摘要
We previously developed a canine model of central obesity and insulin resistance by supplementing the normal chow diet with 2 g cooked bacon grease/kg body weight. Dogs fed this fatty diet maintained glucose tolerance with compensatory hyperinsulinemia. The signal(s) responsible for this up-regulation of plasma insulin is unknown. We hypothesized that meal-derived factors such as glucose, fatty acids, or incretin hormones may signal beta-cell compensation in the fat-fed dog. We fed the same fat-supplemented diet for 12 wk to six dogs and compared metabolic responses with seven control dogs fed a normal diet. Fasting and stimulated fatty acid and glucose-dependent insulinotropic peptide concentrations were not increased by fat feeding, whereas glucose was paradoxically decreased, ruling out those three factors as signals for compensatory hyperinsulinemia. Fasting plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) concentration was 2.5-fold higher in the fat-fed animals, compared with controls, and 3.4-fold higher after a mixed meal. Additionally, expression of the GLP-1 receptor in whole pancreas was increased 2.3-fold in the fat-fed dogs. The increase in both circulating GLP-1 and its target receptor may have increased beta-cell responsiveness to lower glucose. Glucose is not the primary cause of hyperinsulinemia in the fat-fed dog. Corequisite meal-related signals may be permissive for development of hyperinsulinemia.
