This study aimed to determine the relative importance of different functional and morphological pancreatic changes induced by the chronic administration of a sucrose-rich diet (SRD) to maintain normal glucose homeostasis. Male Wistar rats were fed either sucrose (SRD) or starch (CD) for 6 and 12 months. At both periods, serum glucose and triacylglycerol levels were significantly higher (P<0.05; paired and unpaired Student's t-test) in SRD rats. Serum insulin levels were significantly lower in SRD only at 12 months. At 6 months, the insulin secretion dose-response curve in SRD rats showed a shift to the left that was no longer observed at 12 months, when SRD islets decreased their response to 16 mM glucose. At 6 months, SRD rats showed a sig...
