The molecular basis of insulin resistance, a major risk factor for development of Type II diabetes, involves defective insulin signaling. Insulin-mediated signal transduction is negatively regulated by the phosphotyrosine phosphatase, PTP1B, and numerous studies have demonstrated that organo-vanadium compounds, which are nonselective phosphotyrosine phosphatase inhibitors, have insulin-mimetic properties. However, whether or not vanadium compounds can prevent the transition from insulin resistance to overt diabetes is unknown. We compared the ability of bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV) (BMOV), an orally bioavailable organo-vanadium compound, and rosiglitazone maleate (RSG), a known insulin sensitizer, to prevent development of diabetes in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. Treatment began at 6 weeks of age when animals are insulin resistant and hyperinsulinemic, but not yet hyperglycemic, and ended at 12 weeks of age, which is 4 weeks after ZDF rats typically develop overt diabetes. BMOV-treated ZDF rats did not develop hyperglycemia, showed significant improvement in insulin sensitivity, and retained normal pancreatic islet morphology and endocrine cell distribution, similar to RSG-treated animals. BMOV and RSG treatment also prevented the hyper-phagia and polydipsia present in untreated ZDF rats; however, BMOV-treated ZDF rats gained much less weight than did RSG-treated animals. Circulating levels of adiponectin decreased in untreated ZDF rats compared to lean controls, but these levels remained normal in BMOV-treated ZDF rats. In contrast, in RSG-treated ZDF rats, plasma adiponectin levels were nearly 4-fold higher than in lean control rats, primarily as a result of a large increase in the amount of low-molecular weight forms of adiponectin in circulation. These data demonstrate that phosphatase inhibition offers a new approach to diabetes prevention, one that may have advantages over current approaches. 相似文献

This study was performed to determine whether two ginseng species (Panax ginseng and Panax quinquefolius) can be identified by genetic analysis and to verify pyrosequencing analysis, which was used to assess genetic variation. The pyrosequencing results constituted clear data. Panax quinquefolius showed a very different pattern than Panax ginseng. Pyrosequencing analysis might be able to identify the Panax species. 相似文献

The aim of this study was to examine the long-term effects of synthetic chow diet on the metabolic pattern of diabetic syndrome in a large group of sand rats. Few animals had a fulminating reaction with markedly decreased glucose tolerance, low plasma insulin levels and death within 3-4 weeks. But the most of sand rats developed obesity and elevated plasma insulin levels. From the third month, 40% of sand rats presented a diabetic syndrome with hyperinsulinemia, hyperglycemia, markedly decreased glucose tolerance and insulin resistance. Plasma lipids were increased; the lipid and glycogen accumulation in the liver was high. So this diabetic syndrome can be compared to maturity onset diabetes. If this synthetic chow diet lasted more than 6 months, the most of animals lost considerable weight with a strong lipid depletion of fat stores. Serum immunoreactive insulin levels fall and the blood glucose rose over 500 mg/100 ml with glycosuria and ketonuria . The elevated triglyceride content of plasma and the lipid deposits in the liver were exaggerated; glycogen had disappeared. Animals developed an overtly insulin- dependent diabetes, the latter phase of the disease. The sand rat appears to us as a potentially interesting model for investigation both maturity onset and ketotic-type diabetic syndrome. 相似文献

The appropriate animal model of diabetes mellitus type 2 is Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. The goal of this study was to analyse the effect of chronic high-energy diet on diabetes mellitus (DM) complications in ZDF rats. Male ZDF rats (n?=?20) and their lean controls (non-diabetic, n?=?10) in the age of 3 months were involved in the experiment. Rats were provided with water and diet on ad libitum base. Animals were divided into three groups as follows: lean untreated rats (C) fed by KKZ-P/M (10 MJ/kg), obese rats fed by KKZ-P/M (10 MJ/kg, E1) and obese rats fed by enriched high energy diet (E2, enriched KKZ-P/M, 20 MJ/kg). Glucose, ketones levels, the consumption of feed, water and the live weight was measured weekly during the whole experiment. At the end of the experiment rats were anesthetized and selected haematological parameters were measured. ZDF rats in E1 and E2 group developed obesity, hyperglycaemia, non-insulin dependent diabetes, aggravations in haematological parameters and accumulation of sorbitol in sciatic nerve and lens of rats. High-energy diet immediately induced hyperglycaemia followed by accelerating the secondary symptoms of diabetes complications expressed by disturbed haematology parameters. High-energy diet caused ketoacidosis what meant two cases of death. Extended research on diabetes is needed. 相似文献

