Abstract
Immunoreactive insulin was measured in acid-ethanol extracts of kidney, brain, liver, and heart from genetically diabetic Chinese hamsters and their nondiabetic controls and from obese (ob/ob) mice and their thin littermates. Selected samples were filtered on Sephadex G-50 columns and the insulin concentration determined. There was a good correlation between the insulin level measured in the acid-ethanol extracts of tissues and the insulin level after gel filtration, suggesting that the concentration measured in the whole extract is representative of the true insulin content. The present data demonstrate that different extrapancreatic organs contain characteristic amounts of insulin that are often (sometimes several-fold) higher than the... (More)
Immunoreactive insulin was measured in acid-ethanol extracts of kidney, brain, liver, and heart from genetically diabetic Chinese hamsters and their nondiabetic controls and from obese (ob/ob) mice and their thin littermates. Selected samples were filtered on Sephadex G-50 columns and the insulin concentration determined. There was a good correlation between the insulin level measured in the acid-ethanol extracts of tissues and the insulin level after gel filtration, suggesting that the concentration measured in the whole extract is representative of the true insulin content. The present data demonstrate that different extrapancreatic organs contain characteristic amounts of insulin that are often (sometimes several-fold) higher than the insulin level of plasma. The tissue insulin concentrations also exhibit a wide range of values, with occasional high values. The data also show a direct correlation between plasma and kidney insulins but no relationship between plasma and brain insulins and a mixed correlation among plasma and liver and heart insulins.
