Abstract: The effect of long-term (2 weeks) exposure to 0–50 m M glucose and 0–1 m M sorbitol on myo -inositol metabolism was studied in cultured rat Schwann cells. Experiments were carried out to determine the effect of sorbinil and ascorbic acid on myo -inositol uptake in rat Schwann cells cultured in the presence of increased extracellular glucose or sorbitol. myo -Inositol uptake and its incorporation into phospholipids decreased significantly when cells were grown in ≥30 m M glucose for a period of 2 weeks. This inhibitory effect was partly blocked by sorbinil, an aldose reductase inhibitor, in a dose-dependent fashion. Significant prevention was achieved with 0.5 and 1 m M sorbinil. Ascorbic acid also prevented the reduction in myo -inositol uptake due to excess extracellular glucose, at 3 and 30 µ M concentrations, but not at 300 µ M . Neither sorbinil nor ascorbic acid could prevent the alterations in myo -inositol transport in cells exposed to high sorbitol levels for the same period of time. These data suggest that glucose-induced alteration of myo -inositol transport in Schwann cells is mediated, at least in part, via sorbitol accumulation. This myo -inositol transport impairment is prevented by sorbinil and also by ascorbic acid. Ascorbic acid may hold a fresh promise for the treatment/prevention of diabetic neuropathy/complications, at least as an adjunct therapy along with known aldose reductase inhibitors. 相似文献

Studies of rats with experimental streptozotocin (STZ)-induced diabetes at 4 months have identified sciatic nerve trunk oligemia and hypoxia, but it is uncertain how early these abnormalities develop or which develops first. We studied young (4-week-old) rats after 6 or 16 weeks of STZ-induced diabetes (or after citrate buffer injection in controls) by recording multi-fiber conduction in three different nerve territories and by measuring sciatic endoneurial blood flow (NBF) and oxygen tension (PnO2) at end point. To evaluate the impact of sympathectomy on this diabetic model, separate animal groups were treated for 5 weeks with guanethidine monosulfate given at the onset of diabetes (group 1, end point 6 weeks) or after 6 weeks of diabetes (group 2, end point 16 weeks). Diabetes was associated with deficits in sensory and motor caudal conduction and increased resistance to ischemic conduction failure (RICF). NBF was comparable to control animals at both time points and was within the published normal range of NBF. In contrast, oxygen tensions were shifted to lower values in diabetic animals. Sympathectomy was associated with blunting of the RICF increase in group 2 but worsened caudal sensory conduction despite evidence of modest improvement in sciatic nerve oxygenation. Our findings support the concept that neuropathy occurs early in diabetes and that hypoxia develops before oligemia. Sympathectomy did not benefit this diabetic model. 相似文献

Statin treatment reduces oxidative stress-associated apoptosis of sciatic nerve in diabetes mellitus
《Biotechnic & histochemistry》2013,88(6):373-378
AbstractStatins are lipid-lowering drugs that are widely used for treating hyperlipidemia, especially in diabetic patients. The aim of our study was to explore the effects of atorvastatin on oxidative stress and apoptosis in the sciatic nerve due to hyperglycemia. Diabetes was induced by streptozotocin. Atorvastatin was given orally for two weeks beginning from the sixth week. Microscopic examination of sciatic nerve revealed that normal tissue organization was disrupted in streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. Treatment with Atorvastatin reduced the histological damage and protected the morphological integrity of the sciatic nerve in streptozotocin induced diabetes. Increased expressions of transforming growth factor beta-1, endothelial nitric oxide synthase and TUNEL in sciatic nerve from streptozotocin induced diabetes were reduced by Atorvastatin. Atorvastatin could improve the effects of oxidative stress and apoptosis on the sciatic nerve due to diabetes. 相似文献

Effects of aldose reductase inhibitors on prostacyclin (PGI2) synthesis by aortic rings from rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The effects of aldose reductase inhibitors (ARIs) on the synthesis of prostacyclin (PGI2) by aortic rings from diabetic rats were examined. The ARIs studied were ONO-2235 and isoliquiritigenin, a new compound extracted from glycyrrhizae radix. The content of sorbitol in the sciatic nerve of diabetic rats induced by streptozotocin was significantly increased as compared with that of controls. This increase was significantly inhibited by the administration of an ARI. On the other hand, there was a marked decrease in the synthesis of PGI2 by the diabetic rats compared with the control rats. The decrease in PGI2 synthesis was significantly reversed by the administration of an ARI. Furthermore, the synthesis of PGI2 by the aortic rings was inversely correlated with the content of sorbitol in sciatic nerves. Those observations suggest that an ARI may have a beneficial effect on the vascular synthesis of PGI2 in diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

