Abstract

Progressive decline of islet β cell mass is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes, where nutritional insults are invoked in the pathologic process. Its detailed mechanisms are, however, incompletely understood. We explored the effect of sucrose diet on mitochondria in Goto Kakizaki (GK) rats, a spontaneously diabetic model. Six-week-old male GK rats were given 30% sucrose orally for 2 weeks. Normal Wistar rats fed with sucrose served as controls. Compared to untreated GK rats, sucrose-fed GK rats showed severe degeneration and death of β cells with disrupted and swollen mitochondria and a greater β cell loss. Submicroscopic analysis disclosed a smaller mean volume and a greater number of mitochondria in β cells in GK rats compared to those in Wistar rats. Mitochondria in sucrose-fed GK rats were 2.4-fold greater in mean volume than those in untreated state. Without sucrose feeding, there was no significant difference in mitochondrial membrane potentials (MmPs) of isolated islets between Wistar and GK rats. MmPs were reduced by 44% in sucrose-fed GK rats but not influenced in sucrose-fed Wistar rats. Current results suggest that nutritional insults like sucrose feeding may exert deleterious effects on mitochondria, resulting in augmented β cell loss in type 2 diabetes.
