| Abstract: | This study was designed to investigate the effect of aging on the glucose metabolism on cynomolgus (Macaca fascicularis) monkeys. A total of 33 cynomolgus monkeys in three aged groups were monitored for glucose levels, serum parameters in fasting
state and somatometric measurements. Intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) and insulin tolerance test (ITT) were also
performed. Aging associated changes lies in the less secretion of insulin and C-peptide during IVGTT in cynomolgus monkeys.
It was also found that impaired insulin sensitivity occurred in female monkeys during aging based on HOMA-IR and KITT value. In addition, triglyceride level also rose with the increase of age. Less insulin secretion and impaired insulin sensitivity
in female were the characteristic during the aging of cynomolgus monkeys in this study. Body mass index, weight and waist
hip rate may be the relevant factors in insulin resistance of cynomolgus monkeys. |
