[Age-related changes in the carbohydrate and fat metabolic indices of female rats]
Abstract:
The blood level of sugar, serum level of cholesterol and triglyceride were not changed in female rats aged between 3 to 14-16 months, whereas insulin and somatomedin levels were increased. In 24-month-old persistent estrous rats the increased insulin, cholesterol and trigliceride levels were found. The oral glucose tolerance test revealed a decrease in glucose utilization, delay of reactive insulinemia and abolishment of an increase in glucose-induced somatomedinemia.
