Type 2 diabetes (or non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM) is a common metabolic disease in man. The Goto-Kakizaki (GK) rat has been designed as a NIDDM model. Previous studies with this strain have shown differences at the mitochondrial level. The mitochondrial permeability transition (MPT) is a widely studied phenomenon but yet poorly understood, that leads to mitochondrial dysfunction and cell death. The aim of this work was to compare the differences in susceptibility of induction of the MPT with calcium phosphate in GK and Wistar rats. Our results show that heart mitochondria from GK rats are less susceptible to the induction of MPT, and show a larger calcium accumulation before the overall loss of mitochondrial impermeability.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.
