Abstract
Early childhood obesity increases the risk of developing metabolic diseases. We
examined the early introduction of exercise in small-litter obese-induced rats
(SL) on glucose metabolism in the epididymal adipose tissue (AT) and soleus
muscle (SM). On day 3 post-birth, pups were divided into groups of ten or three
(SL). On day 22, rats were split into sedentary (S and SLS) and exercise (E and
SLE) groups. The rats swam three times/week carrying a load for 30 min. In the
first week, they swam without a load; in the 2nd week, they carried a load
equivalent to 2% of their body weight; from the 3rd week to the final week, they
carried a 5% body load. At 85 days of age, an insulin tolerance test was
performed in some rats. At 90 days of age, rats were killed, and blood was
harvested for plasma glucose, cholesterol, and triacylglycerol measurements.
Mesenteric, epididymal, retroperitoneal, and brown adipose tissues were removed
and weighed. SM and AT were incubated in the Krebs-Ringer bicarbonate buffer,
5.5 mM glucose for 1 h with or without 10 mU/mL insulin. Comparison between the
groups was performed by 3-way ANOVA followed by the Tukey
post-hoc test. Sedentary, overfed rats had greater body
mass, more visceral fat, lower lactate production, and insulin resistance. Early
introduction of exercise reduced plasma cholesterol and contained the deposition
of white adipose tissue and insulin resistance. In conclusion, the early
introduction of exercise prevents the effects of obesity on glucose metabolism
in adulthood in this rat model.

Abstract
Diabetes is one of the most common endocrine non-communicable metabolic disorders which is mainly caused either due to insufficient insulin or inefficient insulin or both together and is characterized by hyperglycemia. Diabetes emerged as a serious health issue in the industrialized and developing country especially in the Asian pacific region. Out of the two major categories of diabetes mellitus, type 2 diabetes is more prevalent, almost 90 to 95% cases, and the main cause of this is insulin resistance. The main cause of the progression of type 2 diabetes mellitus has been found to be insulin resistance. The type 2 diabetes mellitus may be managed by the change in lifestyle, physical activities, dietary modifications and medications. The major currently available management strategies are sulfonylureas, biguanides, thiazolidinediones, α-glucosidase inhibitors, dipeptidyl peptidase-IV inhibitors, and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) agonist. Binding of insulin on the extracellular unit of insulin receptor sparks tyrosine kinase of the insulin receptor which induces autophosphorylation. The phosphorylation of the tyrosine is regulated by insulin and leptin molecules. Protein tyrosine phosphatase-1B (PTP1B) works as a negative governor for the insulin signalling pathways, as it dephosphorylates the tyrosine of the insulin receptor and suppresses the insulin signalling cascade. The compounds or molecules which inhibit the negative regulation of PTP1B can have an inductive effect on the insulin pathway and finally help in the management of diabetes mellitus. PTP1B could be an emerging therapeutic strategy for diabetes management. There are a number of clinical and basic research results which suggest that induced expression of PTP1B reduces insulin resistance. In this review, we briefly elaborate and explain the place of PTP1B and its significance in diabetes as well as a recent development in the PTP1B inhibitors as an antidiabetic therapy.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus and obesity are one of the most common health issues spread throughout world and raised the medical attention to find the new effective agents to treat these disease state. Occurrence of the drug resistance to the insulin and leptin receptor is also challenging major issues. The molecules that can overcome this resistance problem could be effective for the treatment of both type II diabetes and obesity. Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase (PTP) has emerged as new promising targets for therapeutic purpose in recent years. Protein Tyrosine Phosphatase 1B (PTP 1B) act as a negative regulator of insulin and leptin receptor signalling pathways. Several approaches have been successfully applied to find out potent and selective inhibitors. This article reviews PTP 1B inhibitors; natural, synthetic and semi-synthetic that showed inhibition towards enzyme as a major target for the management of type II diabetes. These studies could be contributing the future development of PTP 1B inhibitors as drugs.

