Abstract
INTRODUCTION Studies have shown that dexmedetomidine (DEX, an a2-adrenoceptors agonist) provides a neuroprotective effect and influences blood glucose levels. Here, we evaluated the effect of prolonged treatment with low doses of DEX on the survival rate of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in the substantia nigra and also serum glucose levels in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) - induced Parkinson's disease (PD) in the rat. MATERIAL AND METHODS The neurotoxin of 6-OHDA was injected into the medial forebrain bundle by stereotaxic surgery. DEX (25 and 50 µg/kg, i.p) and yohimbine, an a2-adrenoceptor antagonist (1 mg/kg, i.p) were administered before the surgery to the 13 weeks afterward. Apomorphine-induced rotational tests and blood sampling were carried out before the surgery and multiple weeks after that. Thirteen weeks after the surgery, the rats' brain was transcardially perfused to assess the survival rate of DAergic neurons using the tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunohistochemistry. RESULTS DEX remarkably attenuated the severity of rotational behavior and reversed the progress of the PD. It also increased the number of TH-labeled neurons by up to 60%. The serum glucose levels in 6-OHDA-received rats did not change in the third and seventh weeks after the surgery but decreased significantly in the thirteenth week. Treatment with DEX prevented this decrement in glucose levels. On the other hand, Treatment with yohimbine did not affect PD symptoms and glucose levels. CONCLUSION Our data indicate that DEX through neuroprotective activity attenuates the severity of 6-OHDA-induced PD in rats. DEX might also prevent hypoglycemia during the progress of the PD.

Abstract
Human studies indicate that Parkinson's disease (PD) associates with disruption in metabolism of glucose and free fatty acids (FFA). Studies have shown that interlukin-1beta (IL-1β) causes hypoglycemia through insulin- independent mechanisms. Here, we investigated association between dopaminergic neuronal death, as the main pathophysiological mechanism underlying PD, and serum levels of glucose, FFA and IL-1β in 6-hydroxydopamine (6-OHDA) animal model of PD. Neurotoxin of 6-OHDA was injected into medial forebrain bundle and multiple behavioral testes were carried out during eight weeks thereafter. Blood was collected before the toxin and in second and eight weeks thereafter. Then, brain of the animals was perfused to assess survival of dopaminergic (DAergic) neurons in substantia nigra by tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) immunohistochemistry. Glucose, FFA and IL-1β levels were determined using calorimetric method and specific ELISA kits. In compare to control, 6-OHDA- treated rats had less glucose and FFA levels in the eight week and higher IL-1β level in the both second and eight weeks. Based on severity of behavioral symptoms, 6-OHDA- treated rats were divided into two subgroups of severe and mild. Number of TH- positive cells in these subgroups was 83 and 45% less than that in control. Also, both subgroups showed less weight gain, lower glucose and FFA and higher IL-1β in eight week. Our data indicate that moderate to severe progressive DAergic neuronal death in substantia nigra associates with a decrease in serum levels of glucose and FFA. Increase in IL-1β production following neuronal death possibly mediated this decrease.

Abstract
To investigate whether the glucose uptake (GU) of human peritoneal mesothelial cells (HPMC) is mediated by glucose transporters and whether this uptake is influenced by interleukin 1–β (IL-1β), we measured 2-deoxy-(3H)-GU of HPMC in vitro, after exposing the cells for different times (two and 12 hours) to increasing concentrations (0.1, 1.0, and 2.0 ng/mL) of IL-1 β. To exclude a noncarrier-mediated transport, GU was also tested in the presence of cytochalasin B. All experiments were performed in triplicate in the cells of two donors.Cytochalasin B inhibits GU of HPMC almost completely. GU of HPMC is not stimulated by insulin. GU is stimulated by IL-1 β in a dose-dependent manner.These data indicate a GU of HPMC, which is mediated by a glucose transporter and stimulated by IL-1 β. The increased uptake of glucose from the dialysate In patients with peritonitis may be mediated by a (cytokineinduced) increased activity of HPMC glucose transporters.

