Impaired neural regulation of insulin secretion related to the leptin receptor gene mutation in Wistar fatty rats. Physiology & behavior, 2000, Sep-15, Volume: 70, Issue:5 The Wistar fatty (WF) rat is a model of obese Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM). These rats were bred by crossing Zucker fatty (ZF) and Wistar-Kyoto (WKY) rats. A homo-allelic leptin receptor gene mutation has been reported in ZF rats. We report here how these genetic factors contribute to plasma insulin regulation. The fasting plasma insulin levels were higher in WKY and Wistar lean (WL) rats than in Zucker lean (ZL) rats (p<0.05). The levels in WF and ZF rats were higher than in their respective lean littermates, WL and ZL rats (p<0.05). After intragastric glucose load, the plasma insulin increase was reduced upon pretreatment by intracerebroventricular (i. c.v.) methylatropine (an antagonist of the cholinergic receptor) injection in WL rats (p<0.05) but not in WF rats. Plasma glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) response to intragastric glucose load was not affected by methylatropine. After selective hepatic-vagotomy, plasma insulin levels increased in wild-type ZL rats (p<0.05). This increase was not observed in heterozygote ZL rats. Surprisingly, this response of plasma insulin was not shown in wild-type WL and WKY rats. ZF and WF rats did show a prominent decrease in insulin response (p<0.05). These results indicate that the genetic factor in ZF rats is associated with impaired vagal nerve-mediated control of insulin secretion. The genetic factor in WKY rats may diminish sensitivity to the vagal information of insulin release and contribute to insulin resistance. Therefore, we conclude that the presence of both genetic factors in a homo-allelic state is important to the development of DM in WF rats.
