• GLP-1 and insulin are increased in PDH affected dogs.
• Insulin resistance is more serious in PDH affected dogs than obese dogs.
• Dogs affected with PDH fail to control insulin resistance.
• HOMA indices are more altered in dogs with PDH.
The incretin glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) enhances insulin secretion. The aim of this study was to assess GLP-1, glucose and insulin concentrations, Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMAinsulin sensitivity and HOMAβ-cell function) in dogs with pituitary-dependent hyperadrenocorticism (PDH), and compare these values with those in normal and obese dogs. The Oral Glucose Tolerance Test was performed and the glucose, GLP-1 and insulin concentrations were evaluated at baseline, and after 15, 30, 60 and 120 minutes. Both basal concentration and those corresponding to the subsequent times, for glucose, GLP-1 and insulin, were statistically elevated in PDH dogs compared to the other groups. Insulin followed a similar behaviour together with variations of GLP-1. HOMAinsulin sensitivity was statistically decreased and HOMAβ-cell function increased in dogs with PDH. The higher concentrations of GLP-1 in PDH could play an important role in the impairment of pancreatic β-cells thus predisposing to diabetes mellitus.