The ability of aldose reductase inhibitors to prevent the decline in neural Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in diabetic rats has not been confirmed by all laboratories. In this study, the efficacy of two structurally different aldose reductase inhibitors was evaluated under different experimental conditions. Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity was measured in sciatic nerves from streptozocin-induced diabetic rats fed normal rodent chow or a chow supplemented with 68% sucrose. Nerve homogenates from chow-fed rats were prepared with a Dounce tissue grinder, whereas homogenates from the sucrose-fed rats were prepared with an Ultra-Turrax disperser. In the chow-fed rats, 4 weeks of untreated diabetes resulted in an increase in neural sorbitol and fructose, a decrease in myoinositol, and a 54% decline in Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. Sorbinil administration (20 mg/kg/day) completely prevented the rise in sorbitol and fructose and the depletion of myoinositol, but did not prevent the decline in Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. In diabetic rats fed the sucrose diet for 4, 6, and 8 weeks, the neural sorbitol and fructose levels were elevated, the myoinositol concentration declined, and the Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity was 26 to 28% below the control. Prevention or intervention treatment with sorbinil (20 mg/kg/day) or tolrestat (50 mg/kg/day) for 4 to 6 weeks prevented the alterations in sorbitol, fructose, and myoinositol, and also prevented the decline in Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity. In conclusion, prevention and intervention therapy with aldose reductase inhibitors prevented the decline in Na+,K(+)-ATPase in sciatic nerves of sucrose-fed streptozocin-diabetic rats that were homogenized with an Ultra-Turrax disperser, but not in sciatic nerves from streptozocin-diabetic rats fed normal rodent chow that were homogenized with a Dounce tissue grinder. These findings indicate that the assessment of aldose reductase inhibitor efficacy is dramatically affected by the type of nerve preparation assayed and/or the diet. 相似文献

Effects of cobalt on the antioxidant status of control and streptozotocin diabetic rat heart and aorta were examined at the second, fourth and sixth week of treatment. Rats were divided into four groups: control, diabetic, control treated with cobalt chloride and diabetic treated with cobalt chloride. Diabetes was induced by tail vein injection of streptozotocin (STZ). Cobalt treatment groups were given 0.5 mM of CoCl(2) in drinking water. The rats in both groups were further subdivided into three groups of six rats each. Rats in these subgroups were studied at 2-week intervals up to 6 weeks. At the end of the experiment, all animals were sacrificed by decapitation, heart and aorta samples were removed for determination of thiobarbituric acid reactive substance (TBARS) level and superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) activities. It was found that lipid peroxidation levels and antioxidant enzyme activities were increased in the streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats at all times studied. Cobalt treatment of diabetic rats (0.5 mM in drinking water) resulted in attenuation of the increased levels of TBARS and antioxidant enzyme activities in heart and aorta. Thus, the effect of oral administration of cobalt at this dose during the early stage of experimental diabetes can be considered as a consequence of altered endogenous defence mechanisms in heart and aorta. 相似文献

Ganglioside treatment of diabetic rats; effects on nerve adenosine triphosphatase activity and motor nerve conduction velocity 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity (expressed as nmol ADP produced/h/mg (wet) nerve +/- SEM) was measured in homogenates of sciatic nerve from control rats and rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes of 8 wk duration. Nerves from diabetic rats showed activity (21.7 +/- 2.0) which was significantly (p less than 0.05) less than that of controls (34.6 +/- 4.8). These animals also showed a deficit in conduction velocity (m/sec +/- SEM) of sciatic nerve motoneurones (50.7 +/- 0.4 vs. 57.7 +/- 0.7 in controls; p less than 0.001). In parallel, matched control and diabetic groups were treated daily with mixed gangliosides extracted from bovine brain (10 mg/kg i.p.). After such treatment for 8 wk the deficit in ouabain-sensitive ATPase activity did not develop in the diabetic group (treated diabetics, 31.9 +/- 3.7; treated controls, 34.5 +/- 3.8). However, the treatment did not affect the deficit in motor nerve conduction velocity (treated diabetics, 50.9 +/- 1.1 vs. treated controls, 57.9 +/- 0.5; p less than 0.001). Accumulations of the polyol pathway metabolites--sorbitol and fructose--together with depletion of nerve myo-inositol were similar in both diabetic groups. These data indicate an etiology for the conduction velocity deficit which differs from that of the deficit in ouabain-sensitive ATPase. 相似文献

