Enhanced Expressions of Arginine Vasopressin (Avp) in the Hypothalamic Paraventricular and Supraoptic Nuclei of Type 2 Diabetic Rats

Arginine vasopressin (AVP) is known to a neuropeptide that plays important roles in water conservation, sodium homeostasis, and in the regulation of serum osmolality. Several studies have reported that the elevated AVP level is related with diabetes mellitus as an acute or chronic stressor using type 1 diabetes mellitus animal models. However, it is unclear as to how the immunoreactivity and protein level of AVP in the brain is regulated in animal models of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In the present study, Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats were employed as a type 2 diabetes mellitus model and were compared with Zucker lean control (ZLC) rats with respect to AVP protein expression. Furthermore, in order to verify the regulation of AVP expression before and after the onset of diabetes mellitus, pre-diabetic rats (4 week-old) and obese-diabetic rats (12 week-old) were used. Blood glucose levels and water consumption were also measured and the results showed significantly high in 12 week-old ZDF than any other groups. AVP expression levels in the paraventricular nucleus and supraoptic nucleus were found to be significantly higher in 12 week-old ZDF rats than in 12 week-old ZLC rats and than in 4 week-old rats by immunostaining and western blotting. Enhanced expression of AVP in these animals may be associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus. Special issue article in honor of George Fink.     

Porcine model of diabetic dyslipidemia: insulin and feed algorithms for mimicking diabetes mellitus in humans

A weakness of many animal models of diabetes mellitus is the failure to use insulin therapy, which typically results in severe body wasting. Data collected from such studies must be interpreted cautiously to separate the effects of hyperglycemia from those of starvation. We provide several algorithms that were used by us in two long-term (20-week) experiments in which hyperglycemia (300 to 400 mg/dl), dyslipidemia (cholesterol [280 to 405 mg/dl] and triglycerides [55 to 106 mg/dl] concentrations), and positive energy balance were maintained in swine. Yucatan miniature swine groups included control, alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus, diabetes mellitus plus diet-induced dyslipidemia, and exercise-trained diabetic dyslipidemic pigs. The algorithms were developed for the porcine model because of several similarities to humans, including: cardiac anatomy and physiology, propensity for sedentary behavior, and metabolism of dietary carbohydrates and lipids. Acute toxic effects of alloxan (hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, nephrotoxicosis) were minimized by preventive fluid loading and by use of algorithms in which insulin, food, and fluid therapy were administered. Long-term insulin and food maintenance algorithms elicited normal body weight gain in all three diabetic groups (lean experiment) and threefold greater body weight gain in pigs of an obesity experiment. Exercise-trained pigs of both experiments manifested significantly increased work performance and did not experience medical complications. We conclude that these algorithms can be used in swine, or similar algorithms can be developed for other animal species to maintain hyperglycemia and/or dyslipidemia, while avoiding diabetes-induced wasting. Importantly, animal models of diabetes mellitus that maintain positive energy balance and poor glycemic control provide a marked improvement over other models by more closely mimicking the human presentation of diabetes mellitus.

Protective action of arachidonic acid against alloxan-induced cytotoxicity and diabetes mellitus

Previous studies showed that essential fatty acid (EFA) deficiency, conjugated linoleic acid and troglitazone exert a protective effect in animal models of diabetes mellitus. Here we show that alloxan-induced in vitro cytotoxicity and apoptosis in an insulin secreting rat insulinoma, RIN, cells can be prevented by arachidonic acid (AA) and that both cyclo-oxygenase and lipoxygenase inhibitors do not block this protective action. Alloxan-induced diabetes in male Wistar rats was also prevented by oral supplementation of AA, gamma-linolenic acid (GLA), eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). This protective action is best when the animals were pre-treated with the fatty acid. These results suggest that polyunsaturated fatty acids can prevent alloxan-induced diabetes mellitus in experimental animals and may be useful to prevent diabetes mellitus in the high-risk population.
