Abstract
Four-day-old rat pups that are raised artificially on a high-carbohydrate (HC) milk formula immediately develop hyperinsulinemia, which persists into adulthood without any further nutritional stimulus. cDNA array analysis was used to identify large-scale changes in gene expression patterns in islets from 12- and 100-day-old HC rats in response to the HC dietary modification during the suckling period. It was observed that the expression of several genes that belong to clusters involved in β-cell development and/or β-cell function was significantly upregulated in islets from 12- and 100-day-old HC rats. It is inferred that in addition to predicted changes in gene expression, for example preproinsulin gene, global changes in gene expression contribute to the hyperinsulinemic state in the HC rat.
