Twenty-three well-conditioned ponies were evaluated for insulin and glucose response following oral glucose administration (1 g/kg bodyweight [bwt] as a 20 per cent solution). Ponies were defined as normal if total insulin secretion (TIS) was less than 149 mu iu/ml h and the glucose concentration was below 11.1 +/- 0.11 mmol/litre (200 +/- 2 mg/dl) at all times following oral glucose administration. When glucose concentrations were maintained below 11.1 +/- 0.11 mmol/litre, the area under the glucose curve (TG) was less than 17.4 mmol/litre/h (314 mg/dl/h). The ponies were assigned to four groups based on insulin and glucose response: Group 1 (n = 7), normal; Group 2 (n = 5), high insulin, normal glucose; Group 3 (n = 8), high insulin, high glucose and Group 4 (n = 3), high glucose, normal insulin. This classification is an initial attempt to define normal insulin and glucose response in ponies. Additional data need to be accumulated to define further insulin resistance and diabetes in ponies.  相似文献

On three occasions separated by 10 days, six endurance-trained cyclists rode for 2 h at 60% of peak O2 uptake and then performed a simulated 40-km time trial (T-trial). During the rides, the subjects ingested a total of 2 liters of a [U-14C]glucose-labeled beverage containing a random order of either 10% glucose [carbohydrate (CHO)], 4.3% medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs); or 10% glucose + 4.3% MCTs (CHO+MCT). Although replacing CHO with MCTs slowed the T-trials from 66.8 +/- 0.4 (SE) to 72.1 +/- 0.6 min (P < 0.001), adding MCTs to CHO improved the T-trials from 66.8 +/- 0.4 to 65.1 +/- 0.5 min (P < 0.05). Faster T-trials in the CHO+MCT trial than in the CHO trial were associated with increased final circulating concentrations of free fatty acids (0.58 +/- 0.09 vs. 0.36 +/- 0.06 mmol/l; P < 0.05) and ketones (1.51 +/- 0.25 vs. 0.51 +/- 0.07 mmol/l; P < 0.01) and decreased final circulating concentrations of glucose (5.2 +/- 0.2 vs. 6.3 +/- 0.3 mmol/l; P < 0.01) and lactate (1.9 +/- 0.4 vs. 3.7 +/- 0.5 mmol/l; P < 0.05). Adding MCTs to ingested CHO reduced total CHO oxidation rates from 14 +/- 1 to 10 +/- 1 mmol/min at 2 h and from 17 +/- 1 to 14 +/- 1 mmol/min in the T-trial (P < 0.01), without affecting the corresponding approximately 5 and approximately 7 mmol/min rates of [14C]glucose oxidation. These data suggest that MCT oxidation decreased the direct and/or indirect (via lactate) oxidation of muscle glycogen. A reduced reliance on CHO oxidation at a given O2 uptake is similar to an endurance-training effect, and that may explain the improved T-trial performances.  相似文献

It is not known whether the beneficial effect of bromocriptine on glucose homeostasis in acromegaly is limited by a certain duration of therapy. To elucidate this problem, oral glucose tolerance tests were performed in 12 acromegaly patients before bromocriptine medication, under therapy (15.0 +/- 6.8 mg/day for 12 +/- 3 years), and during a 2-week drug withdrawal after long-term treatment. Initially altered glucose tolerance was normalized in 4 of 5 patients under bromocriptine therapy. During drug withdrawal the mean fasting glucose level and the mean glucose concentration at 120 min after oral glucose load increased from 5.05 +/- 0.61 to 5.77 +/- 0.78 mmol/l and from 5.61 +/- 2.05 to 7.55 +/- 3.05 mmol/l, respectively. A deterioration in glucose homeostasis was observed in 9 patients, and impaired glucose tolerance was ameliorated (but not to normal range) in 2 when bromocriptine was withdrawn. The proportion of alterations in glucose tolerance during drug withdrawal corresponded to that before the beginning of long-term bromocriptine treatment. Impaired glucose tolerance, observed in 2 patients under bromocriptine treatment, seemed to be compensated because a distinct elevation of glycosylated hemoglobin A1c was not observed. Bromocriptine led to a significant decrease in basal as well as glucose-stimulated insulin levels, and growth hormone secretion during oral glucose load was reduced in all 12 patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) and NIDDM are both associated with an impaired ability of the beta-cell to sense and respond to small changes in plasma glucose concentrations. The aim of this study was to establish if glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1), a natural enteric peptide and potent insulin secretagogue, improves this defect. Two weight-matched groups, one with eight subjects having IGT (2-h glucose, 10.1 +/- 0.3 mmol/l) and another with seven subjects with diet-treated NIDDM (2-h glucose, 14.5 +/- 0.9 mmol/l), were studied on two occasions during a 12-h oscillatory glucose infusion, a sensitive test of the ability of the beta-cell to sense and respond to glucose. Glucose was infused with a mean rate of 4 mg x kg(-1) x min(-1), amplitude 33% above and below the mean rate, and periodicity of 144 min, with infusion of saline or GLP-1 at 0.4 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1) for 12 h. Mean glucose levels were significantly lower in both groups during the GLP-1 infusion compared with during saline infusion: 9.2 +/- 0.4 vs. 6.4 +/- 0.1 mmol/l in the IGT subjects (P < 0.0004) and 14.6 +/- 1.0 vs. 9.3 +/- 0.7 mmol/l in NIDDM subjects (P < 0.0002). Despite this significant reduction in plasma glucose concentration, insulin secretion rates (ISRs) increased significantly in IGT subjects (513.3 +/- 77.6 vs. 583.1 +/- 100.7 pmol/min; P < 0.03), with a trend toward increasing in NIDDM subjects (561.7 +/- 122.16 vs. 642.8 +/- 128 pmol/min; P = 0.1). These results were compatible with enhanced insulin secretion in the presence of GLP-1. Spectral power was used as a measure of the ability of the beta-cell to secrete insulin in response to small changes in the plasma glucose concentration during the oscillatory infusion. Spectral power for ISR increased from 2.1 +/- 0.9 during saline infusion to 7.4 +/- 1.3 during GLP-1 infusion in IGT subjects (P < 0.004), but was unchanged in NIDDM subjects (1.0 +/- 0.4 to 1.5 +/- 0.6; P = 0.3). We concluded that low dosage GLP-1 improves the ability of the beta-cell to secrete insulin in both IGT and NIDDM subjects, but that the ability to sense and respond to subtle changes in plasma glucose is improved in IGT subjects, with only a variable response in NIDDM subjects. Beta-cell dysfunction was improved by GLP-1 infusion, suggesting that early GLP-1 therapy may preserve beta-cell function in subjects with IGT or mild NIDDM.  相似文献

