Abstract

In the light of a recent study conducted in normal rats, the present investigations were aimed at exploring the immediate and long-term effects of an olive oil-enriched diet (OO diet) on GLP-1 release and intestinal content, plasma insulin concentration, glucose tolerance and pancreatic insulin content in adult rats that had been injected with streptozotocin during the neonatal period (STZ rats). The OO diet, when compared to a standard diet, increased the immediate GLP-1 response in meal-trained rats, but decreased GLP-1 content in the intestinal tract after 50 days. Over 50 days, the body weight gain was lower in the rats fed the OO diet compared to standard diet. In the former, however, no improvement of glucose tolerance or insulin response during an oral glucose tolerance test was observed. Thus, a paradoxical lowering of the insulinogenic index, i. e. the paired ratio between plasma insulin and glucose concentration, was recorded during the oral glucose tolerance test in rats fed either standard or OO diet. Moreover, the insulin content of the pancreas was equally low in the STZ rats fed either standard or OO diet. These findings will be discussed in the framework of possible differences in the pathophysiology of B-cell d...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Biology of GLP-1

Glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) plays a role in glucose metabolism, energy homeostasis, and inflammation suppression. GLP-1 receptor signaling has been shown to impact cardiovascular function. This feed focuses on the role of GLP-1 and GLP-1 receptor agonists on cardiovascular biology.

Biomarkers for Type 2 Diabetes

Biomarkers can help understand chronic diseases and assist in risk prediction for prevention and early detection of diseases. Here is the latest research on biomarkers in type 2 diabetes, a disease in which the body is unable to produce or properly use insulin.
