Abstract;We defined a high-fat, high-calorie diet (HFCD) as one doubling the minimum daily calorie intake by adding lard. Six beagles (3 males and 3 females) were fed an HFCD diet for 3 months. Before and after the diet, dogs were examined by intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) and euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp technique (GCT). After the HFCD, when insulin was infused at 2.5 and 5.0 mU/kg/min in the GCT, the glucose required to maintain the baseline decreased significantly. In the second IVGTT, the peak response and total secretion of plasma insulin increased significantly but, interestingly, no change was observed in either fasting plasma insulin or blood glucose half life. These results show that a 3-months HFCD induced an increased insulin response to glucose and wholebody insulin resistance, while fasting plasma insulin and glucose remained unchanged. Given that these findings represent the absence of hepatic insulin resistance, the HFCD appears primarily to impair peripheral insulin sensitivilty. (author abst.)
