Metabolic responses to euglycaemic hyperinsulinaemia in lactating and non-lactating sheep in vivo

Abstract: Glucose utilization and production and changes in concentrations of plasma metabolites were studied in lactating and non-lactating sheep in response to three levels of insulin infusion whilst maintaining euglycaemia. Glucose utilization and production responded to insulin infusion similarly in both lactating and non-lactating ewes but, as circulating concentrations of insulin were lower in lactating animals, these parameters appeared more sensitive to plasma concentrations of insulin in lactating sheep.

“…Endogenous glucose production was suppressed by 30 to 60% and glucose utilization was stimulated by 0 to 30% when plasma insulin concentration was increased to twofold that of basal states by insulin infusion with a maintained plasma glucose concentration [29][30][31]. This suggests that the increase in plasma insulin concentration during the postfeeding period in the present study should produce a decrease in glucose entry and no change or a slight increase in glucose utilization.…”

“…Insulin resistance is commonly observed during late gestation and early lactation (Prior and Christenson, 1978;Debrass et al, 1989;Faulkner and Pollock, 1990;Petterson et al, 1994). Glucose utilization by peripheral tissues is lower for pregnant animals than for non-pregnant and lactating animals (Hay et al, 1988;Nieuwenhuizen et al, 1998).…”