To identify physiological processes that might limit photosynthesis in Panax quinquefolius L. (American ginseng) a comparison has been made with Panax ginseng C.A. Meyer (Korean ginseng), Pisum sativum L. (pea) and Spinacia oleracea L. (spinach). The quantum yield of oxygen evolution in intact leaves and isolated thylakoid membranes was found to be smaller in ginseng than in pea or spinach. However, the number of photosystem II (PSII) centers on a chlorophyll basis was found to be similar in all species. This suggests that ginseng thylakoid membranes possess relatively more inactive PSII centers than thylakoids of pea and spinach when grown under similar conditions. Unexpectedly, whole-chain electron transport from water to methyl viologen, and partial photosystem I reactions, demonstrated that electron transport rates to methyl viologen were anomalously low in P. quinquefolius and P. ginseng. Additionally, at elevated light intensities, intact leaves of P. quinquefolius were more susceptible to lipid peroxidation than pea leaves. In plants grown at a light intensity of 80 micro mol photons m(-2) s(-1) the levels of fructose and starch were higher in both ginseng species than in pea or spinach. Significantly, the level of starch in P. quinquefolius was relatively constant throughout the entire 12 h/12 h light/dark cycle and remained high after an extended dark time of 48 h. In addition, P. quinquefolius had lower activities of alpha-amylase and beta-amylase than P. ginseng, pea and Arabidopsis thaliana (L.) Heynh. The significance of the elevated levels of leaf starch in P. quinquefolius remains to be determined. However, the susceptibility of P. quinquefolius to photoinhibition may arise as a consequence of a reduced fraction of active PSII centers. This may result in the normal dissipative mechanisms in these plants becoming saturated at elevated, but moderate, light intensities. 相似文献

In this study, we observed anti-diabetic and anti-obesity effects of Panax ginseng berry in adult C57BL/Ks db/db mice and their lean littermates. Animals received daily intraperitoneal injections of Panax ginseng berry extract at 150 mg/kg body wt. for 12 consecutive days. On Day 5, the extract-treated db/db mice had significantly lower fasting blood glucose levels as compared to vehicle-treated mice (180.5+/-10.2 mg/dl vs. 226.0+/-15.3 mg/dl, P < 0.01). On day 12, the extract-treated db/db mice were normoglycemic (134.3+/-7.3 mg/dl) as compared to vehicle-treated mice (254.8+/-24.1 mg/dl; P < 0.01). Fasting blood glucose levels of lean mice did not decrease significantly after treatment with extract. After 12 days of treatment with the extract, glucose tolerance increased significantly, and overall blood glucose exposure calculated as area under the curve (AUC) decreased 53.4% (P < 0.01) in db/db mice. Furthermore, db/db mice treated with extract (150 mg/kg body wt.) showed weight loss from 51.0+/-1.9 g on Day 0, to 46.6+/-1.7 g on Day 5, and to 45.2+/-1.4 g on Day 12 (P < 0.05 and P < 0.01 compared to Day 0, respectively). The body weight of lean littermates also decreased at the same dose of extract. These data suggest that Panax ginseng berry extract may have therapeutic value in treating diabetic and obese patients. 相似文献

