“…In contrast, captive Glossophaga soricina individuals reached a peak of 360 mg/dL after 30 minutes when fed with a similar single dose (Kelm et al, 2011) and did not exceed 470 mg/dL even when fed a higher glucose dose (9 g/kg). Nectar bats from Glossophaginae and Lonchophyllinae subfamilies exhibited a slower decline in blood glucose levels compared to fruit bats, consistent with recent studies that found no plasma insulin response to feeding in nectar-bats at rest and proposed an exercise-mediated regulation of glucose homeostasis (Welch et al, 2008; Welch & Chen, 2014; Kelm et al, 2011; Peng et al, 2017; Castro et al, 2021). These findings highlight how sugar assimilation capability in Neotropical bats reflects their natural food preferences, raising questions about how bats with different diets can absorb and compensate for variations in circulating blood glucose.…”

“…We also predicted differences along the C-terminal end of the ICH5 domain, which undergoes post-translational modification for stability along the cell surface of pancreatic beta cells (Huttlin et al, 2010). It might be possible, that the stability of glucose sensing by the pancreas is transient in nectar and vampire bats, which might explain why these species have low levels of circulating insulin in response to glucose (Freitas et al, 2013; Castro et al, 2021).…”

“…Apesar de existirem poucos estudos com A. caudifer, considera-se que a absorção intestinal paracelular seja um processo essencial nos morcegos, onde a glicose pode ser rapidamente absorvida e utilizada como combustível para o voo (Voigt e Speakman, 2007;Brun et al, 2019). Por outro lado, problemas decorrentes de hiperglicemia podem ser superados, nessa espécie, com a ação da insulina, além do exercício corporal que impede o estabelecimento da condição patológica de uma hiperglicemia crônica Castro et al, 2021).…”

“…Segundo estes autores, E. helvum pode mobilizar a reserva de glicogênio nos intervalos em que não está forrageando à noite ou quando está em jejum durante o dia. Castro et al (2021), analisando as reservas de glicogênio em A. caudifer, alimentados com glicose e colocados para exercitar, não relataram mobilização de suas reservas após exercício do voo, evidenciando o papel da ingestão e utilização de carboidratos exógenos para fornecer energia durante o voo.…”
