To investigate the influence of a high carbohydrate (HC) intake during the suckling period on pancreatic function in adult life, neonatal rats were artificially reared on a HC milk formula during the preweaning period and then weaned onto lab chow. In the adult HC rat, hyperinsulinemia is sustained by a variety of biochemical and molecular adaptations induced in the HC islets during the suckling period. The adult HC islets showed a distinct left shift in the glucose-stimulated insulin-secretory pattern. HC islets were also able to secrete moderate levels of insulin in the absence of glucose and in the presence of Ca2+ channel inhibitors. In addition, the mRNA levels of preproinsulin, somatostatin transcription factor-1, upstream stimulatory factor-1, stress-activated protein kinase-2, phosphatidylinositol kinase, and GLUT-2 genes were significantly increased in HC islets. These results show that consumption of a HC formula during the suckling period programs pancreatic islet function in adult rats, resulting in the maintenance of hyperinsulinemia in the postweaning period and eventually leading to the development of obesity in adult life.