PURPOSE: Recently, our laboratory group has reported that rats with Type 1 diabetes have decreased plasma homocysteine and cysteine levels compared to non-diabetic controls and that organic vanadium treatment increased plasma homocysteine concentrations to non-diabetic concentrations. However, to date, no studies have been done investigating the effects of organic vanadium compounds on plasma homocysteine and its metabolites in Type 2 diabetic animal model. These studies examined the effect of organic vanadium compounds [bis(maltolato)oxovanadium(IV) and bis(ethylmaltolato)oxovanadium(IV); BMOV and BEOV] administered orally on plasma concentrations of homocysteine and its metabolites (cysteine and cysteinylglycine) in lean, Zucker fatty (ZF) and Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats. ZF rats are a model of pre-diabetic Type 2 diabetes characterized by hyperinsulinemia and normoglycemia. The ZDF rat is a model of Type 2 diabetes characterized by relative hypoinsulinemia and hyperglycemia. METHODS: Zucker lean and ZF rats received BMOV in the drinking water at a dose of 0.19 +/- 0.02 mmol/kg/day. Lean and ZDF rats received BEOV by oral gavage daily at dose of 0.1 mmol/kg. The treatment period for both studies was 21 days. At termination, animals were fasted overnight (approximately 16 h) and blood samples were collected by cardiac puncture for determination of plasma glucose, insulin and homocysteine levels. Plasma homocysteine and its metabolites levels were determined using high-pressure liquid chromatography. Plasma glucose was determined using a Glucose Analyzer 2. Plasma insulin levels were determined by radioimmunoassay. Plasma triglycerides were determined by an enzymatic assay methodology. RESULTS: ZF (n = 4) and ZDF (n = 10) rats had significantly lower plasma homocysteine as compared to their respective lean groups (ZF 0.78 +/- 0.1 micromol/L vs. Zucker lean 2.19 +/- 0.7 micromol/L; ZDF 1.71 +/- 0.2 micromol/L vs. Zucker lean 3.02 +/- 0.3 micromol/L; p < 0.05). BMOV treatment in ZF rats restored plasma homocysteine levels to those observed in lean untreated rats (ZF treated: 2.04 +/- 0.2 micromol/L; lean 2.19 +/- 0.7 micromol/L). There was a modest effect of BMOV treatment on plasma glucose levels in ZF rats. BEOV treatment significantly decreased the elevated plasma glucose levels in the ZDF rats (lean 7.9 +/- 0.1 mmol/L; lean + vanadium 7.7 +/- 0.2 mmol/L; ZDF 29.9 +/- 0.4 mmol/L; ZDF + vanadium 17.4 +/- 0.3 mmol/L, p < 0.05). Organic vanadium treatment reduced cysteine levels in both ZF and ZDF rats. No differences in total plasma cysteinylglycine concentrations were observed. CONCLUSION: Plasma homocysteine levels are significantly reduced in a pre-diabetic model of Type 2 diabetes, which was restored to lean levels upon vanadium treatment; however, this restoration of plasma homocysteine levels was not seen in ZDF Type 2 diabetic rats following vanadium treatment. In the latter case vanadium treatment may not have totally overcome the insulin resistance seen in these animals. 相似文献

Improvement of insulin sensitivity and lipid and glucose metabolism by coactivation of both nuclear peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor (PPAR)gamma and PPARalpha potentially provides beneficial effects over existing PPARgamma and alpha preferential drugs, respectively, in treatment of type 2 diabetes. We examined the effects of the dual PPARalpha/gamma agonist ragaglitazar on hyperglycemia and whole body insulin sensitivity in early and late diabetes stages in Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats and compared them with treatment with the PPARgamma preferential agonist rosiglitazone. Despite normalization of hyperglycemia and Hb A(1c) and reduction of plasma triglycerides by both compounds in both prevention and early intervention studies, ragaglitazar treatment resulted in overall reduced circulating insulin and improved insulin sensitivity to a greater extent than after treatment with rosiglitazone. In late-intervention therapy, ragaglitazar reduced Hb A(1c) by 2.3% compared with 1.1% by rosiglitazone. Improvement of insulin sensitivity caused by the dual PPARalpha/gamma agonist ragaglitazar seemed to have beneficial impact over that of the PPARgamma-preferential activator rosiglitazone on glycemic control in frankly diabetic ZDF rats. 相似文献

The effects of diabetes and lipoprotein lipase (LpL) on plasma lipids were studied in mice expressing human apolipoprotein B (HuBTg). Our overall objective was to produce a diabetic mouse model in which the sole effects of blood glucose elevation on atherosclerosis could be assessed. Mice were made diabetic by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin, which led to a 2- to 2. 5-fold increase in plasma glucose. Lipids were assessed in mice on chow and on an atherogenic Western type diet (WTD), consisting of 21% (wt/wt) fat and 0.15% (wt/wt) cholesterol. Plasma triglyceride and cholesterol were the same in diabetic and non-diabetic mice on the chow diet. On the WTD, male diabetic HuBTg mice had a >50% increase in plasma cholesterol and more very low density lipoprotein (VLDL) cholesterol and triglyceride as assessed by FPLC analysis. A Triton study showed no increase in triglyceride or apolipoprotein B production, suggesting that the accumulation of VLDL was due to a decrease in lipoprotein clearance. Surprisingly, the VLDL increase in these mice was not due to a decrease in LpL activity in postheparin plasma. To test whether LpL overexpression would alter these diabetes-induced lipoprotein changes, HuBTg mice were crossed with mice expressing human LpL in muscle. LpL overexpression reduced plasma triglyceride, but not cholesterol, in male mice on WTD. Aortic root atherosclerosis assessed in 32-week-old mice on the WTD was not greater in diabetic mice. In summary, diabetes primarily increased plasma VLDL in HuBTg mice. LpL activity was not decreased in these animals. However, additional LpL expression eliminated the diabetic lipoprotein changes. These mice did not have more atherosclerosis with diabetes. 相似文献

