Abstract
AIM To examine the relationship between plasma glucagon levels and insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion in obese subjects. METHODS Suppression of plasma glucagon was examined in 275 obese Hispanic Americans with varying glucose tolerance. All subjects received a 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and a subset (n = 90) had euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp. During OGTT, we quantitated suppression of plasma glucagon concentration, Matsuda index of insulin sensitivity, and insulin secretion/insulin resistance (disposition) index. Plasma glucagon suppression was compared between quartiles of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function. RESULTS Fasting plasma glucagon levels were similar in obese subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), prediabetes, and type 2 diabetes (T2D), but the fasting glucagon/insulin ratio decreased progressively from NGT to prediabetes to T2D (9.28 ± 0.66 vs 6.84 ± 0.44 vs 5.84 ± 0.43; P < 0.001). Fasting and 2-hour plasma glucagon levels during OGTT progressively increased and correlated positively with severity of insulin resistance (both Matsuda index and euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp). The fasting glucagon/insulin ratio declined with worsening insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function, and correlated with whole-body insulin sensitivity (Matsuda index, r = 0.81; P < 0.001) and beta-cell function (r = 0.35; P < 0.001). The glucagon/insulin ratio also correlated and with beta-cell function during OGTT at 60 and 120 minutes (r = -0.47; P < 0.001 and r = -0.32; P < 0.001). CONCLUSION Insulin-mediated suppression of glucagon secretion in obese subjects is impaired with increasing severity of glucose intolerance and parallels the severity of insulin resistance and beta-cell dysfunction.

Interaction between plasma fetuin-A and free fatty acids predicts changes in insulin sensitivity in response to long-term exercise. Physiol Rep 2017; 5:5/5/e13183. [PMID: 28270597 PMCID: PMC5350184 DOI: 10.14814/phy2.13183] [Citation(s) in RCA: 28] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/21/2016] [Revised: 01/30/2017] [Accepted: 02/05/2017] [Indexed: 12/12/2022] Open
Abstract
The hepatokine fetuin‐A can together with free fatty acids (FFAs) enhance adipose tissue (AT) inflammation and insulin resistance via toll‐like receptor 4 (TLR4). Although some of the health benefits of exercise can be explained by altered release of myokines from the skeletal muscle, it is not well documented if some of the beneficial effects of exercise can be explained by altered secretion of hepatokines. The aim of this study was to examine the effect of interaction between fetuin‐A and FFAs on insulin sensitivity after physical exercise. In this study, 26 sedentary men who underwent 12 weeks of combined endurance and strength exercise were included. Insulin sensitivity was measured using euglycemic‐hyperinsulinemic clamp, and AT insulin resistance was indicated by the product of fasting plasma concentration of FFAs and insulin. Blood samples and biopsies from skeletal muscle and subcutaneous AT were collected. Several phenotypic markers were measured, and mRNA sequencing was performed on the biopsies. AT macrophages were analyzed based on mRNA markers. The intervention improved hepatic parameters, reduced plasma fetuin‐A concentration (~11%, P < 0.01), slightly changed FFAs concentration, and improved glucose infusion rate (GIR) (~33%, P < 0.01) across all participants. The change in circulating fetuin‐A and FFAs interacted to predict some of the change in GIR (β = −42.16, P = 0.030), AT insulin resistance (β = 0.579, P = 0.003), gene expression related to TLR‐signaling in AT and AT macrophage mRNA (β = 94.10, P = 0.034) after exercise. We observed no interaction effects between FFAs concentrations and leptin and adiponectin on insulin sensitivity, or any interaction effects between Fetuin‐A and FFAs concentrations on skeletal muscle TLR‐signaling. The relationship between FFAs levels and insulin sensitivity seemed to be specific for fetuin‐A and the AT. Some of the beneficial effects of exercise on insulin sensitivity may be explained by changes in circulating fetuin‐A and FFAs, promoting less TLR4 signaling in AT perhaps by modulating AT macrophages.

