Abstract
Insulin tightly regulates glucose levels within a narrow range through its action on muscle, adipose tissue and the liver. The activation of insulin receptors activates multiple intracellular pathways with different functions. Another tightly regulated complex system in the body is acid-base balance. Metabolic acidosis, defined as a blood pH < 7.35 and serum bicarbonate < 22 mmol/L, has clear pathophysiologic consequences including an effect on insulin action. With the ongoing intake of typical acid-producing Western diets and the age-related decline in renal function, there is an increase in acid levels within the range considered to be normal. This modest increase in acidosis is referred to as "acid stress" and it may have some pathophysiological consequences. In this article, we discuss the effects of acid stress on insulin actions in different tissues.

Abstract
Baking soda and vinegar have been used as home remedies for generations and today we are only a mouse-click away from claims that baking soda, lemon juice, and apple cider vinegar are miracles cures for everything from cancer to COVID-19. Despite these specious claims, the therapeutic value of controlling acid-base balance is indisputable and is the basis of Food and Drug Administration-approved treatments for constipation, epilepsy, metabolic acidosis, and peptic ulcers. In this narrative review, we present evidence in support of the current and potential therapeutic value of countering local and systemic acid-base imbalances, several of which do in fact involve the administration of baking soda (sodium bicarbonate). Furthermore, we discuss the side effects of pharmaceuticals on acid-base balance as well as the influence of acid-base status on the pharmacokinetic properties of drugs. Our review considers all major organ systems as well as information relevant to several clinical specialties such as anesthesiology, infectious disease, oncology, dentistry, and surgery.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Biosynthetic human recombinant short-acting insulin is added to parenteral nutrition (PN) admixtures to nourish glucose-intolerant patients. Insulin, however, is electrostatically attracted and inactivated by ethyl-vinyl-acetate (EVA) bags and filling system tubes. Our aim was to verify and quantify the presence of insulin in PN with and without intravenous lipid emulsion (ILE), just after addition (T0) until the infusion's end (T24). METHODS Four undiluted samples of 12 different PN complete admixtures (6 with ILE and 6 without), each containing 250 g of glucose in a 2000 mL volume, were taken and analyzed at T0 and T24 by an automated electrochemiluminescence immunoassay after the addition of biosynthetic human recombinant short-acting insulin at increasing doses (from 6 to 72 IU/bag) by an automated compounding device. Assay sensitivity was set at 2 μIU/mL. Admixtures with and without ILE were compared in terms of insulin-detected amounts at T0 and T24. RESULTS Regardless of the amount initially provided, insulin was missing in PN without ILE. In admixtures with ILE, the greater the insulin and ILE doses initially included, the higher the insulin availability at T0 and T24, both in absolute terms and as a percentage of the initial amount (from 3 to 81% at T0 and from 2.5 to 72.5% at T24). ILE may prevent insulin attraction to plastic surfaces. CONCLUSIONS Insulin is recovered in the presence of ILE in PN even though considerable amounts are untraceable. This aspect needs verification. Until then, insulin should safely be injected in a different manner in uncontrolled situations.

Abstract
Insulin receptor (IR) signaling is critical to controlling nutrient uptake and metabolism. However, only a low-resolution (3.8 Å) structure currently exists for the IR ectodomain, with some segments ill-defined or unmodeled due to disorder. Here, we revise this structure using new diffraction data to 3.3 Å resolution that allow improved modeling of the N-linked glycans, the first and third fibronectin type III domains, and the insert domain. A novel haptic interactive molecular dynamics strategy was used to aid fitting to low-resolution electron density maps. The resulting model provides a foundation for investigation of structural transitions in IR upon ligand binding.

Abstract
H2 relaxin, a member of the insulin superfamily, binds to the G-protein-coupled receptor RXFP1 (relaxin family peptide 1), a receptor that belongs to the leucine-rich repeat (LRR)-containing subgroup (LGRs) of class A GPCRs. We recently demonstrated negative cooperativity in INSL3 binding to RXFP2 and showed that this subgroup of GPCRs functions as constitutive dimers. In this work, we investigated whether the binding of H2 relaxin to RXFP1 also shows negative cooperativity, and whether this receptor functions as a dimer using BRET(2). Both binding and dissociation were temperature dependent, and the pH optimum for binding was pH 7.0. Our results showed that RXFP1 is a constitutive dimer with negative cooperativity in ligand binding, that dimerization occurs through the 7TM domain, and that the ectodomain has a stabilizing effect on this interaction. Dimerization and negative cooperativity appear to be general properties of LGRs involved in reproduction as well as other GPCRs.

