One-Time Injection of Parathyrin Increases

One-time injection of domestic preparation of bull parathyrin—parathyreoidin (1 U/100g body weight, intramuscular) leads to a significant decrease of the blood glucose level and an increase of the serum calcium level in rats. There is a close negative correlation established between glucose and calcium level (r = −0.813, P > 0.02). The calcium laktat load (9 mg) per os induces the same changes. There is a functional negative correlation established between glucose levels and total calcium content (r = −0.997, P < 0.01). It proves that the decrease of the blood glucose level under parathyrin injection is connected with hypercalcaemia. Parathyrin causes the reduction of the dynamics of hyperglycemia under the glucose load per os (30% solution, 1 ml/100g), i.e. parathyrin increases glucose tolerance. Glucose consumption by muscle (diaphragm) and adipose (epididymal) tissues in vivo and in vitro does not alter under parathyrin and it does not affect the stimulating effect of insulin on the process. The combinative effect of parathyrin and calcium channel blockers—isoptin (5 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) or nifedipin (1 mg/kg, intraperitoneal) reveals more intensive and lasting decrease of the blood glucose level in comparison with only parathyrin effect and more reduction of the dynamics of hyperglycemia under the glucose load. Thus, parathyrin decreases the blood glucose level, increases glucose tolerance and does not effect insulin resistance.
