CHEN Xian, et al. Membrane glycoprotein CD36 deficiency promotes insulin resistance in C57BL/6 mice[J]. Journal of Chongqing Medical University, 2010,35(4):485-487.
Objective:To explore whether CD36 deficiency promotes insulin resistancein the C57BL/6 mice.Methods:Micewerefedwith a high-fat die(tn=7)for 14 weeks.Intravenous glucose tolerance tests
insulin release and tolerance tests were performed.Triglyceride and free fat acid levels in serum were measured.Results:Compared with the C57BL/6 mice
blood levels of glucose
insulin
triglyceride and free fatty acid were increased in the CD36 knockout mice.Conclusion:The CD36 deficiency indeed promotes insulin resistance in the C57BL/6 mice.
