Corticosterone (CORT) and other glucocorticoids cause peripheral insulin resistance and compensatory increases in β-cell mass. A prolonged high-fat diet (HFD) induces insulin resistance and impairs β-cell insulin secretion. This study examined islet adaptive capacity in rats treated with CORT and a HFD. Male Sprague-Dawley rats (age ∼6 weeks) were given exogenous CORT (400 mg/rat) or wax (placebo) implants and placed on a HFD (60% calories from fat) or standard diet (SD) for 2 weeks (N = 10 per group). CORT-HFD rats developed fasting hyperglycemia (>11 mM) and hyperinsulinemia (∼5-fold higher than controls) and were 15-fold more insulin resistant than placebo-SD rats by the end of ∼2 weeks (Homeostatic Model Assessment for Insulin Resistance [HOMA-IR] levels, 15.08 ± 1.64 vs 1.0 ± 0.12, P < .05). Pancreatic β-cell function, as measured by HOMA-β, was lower in the CORT-HFD group as compared to the CORT-SD group (1.64 ± 0.22 vs 3.72 ± 0.64, P < .001) as well as acute insulin response (0.25 ± 0.22 vs 1.68 ± 0.41, P < .05). Moreover, β- and α-cell mass were 2.6- and 1.6-fold higher, respectively, in CORT-HFD animals compared to controls (both P < .05). CORT treatment increased p-protein kinase C-α content in SD but not HFD-fed rats, suggesting that a HFD may lower insulin secretory capacity via impaired glucose sensing. Isolated islets from CORT-HFD animals secreted more insulin in both low and high glucose conditions; however, total insulin content was relatively depleted after glucose challenge. Thus, CORT and HFD, synergistically not independently, act to promote severe insulin resistance, which overwhelms islet adaptive capacity, thereby resulting in overt hyperglycemia.

ABSTRACT
Maturity-onset Diabetes of the young (MODY) is a monogenic form of diabetes, often misdiagnosed as type 1 or type 2 diabetes mellitus. Pathconysiology &PADDY sgenetic mutation in nuclear transcription factor and glucokinase. causing pancreatic β cell dysfunction.There are some subtypes of MODY based on tne gene mutations. Genetic test is usec to diagnose MODY as it Is important to reach diagnosisfollowed by aporooriate treatmert.

The effect of 48 h of fasting in C57B1/6J-ob/ob and +/+ mice on body weight (BW), blood glucose (BG), serum immunreactive insulin (IRI), plasma immunoreactive glucagon (IRG) and on tissue levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) were studied. Both groups of mice lost weight and demonstrated a decrease in BG and IRI with fasting. However, the BG and IRI of the ob/ob animals were initially highter and remained higher than those of the 2% of their initial weight while the +/+ lost 14 %. The +/+ mice exhibited an increase in cAMP levels in skeletal muscle, fat and liver with fasting, while the ob/ob mice had increased levels of cAMP in fat, but not in muscle. They also had a paradoxical decrease in liver cAMP levels with fasting, and associated with this was the lack of stimulation of glycogenolysis. Glycogenolysis was significant in the livers of fasted +/+ mice. The plasma IRG levels of the fed ob/ob mice were significantly higher (1.8) times) than those of the fed +/+ mice. Islet cAMP levels were decreased with fasting in ob/ob mice. However, the levels were significantly higher in 48-h faster ob/ob mice compared to the fasted +/+ group. The apparent paradoxical response to fasting observed in the livers of the ob/ob mice remains unexplained.

Abstract Dysregulation of the adipoinsular axis in male obese Zucker diabetic fatty (ZDF; fa/fa) rats, a model of type 2 diabetes, results in chronic hyperinsulinemia and increased de novo lipogenesis in islets, leading to β-cell failure and diabetes. Diazoxide (DZ; 150 mg/kg·d), an inhibitor of insulin secretion, was administered to prediabetic ZDF animals for 8 wk as a strategy for prevention of diabetes. DZ reduced food intake (P < 0.02) and rate of weight gain only in ZDF rats (P < 0.01). Plasma insulin response to glucose load was attenuated in DZ-Zucker lean rats (ZL; P < 0.01), whereas DZ-ZDF had higher insulin response to glucose than controls (P < 0.001). DZ improved hemoglobin A1c (P < 0.001) and glucose tolerance in ZDF (P < 0.001), but deteriorated hemoglobin A1c in ZL rats (P < 0.02) despite normal tolerance in the fasted state. DZ lowered plasma leptin (P < 0.001), free fatty acid, and triglyceride (P < 0.001) levels, but increased adiponectin levels (P < 0.02) only in ZDF rats. DZ enhanced β3-adrenoreceptor mRNA (P < 0.005) and adenylate cyclase activity (P < 0.01) in adipose tissue from ZDF rats only, whereas it enhanced islet β3- adrenergic receptor mRNA (P < 0.005) but paradoxically decreased islet adenylate cyclase activity (P < 0.005) in these animals. Islet fatty acid synthase mRNA (P < 0.03), acyl coenzyme A carboxylase mRNA (P < 0.01), uncoupling protein-2 mRNA (P < 0.01), and triglyceride content (P < 0.005) were only decreased in DZ-ZDF rats, whereas islet insulin mRNA and insulin content were increased in DZ-ZDF (P < 0.01) and DZ-ZL rats (P < 0.03). DZ-induced β-cell rest improved the lipid profile, enhanced the metabolic efficiency of insulin, and prevented β-cell dysfunction and diabetes in diabetes-prone animals. This therapeutic strategy may be beneficial in preventing β-cell failure and progression to diabetes in humans.

