We studied glucose homeostasis in rat pups from dams fed on a normal-protein (170 g/kg) (NP) diet or containing 60 g protein/kg (LP) during fetal life and the suckling period. At birth, total serum protein, albumin insulin levels were similar both groups. However, body weight LP rats lower than those NP rats. end of period (28 d age), significantly liver glycogen free fatty acid higher compared with Although fasting level was groups, area under blood concentration curve after load for (859 (...

Some metabolic alterations were evaluated in Wistar rats which received control or low-protein (17%; 6%) diets, from the pregnancy until end of lactation: non-lactating (CNL), lactating (CL), (LPNL) and (LPL) groups. Despite increased food intake by LPL dams, both LP groups reduced protein final body mass was lower LPL. Higher serum glucose occurred Lactation induced insulin glucagon levels, but these diet. Prolactin levels rose lactating, impaired LPL, followed losses mammary gland (MAG)...

Excess of glucocorticoids (GCs) during pregnancy is strongly associated with the programming glucose intolerance in offspring. However, impact high GC levels on maternal metabolism not clearly documented. This study aimed to test hypothesis that mothers exposed elevated GCs might also display long-term disturbances homeostasis. Dexamethasone (DEX) was administered noninvasively via drinking water between 14th and 19th days pregnancy. Mothers were subjected insulin tolerance tests at 1, 2, 3,...

Objectives: We investigated the influence of leucine supplementation on insulin secretion and some proteins related to in malnourished mice. Methods: Swiss mice (aged 21 days) received isocaloric normo-17% (NP) or 6% low-protein (LP) diet for 120 days. Half NP LP 1.5% drinking water during last 30 days (NPL LPL, respectively). Results: The were hypoinsulinemic compared with group, whereas LPL exhibited increased insulinemia fed state versus mouse islets less responsive 22.2 mM glucose, 100...

The World Health Organization recommends exclusive breastfeeding until 6 months of age as an important strategy to reduce child morbidity and mortality. Studies have associated early weaning with the development obesity type 2 diabetes in adulthood. In our model, we demonstrated that leads increased insulin secretion adolescent males reduced adult offspring. Early weaned exhibit resistance skeletal muscle. did not change signalling muscle female Taking into account is one primary factors for...

In pancreatic islets, glucose metabolism is a key process for insulin secretion, and pregnancy requires an increase in secretion to compensate the typical resistance at end of this period. Because low‐protein diet decreases type could impair homeostasis, leading gestational diabetes. we investigated GLUT2, glucokinase hexokinase expression patterns as well uptake, utilization oxidation rates. Adult control non‐pregnant (CNP) pregnant (CP) rats were fed normal protein (17%), whereas (LPNP)...

Previous studies in our laboratory have demonstrated that the treatment of diabetic rats during 21 days with V. macrocarpa stem-bark ethanolic extract (VmE), reduced glycemia, urinary glucose and urea, increased liver glycogen content improved other parameters diabetes related. The objective this study was to evaluate if anti-hyperglycemic mechanisms VmE could be caused by improvement insulin signaling pathway peripheral tissues (liver, adipose skeletal muscle).Streptozotocin-diabetic were...

Malnutrition in early life impairs glucose-stimulated insulin secretion adulthood. Conversely, pregnancy is associated with a significant increase under conditions of normoglycaemia. A failure β-cell adaptive changes may contribute to the onset diabetes. Thus, glucose homeostasis and function were evaluated control-fed pregnant (CP) non-pregnant (CNP) or protein-restricted (LPP) (LPNP) rats, from fetal adult life, rats that recovered after weaning (RP RNP). The typical resistance was not...

Gap junctions between β-cells participate in the precise regulation of insulin secretion. Adherens and their associated proteins are required for formation, function structural maintenance gap junctions. Increases number enhanced glucose-stimulated secretion observed during pregnancy. In contrast, protein restriction produces functional alterations that result poor response to glucose. We investigated whether pregnancy affects expression mRNA involved adherens pancreatic islets.
