    Differential metabolic response to 48 h food deprivation at different times of pregnancy in the rat.
    2001-09-19T15:39:45Z

    Since during pregnancy the mother switches from an anabolic to a catabolic condition, the present study was addressed to determine the effect of 48 h food deprivation on days 7, 14 and 20 of pregnancy in the rat as compared to age matched virgin controls. Body weight, free of conceptus, decreased with food deprivation more in pregnant than in virgin rats, with fetal weight (day 20) also diminishing with maternal starvation. The decline of plasma glucose with food deprivation was greatest in 20 day pregnant rats. Insulin was highest in fed 14 day pregnant rats, and declined with food deprivation in all the groups, the effect being not significant in 7-day pregnant rats. Food deprivation increased plasma glycerol only in virgin and 20 day pregnant rats. Plasma NEFA and 3-hydroxybutyrate increased with food deprivation in all groups, the effect being highest in 20 day pregnant rats. Food deprivation decreased plasma triacylglycerols in 14 day pregnant rats but increased in 20 day pregnant rats. In 20-day fetuses, plasma levels of glucose, NEFA and triacylglycerols were lower than in their mothers when fed, and food deprivation caused a further decline in plasma glucose, whereas both NEFA and 3-hydroxybutyrate increased. Liver triacylglycerols concentration did not differ among the groups when fed, whereas food deprivation caused an increase in all pregnant rats and fetuses, the effect being highest in 20-day pregnant rats. Lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity in adipose tissue was lower in 20 day pregnant rats than in any of the other groups when fed, and it decreased in all the groups with food deprivation, whereas in liver it was very low in all groups when fed and increased with food deprivation only in 20 day pregnant rats. A significant increase in liver LPL was found with food deprivation in 20 day fetuses, reaching higher values than their mothers. Thus, the response to food deprivation varies with the time of pregnancy, being lowest at mid pregnancy and greatest at late pregnancy, and although fetuses respond in the same direction as their mothers, they show a specific response in liver LPL activity
