Effect of Bisphenol-A on insulin signal transduction and glucose oxidation in liver of adult male albino rat

Highlights ► In our work, Bisphenol-A (BPA) treatment significantly decreased the glucose oxidation whereas the fasting blood glucose was unaffected, but decreased the glycogen concentration. ► BPA treatment resulted in hyperinsulinemia but decreased the serum testosterone. ► Levels of IR, Akt, and...

Zusammenfassung:Highlights ► In our work, Bisphenol-A (BPA) treatment significantly decreased the glucose oxidation whereas the fasting blood glucose was unaffected, but decreased the glycogen concentration. ► BPA treatment resulted in hyperinsulinemia but decreased the serum testosterone. ► Levels of IR, Akt, and p-Akt(ser 473) proteins were impaired. ► BPA treatment significantly increased the GLUT2 mRNA as well as cytosolic and plasma membrane GLUT2 level. ► It is concluded that Bisphenol-A treatment impairs hepatic glucose oxidation through defective insulin signal transduction, but enhanced the expression of GLUT2.
