Effects of Obesity and Hyperglycemia on Postprandial Insulin-Mediated and Non–Insulin-Mediated Glucose Disposal

Diabetes CarePublished Mechanistic study

Authors' conclusion

NIMGD is a major mechanism of postprandial TGD in people with insulin resistance and inadequate insulin secretion.

Study context

Population
People with obesity and different glycemic status, and lean people with normal glucose tolerance (NGT)
Comparison
Lean NGT vs Ob-NGT vs Ob-IGT vs Ob-T2D; Intensive lifestyle therapy (ILT) in obesity with T2D
Outcome
Total, insulin-mediated and non-insulin-mediated glucose disposal (TGD, IMGD, NIMGD) after glucose ingestion
Methodological detailsglucose tracer model with OGTT, intervention substudy of intensive lifestyle therapy
  • Glucose tracer model with OGTT
  • Intervention substudy of intensive lifestyle therapy

Further findings

Effect of ILT (∼15% weight loss) in obesity with T2D

ILT increased IMGD and decreased NIMGD
