Abstract

The effect of hyperthyroidism on glucose turnover in BHE rats fed menhaden oil was studied. Thyroxine-treated rats had a greater glucose mass, a greater absolute glucose synthesis rate, less hepatic and muscle glycogen levels, and greater hepatic and peripheral fat cell lipogenic rates than nontreated rats. No differences in body weight gain were observed, nor were there differences in blood glucose levels, glucose space, or fractional reversible or irreversible glucose use. These observations suggest that thyroxine and menhaden oil were additive in their effects on glucose metabolism in BHE rats, which are genetically programmed to develop non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.