Insulin Reverses Enhanced Incorporation of 32 P into Polyphosphoinositides in Peripheral Nerve of the Streptozotocin Diabetic Rat 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

The ability of insulin treatment to reverse altered phosphoinositide metabolism in sciatic nerve from streptozotocin diabetic rats was studied. Diabetes was induced in rats by means of a single injection of streptozotocin. Enhanced incorporation of 32P into phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) was detectable as early as 8 days following intravenous injection of streptozotocin and was maximal after 4 weeks. Hormone treatment was initiated at this time by daily injections of protamine zinc insulin followed by the implantation of long-acting insulin osmotic minipumps, and 4 weeks later sciatic nerves were removed and incubated in the presence of [32P]orthophosphate. The increased labeling of PIP2 was completely reversed by hormone administration. In contrast, insulin (0.1 and 1.0 mU/ml) added to the incubation medium failed to reverse the altered pattern of 32P incorporation into PIP2. The uptake of 32P into PIP2 was greater than 80% higher into the proximal than into the distal portion of normal sciatic nerve when these were incubated separately. This metabolic difference was abolished in diabetic rats, although the incorporation into both segments was still significantly higher than in controls. These results strengthen the association of altered nerve PIP2 metabolism with the diabetic state and are consistent with the concept that experimental diabetic neuropathy is a distal axonopathy. 相似文献

Neuroprotective effects of metformin have been increasingly recognized in both diabetic and non-diabetic conditions. Thus far, no information has been available on the potential beneficial effects of metformin on peripheral nerve regeneration in diabetes mellitus. The present study was designed to investigate such a possibility. Diabetes was established by a single injection of streptozotocin at 50 mg/kg in rats. After sciatic nerve crush injury, the diabetic rats were intraperitoneally administrated daily for 4 weeks with metformin (30, 200 and 500 mg/kg), or normal saline, respectively. The axonal regeneration was investigated by morphometric analysis and retrograde labeling. The functional recovery was evaluated by electrophysiological studies and behavioral analysis. It was found that metformin significantly enhanced axonal regeneration and functional recovery compared to saline after sciatic nerve injury in diabetic rats. In addition, metformin at 200 and 500 mg/kg showed better performance than that at 30 mg/kg. Taken together, metformin is capable of promoting nerve regeneration after sciatic nerve injuries in diabetes mellitus, highlighting its therapeutic values for peripheral nerve injury repair in diabetes mellitus. 相似文献

Sodium selenate, administered intraperitoneally (i.p.), resulted in an improvement in glucose tolerance in treated diabetic rats. Fed rat plasma glucose levels were reduced by selenate treatment in streptozotocin diabetic rats. The lowest values of blood glucose were reached within 3 weeks of beginning the treatment. Food and fluid consumption was reduced in treated compared to untreated diabetic rats. Diabetic treated rats did not release insulin in response to a glucose challenge and insulin release in response to a challenge was markedly reduced in control treated rats. Assessment of heart function using a working heart apparatus showed that treated diabetic rats with improved blood glucose levels had normal heart function at 8 weeks of diabetes in contrast to hearts from non-treated diabetics. This study extends previous observations on the in vivo insulin-like effects of sodium selenate. 相似文献

Alterations of Inositol Lipid Metabolism of Rat Sciatic Nerve in Streptozotocin-Induced Diabetes 总被引:9,自引:8,他引:1
Abstract: The composition and metabolism of rat sciatic nerve phospholipids were studied 20 weeks after induction of chronic diabetes by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (50 mg/kg). On a wet weight basis the nerves from the diabetic animals showed a 7% decrease in total phospholipid from that of controls and a relative decrease in phosphatidylinositol. Incubations of isolated sciatic nerves of diabetic rats in a medium containing [33 P]orthophosphate gave decreased labeling of phosphatidylinositol and substantial changes in the labeling pattern of phosphatidylinositol phosphate and 4,5-bisphosphate from that of controls. The ratio of label in these polyphosphoinositides decreased from 2.5 for normal nerve to about 1.0 for diabetic nerve within a 2-h incubation period. These metabolic alterations were not observed in acutely diabetic animals 5 days after streptozotocin (100 mg/kg) administration. Because polyphosphoinositides may be involved in the control of membrane permeability during axonal conduction, alterations in their relative amounts or turnover rates could be related to the physiological changes of early diabetic neuropathy. 相似文献

