Weight Loss-Independent Effect of Liraglutide on Insulin Sensitivity in Individuals With Obesity and Prediabetes. Diabetes 2024; 73:38-50. [PMID: 37874653 PMCID: PMC10784656 DOI: 10.2337/db23-0356] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/07/2023] [Accepted: 10/16/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
Metabolic effects of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are confounded by weight loss and not fully recapitulated by increasing endogenous GLP-1. We tested the hypothesis that GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R) agonists exert weight loss-independent, GLP-1R-dependent effects that differ from effects of increasing endogenous GLP-1. Individuals with obesity and prediabetes were randomized to receive for 14 weeks the GLP-1R agonist liraglutide, a hypocaloric diet, or the dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibitor sitagliptin. The GLP-1R antagonist exendin(9-39) and placebo were administered in a two-by-two crossover study during mixed-meal tests. Liraglutide and diet, but not sitagliptin, caused weight loss. Liraglutide improved insulin sensitivity measured by HOMA for insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), the updated HOMA model (HOMA2), and the Matsuda index after 2 weeks, prior to weight loss. Liraglutide decreased fasting and postprandial glucose levels, and decreased insulin, C-peptide, and fasting glucagon levels. In contrast, diet-induced weight loss improved insulin sensitivity by HOMA-IR and HOMA2, but not the Matsuda index, and did not decrease glucose levels. Sitagliptin increased endogenous GLP-1 and GIP values without altering insulin sensitivity or fasting glucose levels, but decreased postprandial glucose and glucagon levels. Notably, sitagliptin increased GIP without altering weight. Acute GLP-1R antagonism increased glucose levels in all groups, increased the Matsuda index and fasting glucagon level during liraglutide treatment, and increased endogenous GLP-1 values during liraglutide and sitagliptin treatments. Thus, liraglutide exerts rapid, weight loss-independent, GLP-1R-dependent effects on insulin sensitivity that are not achieved by increasing endogenous GLP-1. ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS Metabolic benefits of glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) receptor agonists are confounded by weight loss and are not fully achieved by increasing endogenous GLP-1 through dipeptidyl peptidase 4 (DPP-4) inhibition. We investigated weight loss-independent, GLP-1 receptor (GLP-1R)-dependent metabolic effects of liraglutide versus a hypocaloric diet or the DPP-4 inhibitor sitagliptin. GLP-1R antagonism with exendin(9-39) was used to assess GLP-1R-dependent effects during mixed meals. Liraglutide improved insulin sensitivity and decreased fasting and postprandial glucose prior to weight loss, and these benefits were reversed by exendin(9-39). GLP-1R agonists exert rapid, weight loss-independent, GLP-1R-dependent effects on insulin sensitivity not achieved by increasing endogenous GLP-1.

Abstract
Many people with obesity and type 2 diabetes achieve remission of their diabetes after Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass Surgery but the mechanisms remain disputed. We provide our perspective on competing data sets that either point towards this effect being entirely due to the loss of weight, or due to weight loss-independent effects.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery improves glucose homeostasis and glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes. Over the past 20 years, a breadth of studies has been conducted in humans and rodents aimed to identify the regulatory nodes responsible for surgical remission of type 2 diabetes. The review herein discusses central mechanisms of type 2 diabetes remission associated with weight loss and surgical modification of the gastrointestinal tract.

Abstract
High-quality clinical trial data demonstrate that remission is possible for people living with type 2 diabetes (T2D) if they lose a large amount of weight (≥ 10 kg). Durable remission appears predicated on the long-term maintenance of weight loss. Unfortunately, long-term follow-up data from lifestyle-based weight loss programmes show that, on average, most people regain at least some of the weight lost. In addition, restoration of a diminished first-phase insulin response also appears necessary for durable remission, and this becomes less likely as T2D progresses. A pragmatic approach to enhance the effects of weight loss on durable remission is to consider whether dietary components could help control blood glucose, independent of caloric balance. This manuscript reviews current evidence on weight-neutral effects of diet on blood glucose, including high-protein, low-carbohydrate, high-fibre and plant-based diets, with a particular focus on the effect of nutrition on the underlying pathophysiology of T2D, including the first-phase insulin response. The importance of mechanistic data in enhancing our understanding of dietary strategies in T2D remission is described, and suggestions are made for future advances in remission research.

