Riassunto

Una carenza insulinica acuta è stata provocata nei conigli trattati con siero di cavia anti-insulina. Sono state studiate le variazioni del livello della glicemia, degli acidi grassi liberi, dell'acetoacetato, della SGOT, della SGPT, delle transaminasi glutammico-ossalacetica e glutammico-piruvica epatiche e della lattico deidrogenasi epatica. E' stato rilevato un aumento significativo della glicemia e degli acidi grassi liberi, ed anche della glicosuria. Gli altri parametri esaminati sono rimasti invariati. I risultati confermano il fatto che la carenza acuta di insulina provoca un disturbo immediato del metabolismo glucidico e lipidico.

Resume

On a provoqué une carence en insuline aïgue chez des lapins traités au sérum de cobaye antiinsuline. On a étudié les variations de taux de glycémie, des acides gras libres, d'acéto-acétate, de SGOT, de SGPT, des transaminases glutamique oxalacétique et glutamico-pyruvique hépatiques ainsi que de la déshydrogénase lactique hépatique. On a observé une augmentation significative de la glycémie et des acides gras libres, et même de la glycosurie. Les autres paramètres étudiés sont restés inchangés. Les résultats confirment le fait que la carence aïgue en insuline provoque une perturbation immédiate du métabolisme des glucides et des lipides.

Resumen

Una carencia insulínica aguda ha sido provocada en los conejos tratados con suero de cobayo anti-insulina. Han sido estudiadas las variaciones en los niveles de la glucemia, de los ácidos grasos libres, del acetoacetato, de la SGOT, de la SGPT, de las transaminasas glutámico-oxaloacética y glutámico-pirúvica hepáticas y de la láctico-dehidrogenasa hepática. Ha sido puesto de manifiesto un aumento significativo de la glucemia y de los ácidos grasos libres, y también de la glucosuria. Los otros parámetros examinados han quedado invariados. Los resultados ratifican el hecho de que la carencia aguda de insulina provoca una alteración inmediata en el metabolismo de los glúcidos y de los lípidos.

Zusammenfassung

Ein akuter Insulin-Mangelzustand wurde in mit anti-Insulinserum vom Meerschweinchen behandelten Kaninchen hervorgerufen. Es wurden die Veraenderungen des Blutzuckerspiegels, der freien Fettsaeuren, des Azetoazetats, der SGOT, SGPT, der Glutaminsaeure-Oxalessigsaeure-Transaminase und der Glutaminsaeure-Pyruvat-Transaminase, sowie der LDH in der Leber untersucht. Es wurde eine signifikante Steigerung des Blutzuckers, der freien Fettsaeuren und auch des Harnzuckers festgestellt. Die anderen untersuchten Parameter blieben unveraendert. Die Resultate bestaetigen den Tatbestand, dass der akute Insulinmangelzustand eine sofortige Stoerung des Kohlenhydrat- sowie des Fettstoffwechsels ausloest.

Summary

Acute insulin deficiency was produced in rabbits treated with anti-insulin guinea pig serum. The changes in the levels of blood sugar, free fatty acids, aceto-acetate, SGOT, SGPT, liver glutamicoxaloacetic and glutamic-pyruvic transaminases, and liver lactate dehydrogenase were examined. A significant increase of the blood glucose level and the free fatty acids as well as glycosuria was observed. The other examined parameters remained unchanged. The results confirm the statement that acute insulin deficiency causes a prompt impairment of glucose and fat metabolism.