STUDY OBJECTIVES: To determine the efficacy of the lung as an alternative route of delivery for insulin in controlling glucose below diabetic levels (11.2 mmol/L) 2 h after the ingestion of a meal in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. DESIGN: Single-blinded, nonrandomized, placebo-controlled pilot study consisting of two visits. SETTING: A primary care facility. PATIENTS: Seven patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. INTERVENTIONS: On the first study visit, fasting glucose levels were normalized. Then, patients inhaled 1.5 U/kg insulin by aerosol into the lungs 5 min before ingesting a test meal. On the second visit, patients inhaled placebo aerosol 5 min before ingesting the same meal. On both visits, plasma samples were collected and analyzed for glucose levels for 3 h during the postprandial state. MEASUREMENTS AND RESULTS: No one coughed after inhalation of insulin aerosol or demonstrated hypoglycemia. During the postprandial period, glucose levels were significantly lower at 20 min (5.12+/-1.08 mmol/L), 1 h (7.87+/-0.73 mmol/L), 2 h (8.05+/-1.24 mmol/L) and 3 h (7.50+/-1.43 mmol/L) following inhalation of insulin than when the placebo was used. Data for the placebo were 10.36+/-1.23 mmol/L at 20 min, 14.0+/-1.68 mmol/L at 1 h, 16.18+/-1.45 mmol/L at 2 h, and 14.37+/-2.11 mmol/L at 3h (for all comparisons, p < 0.05). On the insulin visit, glucose levels were < 11.2 mmol/L 2 h after the meal in six of seven patients. None attained this level at the placebo visit. In addition, glucose levels were within the normal postprandial range of < 7.84 mmol/L in four of seven patients 2 h after eating on the insulin visit. CONCLUSIONS: These results suggest that, once plasma glucose levels are normalized, postprandial glucose levels can be maintained below diabetic levels by delivering 1.5 U/kg insulin into the lungs 5 min before the ingestion of a meal.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the metabolic effects of losartan (Cozaar) in patients with essential hypertension. METHODS: Twenty patients with mild hypertension (office blood pressure > 140/95 mmHg and home diastolic blood pressure > 90 mmHg) were examined in a double-blind, placebo-controlled cross-over study of 4 weeks of treatment with 50-100 mg losartan. The effects on glucose metabolism were assessed by euglycaemic glucose clamp examinations [glucose disposal rate (GDR, mg/kg per min)] and oral glucose-tolerance tests (OGTT). RESULTS: Supine blood pressure was reduced from 146 +/- 3/90 +/- 3 mmHg on placebo to 134 +/- 4/83 +/- 3 mmHg on losartan and the difference was maintained during 120 min of insulin infusion and glucose clamping. GDR was 6.2 +/- 0.5 mg/kg per min on placebo and 6.4 +/- 0.5 mg/kg per min on losartan. The glucose and insulin responses (the area under the curve) during OGTT were similar with placebo and losartan (0.86 +/- 0.3 versus 0.88 +/- 0.4 and 341 +/- 60 versus 356 +/- 60, respectively; arbitary units). Serum cholesterol was 5.3 +/- 0.2 mmol/l on placebo and 5.1 +/- 0.2 mmol/l losartan treatment. High-density lipoprotein cholesterol and triglycerides were, respectively, 1.1 +/- 0.1 and 1.5 +/- 0.2 mmol/l with placebo, and 1.1 +/- 0.1 and 1.4 +/- 0.1 mmol/l with losartan treatment. CONCLUSION: In mildly hypertensive patients, selective angiotensin II receptor antagonism with losartan for 4 weeks lowers blood pressure at rest and during 120 min of glucose clamping, and has neutral effects on insulin sensitivity, glucose metabolism and serum lipids.  相似文献