Abstract
The interleukin-(IL)-1 subfamily consists of IL-1α, IL-1β, IL-1 receptor antagonist IL-1Ra and IL-33. These cytokines are the main members of the IL-1 family and have been widely recognized as having significant roles in pro-inflammatory and immunomodulatory actions. Mounting evidence has revealed that these cytokines also play key roles in the regulation of glycolysis, which is an important metabolic pathway in most organisms that provides energy. Dysregulation of glycolysis is associated with various diseases, including type 2 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and cancer. We reviewed studies addressing the important roles of IL-1 subfamily cytokines, with particular focus on their ability to regulate glycolysis in disease states. In this review, we summarize the potential roles of IL-1 subfamily members in glycolysis in disease states and address the underlying mechanisms. Furthermore, we discuss the potential of these cytokines as therapeutic targets in clinical applications to provide insight into possible therapeutic strategies for treatment, especially for cancers.

Abstract
Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are a group of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) that provide innate immune sensing of conserved pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) to engage early immune recognition of bacteria, viruses, and protozoa. Furthermore, TLRs provide a conduit for initiation of non-infectious inflammation following the sensing of danger-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) generated as a consequence of cellular injury. Due to their essential role as DAMP and PAMP sensors, TLR signaling also contributes importantly to several systemic diseases including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and others. The overlapping participation of TLRs in the control of infection, and pathogenesis of systemic diseases, has served as a starting point for research delving into the poorly defined area of infection leading to increased risk of various systemic diseases. Although conflicting studies exist, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, rheumatoid arthritis, and obesity/metabolic dysfunction have been associated with differing degrees of strength to infectious diseases. Here we will discuss elements of these connections focusing on the contributions of TLR signaling as a consequence of bacterial exposure in the context of the oral infections leading to periodontal disease, and associations with metabolic diseases including atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes.

Deranged bioenergetics and defective redox capacity in T lymphocytes and neutrophils are related to cellular dysfunction and increased oxidative stress in patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus. Clin Dev Immunol 2011; 2012:548516.

Abstract
Urinary excretion of N-benzoyl-glycyl-Nε-(hexanonyl)lysine, a biomarker of oxidative stress, was higher in 26 patients with active systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) than in 11 non-SLE patients with connective tissue diseases and in 14 healthy volunteers. We hypothesized that increased oxidative stress in active SLE might be attributable to deranged bioenergetics, defective reduction-oxidation (redox) capacity, or other factors. We demonstrated that, compared to normal cells, T lymphocytes (T) and polymorphonuclear neutrophils (PMN) of active SLE showed defective expression of facilitative glucose transporters GLUT-3 and GLUT-6, which led to increased intracellular basal lactate and decreased ATP production. In addition, the redox capacity, including intracellular GSH levels and the enzyme activity of glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px) and γ-glutamyl-transpeptidase (GGT), was decreased in SLE-T. Compared to normal cells, SLE-PMN showed decreased intracellular GSH levels, and GGT enzyme activity was found in SLE-PMN and enhanced expression of CD53, a coprecipitating molecule for GGT. We conclude that deranged cellular bioenergetics and defective redox capacity in T and PMN are responsible for cellular immune dysfunction and are related to increased oxidative stress in active SLE patients.