The aim of this study was designed to investigate the possible beneficial effects of Nigella sativa (NS) and thymoquinone (TQ) on histopathological changes of sciatic nerves in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The rats
were randomly allotted into one of four experimental groups: A (control), B (diabetic untreated), C (diabetic treated with
NS) and D (diabetic treated with TQ); each group contain ten animals. B, C and D groups received streptozotocin (STZ) to induce
diabetes. The rats in NS and TQ treated groups were given NS (in a dose of 400 mg/kg body weight) and TQ (50 mg/kg body weight)
once a day orally by using intra-gastric intubation for 12 weeks starting 2 days after STZ injection, respectively. Blood
and tissue samples were obtained for biochemical and histopathological investigation. The treatment of both NS and TQ caused
a sharp decrease in the elevated serum glucose (P < 0.01, 0.05, respectively), and an increase in the lowered serum insulin concentrations (P < 0.01, 0.05, respectively), in STZ-induced diabetic rats. STZ induced a significant decrease in the area of insulin immunoreactive
β-cells (P < 0.0001). NS (P < 0.001) and TQ (P < 0.01) treatment resulted in increased area of insulin immunoreactive β-cells significantly. To date, no histopathological
changes of sciatic nerves in STZ induced diabetic rats by NS and TQ treatment have been reported. In this study, histologic
evaluation of the tissues in diabetic animals treated with TQ and especially NS showed fewer morphologic alterations. Myelin
breakdown decreased significantly after treatment with NS and TQ. The ultrastructural features of axons also showed remarkable
improvement. We believe that further preclinical research into the utility of NS and TQ may indicate its usefulness as a potential
treatment on peripheral neuropathy (PN) in STZ induced diabetic rats. 相似文献

Acute diabetes with ketosis was induced in rats by intraperitoneal streptozotocin and also a milder form of diabetes without ketosis by injecting less of the drug. The acutely diabetic rats were killed 72h after injection and the others after either 2 or 13 weeks. Free and lipid myo-inositol was then measured in various tissues and body fluids by g.l.c. of the trimethylsilyl ether. Serum inositol was increased in the acutely diabetic group, whereas liver inositol was decreased. Brain and kidney inositol concentrations were increased in the mildly diabetic animals at 13 weeks and there was a progressive decrease in sciatic-nerve inositol. Lipid inositol of sciatic nerve was decreased in the acutely diabetic group only. Brain lipid inositol concentration was decreased in mild diabetes at 13 weeks. Possible implications of these findings in relation to diabetic neuropathy was discussed. 相似文献

A new prostaglandin E1 analogue (TFC-612) prevents a decrease in motor nerve conduction velocity in streptozocin-diabetic rats 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

A new prostaglandin E1 analogue (TFC-612) was orally given to streptozocin-diabetic rats for 4 weeks after the induction of diabetes and its effects on motor nerve conduction velocity were studied. The compound significantly prevented a decrease of the velocity but did not reverse abnormal sorbitol and myo-inositol contents of the sciatic nerve. The results suggest that TFC-612 has a potent effect on diabetic nerve dysfunction via other mechanism than the correction of sorbitol and myo-inositol metabolisms and could be a potential compound for therapy of diabetic polyneuropathy. 相似文献

Diabetic neuropathy is the most common complication of diabetes. We examined the levels and the mRNA expression of myelin
proteins in the sciatic nerves and the brains of streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The diabetic rats exhibited a decrease
in body weight, elevation of the blood glucose level and a decrease in motor nerve conduction velocity at 2 weeks after streptozotocin
injection. In the sciatic nerves of diabetic rats, the level of P0 protein and its mRNA expression were markedly reduced at
20 weeks after the injection. In the brains, the levels of proteolipid protein and myelin-associated glycoprotein and their
mRNA expression were selectively decreased at 20 weeks after the injection. This affected expression of myelin proteins was
found even when no histological abnormalities were detectable. Considering the functional significance of myelin proteins,
this impairment of protein expression is possibly involved in the pathogenesis of diabetic neuropathy, including that in brain
disorders. 相似文献

