The pancreatic islet vasculature is of fundamental importance to the β-cell response to obesity-associated insulin resistance. To explore islet vascular alterations in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, we evaluated two insulin resistance models:ob/obmice, which sustain large β-cell mass and hyperinsulinemia, anddb/dbmice, which progress to diabetes due to secondary β-cell compensation failure for insulin secretion. Time-dependent changes in islet vasculature and blood flow were investigated using tomato lectin staining andin vivolive imaging. Marked islet capillary dilation was observed inob/obmice, but this adaptive change was blunted indb/dbmice. Islet blood flow volume was augmented inob/obmice, whereas it was reduced indb/dbmice. The protein concentrations of total and phosphorylated endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) at Ser1177 were increased inob/obislets, while they were diminished indb/dbmice, indicating decreased eNOS activity. This was accompanied by an increased retention of advanced glycation end-products indb/dbblood vessels. Amelioration of diabetes byElovl6deficiency involved a restoration of capillary dilation, blood flow, and eNOS phosphorylation indb/dbislets. Our findings suggest that the disability of islet capillary dilation due to endothelial dysfunction impairs local islet blood flow, which may play a role in the loss of β-cell function and further exacerbate type 2 diabetes.
