Article Abstract

Maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) was first described by Tattersall and Fajans in their classic paper published in 1975. At that time, the classification of diabetes was based purely on the age at onset of diabetes. Those diagnosed with diabetes below 40 years of age were labeled as "growth onset diabetes," while those with onset at or above the age of 40 years were referred to as "maturity onset diabetes." At that time, these types were believed to be equivalent to what are known as type 1 diabetes (T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) today.

Background And Aims: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is defined as glucose intolerance first identified during pregnancy that does not meet the criteria for overt diabetes. Its pathophysiology shares key features with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D), including insulin resistance and inflammation. Emerging evidence suggests that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) are implicated in T2D.

Glucagon dysregulation is a hallmark of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), yet its early hepatic effects remain unclear. Here, we demonstrate that glucagon-induced gluconeogenesis is markedly enhanced in primary hepatocytes from prediabetic Otsuka Long-Evans Tokushima Fatty (OLETF) rats, a well-established model of human T2DM. Compared to control LETO rats, OLETF hepatocytes showed significantly higher glucagon-stimulated expression of gluconeogenic genes (Pepck, G6pase, Fbp1) at both mRNA and protein levels, along with elevated glucose production.
