RESUMO

Peptides homologous to Cys53 44-77 and Cys53 52-77 of the human growth hormone molecule were prepared by solid-phase synthesis and tested by our acute glucose tolerance test in ob/ob mice. Peptide 44-77, as either the Acm-Cys53 or Cam-Cys53 derivative, adversely affects glucose tolerance at doses of 100 to 150 nmol. Peptide 52-77 is nonhyperglycemic. Other diabetogenic properties are being tested.

RESUMO

Studies in female ob/ob mice demonstrated diabetogenic properties of human growth hormone (somatotropin) and of a fragment generated therefrom by controlled digestion with pepsin; both the fragment and parent growth hormone produce long-term effects on carbohydrate metabolism; in acute glucose tolerance tests, only the fragment is active. Two nonacidic diabetogenic fractions have been separated from inactive fractions by chromatography on Bio-Gel P-6 followed by ion exchange chromatography at pH 4.3 and gel filtration on Bio-Gel P-2 and/or Sephadex G25; these active fractions exhibited multiple NH2-terminal (Lys, Phe, Leu, and Tyr). Fraction CD has these characteristics: (i) It induces glucose intolerance in fasting female ob/ob mice when injected subcutaneously in a divided dose, 15 min before and concurrently with glucose; mice injected with sufficient peptide exhibit elevated fasting glucose levels as long as 7 months after a single glucose tolerance test. (ii) It is a peptide smaller than that reported to stimulate body growth, but larger than somatostatin. This peptide, as reported earlier, does not crossreact with antiserum to human growth hormone in radioimmunoassay.

RESUMO

A fragment that induces glucose intolerance in hereditarily obese mice has been prepared from pituitary growth hormone(sheep and human) by controlled digestion with pepsin in 0.05 M sodium acetate buffer, pH 3.7. The digest was purified by column chromatography on Bio-Gel P-6, followed by chromatography on Bio-Rex 70 and Bio-Gel P-2; in each successive step peptide was quantitated with the fluorescamine procedure. The fragment from sheep growth hormone has these characteristics: (1) It induces glucose intolerance in fasted ob/ob female mice when injected subcutaneously in a divided dose 15 min before, and concurrently with, glucose. (2) It is a basie peptide, as judged from its elution behavior on Bio-Rex 70, H(+) form. (3) It does not crossreact with antiserum to human growth hormone in radioimmunoassay. Further purification and initial sequence determinations have been undertaken.