After having previously shown that some noninsulin-sensitive tissues (capillaries and optic nerve) phosphorylate glucose in a concentration-dependent manner through a glucokinase-like enzyme, here, we report data on glucose phosphorylation in rabbit lens and retina at various glucose concentrations (1, 5, 10, 25, 50, and 100 mmol/L). In the 3000 g supernatant of lens and retina homogenates from two separate groups of female albino rabbits ten animals in each group; 1.8-2.0 kg body weight; mean +/- SEM morning glycemia: 8.19 +/- 0.28 and 8.12 +/- 0.24 mmol/L, respectively) was assayed glucose phosphorylating activity (NADP reduction measured as change in optical density at 366 nm at pH 7.5). The enzyme activity did not reach the maximum at low glucose concentration (1 mmol/L), as it occurs in several tissues, but increased progressively in both tissues with the increase in glucose concentration. Values (mean +/- SEM) for lens were 0.197 +/- 0.031 nmol/min/mg protein at 1 mmol/L and 0.327 +/- 0.051 (the highest value) at 50 mmol/L glucose (+65.99%, p < 0.01; r = 0.31, p < 0.05). Values for retina were 36.02 +/- 2.12 at 1 mmol/L glucose and 42.48 +/- 2.79 (the highest value) at 25 mmol/L glucose (+17.93%, p < 0.001; r = 0.32, p < 0.05). These kinetic characteristics, somewhat reminiscent of those shown by hepatic glucokinase, are still more pronounced when we calculated the "glucokinase component," obtained by subtracting the activity at 1 mmol/L glucose (hexokinase component) from that at the highest glucose concentration (total glucose phosphorylating activity). In five rabbits of similar age and weight, with spontaneous hyperglycemia (mean +/- SEM morning glycemia: 11.71 +/- 0.60) glucose phosphorylation in the retina was lower than normal, value at pH 7.5 and 1 mmol/L glucose being 24.52 +/- 2.20 versus 36.02 +/- 2.12 of normal animals (-31.93%, p < 0.01). This, if occurs also in other tissues, could contribute to the hyperglycemia by reducing glucose utilization. In these animals, however, the glucose phosphorylating activity retained the responsivity to increasing glucose concentrations, with value at 100 mmol/L of 28.65 +/- 2.10, corresponding to + 16.84% over the value at 1 mmol/L (p < 0.01). Therefore, the actual glucose phosphorylation in the retina of these animals would depend both upon the enzyme level (which is reduced) and glucose concentration (which is increased). Due to the in vivo inhibition of the hexokinase component by glucose 6-phosphate, the glucokinase component in retina and lens may be predominant in vivo, making the stimulating effect of hyperglycemia much more important than it would appear from our in vitro data. This might play a role in the chronic diabetic complications.  相似文献

By US standards, about half of African children are malnourished, although most appear clinically normal. It is possible that precursor supply for gluconeogenesis is limited to a greater extent in these seemingly malnourished African children than in healthy children, consequently limiting glucose production. Since in malaria peripheral glucose utilization is increased, precursor supply could play an even more critical role in maintaining glucose production in African children suffering from falciparum malaria. We studied the effect of alanine infusion (1.5 mg/kg/min) on glucose production (measured by infusion of [6,6-2H2]glucose) and plasma glucose concentration in 10 consecutive children with acute, uncomplicated falciparum malaria. By US standards, six children were below the 10th percentile of weight for height and seven were below the 10th percentile of height for age. Plasma concentrations of alanine increased during alanine infusion from 153 +/- 21 to 468 +/- 39 mumol/l, whereas plasma lactate concentrations did not change (1.4 +/- 0.2 vs. 1.3 +/- 0.2 mmol/l). Plasma glucose concentration and glucose production did not change during alanine infusion: 4.6 +/- 0.3 vs. 4.5 +/- 0.3 mmol/l and 5.8 +/- 0.4 vs. 5.7 +/- 0.3 mg/kg/min, respectively. Gluconeogenic precursor supply is sufficient for maintainance of glucose production in African children with uncomplicated malaria who are malnourished by US standards.  相似文献

