Effect of Monomethylhydrazine on Insulin Levels in Rats

Abstract

The studies described here were done to determine the effect of MMH on plasma glucose, plasma insulin, and liver glycogen levels in fasted and glucose stimulated rats. There was a hyperglycemic response but no change in insulin levels. MMH also appears to interfere with glycogenesis in rats given exogenous glucose. The effect of MMH on glucose metabolism is probably due to a block in anaerobic glycolysis.
