Inner ester derivatives of gangliosides protect autonomic nerves of alloxan-diabetic rats against Na+, K(+)-ATPase activity defects.
    Diabetes research and clinical practice, 1991, Volume: 12, Issue:2

    Bovine brain gangliosides have been shown to prevent decay in Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in sciatic and optic nerves of alloxan- and streptozotocin-diabetic rats. In the search for a drug with greater bioavailability and increased incorporation into neural tissue, ganglioside inner ester derivatives (AGF1) were recently developed. We evaluated the effect of AGF1 treatment on Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity in homogenates of vagus nerve from alloxan-diabetic rats (100 mg/kg s.c.). Animals were treated with AGF1: 10 mg/kg 6 days/week i.p., or 30 mg/kg biweekly i.p. Treatment began 10 d post-alloxan and continued for 8 consecutive weeks. Normal age- and sex-matched rats were used as controls. Alloxan intoxication produced a 39% decrease in Na+,K(+)-ATPase activity of the vagus nerve, which was completely restored (96-97% recovery) by both AGF1 regimes. Results suggest that ganglioside inner ester derivatives may be used in the clinical setting for the management of diabetic autonomic neuropathy.
