[ 123 I]Insulin Metabolism in Normal Rats and Humans: External Detection by a Scintillation Camera

Abstract: [123I]Insulin was injected intravenously into rats and the distribution and kinetics of radioactivity were analyzed by external detection with a scintillation camera connected to a computer. When injected alone, [123I]insulin was rapidly taken up by the liver and to a smaller extent by the kidneys. After reaching a maximum at 3 to 5 minutes after injection, liver radioactivity rapidly declined and free iodide appeared in the plasma. After previous saturation of the insulin receptor compartment, [123I]insulin w… Show more

“…In previous studies, we showed that the most prominent uptake occurred by the liver, which reached a maximum in 3-4 min and was about 30% of the total injected dose. This uptake appears to be receptor-mediated and can be blocked by injection of excess unlabelled insulin [14] or by antibodies to the insulin receptor [18]. Renal uptake represented about 15% of the total injected dose, but did not appear to be receptor mediated, and actually increased when hepatic uptake was blocked by insulin or anti-receptor antibody [14,18].…”

Renal uptake represented about 15% of the total injected dose, but did not appear to be receptor mediated, and actually increased when hepatic uptake was blocked by insulin or anti-receptor antibody [14,18]. In the present study, we have applied this technique to study insulin biokinetics and receptor interaction in the Zucker obese rat.…”

“…12 Insulin metabolism occurs mainly in the liver and, to a much lesser extent, in the kidneys and muscle tissues. The enzyme insulin-glutathione transhydrogense cleaves the intermolecular disulfide bonds holding the A and B chains.…”
