The present study was undertaken to determine the influence of human C-peptide fragment (11-22) on in vivo glucose utilization in STZ-induced diabetic rats by using the sequential euglycemic clamp technique. Two different insulin infusion rates, 3.0 (low-dose) and 30.0 (high-dose) mU/kg/min were employed in the awake condition. Rat C-peptide I or human C-peptide fragment was infused at a rate of 0.05 nmol/kg/min, which increased plasma levels from 0.2 ± 0.1 to 12.3 ± 5.2 ng/ml, from 0.6 ± 0.1 to 22.5 ± 2.2 ng/ml, respectively. (fasting levels in controls were 4.7 ± 1.0 ng/ml). Plasma insulin level during the low-dose and high-dose insulin infusion were 30 and 400 μU/ml, respectively, and blood glucose was clamped at 140 mg/dl by periodic adjustment of i.v. glucose infusion rate. Glucose metabolic clearance rate (MCR) in diabetic rats given rat C-peptide I during the low-dose insulin clamp was 17.4 ± 2.9 ml/kg/min (n = 6) as compared to 8.3 ± 0.7 ml/kg/min (n = 6) in diabetic control rats (p<0.05). Likewise, MCR in diabetic rats infused with human C-peptide fragment (11-22) (13.0 ± 3.2) tended to be 50% greater than in control diabetic rats, but not statistically significant. Rat C-peptide I and human C-peptide fragment (11-22) did not significantly influence MCR at the high-dose insulin clamps. It could be concluded that human C-peptide fragment (11-22) also has biological activity in glucose utilization.}, pages = {21--25}, title = {C-ペプチドフラグメントのインスリン作用に及ぼす影響}, volume = {21}, year = {1998} }