Abstract
Protonation/deprotonation equilibria are frequently linked to binding processes involving proteins. The presence of these thermodynamically linked equilibria affects the observable thermodynamic parameters of the interaction (K(obs), DeltaH(obs)(0) ). In order to try and elucidate the energetic factors that govern these binding processes, a complete thermodynamic characterisation of each intrinsic equilibrium linked to the complexation event is needed and should furthermore be correlated to structural information. We present here a detailed study, using NMR and ITC, of the interaction between alpha-chymotrypsin and one of its competitive inhibitors, proflavin. By performing proflavin titrations of the enzyme, at different pH values, we were able to highlight by NMR the effect of the complexation of the inhibitor on the ionisable residues of the catalytic triad of the enzyme. Using ITC we determined the intrinsic thermodynamic parameters of the different equilibria linked to the binding process. The possible driving forces of the interaction between alpha-chymotrypsin and proflavin are discussed in the light of the experimental data and on the basis of a model of the complex. This study emphasises the complementarities between ITC and NMR for the study of binding processes involving protonation/deprotonation equilibria.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To elucidate the functional characteristics of a highly purified soluble liver insulin receptor in cats. SAMPLE POPULATION Frozen livers from domestic cats were obtained commercially. PROCEDURES The feline hepatic insulin receptor was purified from Triton X-100 solubilized plasma membranes by the use of several chromatography matrices, including affinity chromatography on an insulin-Sepharose matrix. RESULTS The receptor, although not homogeneous, was purified 3,000-fold. Two silver-stained protein bands were identified following sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) with molecular weight of 134,000 and 97,000, which are similar to insulin receptors isolated from other animals. This isolated receptor had steady-state insulin binding by 40 minutes at 24 C. Optimal insulin binding occurred at pH 7.8 and with 150 mM NaCl. Under these conditions, a curvilinear Scatchard plot was obtained with the isolated receptor. Using a 2 binding-site model, the feline insulin receptor had a high-affinity low-capacity site with a dissociation constant (KD; nM) of 3 and a low-affinity high-capacity site with a K(D) of 1,180. The receptor also had tyrosine kinase activity toward an exogenous substrate that was stimulated by insulin and protamine. CONCLUSIONS AND CLINICAL RELEVANCE Many of the reported characteristics of the liver insulin receptor in cats are similar to those for the receptor isolated from other animals and tissues, although some differences exist. These similarities suggest that characterization of the feline insulin receptor is important to understanding insulin resistance in cats with diabetes as well as in humans with diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Primary aldosteronism is a recognized endocrine cause of glucose intolerance. A blunted insulin response to glucose in patients with primary aldosteronism is well known, but insulin sensitivity has not been thoroughly determined. We investigated insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion in patients with aldosterone producing adenoma. DESIGN Glucose tolerance and insulin responses to glucose were evaluated using a standard 75 g oral glucose tolerance test in patients with aldosterone producing adenoma before and after surgery, and in control subjects. Parameters for insulin resistance (HOMA-R) and pancreatic beta-cell function (HOMA-beta F) were derived from a homeostasis model assessment. PATIENTS Fifteen patients with aldosterone producing adenoma and 41 control subjects with normal glucose tolerance matched for age and body mass index, were studied. Eight patients were re-evaluated after surgical removal of the adenoma. In 5 patients 125I-insulin binding to erythrocytes was also measured. MEASUREMENTS Plasma glucose was measured by a glucose oxidase method. Plasma insulin, aldosterone and renin activity were measured by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS Both fasting plasma glucose and insulin were lower in the patients than in the controls. Although the areas under the curve for plasma glucose during the oral glucose tolerance test did not differ, that for plasma insulin was less in the patients with hyperaldosteronism. Insulin sensitivity was increased in the patients, as evidenced by decreased HOMA-R compared with controls, while HOMA-beta F was comparable between the groups. 125I-insulin binding to erythrocytes was higher in 5 patients than in 19 normal controls. After surgical removal of adenoma, neither fasting plasma glucose nor the glucose area under the curve during the oral glucose tolerance test changed. However, fasting plasma insulin and the insulin area under the curve increased significantly. HOMA-R increased and HOMA-beta F remained unaltered. CONCLUSION Insulin sensitivity was increased in untreated patients with aldosterone producing adenoma. Enhanced insulin receptor binding may contribute to this increased insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
The degradation of insulin in isolated liver endosomes and the relationships of this process with ATP-dependent endosomal acidification have been studied. Incubation of endosomal fractions containing 125I-insulin in isotonic KCl at 30 degrees C resulted in a rapid loss of insulin integrity as judged from trichloroacetic acid precipitability, Sephadex G-50 chromatography, immunoreactivity and receptor binding ability, with a maximum at pH 5-6 (t1/2: 10, 10, 6 and 6 min, respectively). On a log/log plot, the amount of acid-soluble products generated was linearly related to the amount of insulin associated with endosomes (slope, 0.80). Upon incubation, virtually all acid-soluble products diffused out of endosomes as judged from their solubility in aqueous poly(ethyleneglycol). In permeabilized endosomes, intact insulin was also released in part extraluminally, but only when degradation was inhibited did this release increase with lowering pH. ATP shifted the pH for maximal insulin degradation to about 7.5-8.5 and caused endosomal acidification as judged from the uptake of acridine orange and the fluorescence of internalized fluorescein-labeled dextran and galactosylated bovine serum albumin (delta pH about 0.8-0.9). GTP, ITP and UTP exerted comparable effects but with lower potencies. The ability of ATP to alter the pH dependence of insulin degradation was maximal in the presence of Cl-, other anions being less effective (Br- greater than gluconate = SO4(2-) greater than NO3- = sucrose = mannitol) and/or inhibitory (NO3-). Na+, K+ and Li+ supported more effectively ATP-dependent insulin degradation than did choline. Divalent cations were required for the ATP effect (Mg2+ = Mn2+ greater than Co2+ greater than Ni2+ = Zn2 greater than Ca2+). Little or no effects of ATP occurred in the presence of proton ionophores such as monensin and carbonyl cyanide chlorophenylhydrazone, and inhibitors of the proton ATPase such as N-ethylmaleimide. The abilities of nucleotides, ions and inhibitors to support or inhibit ATP-dependent insulin degradation were well correlated with their abilities to affect ATP-dependent acidification. The acidotropic agents chloroquine and quinacrine caused a leftward shift in the pH dependence of insulin degradation and a decrease in maximal degradation; in the presence of ATP, chloroquine almost completely inhibited degradation at pH 5-9. It is concluded that ATP-dependent acidification, in part by enhancing the dissociation of the insulin-receptor complex, is required for optimum degradation of insulin within liver endosomes.

