Studies on the biochemical effects of glibenclamide on alloxan diabetic rabbits

Abstract: Treatment of alloxan diabetic rabbits with glibenclamide, the most potent of the sulfonylureas, for a period of 2 months, significantly ameliorated the diabetic condition. It produced a decrease in serum and liver lipids, amino acids, serum urea, blood sugar and urine sugar; increase in body weight, serum and liver proteins, liver glycogen, glucose tolerance and serum and liver acid labile phosphates. The possible mechanism of action of this hypoglycemic agent is discussed.

“…Further, level of glycogen, the primary intracellular storable form of glucose in various tissues is a direct reflection of insulin activity as insulin promotes intracellular glycogen deposition by stimulating glycogen synthase and inhibiting glycogen phosphorylase. The observed depletion of liver glycogen stores in diabetic mice is consistent with an earlier study (27), indicating that it could be due to the loss of glycogen-synthase activating system (28) and/or increased activity of glycogen phosphorylase (27). Since alloxan causes selective destruction of E-cells of the islets of langerhans resulting in a marked decrease of insulin levels, it is rational to believe that the glycogen level in liver of diabetic animals will decrease, as synthesis of glycogen depends on insulin for the influx of glucose.…”

“…Diabetes was experimentally induced with streptozotocin. The effect of streptozotocin on the glycemic state of different animal species has been published in several reports (Gunnarson, et al, 1974;Annamala & Augusti, 1980;Yamamoto et al, 1981;Uchigata et al, 1983;Okamoto, 1984;Al-Awadi et al, 1985;Noreen et al, 1988Noreen et al, , 1992El-Seifi et al, 1993 a, b;Rawi, 1995;Rawi et al, 1996;Abdel-Moneim et al, 1997, 1999Judiono et al, 2011;Suharyo et al, 2012;Giovana et al, 2014).…”
