PURPOSE: To evaluate metabolic effects in experimental model of glucocorticoid-induced insulin resistance.METHODS: Twenty Wistar male rats were randomly divided into two groups, which were treated with intraperitoneally injected dexamethasone 1mg/Kg/day for ten days consecutively ( Group D; n=10) and placebo (Group C; n=10). The variables analyzed were: from the first to the 10th day - body weight (before and after treatment); food and water daily consumption; on the 10th day - glycemia, insulinemia, HOMA-beta and HOMA-IR. The blood samples for laboratory analysis were obtained by intracardiac puncture. Also on the 10th day liver fragments were taken for analyzing glycogen and fattty.RESULTS: Group D animals compared to group C had: weight reduction (g), (D=226.5+/-24.7 vs C=295.0+/-25.4; p=0.001); increased glycemia (mmol/l) (D=19.5+/-2.1 vs C=14.2+/-3.1; p=0.0001); diminished insulinemia (mU/l) (D=0.2+/-0.1 vs C=2.0+/-0.4; p=0.0001); reduced HOMA-beta (D=0.2+/-0.1 vs C=4.2+/-1.7; p=0.0002); diminished HOMA-IR (D=0.2+/-0.1 vs C=1.3+/-0.4; p=0.0002). Histological examination of the liver showed that 100% of group D and none of group C had moderate fatty. (p=0.2).CONCLUSION: Animals treated with glucocorticoid, in this experimental model, expressed hyperglycemia, hypoinsulinism and decreased peripheral insulin sensitivity.
