Abstract
The present studies were performed to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the impairment of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion observed in fasting. Rats fasted for 48 hr displayed marked impairment in their insulin secretory response to both oral and intravenous glucose. Glucose-stimulated insulin secretion was restored within 24 hr by refeeding; actinomycin D given before refeeding blocked the expected return of normal glucose-stimulated insulin secretion despite adequate food intake. Fasted rats refed a diet devoid of carbohydrate failed to display a return of normal insulin secretory responsiveness to oral glucose in contrast to rats fed isocalorically a high carbohydrate diet. Differences in insulin secretion in fed, fasted, and fasted-refed rats could not be attributed to changes in pancreatic insulin content. There was no significant difference in the insulin secretory response to aminophylline of fed, fasted, or fasted-refed rats. The intermittent pulsing of fasted rats with hyperglycemic episodes by the injection of small amounts of glucose (500 mg) intraperitoneally every 8 hr ameliorated the impairment of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion characteristic of the fasting state. These results suggest that the impairment of glucose-stimulated insulin secretion during fasting and its restoration by refeeding are regulated by changes in a glucose-inducible enzyme system in the pancreatic beta cell.

Usage information is collected from two different sources: this site (JCI) and Pubmed Central (PMC). JCI information (compiled daily) shows human readership based on methods we employ to screen out robotic usage. PMC information (aggregated monthly) is also similarly screened of robotic usage.
Various methods are used to distinguish robotic usage. For example, Google automatically scans articles to add to its search index and identifies itself as robotic; other services might not clearly identify themselves as robotic, or they are new or unknown as robotic. Because this activity can be misinterpreted as human readership, data may be re-processed periodically to reflect an improved understanding of robotic activity. Because of these factors, readers should consider usage information illustrative but subject to change.
