Aims/hypothesis. Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) is an insulin-resistant state and a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes. The relative roles of insulin resistance and insulin deficiency in IGT have been disputed. Methods. In 40 IGT subjects and 63 sex-, age-, and weight-matched controls with normal glucose tolerance (NGT), we measured (i) indices of insulin sensitivity of fasting glucose production (by...
Aims/hypothesis. Autoantibodies against CD38 have been found in some patients with Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus and have been shown to stimulate insulin secretion by cultured human islets. We tested whether this new form of autoimmunity, (i) overlaps with anti-GAD autoimmunity, (ii) identifies an insulin-deficient phenotype, (iii) is under the influence of genetic factors. Methods...
Aims/hypothesis. We hypothesized that apolipoprotein A-II sequence variation was responsible for the observed linkage of Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus to the apolipoprotein A-II region in Northern European families ascertained for multiple diabetic siblings, and might also influence insulin sensitivity and secretion, non-esterified fatty acids, and lipids. Methods. We recruited...