Abstract
According to the most recent publication by the Canadian Public Health Agency, obesity affects 25% of adults. In addition, there is a clear association between the recent rise in obesity and the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes. Medical therapy for obesity has shown limited long-term effectiveness, and surgical treatment is now recognized by medical authorities as part of the armamentarium for the management of type 2 diabetes in severely obese patients. The current indications for obesity surgery and postoperative management are reviewed. The choice of surgery should balance expected benefits associated with weight loss (including remission rate of type 2 diabetes), side effects and the risks for early and long-term complications. Long-term outcomes of metabolic surgery for diabetes vary according to the type of surgery (ranging between 20% and 90% remission rates) and the underlying metabolic changes. Several controlled trials have been published in recent years confirming the superiority of metabolic surgery over medical treatment for the management of type 2 diabetes associated with severe obesity. Some of the known underlying mechanisms of action include a combination of caloric restriction, hormonal changes, decreased nutrient absorption and changes in bile acids, microbiota and incretins. Further research is needed to clarify the mechanistic changes associated with each surgical procedure and their respective long-term outcomes.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery, specifically Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and vertical sleeve gastrectomy (VSG), are the most effective and durable treatments for morbid obesity and potentially a viable treatment for type 2 diabetes (T2D). The resolution rate of T2D following these procedures is between 40 and 80% and far surpasses that achieved by medical management alone. The molecular basis for this improvement is not entirely understood, but has been attributed in part to the altered enterohepatic circulation of bile acids. In this review we highlight how bile acids potentially contribute to improved lipid and glucose homeostasis, insulin sensitivity and energy expenditure after these procedures. The impact of altered bile acid levels in enterohepatic circulation is also associated with changes in gut microflora, which may further contribute to some of these beneficial effects. We highlight the beneficial effects of experimental surgical procedures in rodents that alter bile secretory flow without gastric restriction or altering nutrient flow. This information suggests a role for bile acids beyond dietary fat emulsification in altering whole body glucose and lipid metabolism strongly, and also suggests emerging roles for the activation of the bile acid receptors farnesoid x receptor (FXR) and G-protein coupled bile acid receptor (TGR5) in these improvements. The limitations of rodent studies and the current state of our understanding is reviewed and the potential effects of bile acids mediating the short- and long-term metabolic improvements after bariatric surgery is critically examined.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bariatric surgery has been shown to have important long-term metabolic effects resulting in enhanced insulin sensitivity and improved glucose tolerance in patients with type 2 diabetes. The contribution of reduced caloric intake to these beneficial effects of surgery remains unclear. The aim of this study was to compare the short-term effects (1 week) of bariatric surgical procedures with a very low caloric intake (VLCI) on insulin sensitivity (IS) and insulin secretion (ISR) in nondiabetic obese subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Twenty obese patients without diabetes (BMI 44.2 ± 0.7 kg/m2) were admitted to the clinic for 1 week. At baseline and 1 week after VLCI (600 kcal/day), subjects received a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp with tracer infusion to quantify endogenous glucose production (EGP), lipolysis (rate of appearance of glycerol [RaGlycerol]), peripheral insulin sensitivity (insulin-stimulated glucose disposal [M value] divided by the steady-state plasma insulin concentration [M/I]), hepatic insulin sensitivity (Hep-IS [= 1/(EGP ⋅ insulin)]), and adipose insulin sensitivity (Adipo-IS [= 1/(RaGlycerol ⋅ insulin)]). An intravenous glucose bolus was administered at the end of the insulin clamp to measure ISR and β-cell function (disposition index [DI]). Approximately 3 months later, patients were admitted for laparoscopic adjustable gastric banding (LAGB) (n = 10) or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) (n = 10), and were restudied 1 week after surgery under the same caloric regimen (600 kcal/day). RESULTS After 1 week of VLCI, patients lost 2.1 kg without significant changes in Hep-IS, Adipo-IS, M/I, or DI. RYGB and LAGB led to greater weight loss (5.5 and 5.2 kg, respectively) and to significant improvement in Hep-IS, EGP, and lipolysis. Only RYGB improved Adipo-IS and M/I. No change in ISR or DI was observed in either surgical group. CONCLUSIONS Bariatric surgery improves IS within 1 week. These metabolic effects were independent of caloric intake and more pronounced after RYGB compared with LAGB.

