Abstract:
Objective To establish a gestational diabetes rat model by feeding the rats with high-fat diet.Methods A total of 55 female SD rats were divided into four groups:NV group,NP group,FV group and FP group.Three months after normal feeding,the female rats in NP and FP group were put into the same cage with the male rats at the ratio of 2∶1 and were given high-fat diet or normal diet as usual.Before pregnancy and day 1,7,14,20 in pregnancy,fasting plasma glucose and body weight of rats were detected.The fasting serum insulin and serum c-peptide levels were monitored by enzyme immunoassay and insulin resistance index was calculated.At late pregnancy,glucose tolerance and the indicator of fat were tested.Liver and pancreas were dyed to be observed under microscope.FResultS Body weights of the rats raised with high-fat diet were significantly higher than those of control group and body weight during pregnancy significantly increased (P＜0.05).Fasting glucose,fasting insulin and serum C-peptide in FP group were signifieantly higher than those in NP group and insulin resistance was evident (P＜0.05).The area under curve of GTT in FP group was significantly larger (P＜0.05).The levels of serum lipids in FP group were higher than those in normal group.CorncluSiornS The gestational diabetes rat model induced by high-fat diet can be successfully established.The model presents major pathophysiological manifestations of GDM and can be used as a good model of GDM in relevant research.