Abstract
CONTEXT Insulin resistance and dysglycemia are associated with physical inactivity and adiposity, and may be improved by exercise. OBJECTIVE Investigate the effect of exercise on insulin sensitivity, body composition and adipose depots in sedentary men with (n = 11) or without (n = 11) overweight and dysglycemia. MATERIAL AND METHODS Euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, ankle-to-neck MRI, MRS, muscle and adipose tissue biopsies before and after 12 weeks combined strength and endurance exercise. RESULTS Insulin sensitivity, VO2max, strength, whole-body and muscle fat content, and abdominal adipose depots were improved without obvious differences between normo- and dysglycemic men. Hepatic fat, waist circumference and subcutaneous adipose tissue were reduced in the dysglycemic group. For both groups plasma adiponectin was reduced, whereas IL-6 was unchanged. Visceral fat was preferentially lost compared with other adipose depots. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION Body composition, fat distribution and insulin sensitivity improved following training in sedentary middle-aged men with and without dysglycemia.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS We aimed to identify which surrogate index of insulin sensitivity has the strongest correlation with the reference measurement, the hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp (HEC), to determine which surrogate measure should be recommended for use in large-scale studies. METHODS A literature search (1979-2012) was conducted to retrieve all articles reporting bivariate correlations between the HEC and surrogate measures of insulin sensitivity (in fasting samples or during the OGTT). We performed a random effects meta-analysis for each surrogate measure to integrate the correlation coefficients of the different studies. RESULTS The OGTT-based surrogate measures with the strongest pooled correlations (r) to the HEC were the Stumvoll metabolic clearance rate (Stumvoll MCR; r = 0.70 [95% CI 0.61, 0.77], n = 5), oral glucose insulin sensitivity (OGIS; r = 0.70 [0.57, 0.80], n = 6), the Matsuda index (r = 0.67 [0.61, 0.73], n = 19), the Stumvoll insulin sensitivity index (Stumvoll ISI; r = 0.67 [0.60, 0.72], n = 8) and the Gutt index (r = 0.65 [0.60, 0.69], n = 6). The fasting surrogate indices that correlated most strongly with the HEC and had narrow 95% CIs were the revised QUICKI (r = 0.68 [0.58, 0.77], n = 7), the QUICKI (r = 0.61 [0.55, 0.65], n = 35), the log HOMA-IR (r = -0.60 [-0.66, -0.53], n = 22) and the computer generated HOMA of insulin sensitivity (HOMA-%S; r = 0.57 [0.46, 0.67], n = 5). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION The revised QUICKI fasting surrogate measure appears to be as good as the OGTT-based Stumvoll MCR, OGIS, Matsuda, Stumvoll ISI and Gutt indices for estimating insulin sensitivity. It can therefore be recommended as the most appropriate index for use in large-scale clinical studies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes are more prevalent in people of South Asian ethnicity than in people of Western European origin. To investigate the source of these differences, we compared insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, glucose and lipid metabolism in South Asian and Nordic subjects with type 2 diabetes. METHODS Forty-three Nordic and 19 South Asian subjects with type 2 diabetes were examined with intra-venous glucose tolerance test, euglycemic clamp including measurement of endogenous glucose production, indirect calorimetry measuring glucose and lipid oxidation, and dual x-ray absorptiometry measuring body composition. RESULTS Despite younger mean ± SD age (49.7 ± 9.4 vs 58.3 ± 8.3 years, p = 0.001), subjects of South Asian ethnicity had the same diabetes duration (9.3 ± 5.5 vs 9.6 ± 7.0 years, p = 0.86), significantly higher median [inter-quartile range] HbA1c (8.5 [1.6] vs 7.3 [1.6] %, p = 0.024) and lower BMI (28.7 ± 4.0 vs 33.2 ± 4.7 kg/m(2), p<0.001). The South Asian group exhibited significantly higher basal endogenous glucose production (19.1 [9.1] vs 14.4 [6.8] µmol/kgFFM · min, p = 0.003). There were no significant differences between the groups in total glucose disposal (39.1 ± 20.4 vs 39.2 ± 17.6 µmol/kgFFM · min, p = 0.99) or first phase insulin secretion (AUC0-8 min: 220 [302] vs 124 [275] pM, p = 0.35). In South Asian subjects there was a tendency towards positive correlations between endogenous glucose production and resting and clamp energy expenditure. CONCLUSIONS Subjects of South Asian ethnicity with type 2 diabetes, despite being younger and leaner, had higher basal endogenous glucose production, indicating higher hepatic insulin resistance, and a trend towards higher use of carbohydrates as fasting energy substrate compared to Nordic subjects. These findings may contribute to the understanding of the observed differences in prevalence of type 2 diabetes between the ethnic groups.

