Disease Model Core Metabolic Phenotyping: which parameters do we (or need to) measure in Glucose Handling? Peter J Voshol, PhD Director of Disease Model Core Senior Research Associate: Integrative Physiology
Disease Model Core Metabolic Phenotyping: which parameters do we (or need to) measure in Glucose Handling? • Discuss the following: • Glucose-phenotyping: Using CD36-/- as example • Discussing specific considerations and methods • Suggestion for SOP guides for phenotyping
CD36…??? • Fatty acid translocase, also known as CD36: • A receptor for several ligands, including oxidized LDL and long chain fatty acids. • CD36 is abundant in peripheral tissues active in fatty acid metabolism, such as adipose tissue and skeletal and cardiac muscle, where it is involved in high-affinity uptake of fatty acids.
CD36, fatty acid translocator: Knockout leads to altered disposition of FFA’s
Higher insulin sensitivity during a ITT (fixed dose) on chow fed mice.
The dose is important: Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 297: E849–E855, 2009.
Effect of fasting on GTT: glucose and insulin levels: Am J Physiol Endocrinol Metab 295:E1323-E1332, 2008.
Insulin Insulin - + X The principles of a CLAMP: More glucose infusion = higher insulin sensitivity index Exogenous glucose infusion Plasma Compartment Hepatic glucose production Peripheral tissues glucose uptake (euglycemic)

A word on Euglycemia: Normal concentration of glucose in the blood. Also called normoglycemia. The ‘normal’ or baseline fasted glucose concentration measured in your mouse model!
That is why choosing your infusion insulin concentration is very important:

That is why choosing your infusion insulin concentration is very important: Conclusions: Insulin = 3 GIR control = 80 µmol/min GIR model X = 45 µmol/min Model X is insulin resistant compared to controls!!! Insulin = 6 GIR control = 100 µmol/min Gir model x = 100 µmol/min Model X has equal insulin sensitivity compared to control!!!

And fasting has an effect of course: Mice get peripheral insulin sensitivity upon fasting!
Background breeding effect: Diabetes 57:1790–1799, 2008
Back to CD36-/- mouse model: Improved peripheral glucose metabolism J.Lipid Res. 2003. 44: 2270–2277.
CD36-/-: But decreased hepatic insulin sensitivity.
CD36-/-: Due to TG accumulation in CD36-/- mice
What SOP can be suggested to run: • Lipid metabolism • Glucose metabolism • Energy balance
