Abstract
Objective To investigate the expression of MafA in pancreas of rats with intrauterine growth retardation(IUGR). Methods Female and male Wister rats were copulated by 5∶1,followed by randomly dividing into two groups:low protein group(LPG)and control group(CG).Rats in LPG were treated with low protein fodder from 1st day after pregnancy until delivery; meanwhile,standard fodder was given to the rats in CG.Fasting blood glucose and blood glucose after glucose load were detected between IUGR and CG.The removed pancreas of the rats measured weight.HE staining was applied to detect the pancreatic morphological changes under light microscope.Eventually,immunohistochemisty staining was performed to detect the expression of MafA in pancreas of rats. 【Result】 Statistically significant reduction of fasting blood glucose were observed in IUGR compared with CG.Likewise,the pancreatic weight was significantly depressed in IUGR compared with CG(P<0.05);however,slowly decrease of blood glucose in IUGR was observed after glucose load given,yet,it was still significantly higher in LPG until 120 min compared with CG.The most striking finding was that lower expression of MafA was detected in IUGR compared with CG(P<0.05). Conclusion LPG may cause IUGR of rats and the lower expression of MafA in pancreas of newborn rats.It may influences the development of generation and systems of the pancreas of newborn rats.
