We analyzed the effect of low birth weight oil pancreatic beta cell mass. We used pregnant C57BL6J mice, and we reduced their food Supply by 30% during the late gestational period and examined the changes in the metabolism and pancreatic beta cell mass. Pancreatic beta cell mass at birth was greatly decreased in the mice of the food restriction group (RG) as compared to the mice of the control group (CG). The body weight of RG mice exhibited a "catch-up growth" pattern and became equivalent to that of CG mice 7 days after birth, and thereafter exceeded that of CG mice; however, the pancreatic beta cell mass in RG mice remained lower than that in CG mice at the age of 4 weeks. A high-fat diet significantly increased the pancreatic beta cell mass in RG mice as compared to that in CG mice at 12 weeks of age. However, RG mice fed oil high-fat diets tended to exhibit a decrease in the pancreatic beta cell mass at approximately 20 weeks of age. The plasma insulin concentrations also tended to be decreased in RG mice after 24 weeks of age as compared to those of CG mice. These results thus indicate that the growth of pancreatic beta cells is insufficient in RG mice, and pancreatic beta cell Failure can easily develop as a consequence Of insulin resistance.
