الوصف: We have previously shown that chronic insulin treatment by the intraperitoneal route normalizes the elevated glucose production (GP) in streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats, while insulin delivered by the subcutaneous route only partially normalizes GP. To investigate the biochemical mechanism of the effect of chronic insulin delivery by either route on hepatic glucose metabolism, we measured the hepatic activity of glucose 6-phosphatase (G6Pase) and glucokinase (GK). Four groups of rats were used: (1) nondiabetic rats (N, n = 7), (2) untreated STZ diabetic rats (D, n = 8), (3) diabetic rats treated intraperitoneally (IP, n = 6), or (4) subcutaneously (SC, n = 8) (both 3 U of insulin/d). Glucose levels, higher in D, were normalized by insulin treatment regardless of route. Peripheral insulin levels were lowest in D and highest in SC as expected (N, 162 ± 18 pmol/L; D, 66 ± 12; IP, 360 ± 96; SC, 798 ± 198). STZ diabetes resulted in a 10-fold decrease in GK (P < .001), and a 2-fold increase in G6Pase activity (P < .01). Both intraperitoneal and subcutaneous treatments normalized G6Pase activity. In contrast, with subcutaneous but not intraperitoneal treatment, GK activity was still 35% less than normal (SC v N, P < .05). Glucose 6-phosphate (G6P) levels did not differ among the groups. In summary: (1) the increase in GP in D reflected increased activity of G6Pase and reduced activity of GK, (2) the partial suppression of GP with subcutaneous insulin treatment reflected correction of increased G6Pase activity, but only partial correction of low GK activity, and (3) the normalization of GP with intraperitoneal insulin treatment reflected correction of both increased G6Pase activity and low GK activity. Our current studies indicate that chronic intraperitoneal insulin treatment is superior to subcutaneous treatment with regard to hepatic glucose metabolism. Copyright © 2000 by W.B. Saunders Company