Exercise leads to marked increases in muscle insulin sensitivity and glucose effectiveness. Oral glucose tolerance immediately after exercise is generally not improved. The hypothesis tested by these experiments is that after exercise the increased muscle glucose uptake during an intestinal glucose load is counterbalanced by an increase in the efficiency with which glucose enters the circulation and that this occurs due to an increase in intestinal glucose absorption or decrease in hepatic glucose disposal. For this purpose, sampling (artery and portal, hepatic, and femoral veins) and infusion (vena cava, duodenum) catheters and Doppler flow probes (portal vein, hepatic artery, external iliac artery) were implanted 17 d before study. Overnightfasted dogs were studied after 150 min of moderate treadmill exercise or an equal duration rest period. Glucose ([14C]glucose labeled) was infused in the duodenum at 8 mg/kg x min for 150 min beginning 30 min after exercise or rest periods. Values, depending on the specific variable, are the mean +/- SE for six to eight dogs. Measurements are from the last 60 min of the intraduodenal glucose infusion. In response to intraduodenal glucose, arterial plasma glucose rose more in exercised (103 +/- 4 to 154 +/- 6 mg/dl) compared with rested (104 +/- 2 to 139 +/- 3 mg/dl) dogs. The greater increase in glucose occurred even though net limb glucose uptake was elevated after exercise (35 +/- 5 vs. 20 +/- 2 mg/min) as net splanchnic glucose output (5.1 +/- 0.8 vs. 2.1 +/- 0.6 mg/kg x min) and systemic appearance of intraduodenal glucose (8.1 +/- 0.6 vs. 6.3 +/- 0.7 mg/kg x min) were also increased due to a higher net gut glucose output (6.1 +/- 0.7 vs. 3.6 +/- 0.9 mg/kg x min). Adaptations at the muscle led to increased net glycogen deposition after exercise [1.4 +/- 0.3 vs. 0.5 +/- 0.1 mg/(gram of tissue x 150 min)], while no such increase in glycogen storage was seen in liver [3.9 +/- 1.0 vs. 4.1 +/- 1.1 mg/(gram of tissue x 150 min) in exercised and sedentary animals, respectively]. These experiments show that the increase in the ability of previously working muscle to store glycogen is not solely a result of changes at the muscle itself, but is also a result of changes in the splanchnic bed that increase the efficiency with which oral glucose is made available in the systemic circulation.  相似文献

Shortly after birth, plasma glucose and fructose concentrations of the neonate decline and thus leave blood sugar below the homeostatic mode. Two trials were conducted to determine the plasma glucose and fructose kinetics in control and supplemented calves for 108 h after birth. In the short-term trial, six Holstein calves were given 40 g of either fructose, lactose, or water (control) orally at 1 and 96 h after birth. Treatments were administered with a colostrum substitute (Life Boost) at 1 h and whole milk at 96 h. Rectal temperatures and changes in plasma glucose and fructose concentrations were monitored at close intervals for 12 h after supplementation. In the long-term trial, 15 Holstein calves were given 40 g of either lactose, fructose, or water (control) at 1 h after birth and at 12-h intervals for 81 h. Plasma glucose and fructose concentrations were determined before and 4 h after each of the seven feedings. Early postpartal feeding of fructose suppressed plasma glucose (approximately 50%), with a reciprocal rise in plasma fructose. Irrespective of treatment, plasma glucose concentrations did not stabilize (approximately 100 mg/dL) until 17 to 24 h after birth. After 24 h, lactose supplements increased concentrations of plasma glucose 4 h after supplementation (169.7 +/- 8.2 mg/dL), compared with those in calves that did not receive the additional lactose. After 24 h, fructose supplements did not affect plasma glucose, but plasma fructose concentrations increased (82.6 +/- 12.4 mg/dL) 4 h after administration. The response to fructose supplements declined by 11.4 mg x dL(-1) x d(-1). Fructose was not detected in the plasma of control or lactose-treated calves after 17 h after birth. Calves that received fructose supplements had rectal temperatures 8 and 10 h after birth that were higher than those of the other calves. The mechanisms of sugar metabolism change quickly following birth. Oral sugar supplements increase the total plasma sugar concentrations of treated calves.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To assess the effects of short-term antecedent hypoglycemia on responses to further hypoglycemia 2 days later in patients with IDDM. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: We studied eight type I diabetic patients without hypoglycemia unawareness or autonomic neuropathy during two periods at least 4 weeks apart. On day 1, 2 h of either clamped hyperinsulinemic (60 mU.m-2.min-1) hypoglycemia at 2.8 mmol/l or euglycemia at 5.0 mmol/l were induced. Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia was induced 2 days later with 40 min glucose steps of 5.0, 4.0, 3.5, 3.0, and 2.5 mmol/l. Catecholamine levels and symptomatic and physiological responses were measured every 10-20 min. RESULTS: When compared with the responses measured following euglycemia, the responses of norepinephrine 2 days after hypoglycemia were reduced (peak, 1.4 +/- 0.4 [mean +/- SE] vs.1.0 +/- 0.3 nmol/l [P < 0.05]; threshold, 3.4 +/- 0.1 vs. 2.9 +/- 0.1 mmol/l glucose [P < 0.01]). The responses of epinephrine (peak, 4.0 +/- 1.4 vs. 3.5 +/- 0.8 nmol/l [P = 0.84]; threshold, 3.8 +/- 0.1 vs. 3.6 +/- 0.1 mmol/l glucose [P = 0.38]), water loss (peak, 194 +/- 34 vs. 179 +/- 47 g-1.m-2.h-1 [P = 0.73]; threshold, 2.9 +/- 0.2 vs. 2.9 +/- 0.2 mmol/l glucose [P = 0.90]), tremor (peak, 0.28 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.37 +/- 0.06 root mean square volts (RMS V) [P = 0.19]; threshold, 3.2 +/- 0.2 vs. 3.1 +/- 0.2 mmol/l glucose [P = 0.70]), total symptom scores (peak, 10.6 +/- 2.1 vs. 10.8 +/- 1.9 [P = 0.95]; threshold, 3.3 +/- 0.2 vs. 3.6 +/0 0.1 mmol/l glucose [P = 0.15]), and cognitive function (four-choice reaction time: threshold, 2.9 +/- 0.2 vs. 3.0 +/- 0.2 mmol/l glucose [P = 0.69]) were unaffected. CONCLUSIONS: The effect on hypoglycemic physiological responses of 2 h of experimental hypoglycemia lasts for 1-2 days in these patients with IDDM . The pathophysiological effect of antecedent hypoglycemia may be of shorter duration in IDDM patients, compared with nondiabetic subjects.  相似文献

