1 8930308 We have previously reported that chronic elevation of insulin in the CNS of rats results in opposing changes of the mRNA expression for the norepinephrine transporter (NET; decreased) and the dopamine transporter (DAT; increased).
2 8930308 In the present study we tested the hypothesis that a chronic depletion of insulin would result in opposite changes of NET and DAT mRNA expression, from those observed with chronic elevation of insulin.
3 8930308 In the diabetic animals, NET mRNA was significantly elevated (159 +/- 22% of average control level) while DAT mRNA was non-significantly decreased (78 +/- 9% of average control level).
4 11147788 Allelic variation in the size of the insulin (INS) variable number tandem repeat (VNTR) correlates with the expression of both INS in the pancreas and thymus and IGF2 (the gene downstream of INS) in the placenta.
5 18155695 Experimentally-induced diabetes can modify the behavioral and neurochemical effects of drugs acting on dopamine systems, possibly through insulin-related regulation of dopamine transporter activity.
