Recent studies suggest that the rate of nutrient transit through the upper gastrointestract may provide cues that are important to the control of food intake. We examined gastrointestinal function in rats with streptozotocin-induced diabetes and related these findings to concomitant changes in food intake. Control and diabetic rats were adapted to one of two isocaloric diets either high in carbohydrate or fat. Control rats ate similar amounts of each diet. In contrast, diabetic animals fed high-carbohydrate diet were hyperphagic, whereas those fed low-carbohydrate diet ate normal amounts of food. Gastric emptying, intestinal mass, disaccharidase activity, and glucose absorption were increased in normophagic diabetic rats fed a low-carbohydrate diet. Feeding diabetic rats high-carbohydrate diet potentiated each of these effects, and food intake was highly correlated with rate of gastric emptying. These and other results indicate that diabetes enhances gastric emptying and intestinal carbohydrate digestion and absorption, even in the absence of hyperphagia. Consequently, the hyperphagia of diabetic rats may be in part a behavioral response to a greatly accelerated clearance of nutrients from the upper gastrointestinal tract that occurs when these animals are fed diets rich in carbohydrate.

Previous studies have demonstrated enhanced active and passive uptake of many nutrients in animals with experimental diabetes. These changes in absorption cannot be explained by differences in intestinal morphology, although the brush border membrance (BBM) phospholipids do change in diabetes. Manipulation of diet produces alterations in intestinal uptake of lipids and glucose. This study was undertaken to determine the effect of diet and diabetes on jejunal morphology and BBM lipid composition. Rats were rendered hyperglycemic with streptozotocin and were fed for 2 weeks on a diet that was high or low in carbohydrate, essential fatty acids, cholesterol, or protein. In both control and diabetic rats, these diets produced changes in villus height and BBM sucrase and alkaline phosphatase activities. In both control and diabetic rats, BBM phospholipids were unaffected by changes in the dietary content of essential fatty acids, cholesterol, or protein, but total BBM phospholipid content was reduced in animals fed low as compared with high carbohydrate diet. Total BBM phospholipid content was higher in diabetic than in control animals fed the low protein diet, whereas BBM phospholipid content was lower in diabetic than in control animals fed the high carbohydrate diet, and was even lower in diabetic animals fed the low as compared with the high carbohydrate diet. These changes in total phospholipids were due to alterations in the BBM content of phospholipids containing choline. In control animals, BBM cholesterol was higher in rats fed the low as compared with the high cholesterol diet, or the low as compared with the high protein diet. In diabetic rats, BBM cholesterol was higher than in animals fed the low as compared with the high essential fatty acid or high protein diet. BBM cholesterol was higher in diabetic than in control rats only when fed the low essential fatty acid diet. The results show that (i) diabetes and dietary manipulation produce changes in villus morphology, BBM enzymes, and lipids, but there is no apparent relationship between alterations in the various parameters measured; and (ii) diet and diabetes may alter lipid uptake as a result of qualitative and quantitative changes in the choline phospholipids in the intestinal brush border membrane.

We examined the effect of dietary carbohydrate intake on post-exercise glycogen recovery. Male Institute of Cancer Research (ICR) mice were fed moderate-carbohydrate chow (MCHO, 50%cal from carbohydrate) or high-carbohydrate chow (HCHO, 70%cal from carbohydrate) for 10 days. They then ran on a treadmill at 25 m/min for 60 min and administered an oral glucose solution (1.5 mg/g body weight). Compared to the MCHO group, the HCHO group showed significantly higher sodium-D-glucose co-transporter 1 protein levels in the brush border membrane fraction (p = 0.003) and the glucose transporter 2 level in the mucosa of jejunum (p = 0.004). At 30 min after the post-exercise glucose administration, the skeletal muscle and liver glycogen levels were not significantly different between the two diet groups. The blood glucose concentration from the portal vein (which is the entry site of nutrients from the gastrointestinal tract) was not significantly different between the groups at 15 min after the post-exercise glucose administration. There was no difference in the total or phosphorylated states of proteins related to glucose uptake and glycogen synthesis in skeletal muscle. Although the high-carbohydrate diet significantly increased glucose transporters in the jejunum, this adaptation stimulated neither glycogen recovery nor glucose absorption after the ingestion of post-exercise glucose.

Amomum tsao-ko Crevost et Lemaire (Zingiberaceae) is a medicinal herb found in Southeast Asia that is used for the treatment of malaria, abdominal pain, dyspepsia, etc. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of an ethanol extract of Amomum tsao-ko (EAT) on obesity and hyperlipidemia in C57BL/6 mice fed a high-carbohydrate diet (HCD). First, the mice were divided into five groups (n = 6/group) as follows: normal diet, HCD, and HCD+EAT (100, 200, and 400 mg/kg/day), which were orally administered with EAT daily for 84 days. Using microcomputed tomography (micro-CT) analysis, we found that EAT inhibited not only body-weight gain, but also visceral fat and subcutaneous fat accumulation. Histological analysis confirmed that EAT decreased the size of fat tissues. EAT consistently improved various indices, including plasma levels of total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, atherogenic index, and cardiac risk factors, which are related to dyslipidemia—a major risk factor for heart disease. The contents of TC and TG, as well as the lipid droplets of HCD-induced hepatic accumulation in the liver tissue, were suppressed by EAT. Taken together, these findings suggest the possibility of developing EAT as a therapeutic agent for improving HCD-induced obesity and hyperlipidemia.