Abstract
Interleukin (IL)-1beta induces a prolonged hypoglycemia in mice that is not caused by a reduction in food intake and is dissociable from insulin effects. There is a peripheral component in the hypoglycemia that the cytokine induces resulting from an increased glucose uptake, an effect that can be exerted in a paracrine fashion at the site where IL-1 is locally produced. However, the maintenance of hypoglycemia is controlled at brain levels because the blockade of IL-1 receptors in the central nervous system inhibits this effect to a large extent. Furthermore, there is evidence that the cytokine interferes with counter regulation to hypoglycemia. Here we report that administration of IL-1 or long-lasting insulin results in different changes in food intake and in neuroendocrine mechanisms 8 h following induction of the same degree of hypoglycemia (40-45% decrease in glucose blood levels). Insulin, but not IL-1, caused an increase in food intake and an endocrine response that tends to reestablish euglycemia. Conversely, a decrease in noradrenergic and an increase in serotonergic activity in the hypothalamus occur in parallel with a reduction of glucose blood levels only in IL-1-treated mice, effects that can contribute to the maintenance of hypoglycemia. These results are compatible with the proposal that IL-1 acting in the brain can reset glucose homeostasis at a lower level. The biologic significance of this effect is discussed.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A great amount of investigations have provided evidence that both type 1 and type 2 diabetes increase the risk and severity of periodontitis; several alterations in the diabetic periodontium are likely to be involved. Conversely, periodontitis has been shown to have an impact on diabetes, although less evidence is available on the underlying mechanisms. The association between periodontitis and diabetes has been discussed in several reviews over the past years; however, none has focused on the use and contribution of rodent models. METHODS This review describes the most commonly used rodent models of diabetes, periodontitis, and the association between the two diseases. Further, we summarize the influence of diabetes in the periodontium as well as the effect of periodontitis on diabetes status with special focus on evidence from experimental studies. RESULTS Rodent studies have confirmed human findings and further increased our knowledge on the alterations in the diabetic periodontium. On the other hand, few rodent investigations have explored the consequences of periodontitis for diabetes. Their results clearly indicate that periodontitis can become a health hazard not only for diabetes but also for prediabetes; the exact mechanisms are still to be unraveled. CONCLUSIONS Findings from rodent studies have been useful in increasing our understanding of periodontitis, diabetes, and their association and hold great promise for future investigations given the wide variety of possibilities for testing biologic hypotheses.

Abstract
Administration of IL-1beta results in a profound and long-lasting hypoglycemia. Here, we show that this effect can be elicited by endogenous IL-1 and is related to not only the capacity of the cytokine to increase glucose uptake in peripheral tissues but also to mechanisms integrated in the brain. We show that (i) blockade of IL-1 receptors in the brain partially counteracted IL-1-induced hypoglycemia; (ii) peripheral administration or induction of IL-1 production resulted in IL-1beta gene expression in the hypothalamus of normal and insulin-resistant, leptin receptor-deficient, diabetic db/db mice; (iii) IL-1-treated normal and db/db mice challenged with glucose did not return to their initial glucose levels but remained hypoglycemic for several hours. This effect was largely antagonized by blockade of IL-1 receptors in the brain; and (iv) when animals with an advanced Type II diabetes were treated with IL-1 and challenged with glucose, they died in hypoglycemia. However, when IL-1 receptors in the brains of these diabetic mice were blocked, they survived, and glucose blood levels approached those that these mice had before IL-1 administration. The prolonged hypoglycemic effect of IL-1 is insulin-independent and develops against increased levels of glucocorticoids, catecholamines, and glucagon. These findings, together with the present demonstration that this effect is integrated in the brain and is paralleled by IL-1beta expression in the hypothalamus, indicate that this cytokine can reset glucose homeostasis at central levels. Such reset, along with the peripheral actions of the cytokine, would favor glucose uptake by immune cells during inflammatory/immune processes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Epidemiologic and clinical studies have indicated that periodontal disease (PD) may cause disturbances in general health and even affect diabetes. The aim of this study was to gain knowledge on the effect of PD on diabetes metabolic control in a new model for type 2 diabetes-associated PD (i.e., the Goto-Kakizaki [GK] rat). METHODS GK rats represented the type 2 diabetes group and were allocated into two groups: diabetes or diabetes+PD group; Wistar rats represented the non-diabetes group and were divided into non-diabetes+PD and non-diabetes groups. PD was induced by placing ligatures around second maxillary molars, and the animals were followed for 6 weeks. Serum insulin, glucose, and free fatty acid levels were evaluated; interleukin (IL)-1beta, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-alpha were measured in adipose tissue supernatant; glucose tolerance and insulin resistance were calculated. Further, alveolar bone destruction was estimated morphometrically and radiographically. RESULTS Rats with diabetes+PD became almost 30% more glucose intolerant (P<0.01) and presented a 25% increase in IL-1beta in adipose tissue (P<0.05) compared to rats from the diabetes group. Moreover, PD associated with diabetes resulted in more alveolar bone destruction in comparison to PD in the absence of diabetes (P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS Our results indicated that PD deteriorates metabolic control in diabetes, which emphasizes that PD may play a significant role for the course of diabetes. The GK rat can represent a suitable model for further studies on the association between PD and diabetes.

