Glucose tolerance and insulin secretion were studied in non-diabetic littermates (n = 154) of BB diabetic rats, aged 4-6 months. Initial screening involved two intraperitoneal glucose tolerance tests (0.2 g/100 g body weight) performed one week apart. Nineteen rats (12%) were found to have impaired

The effects of increased tissue glycogen stores on insulin sensitivity, and on the response of insulin-stimulated glucose utilisation to an acute elevation in plasma fatty acid levels (-1.5 mmol/1), were investigated in conscious rats using the hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp.

Rats were provided both with brain cannulas, to permit infusion of fluids in the ventromedial and lateral hypothalamic areas (resp. VMH and LH), and with two heart catheters. In this way infusions of fluids and withdrawal of blood could be done in unanesthetized free moving animals. Infusion of nore