Oxidative stress has been proposed as the pathogenic mechanism linking insulin resistance with endothelial dysfunction during diabetes. The present study investigated the attenuation of plasma dyslipidemia and oxidative damage by caloric restriction in experimental diabetes. Forty male Wistar rats were divided into ad libitum and calorie-restricted groups. The calorie-restricted group was subjected to 30% caloric restriction for 63 days before induction of diabetes to 50% of both groups. Caloric restriction significantly (p<0.01) reduced the body weights, reactive oxygen species (ROS), catalase, total cholesterol levels and non-significantly reduced SOD activities in non-diabetic and diabetic rats. Caloric restriction was also found to improve blood glucose levels, glycated hemoglobin, malondialdehyde, triglyceride, oxidized glutathione and reduced glutathione levels and significantly (p<0.05) increased GPx and GR activities in the experimental animals. The non-diabetic rats fed ad libitum had the most significant increases in body weight which could be due to dyslipidemia. These results indicate that dietary caloric restriction attenuates the oxidative damage and dyslipidemia exacerbated during diabetes as evidenced by the significant reduction in their body weights, ROS, total cholesterol levels and the increases in GPx activity and redox status. 相似文献

Thiazolidinediones (TZDs) are currently the most efficacious class of oral antidiabetics. However, they carry the burden of weight gain and haemodilution, which may lead to cardiovascular complications. The present study was designed to ascertain whether a combination of dipeptidyl peptidase IV (DPP IV) inhibitor with low dose of a thiazolidinedione absolves TZD associated weight gain and oedema without compromising its efficacy. In this study, we examined the efficacy and safety of lower dose (1 mg/kg/day) of rosiglitazone, a thiazolidinedione, in combination with 5 mg/kg/day dose of LAF-237 (vildagliptin), a known DPP IV inhibitor, in aged db/db mice after 14 days of treatment and compared the combination with therapeutic dose (10 mg/kg) of rosiglitazone. The combination therapy showed similar efficacy as that of 10 mg/kg/day rosiglitazone in lowering random blood glucose (53.8%, p<0.001 and 54.3%, p<0.001 respectively), AUC ((0-120) min) during oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (38.6 %, p<0.01; 38.3%, p<0.01 respectively) and triglyceride levels (63.9% and 61% respectively; p<0.01). Plasma active glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1) and insulin levels were found to be elevated significantly (p<0.01 and p<0.05 respectively) in both LAF-237 and combination treated groups following oral glucose load. LAF-237 alone had no effect on random glucose and glucose excursion during OGTT in severely diabetic db/db mice. Interestingly, the combination treatment showed no significant increase in body weight as compared to the robust weight gain by therapeutic dose of rosiglitazone. Rosiglitazone at 10 mg/kg/day showed significant reduction (p<0.05) in haematocrit, RBC count, haemoglobin pointing towards haemodilution associated with increased mRNA expression of Na(+), K(+)-ATPase-alpha and epithelial sodium channel gamma (ENaCgamma) in kidney. The combination therapy escaped these adverse effects. The results suggest that combination of DPP IV inhibitor with low dose of thiazolidinedione can interact synergistically to represent a therapeutic advantage for the clinical treatment of type 2 diabetes without the adverse effects of haemodilution and weight gain associated with thiazolidinediones. 相似文献

