Insulin resistance in cats.
نویسنده
چکیده
Insulin resistance is defined as decreased sensitivity to insulin. Insulin resistance is an important component of the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM), and resolution of peripheral insulin resistance in cats with type 2 DM together with good glycemic control may result in diabetic remission. In insulin-dependent diabetic cats, insulin resistance is manifested clinically as an inadequate response to an appropriate pharmacologic dose of insulin. This article focuses on the clinical problem of insulin resistance in insulin-dependent diabetic cats.

Diabetes Mellitus in the Dog and Cat with Special Emphasis on Feline Diabetes
The vast majority of dogs have insulin-dependent (type 1) diabetes mellitus. In 90% of the cases the cause is linked to autoimmune destruction of the beta cells or pancreatitis. Secondary diabetes from chronic insulin resistance and subsequent beta cell burnout (e.g., with Cushing’s disease, acromegaly, and diestrus) accounts for approximately 10% of canine diabetics. In approximately 80-95% of...
متن کاملThe cat as a model for human obesity and diabetes.
Obesity is the most common nutritional disorder of cats and is a risk factor for diabetes. Similar to developments in obese people, obese cats show peripheral tissue insulin resistance and may demonstrate glucose intolerance when challenged with pharmacological amounts of glucose. However, they compensate well for the insulin resistance and do not show elevated glucose concentrations when monit...
متن کاملEffect of macronutrients, age, and obesity on 6- and 24-h postprandial glucose metabolism in cats.
Obesity and age are risk factors for feline diabetes. This study aimed to test the hypothesis that age, long-term obesity, and dietary composition would lead to peripheral and hepatorenal insulin resistance, indicated by higher endogenous glucose production (EGP) in the fasted and postprandial state, higher blood glucose and insulin, and higher leptin, free thyroxine, and lower adiponectin conc...
متن کاملPasireotide Long‐Acting Release Treatment for Diabetic Cats with Underlying Hypersomatotropism
BACKGROUND Long-term medical management of hypersomatotropism (HS) in cats has proved unrewarding. Pasireotide, a novel somatostatin analogue, decreases serum insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) and improves insulin sensitivity in cats with HS when administered as a short-acting preparation. OBJECTIVES Assess once-monthly administration of long-acting pasireotide (pasireotide LAR) for treatm...
متن کاملCorrelation between serum cathepsin S and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes
Cathepsin S (CatS), a proteolytic enzyme, which belongs to the cysteine proteinase family, is associated with atherosclerosis, coronary heart disease, cancer and other diseases. The present study aimed to explore the correlation between serum CatS and insulin resistance (IR) in patients with type 2 diabetes. A total of 51 patients with type 2 diabetes (Group DM) were recruited for this study an...
