The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of aging on several
parameters related to glucose homeostasis and insulin resistance in pancreas and
how melatonin administration could affect these parameters. Pancreas samples were
obtained from two types of male mice models: senescence-accelerated prone (SAMP8)
and senescence-accelerated-resistant mice (SAMR1). Insulin levels in plasma were
increased with aging in both SAMP8 and SAMR1 mice, whereas insulin content in
pancreas was decreased with aging in SAMP8 and increased in SAMR1 mice.
Expressions of glucagon and GLUT2 messenger RNAs (mRNAs) were increased with
aging in SAMP8 mice, and no differences were observed in somatostatin and insulin
mRNA expressions. Furthermore, aging decreased also the expressions of Pdx-1,
FoxO 1, FoxO 3A and Sirt1 in pancreatic SAMP8 samples. Pdx-1 was decreased in
SAMR1 mice, but no differences were observed in the rest of parameters on these
mice strains. Treatment with melatonin was able to decrease plasma insulin levels
and to increase its pancreatic content in SAMP8 mice. In SAMR1, insulin
pancreatic content and plasma levels were decreased. HOMA-IR was decreased with
melatonin treatment in both strains of animals. On the other hand, in SAMP8 mice,
treatment decreased the expression of glucagon, GLUT2, somatostatin and insulin
mRNA. Furthermore, it was also able to increase the expression of Sirt1, Pdx-1
and FoxO 3A. According to these results, aging is associated with significant
alterations in the relative expression of pancreatic genes associated to glucose
metabolism. This has been especially observed in SAMP8 mice. Melatonin
administration was able to improve pancreatic function in old SAMP8 mice and to
reduce HOMA-IR improving their insulin physiology and glucose metabolism.
