Insulinlike effects of vanadate on hepatic glycogen metabolism in nondiabetic and streptozocin-induced diabetic rats

Diabetes

Abstract

The effect of oral administration of sodium orthovanadate for 5 wk on hepatic glycogen metabolism was studied in control and streptozocin-induced diabetic rats. Diabetes caused hyperglycemia (5-fold increase), hypoinsulinemia (85% decrease), and hyperglucagonemia (4-fold increase). There were also marked decreases in liver glycogen and activities of glycogen-metabolizing enzymes in liver. Although vanadate administration in control animals showed no significant effect on the various parameters measured except for a 70% decrease in plasma insulin, this treatment in diabetic rats restored these parameters to near control values. In diabetic rats, glycogen synthase a and the activity ratio (activity of glycogen synthase a divided by activity of total glycogen synthase) decreased to 30% of control levels and were restored to approximately 70-80% of control values after vanadate administration. A similar pattern was observed for the activity of synthase phosphatase. The activities of glycogenolytic enzymes, i.e., phosphorylase (activity of phosphorylase a and activity of total phosphorylase), phosphorylase kinase, and protein kinase (in presence or absence of cAMP), were significantly decreased by 40-70% in diabetic rats. These enzy...Continue Reading