Abstract
SIGNIFICANCE Protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPs) play essential roles in controlling cell proliferation, differentiation, communication, and adhesion. The dysregulated activities of PTPs are involved in the pathogenesis of a number of human diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and autoimmune diseases. RECENT ADVANCES Many PTPs have emerged as potential new targets for novel drug discovery. PTP inhibitors have attracted much attention. Many PTP inhibitors have been developed. Some of them have been proven to be efficient in lowering blood glucose levels in vivo or inhibiting tumor xenograft growth. CRITICAL ISSUES Some metal ions and metal complexes potently inhibit PTPs. The metal atoms within metal complexes play an important role in PTP binding, while ligand structures influence the inhibitory potency and selectivity. Some metal complexes can penetrate the cell membrane and selectively bind to their targeting PTPs, enhancing the phosphorylation of the related substrates and influencing cellular metabolism. PTP inhibition is potentially involved in the pathophysiological and toxicological processes of metals and some PTPs may be cellular targets of certain metal-based therapeutic agents. FUTURE DIRECTIONS Investigating the structural basis of the interactions between metal complexes and PTPs would facilitate a comprehensive understanding of the structure-activity relationship and accelerate the development of promising metal-based drugs targeting specific PTPs.

Abstract
Protein phosphorylation plays a critical role in normal cellular function and is often subverted in disease. Although major advances have recently been made in identification and quantitation of protein phosphorylation sites by MS, current methodological limitations still preclude routine, easily usable, and comprehensive quantitative analysis of protein phosphorylation. Here we report a simple LC-MS method to quantify gel-separated proteins and their sites of phosphorylation; in this approach, integrated chromatographic peak areas of peptide analytes from proteins under study are normalized to those of a non-isotopically labeled internal standard protein spiked into the excised gel samples just prior to in-gel digestion. The internal standard intensities correct for differences in enzymatic activities and sample losses that may occur during the processes of in-gel digestion and peptide extraction from the gel pieces. We used this method of peak area measurement with an internal standard to investigate the effects of pervanadate on protein phosphorylation in the WEHI-231 B cell lymphoma cell line and to assess the role of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) in these phosphorylation events. Phosphoproteins, isolated from total cell lysates using IMAC or by immunoprecipitation using Tyr(P) antibodies, were analyzed using this method, leading to identification of >400 proteins, several of which were found at higher levels in phosphoprotein fractions after pervanadate treatment. Pretreatment of cells with the PI3K inhibitor wortmannin reduced the phosphorylation level of certain proteins (e.g. STAT1 and phospholipase Cgamma2) while increasing the phosphorylation of several others. Peak area measurement with an internal standard was also used to follow the dynamics of PI3K-dependent and -independent changes in the post-translational modification of both known and novel phospholipase Cgamma2 phosphorylation sites. Our results illustrate the capacity of this conceptually simple LC-MS method for quantification of gel-separated proteins and their phosphorylation sites and for quantitative profiling of biological systems.

Abstract
Inorganic and organic compounds of vanadium have been shown to exhibit a large range of insulinomimetic effects in the cardiovascular system, including stimulation of glucose transporter 4 (GLUT-4) translocation and glucose transport in adult cardiomyocytes. Furthermore, administration of vanadium compounds improves cardiac performance and smooth muscle contractility, and modulates blood pressure in various models of hypertension and insulin resistance. Vanadium compounds are potent inhibitors of protein tyrosine phosphatases. As a result, they promote an increase in protein tyrosine phosphorylation of several key components of the insulin signaling pathway, leading to the upregulation of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase and protein kinase B, two enzymes involved in mediating GLUT-4 trans location and glucose transport. In addition, vanadium has also been shown to activate p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase and increase Ca2+levels in several cell types. The ability of vanadium compounds to activate these signaling events may be responsible for their ability to modulate cardiovascular functions.Key words: vanadium compounds, glucose transport, smooth muscle contractility, insulin signaling pathway.