Religious maturity, a classic problem in the psychology of religion, is reinterpreted in order to reflect the lived experience of aging people. Using an approach modeled on Erik Erikson's description of ego integrity, this paper examines attributes of religious maturity revealed in the ways aging people remember the past, experience the prescnt, and anticipate the future. While most descriptions of religious maturity appear to apply primarily to healthy, active, middle-aged adults, this paper argues that frail elderly persons need not lose their claim to religious maturity.

In normal rats, females have higher circulating GH-binding protein (GHBP) levels than males, whereas in the GH-deficient dwarf (Dw) rat, there is no sexual dimorphism in plasma GHBP, suggesting that GH secretion may be involved in this difference. In order to study the relationship between gonadal steroids and GH on GHBP and GH receptor regulation, the levels of plasma GHBP, hepatic bovine GH, and human GH (hGH) binding as well as GHBP and GH receptor messenger RNA (mRNA) have now been studied in normal, Dw, hypophysectomized (Hx), or ovariectomized (Ovx) rats, subjected to different GH and gonadal steroid exposure. In normal male rats, estradiol (E2, 12.5-25 micrograms/day for 1 or 2 weeks) markedly increased plasma GHBP and hepatic hGH, and bGH binding. These effects of E2 were diminished in Dw rats, absent in Hx rats, but restored in Hx rats given exogenous hGH. Plasma GHBP rose in female rats given E2, and fell in females given the anti-estrogen tamoxifen. Ovx animals had lower plasma GHBP and hepatic GH binding which was reversed by E2, but not testosterone treatment. Continuous hGH infusions in Ovx rats restored hepatic GH binding, and increased plasma GHBP. In Dw males, hGH increased plasma GHBP and hepatic GH binding, whereas testosterone had no effect on GHBP or GH receptors and did not affect their up-regulation by hGH. Hepatic levels of GHBP-, and GH receptor mRNA transcripts showed the same trends in response to steroid or GH treatment, but the differences were rarely significant, except in Ovx animals which had higher GHBP mRNA transcripts after GH or E2 treatment. Thus E2 and GH increase both plasma GHBP and hepatic GH receptor binding. GH up-regulates GHBP in the absence of E2, whereas E2 treatment does not raise GHBP in the absence of GH. Whereas some of the effects of estrogen could be mediated via alterations in GH secretion, estrogen may also directly influence GHBP production at the liver, but only in the presence of GH.

The maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), an autosomal dominant form of non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), is caused by mutations in the glucokinase (GK, MODY 2) and in the hepatocyte nuclear factor 1a (MODY 3) and 4a (MODY1) genes. We have screened the glucokinase gene by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) in fifteen subjects with clinical characteristics of MODY and one parent with NIDDM, impaired glucose tolerance or gestational diabetes. PCR products with abnormal mobility in DGGE were directly sequenced. We have identified four mutant alleles, three of them (G80S, E221K, G227C) are new missense mutations located in or near the region of the active site cleft of the enzyme. The mutations co-segregate with hyperglycemia in the families of the three probands, whose biochemical and clinical phenotype is similar to other individuals with MODY 2 mutations.

Is sin necessary to or conducive to maturity? Evidence supporting a positive reply is explained as founded either in cases where “sin” is only apparently such, or in cases where the sin is the lesser of two evils, and so comparatively a “good.” It is argued that sin and maturity are not connected casually but come to be associated through risk-taking, which can both tend to develop maturity and lead to sin. In fact, Christian ideals of innocence and maturity are not easily harmonized with psychological standards of maturity. It is only the sin that is suffered that can promote maturity.
