homeostasis/metabolism
• mice exhibit elevated postprandial blood glucose after refeeding
• streptozotocin-treated mice have higher blood glucose levels than controls despite similarly low levels of plasma insulin
• high fat diet fed and streptozotocin-treated mice show an attenuated effect of the sufonylurea drug glibenclamide on blood glucose levels
|
• glucose tolerance test indicates that high fat diet-fed mice are more glucose intolerant than controls
• streptozotocin-treated mice are more glucose-intolerant and develop more severe postprandial hyperglycemia following refeeding
• however, plasma insulin concentrations during glucose tolerance test are similar to controls
|
• insulin tolerance test indicates that high fat diet-fed mice are more insulin resistant than controls
• streptozotocin-treated mice are more insulin-resistant
|
muscle
• glucose-induced lactate production in plantaris, EDL, and soleus muscles cultured ex vivo is impaired
• however, muscle mass, endurance exercise capacity and muscle development are unaffected
|
growth/size/body
N |
• chow-fed mice exhibit normal body weight and muscle mass
