Abstract
Human insulin was glycated under hyperglycemic reducing conditions and a novel diglycated form (M(r) 6135.1 Da) was purified by RP-HPLC. Endoproteinase Glu-C digestion combined with mass spectrometry and automated Edman degradation localized glycation to Gly1 and Phe1 of the insulin A- and B-chains, respectively. Intraperitoneal (i.p.) administration of diglycated insulin to mice alone or in combination with glucose (7 nmol/kg) resulted in a 43-61% and 11-34% reduction in glucose lowering activity, respectively, compared with native insulin. Consistent with these findings, diglycated insulin (10-9 to 10-7 mol/liter) was 22-38% less effective (P < 0.001) than native insulin in stimulating glucose uptake, glucose oxidation and glycogen production in isolated mouse abdominal muscle.
