Effect of pinealectomy on plasma levels of insulin and leptin and on hepatic lipids in type 2 diabetic rats
Abstract
We previously reported that pharmacological melatonin administration to type 2 diabetic rats reduces hyperinsulinemia and improves the altered fatty-acid metabolism. To determine whether melatonin deficiency exacerbates diabetes-associated conditions, we investigated the effect of pinealectomy (i.e. melatonin-deficiency) on plasma hormone levels and lipid metabolism in type 2 diabetic Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats. We compared...