Abstract
Obesity is closely associated with the development of type 2 diabetes. Many strategies have been used in the past to combat these two conditions, but very few provide for stable and durable glycemic control. Bariatric surgery has emerged as a powerful tool for treating obesity and in over 70 % of cases provides a short-term cure for diabetes. While the acute metabolic effects of surgery are striking, it remains important for us to also consider the long-term effects. This review aims to summarize the chronic or long-term metabolic and physiological effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery on pancreatic function, skeletal muscle and hepatic insulin sensitivity, and gastrointestinal remodeling. An increased understanding of the current state of research in these areas can provide the basis for stimulating further research that would contribute to new treatment and management strategies for obesity and diabetes.

Abstract
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) affects ~10% of the US population, a subset of whom have severe insulin resistance (SIR) (>200 units/d). Treatment of these patients with high-dose insulin presents logistical and compliance challenges. We hypothesized that mild caloric restriction would reduce insulin requirements in patients with T2D and SIR.This was a retrospective study at the National Institutes of Health Clinical Center. Inclusion criteria were as follows: T2D, and insulin dose >200 units/d or >2 units/kg/d. The intervention consisted of mild caloric restriction during a 3 to 6-day hospitalization. The major outcomes were change in insulin dose and blood glucose from admission to discharge.Ten patients met inclusion criteria. Baseline glycated hemoglobin A1c was 10.0 ± 1.6% and body mass index 38.8 ± 9.0 kg/m. Food intake was restricted from 2210 ± 371 kcal/d preadmission to 1810 ± 202 during the hospital stay (16.5% reduction). Insulin dose decreased from 486 ± 291 units/d preadmission to 223 ± 127 at discharge (44% reduction, P = 0.0025). Blood sugars decreased nonsignificantly in the fasting state (from 184 ± 85 to 141 ± 42, P = 0.20), before lunch (239 ± 68 to 180 ± 76, P = 0.057), and at bedtime (212 ± 95 to 176 ± 48, P = 0.19), and significantly decreased before dinner (222 ± 92 to 162 ± 70, P = 0.016).Mild caloric restriction, an accessible and affordable intervention, substantially reduced insulin doses in patients with T2D and SIR. Further studies are needed to determine if the intervention and results are sustainable outside of a hospital setting.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS South Asians have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes than Europeans. The underlying cause of this excess risk is still poorly understood but might be related to differences in the regulation of energy/nutrient-sensing pathways in metabolic tissues and subsequent changes in whole-body substrate metabolism. In this study, we investigated the whole-body and skeletal muscle metabolic adaptations to short-term energy restriction in South Asian and European volunteers. METHODS Twenty-four middle-aged overweight South Asian and European men underwent a two-step hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp, with skeletal muscle biopsies and indirect calorimetry before and after an 8 day diet very low in energy (very low calorie diet [VLCD]). Abdominal fat distribution and hepatic triacylglycerol content were assessed using MRI and MR spectroscopy. RESULTS South Asian men had higher hepatic triacylglycerol content than European men, and exhibited elevated clamp insulin levels that probably reflect a lower insulin clearance rate. Despite higher insulin levels, endogenous glucose production rate was similar and glucose disposal rate (Rd) and nonoxidative glucose disposal rate (NOGD) were significantly lower in South Asian than European men, indicating impaired whole-body insulin sensitivity. Energy restriction decreased abdominal fat mass and hepatic triacylglycerol content in both groups. However, the shift induced by energy restriction from glucose towards lipid oxidation observed in European men was impaired in South Asian men, indicating whole-body metabolic inflexibility. Remarkably, although energy restriction improved hepatic insulin sensitivity in both groups, Rd improved only in South Asian men owing to higher NOGD. At the molecular level, an increase in insulin-induced activation of the skeletal muscle mTOR pathway was found in South Asian men, showing that skeletal muscle energy/nutrient-sensing pathways were differentially affected by energy restriction. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION We conclude that South Asian men exhibit a different metabolic adaptation to short-term energy restriction than European men.