Abstract
The immune and neuroendocrine systems are closely involved in the regulation of metabolism at peripheral and central hypothalamic levels. In both physiological (meals) and pathological (infections, traumas and tumors) conditions immune cells are activated responding with the release of cytokines and other immune mediators (afferent signals). In the hypothalamus (central integration), cytokines influence metabolism by acting on nucleus involved in feeding and homeostasis regulation leading to the acute phase response (efferent signals) aimed to maintain the body integrity. Peripheral administration of cytokines, inoculation of tumor and induction of infection alter, by means of cytokine action, the normal pattern of food intake affecting meal size and meal number suggesting that cytokines acted differentially on specific hypothalamic neurons. The effect of cytokines-related cancer anorexia is also exerted peripherally. Increase plasma concentrations of insulin and free tryptophan and decrease gastric emptying and d-xylose absorption. In addition, in obesity an increase in interleukin (IL)-1 and IL-6 occurs in mesenteric fat tissue, which together with an increase in corticosterone, is associated with hyperglycemia, dyslipidemias and insulin resistance of obesity-related metabolic syndrome. These changes in circulating nutrients and hormones are sensed by hypothalamic neurons that influence food intake and metabolism. In anorectic tumor-bearing rats, we detected upregulation of IL-1beta and IL-1 receptor mRNA levels in the hypothalamus, a negative correlation between IL-1 concentration in cerebro-spinal fluid and food intake and high levels of hypothalamic serotonin, and these differences disappeared after tumor removal. Moreover, there is an interaction between serotonin and IL-1 in the development of cancer anorexia as well as an increase in hypothalamic dopamine and serotonin production. Immunohistochemical studies have shown a decrease in neuropeptide Y (NPY) and dopamine (DA) and an increase in serotonin concentration in tumor-bearing rats, in first- and second-order hypothalamic nuclei, while tumor resection reverted these changes and normalized food intake, suggesting negative regulation of NPY and DA systems by cytokines during anorexia, probably mediated by serotonin that appears to play a pivotal role in the regulation of food intake in cancer. Among the different forms of therapy, nutritional manipulation of diet in tumor-bearing state has been investigated. Supplementation of tumor bearing rats with omega-3 fatty acid vs. control diet delayed the appearance of tumor, reduced tumor-growth rate and volume, negated onset of anorexia, increased body weight, decreased cytokines production and increased expression of NPY and decreased alpha-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (alpha-MSH) in hypothalamic nuclei. These data suggest that omega-3 fatty acid suppressed pro-inflammatory cytokines production and improved food intake by normalizing hypothalamic food intake-related peptides and point to the possibility of a therapeutic use of these fatty acids. The sum of these data support the concept that immune cell-derived cytokines are closely related with the regulation of metabolism and have both central and peripheral actions, inducing anorexia via hypothalamic anorectic factors, including serotonin and dopamine, and inhibiting NPY leading to a reduction in food intake and body weight, emphasizing the interconnection of the immune and neuroendocrine systems in regulating metabolism during infectious process, cachexia and obesity.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is a highly active organ. In addition to storing calories as triglycerides, it also secretes a large variety of proteins, including cytokines, chemokines and hormone-like factors, such as leptin, adiponectin and resistin. Intriguingly, many, if not most, of these adipose-derived proteins have dual actions; cytokines have both immunomodulatory functions and act as systemic or auto-/paracrine regulators of metabolism, while proteins such as leptin and adiponectin are regulators of both metabolism and inflammation. The production of pro-atherogenic chemokines by adipose tissue is of particular interest since their local secretion, e.g. by perivascular adipose depots, may provide a novel mechanistic link between obesity and the associated vascular complications.

