Rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) are known to use dietary carbohydrates poorly. One of the hypotheses to explain the poor utilisation of dietary glucose by these fish is a dysfunction in nutritional regulation of hepatic glucose metabolism. In this study, we obtained partial clones of rainbow trout cDNAs coding for a glucose transporter (Glut2), and for the enzymes 6-phosphofructo-2-kinase/fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase (6PF-2K/F-2,6BPase), fructose-1,6-bisphosphatase (FBPase) and pyruvate kinase (PI(), Their deduced amino acid sequences were highly similar to those of mammals (up to 80% similarity), In a study of nutritional regulation, the Glut2 gene was highly expressed in the liver irrespective of the nutritional status of the trout, in agreement with... |

In the present study, the production of an anti-GLUT 2 antibody is reported. The antibody (S-5096) was raised in New Zealand rabbits immunized with an immunogen prepared by cross-linking the synthetic peptide and a carrier protein. A COOH-terminal decapeptide of rat GLUT 2 predicted sequence was synthesized and coupled to keyhole limpet hemocyanin, using the glutaraldehyde method. Subcellular membrane fractions were prepared from renal cortex (C) and medulla (M), and subjected to Western blotting analysis using the antiserum in a 1:200 dilution and, subsequently, [125I]protein A. As the results showed, the S-5096 anti-serum showed clear blots in kidney samples, stronger in cortex than in medulla as expected, whereas white adipose tissue and heart samples... |

We studied the synergistic effect of glucose and prolactin (PRL) on insulin secretion and GLUT2 expression in cultured neonatal rat islets. After 7 days in culture, basal insulin secretion (2.8 mM glucose) was similar in control and PRL-treated islets (1.84 ± 0.06% and 2.08 ± 0.07% of the islet insulin content, respectively). At 5.6 and 22 mM glucose, insulin secretion was significantly higher in PRL-treated than in control islets, achieving 1.38 ± 0.15% and 3.09 ± 0.21% of the islet insulin content in control and 2.43 ± 0.16% and 4.31 ± 0.24% of the islet insulin content in PRL-treated islets, respectively. The expression of the glucose transporter GLUT2 in B-cell membranes was dose-dependently increased by exposure of the islet to increasing glucose... |