A new modelling analysis was developed to assess insulin sensitivity with a tracer-modified intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT). IVGTTs were performed in 5 normal (NGT) and 7 non-insulin-dependent diabetic (NIDDM) subjects. A 300 mg/kg glucose bolus containing [6,6-(2)H2]glucose was given at time 0. After 20 min, insulin was infused for 5 min (NGT, 0.03; NIDDM, 0.05 U/kg). Concentrations of tracer, glucose, insulin and C-peptide were measured for 240 min. A circulatory model for glucose kinetics was used. Glucose clearance was assumed to depend linearly on plasma insulin concentration delayed. Model parameters were: basal glucose clearance (Cl(b)), glucose clearance at 600 pmol/l insulin concentration (Cl600), basal glucose production (Pb), basal insulin sensitivity index (BSI = Cl(b)/basal insulin concentration); incremental insulin sensitivity index (ISI = slope of the relationship between insulin concentration and glucose clearance). Insulin secretion was calculated by deconvolution of C-peptide data. Indices of basal pancreatic sensitivity (PSIb) and first (PSI1) and second-phase (PSI2) sensitivity were calculated by normalizing insulin secretion to the prevailing glucose levels. Diabetic subjects were found to be insulin resistant (BSI: 2.3 +/- 0.6 vs 0.76 +/- 0.18 ml x min(-1) x m(-2) x pmol/l(-1), p < 0.02; ISI: 0.40 +/- 0.06 vs 0.13 +/- 0.05 ml x min(-1) x m(-2) x pmol/l(-1), p < 0.02; Cl600: 333 +/- 47 vs 137 +/- 26 ml x min(-1) x m(-2), p < 0.01; NGT vs NIDDM). Pb was not elevated in NIDDM (588 +/- 169 vs 606 +/- 123 micromol x min(-1) x m(-2), NGT vs NIDDM). Hepatic insulin resistance was however present as basal glucose and insulin were higher. PSI1 was impaired in NIDDM (67 +/- 15 vs 12 +/- 7 pmol x min x m(-2) x mmol/l(-1), p < 0.02; NGT vs NIDDM). In NGT and in a subset of NIDDM subjects (n = 4), PSIb was inversely correlated with BSI (r = 0.95, p < 0.0001, log transformation). This suggests the existence of a compensatory mechanism that increases pancreatic sensitivity in the presence of insulin resistance, which is normal in some NIDDM subjects and impaired in others. In conclusion, using a simple test the present analysis provides a rich set of parameters characterizing glucose metabolism and insulin secretion, agrees with the literature, and provides some new information on the relationship between insulin sensitivity and secretion.  相似文献