Abstract
The interactions of quinolone ciprofloxacin (cfH) and oxovanadium(IV) were studied by various methods. Green crystals of a complex [V(IV)O(cf)(2)(H(2)O)] were isolated and the molecular connectivities established, although the crystal structure was not perfectly refined due to the instability of the crystals. Based on a plausible interpretation of the data sets, two cf anions bidentately coordinate to a vanadyl cation through carboxylate and carbonyl oxygen atoms; in addition, there is a water molecule in the coordination sphere. Solution techniques (cyclic voltammetry, electronic and electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, potentiometric measurements) confirmed the presence of various species in the solution, the composition of which strongly depends on the conditions in the system. The antibacterial activity of the complex against various microorganisms was tested and it was established that its activity is similar to that of free ciprofloxacin.

Abstract
Vanadate, an inhibitor of tyrosine phosphatases, has insulin-mimetic properties. It has been shown that acute vanadate administration enhances glucose uptake independently of phosphatidylinositol (PI) 3-kinase and p38 MAPK. However, therapeutic vanadate use requires chronic administration, and this could potentially involve a different signaling pathway(s). Thus, we examined the mechanisms by which chronic vanadate exposure (16 h) stimulates glucose uptake in primary cultures of adult cardiomyocytes. The effect of vanadate on the activation of insulin-signaling molecules was evaluated 60 min after its withdrawal and in the absence of insulin. We therefore evaluated the persistent effect of vanadate on the insulin-signaling cascade. Our results demonstrate that preincubation with low vanadate concentrations (25-75 microM) induces a dose-dependent increase in glucose uptake. The augmentation of this process was not due to alterations in GLUT1 or GLUT4 protein levels, transcription, or de novo protein synthesis. Chronic vanadate exposure was associated with activation of the insulin receptor, insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1), PKB/Akt, and p38 MAPK. Furthermore, inhibition of PI 3-kinase or p38 MAPK by wortmannin and PD-169316, respectively, significantly inhibited vanadate-mediated glucose uptake in cardiomyocytes. Thus, over time, different (albeit overlapping) signaling cascades may be activated by vanadate.

Abstract
In this study we have explored whether the bifunctional protein semicarbazide-sensitive amine oxidase (SSAO)/vascular adhesion protein-1 (VAP-1) represents a novel target for type 2 diabetes. To this end, Goto-Kakizaki (GK) diabetic rats were treated with the SSAO substrate benzylamine and with low ineffective doses of vanadate previously shown to have antidiabetic effects in streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. The administration of benzylamine in combination with vanadate in type 2 diabetic rats acutely stimulated glucose tolerance, and the chronic treatment normalized hyperglycemia, stimulated glucose transport in adipocytes, and reversed muscle insulin resistance. Acute in vivo administration of benzylamine and vanadate stimulated skeletal muscle glucose transport, an effect that was also observed in incubated muscle preparations coincubated with adipose tissue explants or with human recombinant SSAO. Acute administration of benzylamine/vanadate also ameliorated insulin secretion in diabetic GK rats, and this effect was also observed in incubated pancreatic islets. In keeping with these observations, we also demonstrate that pancreatic islets express SSAO/VAP-1. As far as mechanisms of action, we have found that benzylamine/vanadate causes enhanced tyrosine phosphorylation of proteins and reduced protein tyrosine phosphatase activity in adipocytes. In addition, incubation of human recombinant SSAO, benzylamine, and vanadate generates peroxovanadium compounds in vitro. Based on these data, we propose that benzylamine/vanadate administration generates peroxovanadium locally in pancreatic islets, which stimulates insulin secretion and also produces peroxovanadium in adipose tissue, activating glucose metabolism in adipocytes and in neighboring muscle. This opens the possibility of using the SSAO/VAP-1 activity as a local generator of protein tyrosine phosphatase inhibitors in antidiabetic therapy.

