Abstract

The current study was conducted to determine if physical activity and/or weight control could influence the age-related decrease in beta cell insulin response noted in earlier studies. As such, virgin, male Sprague-Dawley rats were maintained in our facility for 1 yr on three differential experimental programs; in the first group, control rats lived under standard laboratory conditions; the second group of rats ran several miles a day in exercise wheels, and the third group was given a calorie-restricted diet designed to keep the rats weight-matched with the exercising rats. The results showed that the 12-mo-old sedentary control rats weighed an average of 800g. From the time these rats were 4 mo old, they were significantly hyperinsulinemic, with mean (+/- SEM) serum insulin levels of 55 +/- 6 microU/ml. Morphological studies on the pancreas of these rats at the end of the year revealed enlarged, multilobulated, fibrotic islets. After collagenase digestion, the most normal-appearing islets from the 12-mo-old controls were used for insulin secretion studies, these islets showed significantly reduced glucose-induced insulin release (0.83 microU insulin/min per volume islet) compared with islets from young rats (1.80 microU insul...Continue Reading