To ascertain whether the inability to suppress glucose production and increase glucose utilization in response to glucose infusion is an inherent characteristic of immature individuals, we determined glucose rate of appearance (R(a)) in minimally stressed, clinically stable, extremely premature infants (approximately 26-wk gestation) at two glucose infusion rates (6.2 +/- 0.4 and 9.5 +/- 0.5 mg/kg per min). We also assessed whether an increase in glucose delivery suppresses proteolysis by measuring the R(a) of phenylalanine and leucine. Glucose R(a) (and utilization) increased significantly at the higher glucose infusion rate (7.9 +/- 0.5 vs. 9.8 +/- 0.6 mg/kg per min). Glucose production persisted at the lower glucose infusion rate but was suppressed to nearly zero at the higher rate (1.7 +/- 0.5 vs. 0.3 +/- 0.1 mg/kg per min). Proteolysis was unaffected by the higher glucose infusion rate as reflected by no change in the rates of appearance of either phenylalanine (96 +/- 5 vs. 95 +/- 3 mumol/kg per h) or leucine (285 +/- 20 vs. 283 +/- 14 mumol/kg per h). Thus, clinically stable, extremely premature infants suppress glucose production and increase glucose utilization in response to increased glucose infusion, demonstrating no inherent immaturity of these processes. In contrast, increasing the rate of glucose delivery results in no change in whole body proteolysis in these infants. The regulation of proteolysis in this population remains to be defined.  相似文献

Insulin release occurs in two phases; sulphonylurea derivatives may have different potencies in stimulating first- and second-phase insulin release. We studied the effect of glibenclamide on insulin secretion at submaximally and maximally stimulating blood glucose levels with a primed hyperglycaemic glucose clamp. Twelve healthy male subjects, age (mean +/- SEM) 22.5 +/- 0.5 years, body mass index (BMI) 21.7 +/- 0.6 kgm-2, were studied in a randomized, double-blind study design. Glibenclamide 10 mg or placebo was taken before a 4-h hyperglycaemic clamp (blood glucose 8 mmol L-1 during the first 2 h and 32 mmol L-1 during the next 2 h). During hyperglycaemic clamp at 8 mmol L-1, the areas under the delta insulin curve (AUC delta insulin, mean +/- SEM) from 0 to 10 min (first phase) were not different: 1007 +/- 235 vs. 1059 +/- 261 pmol L-1 x 10 min (with and without glibenclamide, P = 0.81). However, glibenclamide led to a significantly larger increase in AUC delta insulin from 30 to 120 min (second phase): 16087 +/- 4489 vs. 7107 +/- 1533 pmol L-1 x 90 min (with and without glibenclamide respectively, P < 0.03). The same was true for AUC delta C-peptide no difference from 0 to 10 min but a significantly higher AUC delta C-peptide from 30 to 120 min on the glibenclamide day (P < 0.01). The M/I ratio (mean glucose infusion rate divided by mean plasma insulin concentration) from 60 to 120 min, a measure of insulin sensitivity, did not change: 0.26 +/- 0.05 vs. 0.22 +/- 0.03 mumol kg-1 min-1 pmol L-1 (with and without glibenclamide, P = 0.64). During hyperglycaemic clamp at 32 mmol L-1, the AUC delta insulin from 120 to 130 min (first phase) was not different on both study days: 2411 +/- 640 vs. 3193 +/- 866 pmol L-1 x 10 min (with and without glibenclamide, P = 0.29). AUC delta insulin from 150 to 240 min (second phase) also showed no difference: 59623 +/- 8735 vs. 77389 +/- 15161 pmol L-1 x 90 min (with and without glibenclamide, P = 0.24). AUC delta C-peptide from 120 to 130 min and from 150 to 240 min were slightly lower on the glibenclamide study day (both P < 0.04). The M/I ratio from 180 to 240 min did not change: 0.24 +/- 0.04 vs. 0.30 +/- 0.07 mumol kg-1 min-1 pmol L-1 (with and without glibenclamide, P = 0.25). In conclusion, glibenclamide increases second-phase insulin secretion only at a submaximally stimulating blood glucose level without enhancement of first-phase insulin release and has no additive effect on insulin secretion at maximally stimulating blood glucose levels. Glibenclamide did not change insulin sensitivity in this acute experiment.  相似文献