Abstract
The effects of vanadium complexes with organic ligands, [VO(phen)2]SO4.3H2O, [VO(bpy)2]SO4.2H2O, and [VOCl2(Hmcp)2H2O], on blood glucose and plasma lipid levels were studied in nondiabetic and streptozotocin-diabetic rats and compared to that of [VO(mal)2] (the reference compound). The present results provide evidence that the compounds examined possess lower toxicity than [VO(mal)2]. One of the compounds examined, viz. [VO(bpy)2]SO4.2H2O, decreases, statistically significantly, the glucose level and a second one, viz. [VOCl2(Hmcp)2H2O], decreases, also significantly, the total cholesterol level.

Abstract
Type 1 and type 2 diabetic patients often show elevated plasma ketone body concentrations. Because ketone bodies compete with other energetic substrates and reduce their utilization, they could participate in the development of insulin resistance in the heart. We have examined the effect of elevated levels of ketone bodies on insulin action in primary cultures of adult cardiomyocytes. Cardiomyocytes were cultured with the ketone body beta-hydroxybutyrate (beta-OHB) for 4 or 16 h, and insulin-stimulated glucose uptake was evaluated. Although short-term exposure to ketone bodies was not associated with any change in insulin action, our data demonstrated that preincubation with beta-OHB for 16 h markedly reduced insulin-stimulated glucose uptake in cardiomyocytes. This effect is concentration dependent and persists for at least 6 h after the removal of beta-OHB from the media. Ketone bodies also decreased the stimulatory effect of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and pervanadate on glucose uptake. This diminution could not be explained by a change in either GLUT-1 or GLUT-4 protein content in cardiomyocytes. Chronic exposure to beta-OHB was associated with impaired protein kinase B activation in response to insulin and pervanadate. These results indicate that prolonged exposure to ketone bodies altered insulin action in cardiomyocytes and suggest that this substrate could play a role in the development of insulin resistance in the heart.

Abstract
Several peroxovanadium(V) complexes were prepared with a tripodal or a quasi-tripodal tetradentate ligand. The structures of K(2)[VO(O(2))(nta)].2H(2)O and K[VO(O(2))(DL-cmhist)].H(2)O have been determined by X-ray crystallography (nta, nitrilotriacetate; cmhist, N-carboxymethylhistidinate). The structure of Cs[VO(O(2))(pda)].2H(2)O (pda, N-pyridylmethyliminodiacetate) has been estimated to be similar to that of K[VO(O(2))(DL-cmhist)].H(2)O. Each complex anion in these compounds adopts a distorted pentagonal bipyramidal structure, which is typical for heptacoordinate oxoperoxovanadium(V) complexes. The peroxide ion binds in a side-on fashion to the vanadium(V) center in the pentagonal plane. The peroxide anion in the cmhist complex dissociates rather easily in an acidic solution (pH approximately 3), while that in the other complexes stays intact under similar conditions. The in vitro insulin mimetic effect of the peroxovanadium(V) complexes has been evaluated by the inhibitory effect on free fatty acid (FFA) release in isolated rat adipocytes treated with epinephrine. The cmhist complex is effective, while the others are almost totally ineffective.

