Insulin Response in Relation to Insulin Sensitivity

Abstract: OBJECTIVE -The purpose of this study was to characterize differences in the acute insulin response to glucose (AIR g ) relative to insulin sensitivity (S I ) in black and white premenopausal normoglycemic South African women matched for body fatness.RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS -Cross-sectional analysis including 57 black and white South African women matched for BMI, S I , AIR g , and the disposition index (AIR g ϫ S I ) were performed using a frequently sampled intravenous glucose tolerance test with minimal … Show more

“…Secondary aim of such medications is to prevent long-term diabetic complications as described eatrlier by eliminating various risk factors [7]. Insulin resistance, a common accompaniment of obesity, is a major risk factor for diabetes mellitus [8]. Because synthetic chemical drugs prescribed for treating obesity and diabetes had many adverse side effects; therefore, there is a great need to search for complementary alternative medicine, particularly from medicinal plants.…”

“…In addition, there are many other studies that have reported that insulin sensitivity as measured by the minimal model is 40 -50% lower in African Americans (2,16,20,23,27,39,40,46). To compare our findings with previous studies, we performed a pooled analysis of studies that included women or predominantly women (2,16,18,20,23,27,39,40,46). S I mean [95% confidence interval (CI)] in African Americans was lower than whites [African Americans: 3.1 (2.3-3.7), n ϭ 848; whites: 5.1 (3.6 -6.5), n ϭ 1,164].…”

“…The insulinogenic index (IGI) is a frequently used index of β-cell function. It is an index of insulin secretion derived from OGTT (Goedecke et al, 2009). The significant increase in insulinogenic index began from the second week and reached its maximum at weeks 4, 5 and 6.…”