Wistar rats develop glucose intolerance and have a diminished insulin response to glucose with age. The aim of this study was to investigate if these changes were reversible with glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), a peptide that we have previously shown could increase insulin mRNA and total insulin content in insulinoma cells. We infused 1.5 pmol/ kg-1.min-1 GLP-1 subcutaneously using ALZET microosmotic pumps into 22-mo-old Wistar rats for 48 h. Rat infused with either GLP-1 or saline were then subjected to an intraperitoneal glucose (1 g/kg body weight) tolerance test, 2 h after removing the pump. 15 min after the intraperitoneal glucose, GLP-1-treated animals had lower plasma glucose levels (9.04+/-0.92 mmol/liter, P < 0.01) than saline-treated animals (11.61+/-0.23 mmol/liter). At 30 min the plasma glucose was still lower in the GLP-1-treated animals (8.61+/-0.39 mmol/liter, P < 0.05) than saline-treated animals (10.36+/-0.43 mmol/liter). This decrease in glucose levels was reflected in the higher insulin levels attained in the GLP-1-treated animals (936+/-163 pmol/liter vs. 395+/-51 pmol/liter, GLP-1 vs. saline, respectively, P < 0.01), detected 15 min after glucose injection. GLP-1 treatment also increased pancreatic insulin, GLUT2, and glucokinase mRNA in the old rats. The effects of GLP-1 were abolished by simultaneous infusion of exendin [9-39], a specific antagonist of GLP-1. GLP-1 is therefore able to reverse some of the known defects that arise in the beta cell of the pancreas of Wistar rats, not only by increasing insulin secretion but also by inducing significant changes at the molecular level.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of captopril with that of placebo on peripheral and hepatic insulin action in essential hypertension, in light of evidence that insulin resistance is associated with cardiovascular risk. DESIGN: Randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, crossover trial, with 8 week treatment periods of captopril and placebo preceded and separated by 6 weeks of placebo. SETTING: Belfast teaching hospital. PATIENTS: Eighteen Caucasian nondiabetic patients (10 males), aged under 65 years, with essential hypertension, recruited from general practices in the greater Belfast area. INTERVENTIONS: Captopril at 50 mg twice a day or placebo twice a day for two 8 week treatment periods. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Peripheral and hepatic insulin sensitivity assessed by glucose clamps. RESULTS: Fourteen patients completed the study. Mean (+/- SEM) levels of fasting glucose, fasting insulin and postabsorptive hepatic glucose production were similar after captopril and placebo (5.4+/-0.1 versus 5.4+/-0.1 mmol/l, 10.6+/-2.2 versus 9.5+/-1.1 mU/l, 11.2+/-0.6 versus 11.0+/-0.5 mmol/kg per min, respectively). During hyperinsulinaemia, hepatic glucose production was suppressed to comparable levels after both treatments (4.8+/-0.6 versus 4.3+/-0.6 mmol/kg per min) and exogenous glucose infusion rates required to maintain euglycaemia were also similar (30.0+/-2.6 versus 30.3+/-2.6 mmol/kg per min). CONCLUSION: Captopril therapy in uncomplicated essential hypertension has no effect on peripheral or hepatic insulin sensitivity.  相似文献

OBJECTIVE: Insulin sensitivity is impaired in patients with type II diabetes and is exacerbated by high mean blood glucose (BG). Potentially, large postprandial swings in BG could result in further decrements of insulin sensitivity. Because alpha-glucosidase inhibitors cause a marked reduction in the amplitude of BG changes, the aim of this study was to determine if such a BG-smoothing effect improves insulin sensitivity in well-controlled type II diabetic subjects treated with diet alone. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Patients received either miglitol (BAY m 1099) (50 mg three times daily) or placebo for 8 weeks in a randomized double-blind parallel study. The miglitol (9 men, 2 women) and placebo (7 men, 3 women) groups were well matched (mean +/- SD) for age, weight, and blood glucose control (fasting BG, 6.4 +/- 1.0 vs. 6.9 +/- 1.6 mmol/l; HbA1, 7.7 +/- 1.0 vs. 7.9 +/- 0.4%; fructosamine, 0.99 +/- 0.08 vs. 1.07 +/- 0.17 mmol/l). The glucose metabolic clearance rate was calculated during the last 30 min of a 150 min glucose/insulin sensitivity test (glucose, 6 mg . kg-1 . min-1; insulin, 0.5 U . kg-1 . min-1). RESULTS: There was no significant improvement in metabolic clearance rate (0.21 +/- 0.27 vs. 0.16 +/- 0.35 l . kg-1 . min-1) for the miglitol- and placebo-treated groups, respectively. There were no statistically significant differences between miglitol and placebo for changes from baseline in BG (0.1 +/- 0.1 vs. -0.1 +/- 0.2 mmol/l), HbA1 (0.1 +/- 0.1 vs. 0.3 +/- 0.1%), and fructosamine (-0.06 +/- 0.02 vs. -0.03 +/- 0.02 mmol/l). CONCLUSIONS: Alpha-glucosidase-induced improvement in postprandial hyperglycemia does not result in increased insulin sensitivity.  相似文献