Abstract
The effect of vanadate (V) alone, magnesium (Mg) alone, and the combination of Mg plus V (MgV) on insulin-mediated glucose disposal and glucose tolerance was investigated in normal and streptozotocin-induced diabetic rats. MgV, magnesium sulfate (MgSO4) and sodium metavanadate (NaV) were added to the drinking water of normal or diabetic rats (approximately 300 g) for 3 weeks. After 3 weeks of V treatment (both MgV and NaV), diabetic rats demonstrated a normal meal tolerance test without any increase in the plasma insulin response. Rats also received a euglycemic insulin clamp (12 mU/kg x min for 120 minutes) with 3-3H-glucose infusion to quantify total body glucose disposal, glycolysis (3H2O production), and glycogen synthesis (total body glucose disposal minus glycolysis). Total glucose disposal was decreased in diabetic versus control rats (29 +/- 2 v 35 +/- 2 mg/kg x min, P < .01) and returned to levels greater than the nondiabetic control values after MgV (41 +/- 2, P < .01). Supersensitivity to insulin was not observed in diabetic rats treated with NaV (34 +/- 1). Glycogen synthesis was increased by both MgV and NaV treatment (23 +/- 21, P < .01 and 18 +/- 1, P < .05 v 14 +/- 2 mg/kg x min) in diabetic rats. A small increase in glycolysis was observed in MgSO4 and MgV rats (18 +/- 1 and 18 +/- 1 v 16 +/- 1, P < .05). NaV alone had no effect on glycolysis. Thus, Mg has a synergistic effect with V to increase muscle glycogen synthesis in diabetic rats. In normal rats, neither MgSO4 nor NaV had any effect on glucose utilization. However, MgV increased glucose disposal to rates that were significantly higher than the rate in untreated control rats (P < .05). Based on these results, MgV is superior to either V alone or Mg alone in improving insulin sensitivity and glycogen synthesis in diabetic rats.

Abstract
There is growing evidence for the role of protein tyrosine phosphatases in controlling such fundamental cellular processes as growth and differentiation. Pervanadate is a potent inhibitor of protein tyrosine phosphatase which has been observed here to induce proliferation in C3H10T1/2 mouse fibroblasts. Pervanadate also translocated/activated p42/44 mitogen-activated protein (MAP) kinase to the cell nucleus. An almost similar pattern of nuclear p42/44 MAP kinase stimulation is seen with TPA. On the other hand, TPA treatment results in a rapid activation of cytosolic MAP kinase which declines with time. Thus pervanadate appears as a very useful tool for studying tyrosine phosphorylation.

Abstract
Vanadate and pervanadate (the complexes of vanadate with hydrogen peroxide) are two commonly used general protein-tyrosine phosphatase (PTP) inhibitors. These compounds also have insulin-mimetic properties, an observation that has generated a great deal of interest and study. Since a careful kinetic study of the two inhibitors has been lacking, we sought to analyze their mechanisms of inhibition. Our results show that vanadate is a competitive inhibitor for the protein-tyrosine phosphatase PTP1B, with a Ki of 0.38+/-0.02 microM. EDTA, which is known to chelate vanadate, causes an immediate and complete reversal of the inhibition due to vanadate when added to an enzyme assay. Pervanadate, by contrast, inhibits by irreversibly oxidizing the catalytic cysteine of PTP1B, as determined by mass spectrometry. Reducing agents such as dithiothreitol that are used in PTP assays to keep the catalytic cysteine reduced and active were found to convert pervanadate rapidly to vanadate. Under certain conditions, slow time-dependent inactivation by vanadate was observed; since catalase blocked this inactivation, it was ascribed to in situ generation of hydrogen peroxide and subsequent formation of pervanadate. Implications for the use of these compounds as inhibitors and rationalization for some of their in vivo effects are considered.

