    D-glucose in the pyranose (ring) form exists as two anomers. The alpha-anomer is more effective than the beta-anomer in promoting insulin secretion, suppressing that of glucagon, and protecting beta-cells against alloxan toxicity. Streptozotocin (SZ), a beta cell toxin, is composed of a cytotoxic moiety, 1-methyl 1-nitrosourea, attached to carbon-2 of glucose and exists as either of two anomers in the pyranose form. In 24-hour-fasted male rats, predominantly alpha- or predominantly beta-SZ was injected intravenously and plasma glucose levels were obtained 48 hours later. The alpha-anomer produced significantly greater beta-cell necrosis at doses of 30, 35, and 40 mg./kg. body weight. At higher doses, no differences between the alpha and beta anomers were observed. 3-O-Methyl glucose (3-OMG) protected against both SZ anomers; however, the alpha-SZ remained more toxic. Larger doses of glucose protected against the lower doses of SZ and, under such conditions, the individual glucose anomers appeared equally potent. Finally, mannitol at comparable molar concentrations was ineffective in protecting against the SZ toxicity. This study suggests that streptozotocin's beta cell toxicity is mediated through recognition by the beta cell. In addition, 3-OMG and, to a lesser but significant extent, glucose were shown to protect against the streptozotocin toxicity, whereas mannitol did not.
