| Abstract: | Summary Stearoyl CoA desaturase activity in liver microsomes, and insulin, thyroxine, and triiodothyronine levels in serum were measured after administration of streptozocin (STZ) and its antagonists to rats. The effect of STZ, which caused hyperglycemia and inhibited the desaturase activity, was antagonized by 2-desoxyglucose and 3-O-methyl-glucose; 1-O-methyl-3-desoxyglucose and 1-O-methyl-3-O-methylglucose were without any effect. The enzyme activity plotted against insulin levels showed a broad sigmoidal curve, whereas the activities versus thyroid hormone levels showed steeper sigmoidal curves. |