Abstract
GH treatment increases insulin levels in girls with Turner syndrome (TS), who are already predisposed to develop diabetes mellitus and other risk factors for developing cardiovascular disease. Therefore, in the present study, we investigated carbohydrate metabolism and several other risk factors that may predict development of cardiovascular disease in girls with TS after discontinuation of long-term GH treatment. Fifty-six girls, participating in a randomized dose-response study, were examined before, during, and 6 months after discontinuing long-term GH treatment with doses of 4 IU/m(2).d ( approximately 0.045 mg/kg.d), 6 IU/m(2).d, or 8 IU/m(2).d. After a minimum of 4 yr of GH treatment, low-dose micronized 17beta-estradiol was given orally. Mean (SD) age at 6 months after discontinuation of GH treatment was 15.8 (0.9) yr. Mean duration of GH treatment was 8.8 (1.7) yr. Six months after discontinuation of GH treatment, fasting glucose levels decreased and returned to pretreatment levels. The area under the curve for glucose decreased to levels even lower than pretreatment level (P < 0.001). Fasting insulin levels and the area under the curve for insulin decreased to levels just above pretreatment level (P < 0.001 for both), although being not significantly different from the control group. No dose-dependent differences among GH dosage groups were found. At 6 months after discontinuation, impaired glucose tolerance was present in 1 of 53 girls (2%), and none of the girls developed diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2. Compared with pretreatment, the body mass index SD-score had increased (P < 0.001), and the systolic and diastolic blood pressure SD-score had decreased significantly at 6 months after discontinuation of GH treatment (P < 0.001 for both) although remaining above zero (P < 0.001, P < 0.05, and P < 0.005, respectively). Compared with pretreatment, total cholesterol (TC) did not change after discontinuation of GH treatment, whereas the atherogenic index [AI = TC/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (TC/HDL-c)] and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-c) had decreased; and both HDL-c and triglyceride levels increased (P < 0.001 for AI, LDL-c, and HDL-c; P < 0.05 for triglyceride). Compared with the control group, AI, serum TC, and LDL-c levels were significantly lower (P < 0.001 for all), whereas HDL-c levels were significantly higher (P < 0.05). In conclusion, after discontinuation of long-term GH treatment in girls with TS, the GH-induced insulin resistance disappeared, blood pressure decreased but remained higher than in the normal population, and lipid levels and the AI changed to more cardio-protective values.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Simple obesity is characterized by normal or accelerated growth in the presence of reduced serum levels of GH, whereas its detailed mechanism remains unknown. We, therefore, evaluated interrelationships among serum levels of insulin, IFG-I, IGF binding protein (IGFBP)-1 and -3 and growth hormone binding protein (GHBP) in prepubertal obese children. SUBJECTS Prepubertal 20 obese children and 20 age-matched control children were included in the study. RESULTS Serum levels of insulin, IGF-I and IGFBP-3 in obese children did not differ from those in controls. The serum level of IGFBP-1 was significantly lower in obese children (22.1 +/- 18.4 micrograms/l, P < 0.001) than in control children (76.0 +/- 62.9 micrograms/l). No relationship was found between the serum levels of insulin and IGF-I, IGFBP-1, or IGFBP-3 in obese subjects. The serum level of GHBP in obese children was significantly elevated as compared with that in controls and was positively correlated with body mass index (BMI). No relationship was found between the serum levels of GHBP and IGF-I in obese subjects. CONCLUSIONS The present study showed for the first time that the fasting IGFBP-1 level was suppressed in prepubertal obese children with fasting normoinsulinaemia. We speculate that the hyperinsulinaemia which cannot be detected in the fasting state may have suppressed hepatic production of IGFBP-1. Alternatively, the reduced IGFBP-1 is likely to be a compensatory response to impaired insulin sensitivity. Thus, the IGFBP-1 level may be a useful predictor for the early identification in the development of insulin resistance in prepubertal obese children.

