Abstract:
Objective To study the changes and mechanism of the function of islet βcells and insulin signal transduction molecules in rats after long-term period lipid infusion.Methods Thirty SpragueDawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into free fatty acid (FFA) and normal saline (NS) groups.Catheters were implanted under pentobarbital anesthesia in the right atrium via the jugular vein and the left carotid artery.A technique for a 72-h infusion in unrestrained rats was used for triglyceride and heparin or saline infusion.The infusion period was started on day 2 after surgery.After 72-h infusion,fasting serum insulin (Ins) and FFA in the blood were determined.The glucose infusion rat (GIR) was measured by hyperinsulinemia euglycemic clamp to evaluate the peripheral insulin resistance.The intravenous glucose tolerance test (ivgtt) and islet cell perifusion was conducted to evaluate the function of islet β-cell.The rats in two groups were sacrificed,and the pancreatic islets were isolated and collected.The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione hormone (GSH) were detected in pancreatic tissues.The expressions of insulin receptor substrate-1 (IRS-1),insulin receptor substrate-2 (IRS-2),and glucose transporter-2 (Glut2)gene in islets were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR).Results (1)The serum FFA concentration in the FFA group was higher than in NS group [(1.56 ± 0.21) mmol/L vs (0.65 ± 0.12)mmol/L,P ＜0.01].(2)The GIR was decreased significantly in FFA group compared with NS group(P ＜0.01).(3)The glucose that stimulated insulin secretion was decreased in the FFA group.(4)The levels of MDA were significantly higher in FFA group [(1.62 ± O.18) mmol/mg prot vs (0.76 ± 0.15) mmol/mg prot,P ＜0.01].The levels of GSH were lower in FFA group [(22.54 ±2.66) mg/g prot vs (36.58 ± 3.02) mg/g prot,P ＜ 0.01].(5) The gene cxprcssion of IRS-1 in islets was significantly decreased by [(36.8±1.8)％,P ＜0.01],and the expression of IRS-2 and Glut-2 was decreased by [(29.6±1.2) ％] and [(58.7 ± 2.1) ％] in FFA group,respectively(all P ＜0.01).Conclusions Lipid infusion in long time decreased the secretion of insulin and impaired the expression of insulin signal transduction molecules in islet βcells.
