AbstractThe aim of the present study was to assess the changes in gene expression and peptide adrenomedullin (AM) levels in cardiovascular and other tissues in the streptozotocin-diabetic rats. For this purpose, diabetes was induced by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ, 65 mg/Kg body weight). Half of the diabetic rats were subcutaneously injected with insulin in the afternoon (4 units/day) one week after STZ injection until the day before killing. Control rats received only saline injection. AM mRNA was determined in cardiovascular and other tissues of streptozotocin-diabetic rats using solution-hybridization- RNase protection assay. Circulating AM and peptide AM in cardiovascular and other tissues were estimated using a specific radioimmunoassay. There were increases in preproAM mRNA levels in the left and right ventricles and in the thoracic aorta in both the 2-week and 4-week diabetic rats, but not in the two atria, the mesenteric artery and the lung. In the 2-week diabetic rats, there were decreases in AM contents in the two atria and the lung but an increase in the thoracic aorta. In the 4-week diabetic rats, there were bigger decreases in the atria and also a decrease in the left ventricle. The plasma AM levels were not changed but there was an increase in the excretion of AM in the urine. Our results suggest a possible increase in AM release in the heart and the thoracic aorta in the 2-week and 4-week diabetic rats. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart.