Abstract
Insulin Sensitivity Indices for glycemia [ISI(gly)] and blood FFA [ISI(ffa)] can be calculated with the formulas: ISI(gly) = 2/[(INSp x GLYp) + 1], and ISI(ffa) = 2/[(INSp x FFAp) + 1], where INSp, GLYp and FFAp = insulinemic, glycemic, and FFA areas during OGTT (75 g glucose) of the person under study, simplified by considering only data at 0 and 2 h (0-2 h areas), according to WHO criteria or, better, at 0, 1 and 2 h (0-1-2 h areas). Expressed as unit/ volume.h-1, 0-1-2 h area is equal to 1/2 value at 0 min + value at 1 h + 1/2 value at 2 h, while 0-2 h area is equal to value at 0 + value at 2 h. Instead of areas, basal levels can also be used. Basal levels and areas are expressed taking the mean normal value as unit, so that in normal subjects ISI(gly) and ISI(ffa) are always around 1, with maximal variations between 0 and 2. Each laboratory should have its normal reference values for basal levels and OGTT areas. However, reliable mean normal values were selected from literature. Based on meta-analysis of published data, ISI(gly) and ISI(ffa) were reduced in subjects who were overweight and/or IGT and in NIDDM patients and their relatives. Moreover, correlation of ISI(gly) with the euglycemic clamp data was significant. However, it should be stressed that the clamp procedure is performed under artificially induced steady-state whereas ISI(gly) and ISI(ffa) are obtained under rather physiological conditions, with hormonal and metabolic variables unmodified, thus being suitable to assess whole-body insulin sensitivity in the clinical setting.

Abstract
Weight gain is a common problem in domestic cats, but little is known about its metabolic effects. The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of diet-induced weight gain and subsequent weight loss on metabolic rate, body composition, and glucose tolerance. Gain of approximately 20 per cent body weight (divided approximately equally between fat and fat-free mass) over three months resulted in insulin resistance in females, indicated by increases in basal insulin concentration (68.2+/-7.9 to 119+/-16.5 pmol litre(-1), P<0.05), insulin peak response to glucose (241.1+/-31.6 to 315.0+/-23.0 pmol litre(-1), P<0.05), and deltaI/deltaG (14.2+/-2.6 to 18.1+/-1.3 pmol mmol(-1), P<0.05) compared with pre-gain values. The same numerical trend was noted in male cats, however, changes were not significant (P>0.05). Alterations in serum lipids included significant (P<0.05) elevations in triglyceride concentrations in male cats and decreased beta-lipoprotein concentrations in both genders. Weight loss over three months normalised basal insulin, insulin response to glucose, and serum triglyceride concentrations, and resulted in significant (P<0.05) decreases in serum concentrations of beta- and prebeta-lipoproteins, cholesterol, and triiodothyronine. Diet-induced weight gain of three months' duration, followed by three months' maintenance of increased body weight did not affect fasting or resting metabolic rate. Development and severity of impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance, and other changes may be affected by duration and possibly severity of weight gain.

To evaluate the early metabolic alterations induced by obesity, we studied glucose turnover and lipid levels in obese children with fasting normoinsulinaemia. Two experimental protocols were carried out. Protocol I consisted of a euglycaemic glucose clamp at two rates of insulin infusion. Protocol II was similar to protocol I except for a variable lipid infusion used to maintain basal non-esterified fatty acid (NEFA) levels. During protocol I, the glucose disappearance rates were lower in obese children, while no differences were found in hepatic glucose release. NEFA response to insulin was not substantially altered in obese children either at low or high insulin infusion. During protocol II, the NEFA clamp induced a 25% reduction in peripheral insulin sensitivity in control children whereas no changes were observed in obese children. Interestingly, lipid infusion in control children was not sufficient to reproduce the same degree of insulin resistance observed in obese children, suggesting that NEFA are only one of the determinants of insulin resistance at this stage of obesity. In conclusion, the present study provides a portrait of glucose metabolism and lipid levels in normoinsulinaemic obese children. Our results document that peripheral insulin resistance is the first alteration at this stage of obesity, whereas an increase in insulin secretion and a defect in the inhibition of hepatic glucose release by insulin may develop at a later stage. In addition, primarily receptor and post-receptor defects and some alterations of NEFA metabolism are likely to coexist in the induction of insulin resistance at this stage of obesity.

