Abstract EN
To investigate the effect of intermittent high glucose (IHG) and sustained high glucose (SHG) on inducing β-cell apoptosis and the potential involved mechanisms, INS-1 beta cells were incubated for 72 h in the medium containing different glucose concentrations: control (5.5 mmol/L), SHG (33.3 mmol/L), and IHG (5.5 mmol/L and 33.3 mmol/L glucose alternating every 12 h).
Cell viability, apoptosis rate, and oxidative-stress markers were determined.
The results showed that the apoptosis induced by IHG was more obvious than that by SHG.
Simultaneously, the intracellular level of oxidative stress was more significantly increased in INS-1 cells exposed to IHG.
These findings suggest that intermittent high glucose could be more deleterious to β-cell than a constant high concentration of glucose, this may be due to the aggravation of oxidative stress triggered by intermittent high glucose.
