Gestational postprandial insulin sensitivity in the Sprague Dawley rat: the putative role of hepatic insulin sensitizing substance in glucose partitioning in pregnancy
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Pregnancy requires adaptation of maternal insulin sensitivity. In the fed state, a pulse of insulin stimulates glucose uptake and nutrient energy storage via insulin-dependent as well as hepatic insulin sensitizing substance (HISS)-dependent action. HISS is released by the liver in the fed state in the presence of signals integrated through the liver and a pulse of insulin. HISS promotes glucose storage as glycogen in heart, kidney, and skeletal muscle but not in gut, liver, or adipose tissue. HISS is also responsible for the vasodilatory action previously attributed to insulin. The rapid insulin sensitivity test (RIST), a dynamic euglycemic clamp, can quantitate both HISS-dependent and insulin-dependent glucose uptake. The RIST was used to characterize postprandial insulin sensitivity in the Sprague Dawley rat and the changes in the partitioning of nutrient energy throughout gestation. Early pregnancy demonstrated increased insulin sensitivity attributable to HISS-dependent glucose uptake with unchanged insulin-dependent glucose uptake, preserved plasma insulin concentration, and reduced plasma triglyceride concentration compared to the virgin. In late pregnancy, there was reduced HISS-dependent and insulin-dependent glucose uptake accompanied by increased plasma insulin and triglyceride concentration compared to the virgin. These results suggest an important role for HISS in glucose partitioning in pregnancy.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
