Abstract:
Objective:To explore the hepatocyte insulin sensitivity of intrauterine growth retardation ( IUGR) rats and establish an insulin resistance cell model in vitro.Methods: An IUGR animal model was established by protein malnutrition during the mother pregnancy .On 60 d and 90 d after birth , the offspring rats were fasted for 12 hours and then their angular vein blood was collected to measure the fasting plasma glucose and fasting serum insulin level , then the insulin resistance index ( HOMA-IR) and insulin sensitivity index ( ISI) were calculated .The insulin sensitivity was evaluated by HOMA-IR and ISI.Primary hepatocytes from each group were respectively isolated by two-step perfusion with collage-nase and were defined as normal hepatocytes group and IUGR hepatocytes group .The normal hepatocyte group was divided into two groups: control group and insulin induction group .Insulin induction group was established by primary cultures of normal hepatocyte incubated with varying dilutions of insulin . CCK-8 was used to detect the viability of the cultured hepatocytes .Glucose oxidase-peroxidase method kit was used to measure glucose consumption of the hepatocytes .Results:HOMA-IR was significantly higher in IUGR rats than in the normal rats at the age of 60 days ( t=-17 .02 , P<0 .05 ) and 90 days ( t=-12.52, P<0.05).ISI was significantly lower than in the normal rats aged 60 days (t=5.61, P<0.05) and 90 days (t=12.42, P<0.05).There were no significant differences in hepatocyte viability among the control group , IUGR group and insulin induction group after incubation of 48 h on day 60 (F=1.34, P=0.29) and day 90 (F=0.22, P=0.81).The glucose consumption of the IUGR group and insulin induction group were significantly decreased compared with the control group on day 60 ( F=9.28, P=0.002) and day 90 (F=56.60, P<0.001), while there was no significant difference be-tween the IUGR group and insulin induction group (P=0.08, P=0.10).Conclusion:The insulin sen-sitivity of hepatocytes of IUGR rats decreased from adolescence to adulthood .High-dilution insulin may induce insulin resistance cell model in vitro.
