Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effect of blood glucose on expressions of GLUT1 and GLUT4 mRNA in diabetic rats. Methods A total of 50 healthy SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group (n=10, NC group), and diabetic model group (n=40, DM group). Of the 40 DM models, 36 were divided into 4 subgroups according to different levels of blood glucose: >16.7 mmol/L (A group), 14-16.7 mmol/L (B group), 10-14 mmol/L (C group), < 10 mmol/L (D group), with 9 animals in each group. Insulin glargine was injected into abdomen. Twelve weeks later, blood samples were collected to detect FBG and HbA1c. Myocardial tissues were collected to measure GLUT1 and GLUT4 mRNA with PT-PCR. Results Compared with the NC group, GLUT1 and GLUT4 mRNA expressions significantly reduced in all DM groups (P<0.05). After blood glucose level was controlled with insulinglargine, GLUT1 and GLUT4 mRNA expressions slightly escalated in all DM groups in the following order: D > C > B > A (P<0.05). The GLUT1 and GLUT4 mRNA expressions were negatively correlated with the level of glucose and HbA1c (P<0.05). Conclusion Chronic hyperglycemia down-regulates GLUT1 and GLUT4 mRNA expressions. This may be a protection against chronic high blood glucose mediated by GLUT1 and GLUT4.
