Plasma glucose and insulin responses to propionate in preruminating calves. 1982

D D Johnson, and G E Mitchell, and R E Tucker, and R W Hemken

Eighteen preruminating calves obtained at approximately 38 d of age were used to determine whether the ruminant insulin response to propionate is an inherent response or one that is acquired because of ruminal propionate production. A liquid milk replacer diet was fed alone or with isocaloric additions of propionate [50 mmol . (kg BW . 75-1 . d-1] or glucose. Both additions caused a strong insulin response, but the response by propionate-fed calves appeared to be independent of plasma glucose concentrations during the early post-feeding hours. After receiving the experimental diets for 18 d, all calves were given an iv infusion or propionate [.035 mmol propionate . (kg BW . 75-1 . min-1 for 20 min]. All calves demonstrated a plasma insulin rise and glucose decline due to the infusions, but glucose-fed and propionate-fed calves appeared less sensitive to the iv propionate than the calves fed only milk replacer.

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).

D000367 Age Factors Age as a constituent element or influence contributing to the production of a result. It may be applicable to the cause or the effect of a circumstance. It is used with human or animal concepts but should be differentiated from AGING, a physiological process, and TIME FACTORS which refers only to the passage of time.
