  • Title: Rat brain insulin degrading enzyme in insulin and thyroid hormones imbalances.
    Author: Azam M, Gupta BL, Gupta G, Jain S, Baquer NZ.
    Journal: Biochem Int; 1990; 21(2):321-9. PubMed ID: 2206136.
    Abstract:
    Rat brain insulin degrading enzyme activity and its relationship with insulin receptor were investigated in experimental hyperglycemia, hyperinsulinemia, hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Insulin degrading enzyme activity was assessed in synaptosomes and high speed cytosol using [125I]insulin. Levels of insulin degrading enzyme were changed in high speed cytosol in insulin and thyroid hormone imbalances. These results suggest that insulin degrading enzyme in brain is predominantly active in cytosol and is subject to regulation by insulin and thyroid hormones. Probably it plays some role in long term effects of insulin in brain.
