We investigated the cellular mechanisms responsible for the inability of 8-month-old previously malnourished (PM) females to adapt their beta-cell mass during pregnancy. The evolution during pregnancy of beta-cell fraction, size and proliferation was studied. At day 21 of pregnancy beta-cell fraction increased less in PM than in control females, compared with their non-pregnant values. A slight beta-cell hypertrophy was observed during pregnancy in both groups. In control females, beta-cell 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine (BrdU) labelling index (LI) increased from 0.07 +/- 0.04% before pregnancy to 1.13 +/- 0.20% at day 12 and decreased thereafter to reach again basal levels at day 21. In PM females, beta-cell proliferation rate was decreased at day 12 (0.74 +/- 0.15%, P