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To study the effect of different weight loss strategies on levels of the metabolic regulator FGF21 in morbidly obese females with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) or type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). DESIGN Observational intervention trial. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS Weight reduction was achieved by Gastric Banding (GB, n = 11) or Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB, n = 16) in subjects with NGT, and by RYGB (n = 15) or a very-low-calorie diet (VLCD, n = 12) in type 2 diabetics. Fasted and/or postprandial levels of FGF21, FGF19 (an FGF21-related postprandial hormone) and bile salts (implicated in regulation of FGF21 and FGF19 expression) were measured before, and 3 and 12 weeks after intervention. RESULTS Fasted FGF21 levels were elevated in T2DM subjects. Calorie restriction by either GB or VLCD lowered bile salt and FGF21 levels. In contrast, RYGB surgery was associated with elevated bile salt and FGF21 levels. CONCLUSIONS Calorie restriction and RYGB have opposite effects on serum bile salt and FGF21 levels. Calorie restriction results in FGF21 approaching nonobese control levels, suggesting that this intervention is effective in reducing the "nutritional crisis" that appears to underly FGF21 elevation in obesity. FGF21 elevation after RYGB may contribute to the beneficial effect of this procedure.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To assess the rapid improvement of insulin sensitivity and β-cell function following biliopancreatic diversion with duodenal switch (BPD-DS) and determine the role played by caloric restriction in these changes. METHODS Standard meals were administrated before and on day 3, 4, and 5 after BPD-DS to measure total caloric intake, glucose excursion, insulin sensitivity, and secretion in matched type 2 diabetes and normoglycemic (NG) subjects. In a second set of study, other subjects with type 2 diabetes had the same meal tests prior to and after a 3-day caloric restriction identical to that observed after BPD-DS and then 3 days after actually undergoing BPD-DS. RESULTS Improvement of HOMA-IR occurred at day 3 after BPD-DS in diabetes and after 3 days of caloric restriction. The disposition index (DI) improved rapidly in diabetes after BPD-DS and to a similar extent after caloric restriction. DI was higher and did not change after BPD-DS in NG. Changes in glucagon-like peptide-1, gastric inhibitory peptide, peptide tyrosine tyrosine, ghrelin, and pancreatic polypeptide levels were not associated with modulation of DI in the participants. CONCLUSIONS Caloric restriction is the major mechanism underlying the early improvement of insulin sensitivity and β-cell function after BPD-DS in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES We sought to determine: (1) if early weight regain between 1 and 2 years after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) is associated with worsened hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity, and (2) if preoperative levels of ghrelin and leptin are associated with early weight regain after RYGB. METHODS Hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity and ghrelin and leptin plasma levels were assessed longitudinally in 45 subjects before RYGB and at 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years postoperatively. Weight regain was defined as ≥5% increase in body weight between 1 and 2 years after RYGB. RESULTS Weight regain occurred in 33% of subjects, with an average increase in body weight of 10 ± 5% (8.5 ± 3.3 kg). Weight regain was not associated with worsening of peripheral or hepatic insulin sensitivity. Subjects with weight regain after RYGB had higher preoperative and postoperative levels of ghrelin compared to those who maintained or lost weight during this time. Conversely, the trajectories of leptin levels corresponded with the trajectories of fat mass in both groups. CONCLUSIONS Early weight regain after RYGB is not associated with a reversal of improvements in insulin sensitivity. Higher preoperative ghrelin levels might identify patients that are more susceptible to weight regain after RYGB.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) and restrictive weight loss interventions, such as gastric banding (GB) and very-low-calorie diets (VLCD) directly impact glucose metabolism, possibly by calorie restriction and/or altered secretion of gut hormones. We aimed to establish the direct endocrine and metabolic effects of RYGB compared to restrictive interventions in obese glucose-tolerant (NGT) subjects and subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). DESIGN Controlled, nonrandomized observational trial. PATIENTS AND MEASUREMENTS Four groups of obese females received a mixed meal at baseline and 3 weeks after intervention; NGT-GB (n = 11), NGT-RYGB (n = 16), T2DM-RYGB (n = 15) and T2DM-VLCD (n = 12). Normal weight