Summary. Effect of the nature of nutrients on blood insulin in the ruminant calf. (D). In calves given the highest quantities of lactose (groups A and B), plasma glucose and insulin levels were very high during the first 6 postprandial hours ( fig. 2). When the intake of lactose was halved (group D), postprandial levels of plasma glucose and insulin increased less and lasted a shorter time. When casein was offered alone (group C), these plasma levels did not increase more than when the dry diet was fed alone (group S in the first trial).In young ruminants as in monogastric animals, glucose absorbed from the small intestine stimulates insulin secretion much more than amino acids ; it also has more effect than volatile fatty acids absorbed from the rumen. Ruminant diets could not stimulate insulin secretion as much as diets permitting the absorption of large quantities of glucose.Introduction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
