthy normal subjects, normoglycaemia and fasting plasma C-peptide concentrations being maintained during the experiments. Agreement was found between the predictions of the model and the experimental results, and it is concluded that insulin degradation in normal subjects may be described in terms of two processes: one that is saturated at physiological plasma insulin concentrations and one that is apparently non-saturable over a wide concentration range.

    Notes: Abstract The metabolic effects of TPN were studied in a selected group of trauma patients. Nineteen patients were randomly divided into two groups: the first was treated with glucose and insulin, the second with glucose, insulin and amino acids. Each patient in both groups received TPN isocaloric with respect to daily energy output and the treatment lasted five days. Each group was further divided into two subsets (severe or moderate catabolism) according to fasting energy output with respect to the expected energy expenditure. During the acute flow phase, both in moderate as well as in severe catabolism, glucose and insulin were effective for protein sparing; the maximum protein sparing effect was reached when giving a caloric intake equal to 130% of daily energy output. Glucose, insulin and amino acids were effective in replacement of nitrogen losses. In moderately catabolic patients nitrogen balance was significantly better than in severely catabolic patients. This study shows that early and short-term TPN is effective in controlling the flow phase of trauma. Glucose and insulin appear to be the determinants of the protein sparing effect when given in amounts equal to those needed; amino acids provided protein replacement when given in amounts equal to about 20% of energy output. Energy supply higher than 120–130% of daily energy output does not increase protein sparing and protein replacement, the only effect being a further increase in metabolism, which is possibly dangerous in critically ill patients.

    Notes: Abstract This is a brief review of the observed hormonal alterations following trauma and sepsis. The major changes noted in the metabolic status of the stressed patient have been characterized by deranged carbohydrate metabolism, altered metabolic rate as measured by oxygen consumption and increased ureagenesis. Each of these phenomena are regulated to a large extent by the specific hormonal profile of the patient. Failure of insulin and growth hormone production have been associated with glucose intolerance, excessive urinary nitrogen loss and a fatal outcome. Glucagon, cortisol and catecholamines exhibit sustained elevation and have been associated with increased metabolic rate and excessive ureagenesis. These changes are usually self limited following trauma but will persist if the patient enters a septic phase. The use of specific nutritional support, namely hypertonic glucose versus a balanced fat emulsion system in the face of sepsis is considered.

    Notes: Summary The effect of adenosine-5′-N-ethylcarboxamide, (NECA), a long-lasting adenosine derivative with pronounced vasoactivity was investigated on glucagon and insulin release from the in situ isolated blood perfused pancreas in the anesthetized dog: NECA (10−9 to 10−5 mol/l) led to a dose-dependent glucagon release. Insulin release was inhibited by NECA at low concentrations, but significantly increased at higher concentrations of the adenosine analogue. Similar effects were observed with infusion of adenosine at 10−7 and 10−6 mol/l. Aminophylline (10−4 mol/l) produced a 10-fold attenuation of the actions of NECA. The preponderance of glucagon release at low concentrations of NECA and adenosine in contrast to that of insulin release at high concentrations may represent a local pancreatic regulatory mechanism of adenosine in glucose homeostasis.

    Notes: Summary The effect of β-adrenoceptor antagonists on the intravenous glucose tolerance test was investigated in conscious dogs. dl-Celiprolol (cardioselective with ISA=intrinsic sympathomimetic activity) 200 and 1000 μg/kg i.v., dl-metoprolol (cardio-selective without ISA) 200 and 1000 μg/kg i.v., dl-pindolol (non-selective with ISA) 5 and 25 μg i.v. and l-bupranolol (non-selective without ISA) 10 and 50 μg/kg i.v. were used in the study. The influence of β-adrenoceptor antagonists on the plasma glucose and immunoreactive insulin following the intravenous glucose tolerance test were evaluated by calculating the respective areas under the plasma curve. The present investigtion clearly demonstrates the marked difference between the various β-adrenoceptor antagonists on heart rate and, especially on metabolic parameters. dl-Metoprolol, a β-adrenoceptor antagonist with cardioselectivity and without ISA can be assumed not to alter plasma insulin level and glucose assimilation. l-Bupranolol, a non-selective β-adrenoceptor antagonist without ISA reduces plasma insulin level and probably enhances peripheral glucose uptake, resulting in an “unchanged” glucose tolerance. dl-Celiprolol or dl-pindolol, β-adrenoceptor antagonists with ISA, but cardioselective or non-selective enhance both, basal insulin level and insulin level after glucose stimulation but must be assumed to decrease peripheral glucose uptake since here too glucose tolerance was unchanged.

Peritubular uptake of pig-insulin accounted for 13%, of rat-insulin for 31% of the total metabolic clearance. 4. The nonfiltering kidney does not remove insulin from the peritubular circulation. 5. Metabolic clearance rates of pig- and rat-insulin are directly related to GFR. 6. The filtration process seems to be necessary for the uptake of insulin at the peritubular site.

    Notes: Abstract The biochemical and endocrine responses of 13 patients with hepatic glycogen storage disease (HGSD) (type I-six patients, type Ib-two, type III-three, type IX-two patients) to an oral glucose load have been investigated. Longitudinal growth data was available in all patients. The height velocity standard deviation score (HVSDS) was positively correlated with the plasma somatomedin and inversely correlated with the glucose-insulin ratio, plasma cortisol and plasma growth hormone concentrations. There was no correlation between plasma glucagon and HVSDS. Free fatty acid and lactate concentrations were highest in the older untreated patients who were growing slowly. In four patients improvement in the HVSDS with treatment was accompanied by a rise in plasma somatomedin and a fall in growth hormone and cortisol. In two patients the glucose-insulin ratio decreased. Growth retardation in HGSD can be explained as part of the adaptation to the inability to maintain normal glucose homeostasis.

    Notes: Summary Treatment with insulin, triiodothyronine or serotonin resulted in increases of root length, root weight, coleoptile weight and mitotic index of germlings from barley seeds at concentration of 10−8 M. All three hormones were superior in activity to the natural and synthetic plant hormones (3-indoleacetic acid, naphthylacetic acid, trichlorophenoxyacetic acid) tested for comparison. The experimental observations suggest that plant cells also have receptors to which hormones of vertebrates can bind, and that plants cells also respond to such hormones.

    Notes: Summary A modified rat hindlimb perfusion technique, aimed at studying factors of importance for glucose uptake at rest and during exercise, is presented. The modifications involved cannulation of the femoral artery and femoral vein in the groin, instead of the aorta and caval vein. This modification gives a number of advantages, among others the possibility of using the contralateral leg as control, perfused or nonperfused. The muscle tissue was well preserved after 40 min of perfusion, as judged from normal levels of muscle metabolites. The glucose uptake at rest was dependent on glucose delivery (glucose concentration times blood flow) as well as insulin concentration. During exercise, induced by sciatic nerve stimulation, glucose uptake, lactate production and oxygen uptake increased. The glucose uptake during exercise was closely related to the metabolic state of the muscle tissue. Thus, the glucose uptake was negatively correlated with the ATP/ADP ratio and the creatine phosphate level, and positively correlated to the lactate level in both soleus and gastrocnemius muscle. The results suggest that the level of the glucose uptake in exercising muscles is determined by the energy state of the muscle tissue.