controls (n = 12) were studied once. RESULTS At baseline, all obese subjects were hyperinsulinemic. T2DM was associated with hyperglycaemia and decreased GLP-1 levels. RYGB and VLCD reduced glucose levels to a similar extent in T2DM, insulin levels decreased only after VLCD. Comparison of restrictive intervention vs RYGB showed a more pronounced decrease in glucose and insulin AUC after restriction. In NGT and T2DM subjects, RYGB increased GLP-1 and PYY levels and decreased ghrelin levels, whereas VLCD and GB only increased GIP levels. CONCLUSIONS These data indicate that deterioration of glucose metabolism in T2DM is associated with a decline of GLP-1 levels. Calorie restriction facilitates glucose metabolism and blunts hyperinsulinemia in obese (diabetic) humans. Additional duodenal exclusion through RYGB induces gut hormone release and hyperinsulinemia but does not improve postprandial glucose levels any further. Our data thus strongly suggest that calorie restriction underlies the short-term metabolic benefits of RYGB in obese T2DM patients.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Narcolepsy is associated with obesity though it is uncertain whether this is caused by changes in glucose and fat metabolism. Therefore, we performed a detailed analysis of systemic energy homeostasis in narcolepsy patients, and additionally, investigated whether it was affected by three months of sodium oxybate (SXB) treatment. METHODS Nine hypocretin deficient patients with narcolepsy-cataplexy, and nine healthy sex, age, and BMI matched controls were enrolled. A hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp combined with stable isotopes ([6,6-(2)H2]-glucose and [(2)H5]- glycerol) was performed at baseline. In seven patients a second study was performed after three months of SXB treatment. RESULTS Glucose disposal rate (GDR) per unit serum insulin was significantly higher in narcolepsy patients compared to matched controls (1.6 ± 0.2 vs. 1.1 ± 0.3 μmol/kgFFM/min/mU×L; P = 0.024), whereas β-cell function was similar (P = 0.50). Basal steady state glycerol appearance rate tended to be lower in narcolepsy patients (5.2 ± 0.4 vs. 7.5 ± 1.3 μmol/kgFM/min; P = 0.058), suggesting a lower rate of lipolysis. SXB treatment induced a trend in reduction of the GDR (1.4 ± 0.1 vs. 1.1 ± 0.2 μmol/kgFFM/min/mU×L; P = 0.063) and a reduction in endogenous glucose production (0.24 ± 0.03 vs. 0.16 ± 0.03 μmol/kgFFM/min/mU×L: P = 0.028) per unit serum insulin. After SXB treatment lipolysis increased (4.9 ± 0.4 vs. 6.5 ± 0.6 μmol/kgFM/min; P = 0.018), and body weight decreased in narcolepsy patients (99.2 ± 6.0 vs. 94.0 ± 5.4 kg; P = 0.044). CONCLUSION We show that narcolepsy patients are more insulin sensitive and may have a lower rate of lipolysis than matched controls. SXB stimulated lipolysis in narcolepsy patients, possibly accounting for the weight loss after treatment. While sodium oxybate tended to decrease systemic insulin sensitivity, it increased hepatic insulin sensitivity, suggesting tissue-specific effects.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Bariatric surgery reduces weight and improves glucose metabolism in obese patients. We investigated the effects of bariatric surgery on hepatic insulin sensitivity. METHODS Twenty-three morbidly obese (nine diabetic and fourteen non-diabetic) patients and ten healthy, lean control subjects were studied using positron emission tomography to assess hepatic glucose uptake in the fasting state and during euglycemic hyperinsulinemia. Magnetic resonance spectroscopy was performed to measure liver fat content and magnetic resonance imaging to obtain liver volume. Obese patients were studied before bariatric surgery (either sleeve gastrectomy or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass) and six months after surgery. RESULTS Insulin-induced hepatic glucose uptake was increased by 33% in non-diabetic and by 36% in diabetic patients at follow-up compared with baseline, but not totally normalized. The liver fat content was reduced by 76%, liver volume by 26% and endogenous glucose production by 19% in non-diabetic patients. The respective changes in diabetic patients were 73%, 24%, and 25%. Postoperatively, liver fat content and endogenous glucose production were almost normalized to lean controls, but liver volume remained greater than in control subjects. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that bariatric surgery leads to a significant improvement in hepatic insulin sensitivity: insulin-stimulated hepatic glucose uptake was improved and endogenous glucose production reduced when measured, six-months, after surgery. These metabolic effects were accompanied by a marked reduction in hepatic volume and fat content. Overall, the gain in hepatic insulin sensitivity in diabetic patients was quite similar to non-diabetic patients for the same weight reduction.