Abstract
The direct impact of vanadate, tungstate, selenate, and selenite on glucose metabolism of isolated rat soleus muscle was investigated. All compounds stimulated glucose transport, but only vanadate exerted an insulin-like effect on glycogen synthesis (mumol glucose into glycogen*g-1*h-1: control 1.43 +/- 0.11 vs. 1 mmol/l vanadate, 2.08 +/- 0.11, p < 0.0001), which was more distinct in the presence of 1 mmol/l H2O2 (control, 1.44 +/- 0.13 vs. 1 mmol/l vanadate, 3.49 +/- 0.12, p < 0.001). Glucose handling of muscles exposed to tungstate, selenate, or selenite resembled that of hypoxic muscle, i.e. the induced rise in glucose uptake was inhibited by dantrolene and associated with high rates of glycolysis and rapid glycogen depletion (glycogen content after incubation, mumol glucosyl units/g: control, 16.2 +/- 0.7 vs. hypoxia, 2.7 +/- 0.5, p < 0.0001; control, 17.0 +/- 0.5 vs. 100 mmol/l tungstate, 5.5 +/- 0.4, p < 0.001; control, 16.2 +/- 0.7 vs. 100 mmol/l selenate, 1.5 +/- 0.3, and vs. 300 mumol/l selenite, 1.7 +/- 0.3, p < 0.0001 each). The results suggest that vanadate (and more pronounced it's peroxides) exerts true insulin-like action on isolated muscle glucose metabolism, whereas tungsten and selenium salts trigger glucose transport in association with a catabolic response, which may represent an unspecific response to toxic/osmotic stress.

Abstract
When used alone, both vanadate and hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) are weakly insulin-mimetic, while in combination they are strongly synergistic due to the formation of aqueous peroxovanadium species pV(aq). Administration of these pV(aq) species leads to activation of the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase (IRK), autophosphorylation at tyrosine residues and inhibition of phosphotyrosine phosphatases (PTPs). We therefore undertook to synthesize a series of peroxovanadium (pV) compounds containing one or two peroxo anions, an oxo anion and an ancillary ligand in the inner co-ordination sphere of vanadium, whose properties and insulin-mimetic potencies could be assessed. These pV compounds were shown to be the most potent inhibitors of PTPs yet described. Their PTP inhibitory potency correlated with their capacity to stimulate IRK activity. Some pV compounds showed much greater potency as inhibitors of insulin receptor (IR) dephosphorylation than epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) dephosphorylation, implying relative specificity as PTP inhibitors. Replacement of vanadium with either molybdenum or tungsten resulted in equally potent inhibition of IR dephosphorylation. However IRK activation was reduced by greater than 80% suggesting that these compounds did not access intracellular PTPs. The insulin-like activity of these pV compounds were demonstrable in vivo. Intra venous (i.v.) administration of bpV(pic) and bpV(phen) resulted in the lowering of plasma glucose concentrations in normal rats in a dose dependent manner. The greater potency of bpV(pic) compared to bpV(phen) was explicable, in part, by the capacity of the former but not the latter to act on skeletal muscle as well as liver. Finally administration of bpV(phen) and insulin led to a synergism, where tyrosine phosphorylation of the IR beta-subunit increased by 20-fold and led to the appearance of four insulin-dependent in vivo substrates. The insulin-mimetic properties of the pV compounds raises the possibility for their use as insulin replacements in the management of diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
Resistance to the biological action of insulin in its target tissues is a cardinal feature of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Protein-tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) have been postulated to play a key role in the regulation of the insulin action pathway, especially in skeletal muscle, the major site of insulin-mediated glucose disposal in vivo. To evaluate whether changes in the activity and/or abundance of candidate skeletal muscle PTPases is associated with severe resistance to insulin in an animal model, we measured PTPase enzyme activity and PTPase protein level by immunoblotting in subcellular fractions of skeletal muscle in lean (+/?), insulin-resistant obese (fa/fa), and diabetic (ZDF/Drt-fa/fa) Zucker rats. Using a phosphotyrosylmyelin basic protein substrate, the solubilized-particulate fraction PTPase activity was increased by 65% and 74% (P < .05) and in vitro dephosphorylation of a recombinant rat insulin receptor kinase domain was increased by 104% and 114% in obese and diabetic animals, respectively (P < .01). These changes in PTPase activity were associated with an increase in specific immunoreactivity of leukocyte common antigen-related PTPase ([LAR] by 42% and 50%), PTPase 1B (by 61% and 69%), and the SHZ domain containing PTPase (SH-PTP2) (by 44% and 48%) in the solubilized-particulate fraction of obese and diabetic animals, respectively (P < .05). In diabetic muscle, increased SH-PTP2 abundance was also associated with a shift of SH-PTP2 to a plasma membrane component, which may have important consequences for the activation of this enzyme in the insulin-resistant state. These results provide evidence that specific PTPases play a role in the insulin resistance of this genetic model of obesity and non-insulin-dependent diabetes.

