Insulin has a plethora of metabolic effects but its action on carbonic anhydrase-III (CA-III), a key enzyme in acid-base regulation, has been little studied. The present studies examined the effects of streptozotocin-induced diabetes on the concentrations of CA-III. The concentration of CA-III in the liver, muscles and serum of rats with experimental diabetes mellitus was measured by the method of enzyme-immunoassay. Streptozotocin-induced diabetes mellitus resulted in a reduction in concentration of CA-III in the liver and serum, but not in skeletal muscles, of adult male rats. A 98% reduction in hepatic CA-III content relative to control values was observed. The reduction in CA-III content in the liver was restored to control value by administration of insulin. The CA-III content in serum of diabetic rats declined to approx. 25% of control values, but the reduction was unaffected by administration of insulin. The concentration of CA-III in the liver and serum of diabetic rats was not influenced by administration of methyltestosterone. Although the content of CA-III in m. rectus femoris, m. tibialis craniaris and m. soleus differed, no significant difference of CA-III content was found between diabetes mellitus and control rats. The effect of chronic diabetes mellitus on CA-III content was obviously different between liver and muscle, suggesting that the regulation of CA-III biosynthesis differs between these two tissues. These results suggest that biosynthesis of CA-III in hepatocytes of rats is influenced by irregular patterns of GH secretion brought about by diabetes mellitus.
