Abstract
Adult F1 hybrids of male GK and female Wistar control rats exhibit mild, spontaneous non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus characterized by impaired glucose-induced insulin secretion. Using isolated pancreatic islets of hybrid rats, we first studied whether impaired glucose-induced insulin response is present not only in adult but also in neonatal rats. Furthermore, we investigated whether the impaired glucose-induced insulin response can be restored by long-term normalization of glycemia. Both 1-week- and 2- to 3-month-old hybrid rats had similar body weights but increased fed blood glucose levels (P < 0.05) compared with age-matched control rats. At 5.5 mmol/l glucose, insulin release was two- to threefold lower in isolated islets of hybrid than in control rats of both age groups (P < 0.05). At 16.7 mmol/l glucose, insulin secretion from hybrid islets was approximately 25% of that from control islets of both 1-week- and 2- to 3-month-old rats. For the second objective, batches of 250 islets from hybrid or control rats were transplanted under the kidney capsule of athymic, normoglycemic nude mice and maintained there for 4 weeks. Perfusion of kidneys demonstrated that glucose-induced (16.7 mmol/l) insulin secretion was impaired markedly in hybrid grafts compared with that in control grafts (0.66 +/- 0.23 vs. 1.8 +/- 0.38 pmol/20 min; P < 0.01), whereas stimulation by 20 mmol/l arginine resulted in similar insulin responses in both groups. The volumes of the grafted islets were similar in kidneys bearing either control or hybrid islets.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