Abstract
Recent studies indicate that oxyanions, such as vanadate (V) or vanadyl (IV), cause insulin-like effects on rats by stimulating the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase. Tungstate (VI) and molybdate (VI) show the same effects on rat adipocytes and hepatocytes. Results of uncontrolled trials on volunteers accumulated in Japan also suggest that tungstate effectively regulates diabetes mellitus without detectable side effects. Since these oxyanions naturally exist in organisms, oxyanion therapy, the oral administration of vanadate, vanadyl, molybdate, or tungstate, can be considered to be orthomolecular medicine. Therefore, these oxyanions may provide a viable alternative to chemotherapy. Many diseases in addition to diabetes mellitus might also be treated since the implication of these results is that tyrosine kinases are involved in a variety of diseases.

Abstract
The effects of peroxovanadate or tungstate on 3-O-methylglucose uptake were characterized using isolated rat adipocytes to elucidate the mechanism(s) of their actions. The stimulatory effect of peroxovanadate was observed from 1 mumol/L and reached the maximum at about 100 mumol/L. The concentration showing the half-maximal effect was approximately 16 mumol/L. The maximal response of peroxovanadate was 1.19 times higher than that of insulin significantly (P < 0.01). On the other hand, the stimulatory effect of tungstate was seen only at the higher concentrations of 10-30 mmol/L. Judging from the experiments using different tungsten compounds, tungstic acid (WO4(2-)) appeared responsible for the effect. The effects of 20 mmol/L tungstate and 20 nmol/L insulin were not additive. The stimulatory effects of 1 mmol/L peroxovanadate, 20 mmol/L tungstate or 20 nmol/L insulin were not seen in the adipocytes deprived of ATP by exposure to 2 mmol/L KCN. The adipocytes which had been stimulated with insulin and further exposed to 2 mmol/L KCN were used to test whether or not peroxovanadate works directly on the function of glucose transporters. In such cells on which GLUT4-rich transporters were rendered immobile, the effect of peroxovanadate was not observed. These results indicate that the effects of peroxovanadate or tungstate are ATP or energy dependent and may be exerted through the mechanism analogous to that of insulin action, and suggest that peroxovanadate does not directly activate the function of GLUT4.

Abstract
Rapid tyrosine phosphorylation of key cellular proteins is a crucial event in the transduction of activation signals to T-lymphocytes. The regulatory role of protein tyrosine phosphatases (PTPases) in this process was explored by studying the effects of a powerful PTPase inhibitor, vanadate peroxide (pervanadate), on the activation cascade of Jurkat human leukaemic T-cells. Pervanadate induced activation of the tyrosine kinases lck and fyn (4- and 3-fold respectively) and a dramatic increase in tyrosine phosphorylation of cellular proteins, notably phospholipase C gamma 1. After this event, we observed a rise in intracellular Ca2+ concentration, corresponding to an influx. This effect required surface expression of the CD45 PTPase and was not observed in CD45-deficient variants of Jurkat cells. In the CD45-negative variant, the effect of pervanadate on tyrosine phosphorylation was globally decreased and some phosphorylated substrates were specifically missing. Pervanadate also stimulated transcription of the c-fos gene and accumulation of its mRNA as well as several other hallmarks of T-lymphocyte activation such as surface expression of the CD69 antigen and the interleukin 2 receptor alpha-chain (CD25). Pervanadate synergized with signals delivered by T-cell antigen receptor engagement or by a phorbol ester to induce interleukin 2 production. Pervanadate activated NF-kappa B, as shown by an increase in DNA-binding activity of this transcription factor. We thus conclude that PTPases play a crucial role in the negative regulation of signal transduction culminating in T-lymphocyte activation. Moreover, induction of tyrosine phosphorylation appears sufficient per se to initiate a complete activation programme.