Abstract
Adipose tissue is the source of production and site of action of several pro- and antiinflammatory cytokines. We have recently shown that white adipose tissue (WAT) is a major producer of the antiinflammatory IL-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra). Because IL-1Ra serum levels are elevated 7-fold in human obesity and an excess of this protein has been implicated in the acquired resistance to leptin and insulin, we investigated the regulation of IL-1Ra in human WAT. We demonstrate that IL-1Ra is mainly produced by adipocytes, rather than the stromal fraction of WAT, and that IL-1alpha and beta, as well as interferon-beta (IFN-beta), strongly up-regulate the expression and secretion of IL-1Ra in WAT. Moreover, human WAT expresses the receptors and proteins known to be required for the action of IL-1 (IL-1 receptor type I, IL-1 receptor accessory protein) and IFN-beta (IFN-alpha/beta receptor subunits 1 and 2). Finally, human WAT actively secretes these regulatory cytokines, suggesting that they up-regulate IL-1Ra through a local autocrine/paracrine action, which is hypothesized to play a regulatory role in adipogenesis and metabolism.

Abstract
The secreted form of the interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1Ra) is an acute-phase protein intervening in the counterregulation of inflammatory processes. We previously showed that this cytokine antagonist is upregulated in the serum of obese patients, correlating with BMI and insulin resistance. In this study, we examined the expression pattern of IL-1Ra and showed that it is highly expressed not only in liver and spleen, but also in white adipose tissue (WAT), where it is upregulated in obesity. In WAT of obese humans, IL-1Ra was also markedly increased. Moreover, human WAT explants secreted IL-1Ra into the medium, a process that could be stimulated fivefold by interferon-beta. Finally, lipopolysaccharide administration induced a long-lasting expression of IL-1Ra in mouse WAT, suggesting that adipose tissue is an important source of IL-1Ra in both obesity and inflammation. In summary, we demonstrated that WAT is one of the most important sources of IL-1Ra quantitatively, suggesting that this tissue could represent a novel target for anti-inflammatory treatment. Moreover, it can be speculated that IL-1Ra, whose production is markedly increased in WAT in obese individuals, contributes further to weight gain because of its endocrine and paracrine effects on the hypothalamus and adipocytes, respectively.

Abstract
Glucose serves as the major energy substrate and the main precursor for the synthesis of glycosaminoglycans in chondrocytes. Facilitated glucose transport represents the first rate-limiting step in glucose metabolism. This study examines molecular regulation of facilitated glucose transport in normal human articular chondrocytes by proinflammatory cytokines. IL-1beta and TNF-alpha, and to a lesser degree IL-6, accelerate facilitated glucose transport as measured by [(3)H]2-deoxyglucose uptake. IL-1beta induces an increased expression of glucose transporter (GLUT) 1 mRNA and protein, and GLUT9 mRNA. GLUT3 and GLUT8 mRNA are constitutively expressed in chondrocytes and are not regulated by IL-1beta. GLUT2 and GLUT4 mRNA are not detected in chondrocytes. IL-1beta stimulates GLUT1 protein glycosylation and plasma membrane incorporation. IL-1beta regulation of glucose transport in chondrocytes depends on protein kinase C and p38 signal transduction pathways, and does not require phosphoinositide 3-kinase, extracellular signal-related kinase, or c-Jun N-terminal kinase activation. IL-1beta-accelerated glucose transport in chondrocytes is not mediated by endogenous NO or eicosanoids. These results demonstrate that stimulation of glucose transport represents a component of the chondrocyte response to IL-1beta. Two classes of GLUTs are identified in chondrocytes, constitutively expressed GLUT3 and GLUT8, and the inducible GLUT1 and GLUT9.

