Resumen:
We report the effects of long-term cola beverage drinking on glucose homeostasis, endocrine pancreas function and morphology in rats.
Wistar rats drank: water (group W), regular cola beverage (group C, sucrose sweetened) or ?light? cola beverage (group L, artificially sweetened). After 6 months, 50 % of the animals in each group were euthanized and the remaining animals consumed water for the next 6 months when euthanasia was performed. Biochemical assays, insulinemia determination, estimation of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), morphometry and immunohistochemistry evaluations were performed in pancreas.
Hyperglycemia (16%, p
