[Simplification of the intravenous glucose tolerance test (ivGTT) in rats]. 1985

J Mizoguchi, and S Yamada, and T Ohtaki, and T Imamichi

A simplified technique was established for the intravenous glucose tolerance test (ivGTT) in unanesthetized rats. In order to evaluate the relation between insulin secretion, glucose load and glucose disappearance rate, precatheterized rats were given glucose ranging in dose from 0.25 to 2.0 g/kg bw by intravenous injection. A highly linear correlation was observed in glucose disappearance rate during a period of 4-32 min. A glucose load greater than 0.5 g/kg ow induced a maximum response in insulin secretion. Small blood samples were collected using the orbital bleeding technique at 4, 16 and 28 minutes after a glucose load of 1.0 g/kg bw had been given and then T1/2, the time taken for the glucose level to fall by one half, was calculated. The mean T1/2 was significantly longer in alloxan- or cyproheptadin-diabetic rats than that in the intacts. These data indicate that a glucose load of 1.0 g/kg administered by intravenous injection with the T1/2 calculated between 4 and 32 minutes would provide an accurate means of assessing pancreatic endocrine function.

D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D007515 Islets of Langerhans Irregular microscopic structures consisting of cords of endocrine cells that are scattered throughout the PANCREAS among the exocrine acini. Each islet is surrounded by connective tissue fibers and penetrated by a network of capillaries. There are four major cell types. The most abundant beta cells (50-80%) secrete INSULIN. Alpha cells (5-20%) secrete GLUCAGON. PP cells (10-35%) secrete PANCREATIC POLYPEPTIDE. Delta cells (~5%) secrete SOMATOSTATIN.
