چکیده

This study aimed to elucidate possible age-related changes in islet blood perfusion in lean and obese C57BL/6 mice. Obese mice aged 1 mo were hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic and had an increased islet blood flow compared with age-matched lean mice. This augmented blood flow could be abolished by pretreatment with leptin. The islet blood perfusion was, in contrast to this, markedly decreased in obese 6- to 7-mo-old animals compared with age-matched lean mice. Reversal of hyperglycemia, but not hyperinsulinemia, in these obese mice with phlorizin normalized the islet blood flow. Spontaneous reversal of hyperglycemia, but not hyperinsulinemia, was seen in the 12-mo-old obese mice. Islet blood perfusion in obese mice at this age did not differ compared with lean mice. It is suggested that the initial increase in islet blood flow in obese mice is due to the leptin deficiency. The subsequent decrease in islet blood perfusion is probably caused by the chronic hyperglycemia. The described islet blood flow changes may be of importance for impairment of islet function in obese-hyperglycemic mice.

Novel leptin receptor mutation in NOD/LtJ mice suppresses type 1 diabetes progression: I. Pathophysiological analysis.

A spontaneous single-base mutation in the leptin receptor of type 1 diabetes-prone NOD/LtJ mice (designated as Lepr(db-5J)) produced a glycine640valine transversion in the extracellular domain. All mutant mice became obese and hyperinsulinemic at weaning, with 70-80% developing early-onset hyperglycemia. However, these obese diabetic mice continued to gain weight without insulin therapy. Sponta...

Obesity, Diabetes and Leptin: Lessons Learned from Obese Hyperglycemic Mice

The recent epidemic nature of obesity and association of obesity with the development of type 2 diabetes demands dissection of the pathophysiology of this morbid disorder which is essential for better understanding of the process of evolution of insulin resistance. Different animal models have been used to explore the mechanism linking obesity to insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes. The disc...

Vagotomy in young obese hyperglycemic mice: effects on syndrome development and islet proliferation.

Obese hyperglycemic mice have large pancreatic islets and high levels of serum insulin and blood glucose. Vagotomy was performed on 3-wk-old animals to investigate the role of gut cholinergic innervation in young Umea ob/ob mice. After vagotomy, obesity and hyperglycemia are dissociated. Weight increase in obese vagotomized mice was lower than in sham-operated controls during the 1st wk postope...