Abstract
CONTEXT Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (RMS) is caused by mutations of the insulin receptor and results in extreme insulin resistance and dysglycemia. Hyperglycemia in RMS is very difficult to treat, and patients are at risk for early morbidity and mortality from complications of diabetes. OBJECTIVE Our objective was to study 1-year effects of recombinant human methionyl leptin (metreleptin) in 5 patients with RMS and 10-year effects in 2 of these patients. DESIGN AND SETTING We conducted an open-label nonrandomized study at the National Institutes of Health. PATIENTS Patients were adolescents with RMS and poorly controlled diabetes. INTERVENTION Two patients were treated with escalating doses (0.02 up to 0.22 mg/kg/d) of metreleptin for 10 years, including 3 cycles of metreleptin withdrawal and reinitiation. In all 5 patients, 1-year effects of metreleptin (0.22 mg/kg/d) were studied. OUTCOME MEASURES Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and body mass index (BMI) z-scores were evaluated every 6 months. RESULTS HbA1c decreased from 11.4% ± 1.1% at baseline to 9.3% ± 1.9% after 6 months and 9.7% ± 1.6% after 12 months of metreleptin (P = .007). In patients treated for 10 years, HbA1c declined with each cycle of metreleptin and rose with each withdrawal. BMI z-scores declined from -1.4 ± 1.8 at baseline, to -2.6 ± 1.6 after 12 months of metreleptin (P = .0006). Changes in BMI z-score correlated with changes in HbA1c (P < .0001). CONCLUSIONS Metreleptin treatment for 12 months was associated with a 1.7% reduction in HbA1c; part of this improvement was likely mediated via decreased BMI. Metreleptin is a promising treatment option for RMS, but additional therapies are needed to achieve HbA1c targets.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE A single bout of exercise can improve acute postprandial glucose metabolism aggravated by short-term low-carbohydrate/high-fat diet (HFD). The purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of a single bout of aerobic exercise on short-term HFD-induced postprandial glucose and incretin metabolism during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). MATERIALS/METHODS Eleven healthy young men (age [mean±SE] 27±1 years; body mass index, 22±1 kg/m(2)) performed three, 3-day interventions in randomized order: (1) a normal diet (ND: ~22% fat), (2) an HFD (~69% fat) and (3) an HFD with a single bout of aerobic exercise (HFDEx). The exercise (50% peak oxygen consumption; ~200 kcal) was performed on the third day in HFDEx. An OGTT was performed after each 3-day dietary intervention. RESULTS The incremental area under the curve (iAUC) of plasma glucose levels during the OGTT was significantly higher in the HFD and HFDEx trials than in the ND trial (P=0.001). In addition, the iAUC of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) level was significantly higher in the HFD trial than in the ND and HFDEx trials (P=0.04). The first-phase insulin secretion indexes were significantly lower in the HFD (P=0.01 and 0.002) and HFDEx trials (P=0.05 and 0.008) than in the ND trial. CONCLUSION A single bout of aerobic exercise did not improve the short-term HFD-induced aggravation of postprandial glucose and insulin metabolism during the OGTT. However, it did normalize the increased postprandial GLP-1 level induced by HFD.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are reported to be associated with relative overactivity of the sympathetic nervous system (SNS), which is reversible by weight loss. However, direct effects of weight loss by calorie restriction vs Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on SNS overactivity were not studied in parallel. This study compared the effects of RYGB vs restrictive weight loss in obese patients with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) and with T2DM on SNS function as measured by heart rate variability (HRV). DESIGN AND METHODS Lean (n=12), obese NGT (n=27) and T2DM (n=27) subjects were included in this study. Weight reduction in NGT subjects was achieved by gastric banding (GB) or RYGB and in T2DM subjects by RYGB or high-protein very-low-calorie diet (VLCD). HRV analysis was performed and blood samples were taken at baseline, 3 weeks and 3 months after intervention. RESULTS At baseline, T2DM subjects showed SNS overactivity and NGT subjects showed similar, but