We examined the effects of intake of Korean foxtail millet protein (FMP) on plasma levels of lipid, glucose, insulin, and adiponectin in genetically type 2 diabetic KK-Ay mice. When mice were fed a normal FMP diet or a high-fat-high-sucrose diet containing FMP for 3 weeks, in both experiments plasma concentrations of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-cholesterol) and adiponectin increased remarkably in comparison with a casein diet group, whereas concentrations of insulin decreased greatly and that of plasma glucose was comparable to that in the casein diet group. Considering the role of adiponectin, insulin, and HDL-cholesterol in diabetes, atherosclerosis, and obesity, it appears likely that FMP may improve insulin sensitivity and cholesterol metabolism through an increase in adiponectin concentration. Therefore, FMP would serve as another beneficial food component in obesity-related diseases such as type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular diseases. 相似文献

The aim of the study was to evaluate blood glucose and lipid lowering effects of Umbelliferone (UMB) in streptozotocin (STZ) diabetic rats. Male albino Wistar rats (180 to 200 g) were induced diabetes by administration of STZ (40 mg/kg) intraperitonially. Normal and diabetic rats were treated with UMB in 10 percent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) for 45 days. Diabetic rats had increased plasma glucose and decreased insulin, total proteins (TP), and albumin in addition to decreased food intake and body weight. Elevation in total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), very low density lipoprotein cholesterol (VLDL-C), triglycerides (TG), free fatty acids (FFA), and phospholipids (PL), and reduction in high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) in the plasma were observed. Liver and kidney tissues of diabetic rats had elevation in the levels of TC, TG, FFA, and PL. Treatment with UMB decreased plasma glucose and increased insulin, TP, and albumin apart from food intake and body weight. In UMB-treated diabetic rats, plasma and tissue TC, TG, PL and FFA, and plasma LDL-C, VLDL-C, and HDL-C reversed to near normal. Thus, reduction of blood glucose and lipid profiles indicates that UMB has antidiabetic and antihyperlipidemic effects in diabetic rats. 相似文献

AimsRosiglitazone and fenofibrate, specific agonists of the peroxisome proliferator activated receptors-γ (PPARγ) and -α (PPARα), respectively, improve insulin sensitivity in diabetic animals and in patients with type 2 diabetes. Here we investigated how pre-diabetic Otsuka Long–Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats fed with normal and high-fat diets respond to these PPAR agonists.Main methodsPre-diabetic OLETF rats were subjected to high-fat or standard diets with or without rosiglitazone or fenofibrate for 2 weeks. The metabolism of the rats and the levels of malonyl-CoA and activities of malonyl-CoA decarboxylase (MCD), acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACC), and AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) in metabolic tissues were assessed.Key findingsRosiglitazone and fenofibrate significantly improved insulin sensitivity and reduced the levels of plasma triglycerides and free fatty acids in OLETF rats fed with a high-fat diet. Fenofibrate particularly reduced the body weight, fat, and total cholesterol in high fat diet OLETF rats. The highly elevated malonyl-CoA levels in the skeletal muscle and liver of OLETF rat were significantly reduced by rosiglitazone or fenofibrate due to, in part, the increased MCD activities and expression. On the other hand, ACC activities were unchanged in skeletal muscle and decreased in liver in high fat diet group. AMPK activities were dramatically decreased in OLETF rats and not affected by these agonists.SignificanceThese results demonstrate that treatment of pre-diabetic OLETF rats–particularly those fed a high-fat diet–with rosiglitazone and fenofibrate significantly improves insulin sensitivity and fatty acid metabolism by increasing the activity of MCD and reducing malonyl-CoA levels in the liver and skeletal muscle. 相似文献

In Zucker diabetic fatty rats plasma leptin levels are correlated with plasma insulin levels rather than with body weight. 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The obese (ob) gene product leptin, secreted from adipose tissue, acts in the hypothalamus to regulate body energy stores. In vitro experiments showed that insulin increases both leptin mRNA expression and leptin secretion by adipocytes. Here, we report on the relationship between plasma insulin and plasma leptin in a longitudinal in vivo study. In Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats, an animal model for non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), and in ZDF control rats, blood glucose, body weight, plasma insulin and plasma leptin levels were measured from 10 to 25 weeks of age. In ZDF control rats, body weight, plasma leptin and plasma insulin levels increased gradually during the study period. In ZDF rats, the time course of plasma leptin was similar to that of plasma insulin, but did not parallel that of body weight. Calculation of partial correlation coefficients revealed that in ZDF control rats plasma leptin correlated with body weight rather than with plasma insulin. However, in ZDF rats, plasma leptin correlated with plasma insulin rather than with body weight, suggesting an important role for insulin in the modulation of leptin secretion in this animal model for NIDDM. 相似文献