Abstract
The glucose transport proteins (GLUT1 and GLUT4) facilitate glucose transport into insulin-sensitive cells. GLUT1 is insulin-independent and is widely distributed in different tissues. GLUT4 is insulin-dependent and is responsible for the majority of glucose transport into muscle and adipose cells in anabolic conditions. We suggest the hypothesis that insulin resistance is dependent on whether glucose is entering through GLUT1 or GLUT4 and on the two functional compartments of glucose 6-phosphate formation within the cell. Glucose entering the muscle cell through GLUT4 and phosphorylated by hexokinase II is mainly directed to glycogen synthesis and glycolysis. If glucose is entering through GLUT1 and phosphorylated by hexokinase I, the glucose 6-phosphate so formed is available for all metabolic pathways, including the hexosamine pathway. Hexosamines have a negative feedback effect on GLUT4, and reduced GLUT4 activity decreases insulin-mediated glucose uptake. Thus, insulin-independent glucose transport through GLUT1 can meet the basal needs of the muscle cell. If glucose entrance through GLUT1 and the activation of the hexosamine pathway is abundant, it can decrease the insulin-mediated glucose transport through GLUT4 leading to insulin resistance.

Abstract
It is widely accepted that interleukin-1beta (IL-1beta), a cytokine produced not only by immune cells but also by glial cells and certain neurons influences brain functions during infectious and inflammatory processes. It is still unclear, however, whether IL-1 production is triggered under nonpathological conditions during activation of a discrete neuronal population and whether this production has functional implications. Here, we show in vivo and in vitro that IL-1beta gene expression is substantially increased during long-term potentiation of synaptic transmission, a process considered to underlie certain forms of learning and memory. The increase in gene expression was long lasting, specific to potentiation, and could be prevented by blockade of potentiation with the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonist, (+/-)-2-amino-5-phosphonopentanoic acid (AP-5). Furthermore, blockade of IL-1 receptors by the specific interleukin-1 receptor antagonist (IL-1ra) resulted in a reversible impairment of long-term potentiation maintenance without affecting its induction. These results show for the first time that the production of biologically significant amounts of IL-1beta in the brain can be induced by a sustained increase in the activity of a discrete population of neurons and suggest a physiological involvement of this cytokine in synaptic plasticity.

Abstract
The impact that neuroendocrine effects of cytokines have on general host homeostasis is reflected by the profound metabolic changes observed in parallel. The effect of interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) on glucose blood levels serves as an example. Although IL-1 beta stimulates glucocorticoid output and decreases hepatic glycogen content, hypoglycemia is concomitantly detected in adult and newborn mice. This effect is observed even during fasting and is probably due to increased glucose transport into tissues. Even after a glucose load, IL-1-treated animals remain hypoglycemic, suggesting that central mechanisms that control the set point of glucose homeostasis are affected. Low doses of IL-1 beta injected i.c.v. can also induce hypoglycemia. Furthermore, central blockade of IL-1 receptors partially inhibits the hypoglycemia induced by peripheral administration of IL-1 beta. On the other hand, central depletion of catecholamines exacerbates IL-1-induced hypoglycemia. IL-1-mediated effects on glucose levels might be directed at providing more energy supply to tissues during processes with high metabolic demands.

Abstract
This communication explores the possibility that interleukin (IL)-1beta, a putative intermediary in the ovulatory process, may take part in the gonadotropin-driven midcycle diversion of ovarian carbohydrate metabolism toward glycolysis. We examined the effect of treatment with IL-1beta on glucose metabolism in aerobically cultured whole ovarian dispersates from immature rats. Treatment with IL-1beta increased cellular glucose consumption/uptake, stimulated extracellular lactate accumulation and media acidification, and decreased extracellular pyruvate accumulation in a receptor-mediated, time-, dose- and cell density-dependent manner. Endogenous IL-1beta-like bioactivity was shown to mediate the ability of gonadotropins to exert these same metabolic effects. The IL-1beta effect was also (1) apparent over a broad range of glucose concentrations, inclusive of the putative physiological window; (2) relatively specific, because tumor necrosis factor-alpha and insulin were inactive; (3) contingent upon cell-cell cooperation (4) and reliant on de novo protein synthesis. Comparison of the molar ratios of lactate accumulation to glucose consumption in IL-1beta-replete vs. IL-1beta-deplete cultures suggests that IL-beta promotes the conversion of all available glucose to lactate but that other substrates for lactate production may also exist. However, no lactate was generated by cells grown under glucose-free conditions. Taken together, our data suggest that IL-1beta may act as a metabolic hormone in the ovary. Subject to the limitations of the in vitro paradigm, our data also suggest that IL-1beta may mediate the gonadotropin-associated midcycle shift in ovarian carbohydrate metabolism. By converting the somatic ovarian cells into a glucose-consuming glycolytic machinery, IL-1beta may establish glycolysis as the main energy source of the relatively hypoxic preovulatory follicle and the resultant cumulus-oocyte complex. The consequent oxygen sparing may conserve the limited supply of oxygen needed for vital biosynthetic processes such as steroidogenesis. This adaptational response may also provide the glycolytically incompetent oocyte with the obligatory tricarboxylic cycle precursors it depends on to meet the increased energy demands imposed upon it by the resumption of meiosis.

