Secretion of triglyceride and ketogenesis by livers from spontaneous diabetic BB Wistar rats. 1991

Livers from male and female BB Wistar spontaneously diabetic rats were perfused in vitro to determine the effects of spontaneously occurring insulin-dependent diabetes on the metabolism of fatty acid. The secretion of triglyceride and the incorporation of [1-14C] oleic acid into perfusate and hepatic triglyceride was reduced by the diabetic state, whereas beta-hydroxybutyrate production and output of total ketone bodies were increased. The spontaneous diabetic Wistar rat clearly is a suitable model to study the derangements induced in lipid/plasma lipoprotein metabolism by the insulin-dependent diabetic state; the data obtained with this model confirm our earlier observations on experimental insulin deficiency induced with alloxan, streptozotocin, and anti-insulin serum.

D003922 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 1 A subtype of DIABETES MELLITUS that is characterized by INSULIN deficiency. It is manifested by the sudden onset of severe HYPERGLYCEMIA, rapid progression to DIABETIC KETOACIDOSIS, and DEATH unless treated with insulin. The disease may occur at any age, but is most common in childhood or adolescence.