We measured infarct size after coronary occlusion (30 min) and reperfusion (24 h) in genetic non-insulin-dependent Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF) rats with and without 4-wk cholesterol feeding. Infarct size was similar in ZDF rats and lean control rats but was significantly larger in cholesterol-fed diabetic rats than in cholesterol-fed lean rats (P < 0.05). Plasma levels of glucose, insulin, and triglycerides were significantly higher in diabetic rats and were not influenced by cholesterol feeding. The increase in total plasma cholesterol induced by cholesterol feeding was significantly greater in diabetic rats than in lean rats (P < 0.05). A significant positive correlation was found between total plasma cholesterol and infarct size (P < 0.05). Myeloperoxidase activity, as an index of neutrophil accumulation, was significantly higher and expression of P-selectin was more marked in the ischemic myocardium of cholesterol-fed diabetic rats than of cholesterol-fed lean rats. Acetylcholine-induced endothelium-dependent relaxation (EDR) of aortic rings was markedly impaired in cholesterol-fed diabetic rats. Thus cholesterol feeding significantly exacerbated myocardial injury produced by coronary occlusion-reperfusion in non-insulin-dependent diabetic rats, possibly because of enhanced expression of P-selectin and impairment of EDR in the coronary bed. 相似文献

Cinnamaldehyde—A potential antidiabetic agent 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Cinnamonum zeylanicum (cinnamon) is widely used in traditional system of medicine to treat diabetes in India. The present study was carried out to isolate and identify the putative antidiabetic compounds based on bioassay-guided fractionation; the compound identified decreased the plasma glucose levels. The active compound was purified by repeat column and structure of cinnamaldehyde was determined on the basis of chemical and physiochemical evidence. The LD(50) value of cinnamaldehyde was determined as 1850+/-37 mg/kg bw. Cinnamaldehyde was administered at different doses (5, 10 and 20 mg/kg bw) for 45 days to streptozotocin (STZ) (60 mg/kg bw)-induced male diabetic wistar rats. It was found that plasma glucose concentration was significantly (p<0.05) decreased in a dose-dependent manner (63.29%) compared to the control. In addition, oral administration of cinnamaldehyde (20 mg/kg bw) significantly decreased glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA(1C)), serum total cholesterol, triglyceride levels and at the same time markedly increased plasma insulin, hepatic glycogen and high-density lipoprotein-cholesterol levels. Also cinnamaldehyde restored the altered plasma enzyme (aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, lactate dehydrogenase, alkaline phosphatase and acid phosphatase) levels to near normal. Administration of glibenclamide, a reference drug (0.6 mg/kg bw) also produced a significant (p<0.05) reduction in blood glucose concentration in STZ-induced diabetic rats. The results of this experimental study indicate that cinnamaldehyde possesses hypoglycemic and hypolipidemic effects in STZ-induced diabetic rats. 相似文献

Little is known about the relationship between feed intake behaviour and cholesterol levels in humans. This can be attributed to the fact that feed intake behaviour in humans is difficult to assess. The relationships between feed intake, feed efficiency and feed intake behaviour, and cholesterol and triglyceride levels were investigated at an average age of 187 days, in a pig model consisting of 202 Duroc barrows. Feed intake and feed intake behaviour were recorded individually and daily by means of an electronic identification system. Animals with high levels of total cholesterol also had high levels of high-density lipoprotein (HDL), low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and triglycerides. Animals with high levels of HDL also had high levels of LDL and triglycerides, and animals with high levels of LDL also had high levels of triglycerides. Animals with higher BW, higher backfat thickness, higher BW gain, higher gain of backfat deposition, higher feed intake, higher residual feed intake (RFI) and higher feed intake rate had higher levels of total, HDL and LDL plasma cholesterol. Results indicate that the relationship between feed intake and cholesterol levels is a long-term relationship, while the relationship between RFI and cholesterol levels is more of a short-term nature. The relationship between intake rate and cholesterol plasma levels disappeared after correction for the amount of feed consumed. Results indicate that feed intake independent of metabolic BW, growth and fatness, i.e. 'RFI', was positively correlated with cholesterol plasma levels. This suggests that eating food over and above the maintenance and growth requirements constitutes a health risk independent of the level of fatness. 相似文献
