Popis: Basal heart triacylglycerol (TG) (mumole triacylglycerol/g of dry weight) (- before "in vitro" Langendorff perfusion -) was significantly higher in animals rendered chronically hypertriglyceridaemic (H) by a 63% sucrose-rich diet than in controls (C, standard diet); 28 +/- 2.6 means + SEM vs. 19.3 +/- 1.2; respectively (p less than 0.01). After 40' perfusion with Krebs-Henseleit buffer + 5.5 mM glucose, 2.5 mM Ca++, TG content fell to 14.2 +/- 0.6 in C and 14.9 +/- 1.9 in H (n.S.). Administration of 1 n mol x min-1 of glucagon (Gn) from min 20 to 40 reduced TG to 9.0 +/- 0.5 in C (p less than 0.05). In contrast no effect of Gn was observed in H (TG at min 40: 16.7 +/- 2.5). Glycogen (Gly) content (mumol/g of dry weight) after Gn perfusion fell from 30 +/- 1.9 to 17 +/- 2.1 (p less than 0.01) in C, while again no effect was recorded in H. "In vivo" plasma glucose fractional coefficient disappearance rate was lower (p less than 0.001) in H: 1.01 x 10(-2) +/- 0.09 x 10(-2) vs 2.61 x 10(-2) +/- 0.14 x 10(-2) in C, in spite of H showing hyperinsulin secretion. Hyperinsulinism was further documented by "in vitro" Iri release studies from incubated pancreas pieces. In the absence of glucose (G) from the incubation medium H produced 541 +/- 19.8 mU/mg weight Tissue/20', while C produced 91.2 +/- 12.7 (p less than 0.001). With 100 mg% G, H released 1058 +/- 259 and C 377 +/- 82.5 (p less than 0.001). It is suggested that hyperinsulin secretion plus insulin resistance may account for the above findings.
