In order to confirm the existence of insulin resistance in spontaneously hypertensive rat (SHR), rich musculature glucose tolerance test (GTT) and histological method examination of the insulin receptor were carried out in SHR and the normotensives (WKY). The basal serum insulin level was higher and the area under insulin curve during GTT was also higher in SHR than those in WKY, while the basal serum glucose level and the area under glucose curve during GTT in SHR were similar to those in WKY. As compared with WKY, SHR displayed a significantly lower percentage of insulin sensitive slow-twitch fiber of plantaris and medial head of gastrocnemius (type I fiber). There were strong positive correlations between blood pressure (BP) and insulin as well as between BP and the area under insulin curve, but the correlation between insulin and percentage of type I fiber was negative. In conclusion, the present study provides both functional and structural evidence of insulin resistance in SHR.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more. Blood Pressure, High,Blood Pressures, High,High Blood Pressure,High Blood Pressures
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).

D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.

D005951 Glucose Tolerance Test A test to determine the ability of an individual to maintain HOMEOSTASIS of BLOOD GLUCOSE. It includes measuring blood glucose levels in a fasting state, and at prescribed intervals before and after oral glucose intake (75 or 100 g) or intravenous infusion (0.5 g/kg).