The present study was conducted to see the effect of probucol on streptozotocin diabetes in rats. After 2 weeks of a 1% probucol diet, 35 or 50 mg/kg of streptozotocin were intravenously injected into male Wistar rats. All the rats became diabetic 2 days after treatment. Thereafter, in order to see the effect of probucol on spontaneous recovery from streptozotocin diabetes, 25 mg/kg of streptozotocin was injected into rats after two weeks of probucol diet and the diet was continued for additional two weeks. All the rats with a standard diet (group CS, n = 13) and 12 of 13 rats with probucol diet (group PS) became diabetic 2 days after streptozotocin injection. One rate from group PS did not develop diabetes. Two weeks after injection, only 4 of 13 rats in groups CS showed recovery, while 11 of 12 rats in group PS showed recovery from streptozotocin diabetes (p less than 0.05). The average blood glucose levels in group PS were significantly lower than group CS (10.5 +/- 4.6 vs 18.5 +/- 0.6 mM, p less than 0.05). In addition, the pancreatic insulin content of group PS was 8 times greater than that of group CS (0.75 +/- 0.24 vs 0.09 +/- 0.03 mmol/pancreas, p less than 0.01). Thus, the in vivo diabetogenic action of streptozotocin could not be reduced by pretreatment with probucol. However, recovery from streptozotocin diabetes was induced by subsequent treatment with probucol. The precise mechanisms for this phenomenon were not known; but the present findings suggest the protective effect of probucol on beta-cell damage induced by small dose of streptozotocin. 相似文献

The effects of long-term insulin-dependent diabetes on the enzymatic activities of hepatic cytochrome P450 isozymes were determined in rats rendered diabetic by the administration of streptozotocin and killed 4, 8, and 12 weeks following treatment. The O-dealkylations of ethoxy-resorufin and pentoxyresorufin were elevated in the diabetic animals throughout the study, the extent of increase being similar at all three time points. p-Nitrophenol hydroxylase activity was induced in the diabetic animals 4 weeks following treatment with streptozotocin, but the extent of increase became less pronounced with the progress of the disease. A modest increase in ethylmorphine N-demethylase activity was also observed but only in the diabetic animals killed 4 weeks after the induction of diabetes. Finally, lauric acid hydroxylase activity was elevated in the diabetic animals 4 weeks following streptozotocin administration but then declined rapidly with the duration of the disease. It is concluded that the duration of diabetes modulates the hepatic cytochrome P450 profile, with the effect being isoenzyme specific. Mechanisms that may account for these changes are discussed. 相似文献

Diabetic dyslipidemia, the main causative factor for the progression of vascular complications in diabetes, is caused due to hyperglycemia and excess mobilisation of fatty acids. Recently we have reported on a novel macrocyclic binuclear oxovanadium (MBOV) complex synthesized by us with significant hypoglycemic efficacy and without any apparent toxicity on streptozotocin induced diabetic rats. In the present study, streptozotocin induced diabetic rats were treated with the vanadium complex (5 mg/kg body weight/day) for a period of 30 days and at the end of the treatment period the status of the lipid profile in the plasma, liver and kidney was evaluated. Also the fatty acid composition of liver and kidney were analysed by gas chromatography. The increased levels of lipid contents in plasma and tissues observed in diabetic rats were reverted back to near normal levels by the administration of the vanadium complex. Also the decreased levels of HDL cholesterol and increased levels of LDL cholesterol in plasma of diabetic rats were restored to near normal levels by the treatment with the vanadium complex. The altered fatty acid composition in liver and kidney were restored by the treatment. The results enhance the claim for the macrocyclic binuclear oxovanadium complex as a potent anti-diabetogenic drug.This revised version was published online in May 2005 with a corrected article title. 相似文献

The effects of zenarestat, 3-(4-bromo-2-fluorobenzyl)-7-chloro-3,4-dihydro-2,4-dioxo-1(2H)-quinazolineacetic acid, an aldose reductase inhibitor (ARI), on F-wave conduction abnormalities, nerve blood flow (NBF) reduction and sorbitol accumulation were studied in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. Two weeks after the induction of diabetes, zenarestat was given once a day for two weeks. In diabetic control rats, marked accumulation of sorbitol, reduction of NBF and prolongation of minimal F-wave latency (FWL) were observed as compared to normal rats. Zenarestat, at a dose of 32 mg/kg, inhibited sorbitol concentration to nearly the normal rat level and significantly improved not only NBF but also minimal FWL. At a dose of 3.2 mg/kg, sorbitol accumulation was inhibited by approximately 40% and there was a tendency to increase in NBF; however, minimal FWL was not improved at all. These data suggest that a highly inhibition of the nerve sorbitol accumulation is requisite for the treatment of diabetic peripheral neuropathy. 相似文献