non-significant, findings when compared with lean controls. Weight loss after 3 weeks was comparable in all treatment groups, whereas after 3 months, weight loss was most in VLCD and RYGB subjects. RYGB and VLCD treatment reduced SNS activity within 3 weeks in T2DM patients. After 3 months, restoration to normal autonomic nervous system activity was evident for all groups, except for the NGT-GB group. CONCLUSION We can conclude that SNS overactivity is more pronounced in obese T2DM subjects when compared with NGT subjects. Reduction of SNS overactivity coincides with weight loss with the time-course of reduction dependent on the type of intervention. Surgery or caloric restriction may transiently induce SNS overactivity but do not prevent a direct restoration of sympathovagal balance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Bariatric surgery has rapid metabolic effects on glucose metabolism before the occurrence of clinically significant weight loss. This suggests an acute effect of the surgery itself, e.g., resulting from bypassing the nutrient flow from the proximal gastrointestinal tract. Rapid effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery (RYGB) on glucose metabolism were defined. DESIGN AND METHODS Glucose metabolism and total triglyceride hydrolysis in the basal state and during a hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp using stable isotopes 2 weeks were studied before and after RYGB. RESULTS Eighteen pre-menopausal women scheduled for RYGB were included. 2 weeks after RYGB median weight loss was 7.8 kg. Basal insulin and glucose levels decreased after surgery. Endogenous glucose production (EGP) was lower after surgery. In addition, insulin levels were lower during the clamp after surgery, suggesting enhanced clearance. Hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity did not change. Free fatty acid (FFA) levels increased after surgery both in the basal state and during the first step of the clamp. Total triglyceride hydrolysis did not change in the basal state and tended to be higher during hyperinsulinemia. CONCLUSIONS Within 2 weeks, RYGB reduces basal EGP as well as insulin and glucose levels without an acute beneficial effect on hepatic or peripheral insulin sensitivity. The latter may be explained by higher rates of lipolysis and exposure to FFA induced by the hypocaloric state.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Long-term treatment with topiramate reduces body weight and improves insulin sensitivity in obese humans. Our aim was to evaluate the effect of topiramate treatment for 4 weeks on insulin sensitivity and secretion, independent of weight loss. DESIGN Randomized, double-blind, crossover, placebo-controlled study. METHODS Thirteen obese (BMI 36.6 ± 1.3 kg/m(2) (mean ± s.e.m.)), insulin-resistant (homeostasis model of assessment-insulin resistance 2.0 ± 0.2) women received topiramate (T, maximum dose of 75 mg) and placebo (P) for 4 weeks, separated by a 4-week washout period. Insulin sensitivity and β-cell function were assessed using a two-step hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp with stable isotopes and a hyperglycemic clamp. RESULTS Hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivities were not affected by topiramate treatment (glucose disposal rate (step 1 (insulin infusion rate 10 MU/M(2) per min) T: 17.5 ± 0.8 vs P: 18.5 ± 1.0 μmol/kg(LBM) per min, t=1.016, P=0.33; step 2 (insulin infusion rate 40 mU/m(2) per min) T: 27.9 ± 3.2 vs P: 28.8 ± 1.9 μmol/kg(LBM) per min, t=0.418, P=0.68)). Subjects lost a small amount of weight during the topiramate period (T: -1.0 ± 0.2 vs P: -0.1 ± 0.2 kg, t=2842, P=0.15). There were no changes in body fat mass, blood pressure, and fasting glucose. β-Cell function was not affected by topiramate as evidenced by an unaltered area under the curve of early (0-10 min; T: 1929.6 ± 265.7 vs P: 2024.7 ± 333.6 pmol/l, t=-0.357, P=0.73) and late (80-120 min; T: 28,017.7 ± 5029.9 vs P: 31,567.7 ± 5376.2 pmol/l, t=-1.481, P=0.16) phase insulin levels during hyperglycemia. The use of topiramate was associated with significant side effects such as paresthesia, nausea, dizziness, and concentration problems. CONCLUSIONS Low-dose topiramate treatment for 4 weeks, relative to placebo, had no significant effect on insulin sensitivity in overweight/obese adult females without established diabetes.