Abstract
The present studies examined the effects of chronic interleukin-1 (IL-1 beta) infusion on glucose homeostasis and insulin secretion in male Sprague Dawley rats. IL-1 beta (4 micrograms per day) or saline was infused over a six day period using mini-osmotic pumps, surgically inserted under light ether anesthesia. Saline-infused rats were fed the amount of food consumed by their respective pair in the IL-1 beta group on the previous day. IL-1 beta infusion resulted in decreased food intake and significant body weight loss as well as increased liver and kidney weights. IL-1 beta infusion resulted in fasting hypoglycemia as well as elevated blood glucose levels in response to an oral glucose load compared to controls. Glucose-induced insulin secretion from the isolated perfused pancreas was significantly lower in IL-1 beta treated rats compared to controls. These data demonstrate that chronic IL-1 beta administration alters glucose homeostasis and impairs glucose-induced insulin secretion.

Abstract
The effects of interleukin-1 alpha, tumor necrosis factor-alpha and dexamethasone on the induction of nitric oxide synthase mRNA in rat aortic smooth muscle cells were studied. Neither interleukin-1 alpha (up to 100 U/ml) nor tumor necrosis factor-alpha (up to 5000 U/ml) was capable of inducing nitrite/nitrate production and nitric oxide synthase mRNA in smooth muscle cells. In contrast, treatment for 12 hr or longer with a combination of the two synergistically induced nitrite/nitrate and cyclic GMP production in cell culture media and nitric oxide synthase mRNA, both of which were prevented by dexamethasone. Contamination with bacterial lipopolysaccharide, which may affect the induction of nitric oxide synthase, was below 30 pg/ml in all experiments. Our findings show that dexamethasone and these cytokines regulate the induction of nitric oxide synthase at the mRNA level in vascular smooth muscle cells.

Abstract
The regulation of beta 1- and beta 2-adrenergic receptors (beta 1AR and beta 2AR) and receptor gene expression by interleukin-1 alpha (IL-1 alpha) was studied in cultured A549 human lung adenocarcinoma cells. The density and affinity of beta 1 AR and beta 2 AR were analyzed by computerized curve fitting of 125I-pindolol binding and its displacement by subtype selective antagonists. Steady state levels of receptor mRNAs were quantified by DNA excess solution hybridization assays. A549 cells in preconfluent cultures had fewer beta 1AR than beta 2AR (beta 1: 1.9 +/- 0.3 vs beta 2: 4.0 +/- 0.5 fmol/mg protein, means +/- SE), but lost most of their beta 2 AR upon reaching confluency (beta 1: 2.7 +/- 0.4, beta 2: 0.8 +/- 0.3 fmol/mg). Incubation of preconfluent cells for 24 hr with 20 pM of human recombinant IL-1 alpha did not modify the density of either of the beta AR subtypes. Similar incubations of confluent cells increased the density of beta 2 AR from 0.8 +/- 0.3 to 4.2 +/- 0.9 fmol/mg, while the density of beta 1 AR and the antagonist affinities of both receptors remained unaltered. The IL-1 alpha-induced increase in beta 2 AR density in confluent cells was antagonized in a concentration-dependent manner by a recombinant protein antagonist of type I IL-1 receptors (IC50: 0.2 nM). The IL-1 alpha-induced increase in beta 2AR density was preceded by an increase in the steady state level of beta 2AR mRNA, while levels of beta 1AR mRNA remained unchanged. IL-1 alpha increased the stability as well as the rate of transcription of beta 2AR mRNA. These findings demonstrate for the first time that activation of type I IL-1 receptors in A549 cells leads to a cell density-dependent, selective upregulation of beta 2AR, and that the mechanism of this effect involves increased formation and stability of the beta 2AR message.