Abstract
The determinants of the altered glucoregulation in acidosis were investigated in anesthetized dogs. Because CO2 rapidly equilibrates and its effects are mediated by pH changes, CO2 inhalation was examined. Plasma acid-base composition, glucose, insulin, glucagon, and blood flows were evaluated before and after an intravenous glucose load (1.2 +/- 0.1 g/kg body wt) in normal and acidotic dogs with flow probes and catheters chronically implanted in the portal circulation. A simultaneous infusion of phentolamine (5 micrograms.kg-1.min-1), propranolol (3.5 micrograms.kg-1.min-1), both, or none was used. All acidemic dogs had lower hepatic extraction of insulin and greater hyperglycemia after the glucose challenge; thus the adrenergic system is not critical for these responses. Because arterial insulin levels were either normal (propranolol) or increased (all others) in acidosis, insulin resistance was likely. Insulin infusion (2 and 4 mU.kg-1.min-1) with euglycemic clamp and [3-3H]glucose documented that acidemia decreases peripheral glucose utilization and the insulin suppression of hepatic glucose production. Acidemia also enhances plasma glucagon levels, yet this effect plays a limited role in the observed hyperglycemia.

Abstract
The bimolecular binding reaction between mono[TyrA14-125I]iodoinsulin and the insulin receptor was investigated at 37 degrees C in intact isolated rat adipocytes in which membrane traffic was inhibited by 1 mM KCN. This treatment decreased the fraction of cell-associated radioactivity resistant to treatment at pH 3 (usually regarded as internalized ligand) from 70% to 17%. The total amount of tracer being cell-associated at steady state was reduced to about half of the control value partly because of a decreased apparent binding affinity. The t1/2 for the forward reaction was reduced from 414 s in the control cell to 26 s in the KCN treated cell. Likewise, the t1/2 for the dissociation was reduced from 461 s to 67 s. Both rate constants were pH sensitive, the association rate constant being 7-8-fold more than the dissociation rate constant. Since both rate constants for the bimolecular reaction were one order of magnitude greater than those for the uptake and the release of label in the untreated cell, other processes than binding constitute the rate-limiting step(s) in the cellular reaction with insulin.

Abstract
The relative molar potencies of covalently and reversibly-bound insulin-receptor complexes were studied as a function of pH. The insulin derivatives used were 125I-B2 (2-nitro-4-azidophenylacetyl)des-PheB1-insulin and 125I-B29(2-nitro-4-azidophenylacetyl)des-PheB1-insulin. The potencies of both types of reversible complexes were effectively identical and constant between pH 7 and 8. The relative potency of the covalent B2-complex increased from 25 to 75%, and of the covalent B29 complex from 30 to nearly 100%. This indicates that the covalently linked partners in the complex are able to flex about the cross-linkages. Variations in the potency are due to variations in the number of correctly associated, reversibly or covalently bound insulin-receptor complexes. The form of the pH dependance suggests that an ionizable group, possibly an amino group, must be deprotonated to allow effective interaction.