To investigate the impact of fluid composition on rehydration effectiveness, 30 subjects (15 men and 15 women) were studied during 2 h of rehydration after a 2.5% body weight loss. In a randomized crossover design, subjects rehydrated with water (H2O), chicken broth (CB: 109.5 mmol/l Na, 25.3 mmol/l K), a carbohydrate-electrolyte drink (CE: 16.0 mmol/l Na, 3.3 mmol/l K), and chicken noodle soup (Soup: 333.8 mmol/l Na, 13.7 mmol/l K). Subjects ingested 175 ml at the start of rehydration and 20 min later; H2O was given every 20 min thereafter for a total volume equal to body weight loss during dehydration. At the end of the rehydration period, plasma volume was not significantly different from predehydration values in the CB (-1.6 +/- 1.1%) and Soup (-1.4 +/- 0.9%) trials. In contrast, plasma volume remained significantly (P < 0.01) below predehydration values in the H2O (-5.6 +/- 1.1%) and CE (-4.2 +/- 1.0%) trials after the rehydration period. Urine volume was greater in the CE (310 +/- 30 ml) than in the CB (188 +/- 20 ml) trial. Urine osmolality was higher in the CB and Soup trials than in the CE trial. Urinary sodium concentration was higher in the Soup and CB trials than in the CE and H2O trials. These results provide evidence that the inclusion of sodium in rehydration beverages, as well as consumption of a sodium-containing liquid meal, increases fluid retention and improves plasma volume restoration.  相似文献

Insufficient metabolic control in diabetes mellitus is associated with a reversible reduction in nerve conduction velocity, but the mechanism behind this phenomenon is unknown. To examine the effect of acute hyperglycaemia on nerve conduction eight non-diabetic men (20-49 years of age) with no signs of peripheral neuropathy were studied before and after 3 h of hyperglycaemic clamping (plasma glucose approximately 15 mmol/l), while insulin secretion was suppressed by somatostatin [Study 1]. Nerve conduction velocity, as determined in the proximal part of the median nerve, fell by 2.8 +/- 3.0 m/s (2p-value: 0.033). However, during euglycaemic clamping (plasma glucose approximately 5 mmol/l) in five non-diabetic men (19-38 years of age) infused solely with somatostatin [Study 2], a comparable decrement in nerve conduction velocity was found (1.7 +/- 1.3 m/s, 2p-value: 0.043). In both studies relative hypoinsulinaemia was present. Serum-sodium decreased significantly (143 +/- 1 mmol/l vs 137 +/- 1 mmol/l [Study 1] and 143 +/- 1 mmol/l vs 142 +/- 2 mmol/l [Study 2]), while serum-potassium increased. In conclusion, the slight but significant reduction in nerve conduction velocity observed in both studies appears to be correlated to electrolyte changes. However, an effect of hypersomatostatinaemia or the hormonal changes associated with this cannot be excluded, while short-term hyperglycaemia per se seems to be without effect on nerve conduction velocity.  相似文献

Fructose activates glucokinase by releasing the enzyme from its inhibitory protein in liver. To examine the importance of acute activation of glucokinase in regulating hepatic glucose uptake, the effect of intraportal infusion of a small amount of fructose on net hepatic glucose uptake (NHGU) was examined in 42 h-fasted conscious dogs. Isotopic ([3-3H] and [U-14C]glucose) and arteriovenous difference methods were used. Each study consisted of an equilibration period (-90 to -30 min), a control period (-30 to 0 min), and a hyperglycemic/hyperinsulinemic period (0-390 min). During the latter period, somatostatin (489 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1)) was given, along with intraportal insulin (7.2 pmol x kg(-1) x min(-1)) and glucagon (0.5 ng x kg(-1) x min(-1)). In this way, the liver sinusoidal insulin level was fixed at four times basal (456 +/- 60 pmol/l), and liver sinusoidal glucagon level was kept basal (46 +/- 6 ng/l). Glucose was infused through a peripheral vein to create hyperglycemia (12.5 mmol/l plasma). Hyperglycemic hyperinsulinemia (no fructose) switched net hepatic glucose balance (micromoles per kilogram per minute) from output (11.3 +/- 1.4) to uptake (14.7 +/- 1.7) and net lactate balance (micromoles per kilogram per minute) from uptake (6.5 +/- 2.1) to output (4.4 +/- 1.5). Fructose was infused intraportally at a rate of 1.7, 3.3, or 6.7 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1), starting at 120, 210, or 300 min, respectively. In the three periods, portal blood fructose increased from <6 to 113 +/- 14, 209 +/- 29, and 426 +/- 62 micromol/l, and net hepatic fructose uptake increased from 0.03 +/- 0.01 to 1.3 +/- 0.4, 2.3 +/- 0.7, and 5.1 +/- 0.6 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1), respectively. NHGU increased to 41 +/- 3, 54 +/- 5, and 69 +/- 8 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1), respectively, and net hepatic lactate output increased to 11.0 +/- 3.2, 15.3 +/- 2.7, and 22.4 +/- 2.8 micromol x kg(-1) x min(-1) in the three fructose periods, respectively. The amount of [3H]glucose incorporated into glycogen was equivalent to 69 +/- 3% of [3H]glucose taken up by the liver. These data suggest that glucokinase translocation within the hepatocyte is a major determinant of hepatic glucose uptake by the dog in vivo.  相似文献
