摘要：This investigation considered whether defects in insulin secretion and insulin action may result in the development of sustained hyperglycemia induced by refeeding standard chow pellets. Hyperglycemia, sustained for 36 h was induced, in mice that ate standard chow pellets ad libitum after 48 h fasting, but not 24 h fasting. In 48 h-fasted mice, serum insulin levels were remarkably low and the ability of insulin secretion to respond to glucose was decreased, although insulin-stimulated glucose disposal was not impaired. However, hyperinsulinemia was observed after refeeding for 12 h. The 12 h-refed mice had impaired glucose tolerance and were remarkably insulin resistant. These results suggest that hyperglycemia induced by the fasting-refeeding was caused by hyperphagia and the failure of insulin secretion, and maintained the resulting induced insulin resistance.