Abstract
Sodium orthovanadate is known to promote glucose uptake in muscle and adipose tissues and has been suggested as a possible oral hypoglycemic agent. In addition, insulin-dependent diabetes has been shown to alter the hepatobiliary clearance of several drugs in rats. This study has determined whether orthovanadate, like insulin, can reverse diabetes-induced changes in the biliary excretion of endogenous bile acids and in the hepatobiliary clearance of rose bengal. Six groups of male Sprague-Dawley rats were used; normal, insulin-treated normal, vanadate-treated normal, diabetic, insulin-treated diabetic, and vanadate-treated diabetic. Diabetes was induced by injection of streptozotocin (45 mg/kg, i.v.). One week later, insulin (2-4 U/day, s.c.) and sodium orthovanadate (877 +/- 82 mumol/kg/day, p.o.) treatments were initiated. After 4 weeks, the clearance and biliary excretion of rose bengal (60 mumol/kg, i.v.) were determined for 3 hr. Bile flow rate, rose bengal excretion, and excretion of endogenous bile acids were unchanged in the two treated normal groups and in the insulin-treated diabetic rats. These parameters were increased in untreated diabetic and vanadate-treated diabetic rats as compared with normal. Pharmacokinetic analyses indicated that total and biliary clearances of rose bengal were increased in diabetic rats and that orthovanadate did not reverse these changes. However, liver weight and serum glucose concentrations were reduced by orthovanadate treatment. These data indicate that the oral insulinomimetic chemical sodium orthovanadate effectively reversed some, but not all, of the diabetes-induced alterations of hepatic function.

Abstract
Vanadate and peroxovanadate were recently reported to exert maximal or even supramaximal (peroxovanadate) insulin-like effects in rat adipocytes. To evaluate the response in human cells, isolated human adipocytes were exposed to insulin or various concentrations of vanadate (0-10 mmol/l) or peroxovanadate (0-5 mmol/l). Neither vanadate nor peroxovanadate affected 125I-insulin binding and insulin sensitivity. Vanadate exerted no apparent effect on 14C-U-glucose uptake, whereas 0.1 mmol/l peroxovanadate exerted a full insulin-like response (p < 0.001). No additive response was observed by combining either vanadate or peroxovanadate with insulin. Peroxovanadate at 0.1 mmol/l was as effective as insulin in inhibiting isoproterenol-stimulated lipolysis. Neither peroxovanadate nor insulin-inhibited lipolysis stimulated by N6-monobutyryl-cAMP, an analogue which is not hydrolysed by the cAMP-phosphodiesterase. It is concluded that peroxovanadate, but not vanadate, elicits a full insulin-like response in human adipocytes.

Abstract
The effect of molybdate, tungstate, molybdate plus H2O2 or tungstate plus H2O2 on 3-O-methylglucose (3-O-MG) uptake was studied in isolated rat adipocytes to investigate whether these agents possess an insulin-like action. High concentrations (10-30 mM) of molybdate or tungstate significantly stimulated the uptake of 3-O-MG while 1 mM of the metaloxides did not. The combination of 1 mM molybdate and 1 mM H2O2, or 1 mM tungstate and 1 mM H2O2 induced striking stimulation of the uptake of 3-O-MG in a synergistic manner, whereas 1 mM H2O2 alone showed only a small effect. The effect of metaloxides plus H2O2 (1 mM) and the effect of insulin (20 nM) were not additive, and both effects were ATP or energy dependent based on experiments using KCN. These results indicate that a weak insulin-like effect of molybdate or tungstate is potentiated synergistically with H2O2, presumably by producing peroxocompounds. Based on the present findings, these new agents may be useful for investigating the mechanism of insulin action and may indicate a new class of drugs for diabetes mellitus.