Abstract
Numerous studies have shown that coagulation abnormalities occur in the course of diabetes mellitus, resulting in a state of thrombophilia. These observations are supported by epidemiological studies which demonstrate that thromboembolic events are more likely to occur in diabetic patients. The coagulation abnormalities observed in diabetic patients seem to be caused by the hyperglycaemia, which also constitutes the distinguishing feature of this disease. These data are also supported by in vitro studies which demonstrate how glucose can directly determine alterations in the coagulation system. The abnormalities observed involve all stages of coagulation, affecting both thrombus formation and its inhibition, fibrinolysis, platelet and endothelial function. The final result is an imbalance between thrombus formation and dissolution, favouring the former. Hyperglycaemia probably determines the onset of these abnormalities through three mechanisms which are, respectively, non-enzymatic glycation, the development of increased oxidative stress and a decrease in the levels of heparan sulphate. The first seems to affect the functionality of key molecules of coagulation in a negative sense. Oxidative stress constitutes an important pro-thrombotic stimulus, while the decrease in heparan sulphate determines a reduction in antithrombotic defenses. Good metabolic control could play a key role in controlling the coagulation irregularities in diabetes. However, considering the difficulties in achieving such an objective, it is possible that the use of drugs may represent a valid alternative. In fact, several drugs exist which are of potential interest. It is, however, necessary to perform long-term studies which demonstrate unequivocably that by controlling the coagulation abnormalities in diabetic patients, prolongation of life is possible.

Abstract
Insulin resistance in Werner's syndrome (WS) was studied using the glucose clamp technique, and compared with physiologically aged and young subjects. Fasting immuno-reactive insulin (IRI) was increased in patients with Werner's syndrome compared with aged and young subjects. Metabolic clearance rate (MCR) of glucose was decreased in the aged and WS. A rightward shift of the dose-response curves of insulin and MCR of glucose was observed in the aged and WS with a more pronounced shift in the latter. MCR of insulin was also decreased in WS. [125I]insulin binding to erythrocytes was similar in the three groups. These results suggest that insulin resistance associated with WS is due to a post-binding defect manifested by a rightward shift of the dose-response curve of insulin-induced glucose disposal and a decrease in insulin clearance rate.

Abstract
The putative blunted thermogenesis in obesity may be related to insulin resistance, but insulin sensitivity and obesity are potentially confounding factors. To determine the independent effects of obesity and insulin resistance on the thermic effect of food, at rest and after exercise, lean and obese men were matched at two levels of insulin sensitivity determined by insulin-stimulated glucose disposal (milligrams per kilogram fat-free mass [FFM] per minute) during the euglycemic, hyperinsulinemic (40 mU/m2.min) clamp: 5.4 mg/kg FFM for the lean and obese groups with low insulin sensitivity, and 8.1 mg/kg FFM for the groups with high insulin sensitivity. The two lean groups were matched for percent fat (approximately 15 +/- 1% fat), as were the two obese groups (approximately 33 +/- 2% fat). Energy expenditure was measured for 3 h in the fasting state and for 3 h after a 720-kcal mixed meal, each at rest and immediately after 1 h of cycling at 100 W. The thermic effect of food (TEF) was calculated as the postprandial minus fasting energy expenditure (kcal/3 h) during rest and after exercise. During rest, TEF was blunted by both obesity (24 +/- 5 and 34 +/- 6 kcal/3 h for obese groups with low and high insulin sensitivity vs. 56 +/- 6 and 74 +/- 6 kcal/3 h for the lean groups with low and high insulin sensitivity; P less than 0.01 lean vs. obese) and insulin resistance (insulin-resistant less than insulin-sensitive, at both levels of obesity; P less than 0.01). After exercise, TEF was also impaired in the obese (47 +/- 6 and 44 +/- 5 kcal/3 h for the insulin-resistant and -sensitive groups) and in the lean insulin-resistant (55 +/- 5 kcal/3 h), compared with the lean insulin-sensitive men (71 +/- 3 kcal/3 h), P less than 0.01. Compared with rest, TEF after exercise was improved, but not normalized, in both obese groups (P less than 0.05), but unchanged in the lean groups. These results suggest that both insulin resistance and obesity are independently associated with impaired TEF at rest, but the responsiveness of thermogenesis to exercise before a meal is related to the obese state and not independently to insulin resistance per se.