Abstract
Preincubation of murine macrophage-like P388D1 cells with physiological amounts of insulin resulted in an increase in prostaglandin E2 binding to these cells, by approximately 2-fold, when compared to untreated cells. Scatchard analysis of the binding of PGE2 to insulin-treated cells indicated that the enhanced binding was due to an increase in receptor number (from 0.30 +/- 0.02 to 0.63 +/- 0.03 fmol/10(6) cells for the high affinity receptor binding sites, and from 2.4 +/- 0.31 to 5.0 +/- 0.41 fmol/10(6) cells for the low affinity receptor binding sites) rather than to an increase in the affinity of the binding sites. The insulin-stimulation of PGE2 binding appeared to be associated with a lowering of the cAMP level in these cells; treatment of cells with insulin lowered the cAMP level by increasing the cAMP phosphodiesterase activity of both the membrane and cytosolic fractions. However, enhanced PGE2 binding to the cells resulted in an increase in cAMP level in the cells. This increase in cAMP level may help to enhance the immunosuppressive action of this prostanoid, as PGE2 is known to suppress many steps in the immune response, including interleukin-1 expression, by raising cAMP levels via activation of receptor-linked adenylate cyclase. Our data suggest that insulin at physiological concentrations may enhance the immunosuppressive action of PGE2.

Abstract
Higher basal 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake in rheumatoid synovial cells than in non-rheumatoid synovial cells, was found to be associated with an increased interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 beta) secretion (respectively 850 +/- 238 vs. 8.3 +/- 2.4 pg/24 h/10(5) cells, mean +/- S.E.M.). When exogenous human recombinant IL-1 beta was added to cultures, a marked stimulation of 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake was performed by both human synovial cultured cells, in a time-dependent and dose-dependent manner (IL-1 beta 0-100 ng/ml). In non-rheumatoid synoviocytes, stimulation occurred 1-3 h following the addition of 1 ng/ml interleukin-1 beta and increased up to 24 hours (respectively +150% and +261.4% after 6 and 24 hours association time). Rheumatoid synovial cells were less sensitive to 1 ng/ml IL-1 beta (respectively +80% and +146.4%). IL-1 beta increased significantly the Vmax for 2-deoxy-D-glucose uptake by synovial cells, with no change in the Km. This effect was protein synthesis-dependent, and not secondary to prostaglandin E2 synthesis or cell growth. IL-1 beta possesses an important effect on glucose homeostasis in synovial cells, which could be indirect and/or regulated by the presence of natural inhibitors.

Abstract
To better understand molecular mechanisms of glucose transport in shock, we studied glucose transporter isoform mRNA abundance after injection of S. enteritidis endotoxin (40 mg/kg) or saline. Six to 8 hours after injection, endotoxin-treated animals compared to controls became hypoglycemic (44 +/- 6 vs. 111 +/- 4 mg/dl) and lactacidemic (5.9 +/- 0.5 vs. 1.3 +/- 0.1). At such times, tissue RNA was isolated and hybridized to Riboprobes for GLUT1 (erythrocyte), GLUT2 (liver), and GLUT4 (muscle/fat) glucose transporter isoforms and expressed as percent of control. GLUT1 mRNA abundance was increased in fat (660%, p less than .05), soleus muscle (314%, p less than .05), and liver (871%, p less than .001) of endotoxin-treated rats. Soleus muscle GLUT4 mRNA levels were increased (+33%, p less than .02), while liver GLUT2 mRNA levels were markedly decreased (-58%, p less than .01). The overall increase in GLUT1 mRNA abundance accompanied by lowered liver GLUT2 mRNA levels may either cause or reflect profoundly altered glucose transport.
