Exercise training in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty rat, a model of spontaneous non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus: effects on the B-cell mass, insulin content and fibrosis in the pancreas.

Abstract：

:The effects of exercise on alterations in the amount of B-cell mass, insulin content and fibrous tissue present in the pancreas were examined for a diabetic state induced by a 70% pancreatectomy and a prediabetic state in Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rat, a model for the spontaneous development of non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). The rats (5-weeks old) were trained either by a 6-week running program or sedentary controls, and at 6-weeks of age, received either a 70% pancreatectomy or a sham-pancreatectomy (sham). As in our previous report, persistent hyperglycemia was detected after surgery for both trained pancreatectomized (Px) and sedentary Px groups. In the nondiabetic sham rats, exercise training resulted in a significantly smaller increase in body weight and beneficial effects on the pancreas as reflected by an increase in pancreatic volume, accompanied by increases in B-cell mass and insulin content as well as less connective tissue in the pancreas compared with the sedentary nondiabetic sham rats. The effect was not sufficient to improve sustained hyperglycemia in the trained diabetic Px rats. This is probably due to a decreased capacity for B-cell proliferation in response to an increased demand for insulin. Although exercise failed to improve this inherent defect in B-cell proliferation, it ameliorated the further deterioration of the pancreas which occurred with hyperglycemia, and resulted in a higher quantity of insulin stored per milligram of B-cell mass (as function of B-cell mass) and less fibrosis in the pancreas, compared with the sedentary diabetic Px rats. The findings of the present study suggest that exercise training has a beneficial effect on the pancreas in the nondiabetic state, and also exerts some positive effects in the diabetic state in this model rat.