Abstract
Studies were done to determine whether the minimal model approach and the glucose clamp measure equivalent indices of insulin action. Euglycemic glucose clamps (glucose, G: 85 mg/dl) were performed at two rates of insulin (I) infusion (15 and 40 mU/min per m2) in 10 subjects (body mass index, BMI, from 21 to 41 kg/m2). Insulin sensitivity index (SI) from clamps varied from 0.15 to 3.15 (mean: 1.87 +/- 0.36 X 10(-2) dl/[min per m2] per microU/ml), and declined linearly with increasing adiposity (versus BMI: r = -0.97; P less than 0.001). SI from modeling the modified frequently sampled intravenous tolerance test varied from 0.66 to 7.34 X 10(-4) min-1 per microU/ml, and was strongly correlated with SIP(clamp) (r = 0.89; P less than 0.001). SI and SIP(clamp) were similar (0.046 +/- 0.008 vs. 0.037 +/- 0.007 dl/min per microU/ml, P greater than 0.35); the relation had a slope not different from unity (1.05 P greater than 0.70) and passed through the origin (P greater than 0.40). However, on a period basis, SI exceeded SIP(clamp) slightly, due to inhibition of hepatic glucose output during the FSIGT, not included in SIP(clamp). These methods are equivalent for assessment of overall insulin sensitivity in normal and insulin-resistant nondiabetic subjects.

Abstract
To determine the natural history of the development of Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus, basal plasma insulin and glucose levels and responses to intravenous glucose tolerance tests were determined over a period of 6 years in 42 adult male rhesus monkeys (Macaca mulatta). Among the 28 obese monkeys (percent body fat greater than 22%) over the age of 10 years, 9 developed overt Type 2 diabetes (fasting plasma glucose, greater than 7.8 mmol/l, and reduced glucose disappearance rates, KG less than 1.5), and 14 monkeys have shown progressive changes which suggest that they may also become diabetic. Application of a highly constant antecedent diet and a consistent 16-h fast minimized experimental variability, and permitted the identification of 8 phases in the progression from normal lean young adult to overt Type 2 diabetes. The earliest changes which could be detected were a slight increase followed by a progressive rise in fasting plasma insulin levels and an increased insulin secretion in response to a glucose stimulus. These events preceded by several years the onset of a gradual deterioration of glucose tolerance. We found that hyper-, normo-, or hypoinsulinaemia could be associated with normoglycaemia or varying degrees of hyperglycaemia; however, the prospective longitudinal study of individual monkeys clearly identified this apparent heterogeneity of plasma insulin and glucose levels as reflecting sequential changes in a continuum of events preceding or accompanying the development of impaired glucose tolerance and Type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Abstract
In conclusion, a large body of available evidence indicates that the degree of physical conditioning is an important determinant of insulin sensitivity and overall glucose tolerance. Both acute exercise and chronic physical training are associated with enhanced disposal of a glucose load. Conversely, physical inactivity leads to a deterioration in glucose tolerance. The primary tissue responsible for accelerated glucose disposal following exercise is muscle. After an acute bout of exercise, enhanced glucose transport and augmented glycogen synthesis are largely responsible for the improvement in glucose tolerance. The beneficial effects of chronic physical training on glucose metabolism appear to be explained by multiple factors, including increased muscle mass, augmented muscle blood flow and capillary area, enhanced mitochondrial oxidative enzyme capacity, and activation of the glucose transport system. Despite these well-documented effects of training on glucose metabolism, the precise role of exercise in the treatment of diabetic patients remains to be established. In insulin-dependent (type I) diabetic individuals, acute exercise has been shown to be a helpful adjunct in establishing good glycemic control. However, the role of acute exercise in helping to smooth out glycemic control in non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetic patients has received little attention. The role of chronic physical training in the treatment of both insulin-dependent (type I) and non-insulin-dependent (type II) diabetic individuals remains to be established.

Abstract
Previous studies have demonstrated reduced in vivo insulin action in obese subjects compared with lean controls. However, little data is available on the relationship between degree of obesity and insulin action, and this relationship has not been shown to be independent of individual differences in maximal aerobic capacity. We studied 55 male Pima Indians and 35 male Caucasians with normal glucose tolerance. In vivo insulin action was measured using the hyperinsulinemic, euglycemic clamp technique at a plasma insulin concentration of approximately 100 microU/ml. Body composition was determined by densitometry, and maximal aerobic capacity was estimated using a graded exercise test. The results showed that degree of obesity was nonlinearly related to in vivo insulin action. In both Indians and Caucasians there was a significant decline in insulin action with increasing obesity up to a percent body fat of approximately 28-30%. Further increases in obesity in the Indians were not associated with significant changes in insulin action. Maximal aerobic capacity was positively linearly correlated with insulin action over the entire range of insulin action in both racial groups. Degree of obesity and maximal aerobic capacity were each independently associated with insulin action although these independent relationships were of marginal significance in the Caucasians. Surprisingly, individual differences in obesity and maximal aerobic capacity accounted for only half the variability observed in insulin action in these glucose tolerant subjects.
