چکیده
OBJECTIVE The Cohen diabetes-sensitive rat develops postprandial hyperglycemia when fed a high-sucrose, copper-poor diet, whereas the Cohen diabetes-resistant rat maintains normoglycemia. The pathophysiological basis of diabetes was studied in the Cohen diabetic rat centering on the interplay between the exocrine and endocrine compartments of the pancreas. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Studies used male Cohen diabetes-sensitive and Cohen diabetes-resistant rats fed 1-month high-sucrose, copper-poor diet. Serum insulin and glucose levels were measured during glucose and insulin tolerance tests. The pancreas was evaluated for weight, insulin content, macrophage, and fat infiltration. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS) was determined in isolated perfused pancreas and in islets. RESULTS Hyperglycemic Cohen diabetes-sensitive rats exhibited reduced pancreatic weight with lipid deposits and interleukin-1beta-positive macrophage infiltration in the exocrine pancreas. Islet morphology was preserved, and total pancreatic insulin content did not differ from that of Cohen diabetes-resistant rats. Lipids did not accumulate in skeletal muscle, nor was insulin resistance observed in hyperglycemic Cohen diabetes-sensitive rats. Intravenous glucose-tolerance test revealed markedly elevated glucose levels associated with diminished insulin output. Insulin release was induced in vivo by the non-nutrient secretagogues arginine and tolbutamide, suggesting a selective unresponsiveness to glucose. Decreased GSIS was observed in the isolated perfused pancreas of the hyperglycemic Cohen diabetes-sensitive rat, whereas islets isolated from these rats exhibited glucose-dependent insulin secretion and proinsulin biosynthesis. CONCLUSIONS The association of the in vivo insulin secretory defect with lipid accumulation and activated macrophage infiltration in the exocrine pancreas suggests that changes in the islet microenvironment are the culprit in the insulin secretory malfunction observed in vivo.

Background: Glucokinase serves as a glucose sensor in pancreatic β-cells and plays a key role in glucose homeostasis and glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS). In the present study we examined the effect of glucosamine, a glucokinase inhibitor, on the pancreatic glucokinase and hexokinase activities and on insulin secretion from freshly rat pancreatic islets of Langerhans. Insulin concen...

Background: Sulfonylurea agents such as Glibenclamide (Glyburide) have been widely prescribe in treatment of type 2 diabetic patients for decades, but controversy remains about their precise mechanism of action. On the other hand, glucokinase serves as a glucose sensor in pancreatic β-cells and plays a key role in the regulation of insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis. The aim of the pres...
متن کاملAge-associated changes in pancreatic exocrine secretion of the isolated perfused rat pancreas
Gut functions, such as gastrointestinal motility, gastric secretion and pancreatic secretion, were reduced with age. Glucose tolerance is impaired, and the release of insulin and β-cell's sensitivity on glucose are reduced with age. However, a lot of controversial data have been reported as insulin concentrations after glucose ingestion are either higher or no different in elderly and young sub...