Abstract
Background Obesity is of major pathogenetic importance to type 2 diabetes, it contributes to poor glycemic control and increases the risk of cardiovascular disease. Over 80% of patients with diabetes type 2 are overweight. To achieve a more favourable risk profile, changes in diet and lifestyle are needed. However, current treatment programs for obese DM type 2 patients are not effective in the long term. In this RCT, we compare the effectiveness of a Combined Psychological Intervention (CPI) and usual care in maintaining the favourable effects on weight and risk profile during 2 years of follow-up after a Very Low Calorie Diet (VLCD). Methods and design In a randomised parallel group intervention study, 140 patients with type 2 diabetes and overweight (BMI>27 kg/m2) will be recruited from the outpatient department of the Erasmus Medical Centre. After obtaining ≥5% of weight loss with a VLCD, participants will be randomly assigned to CPI or usual care for 10 weeks. CPI consists of cognitive behaviour therapy, problem solving therapy and proactive coping. Primary outcome measure is weight change (kg). Other outcome measures are Body Mass Index (BMI = weight (kg)/length (m)2), waist circumference (cm), systolic blood pressure (mmHg), HbA1c (mmol/mol), lipid levels (LDL, HDL, TG (mmol/l) and chol/HDL-ratio), antidiabetic agents and doses, cardiovascular risk profile (UKPDS), lifestyle and quality of life (EuroQol EQ-5D). Psychosocial parameters are also studied, as secondary outcomes as well as determinants for weight loss. When successful, we want to conduct an analysis of the cost effectiveness of the intervention as compared to usual care. Discussion We expect that a CPI after a VLCD will be effective in maintaining weight loss and improving cardiovascular risk and glycaemic control, while being cost-effective and improving quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
Obesity is an important risk factor for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Weight loss improves the major factors involved in the pathogenesis of T2DM, namely insulin action and beta cell function, and is considered a primary therapy for obese patients who have T2DM. Unfortunately, most patients with T2DM fail to achieve successful weight loss and adequate glycemic control from medical therapy. In contrast, bariatric surgery causes marked weight loss and complete remission of T2DM in most patients. Moreover, bariatric surgical procedures that divert nutrients away from the upper gastrointestinal tract are more successful in producing weight loss and remission of T2DM than those that simply restrict stomach capacity. Although upper gastrointestinal tract bypass procedures alter the metabolic response to meal ingestion, by increasing early postprandial plasma concentrations of glucagon-like peptide 1 and insulin, it is not clear whether these effects make an important contribution to long-term control of glycemia and T2DM once substantial surgery-induced weight loss has occurred. Nonetheless, the effects of surgery on body weight and metabolic function indicate that bariatric surgery should be part of the standard therapy for T2DM. More research is needed to advance our understanding of the physiological effects of different bariatric surgical procedures and possible weight loss-independent factors that improve metabolic function and contribute to the resolution of T2DM.

Abstract
Bariatric surgery is currently the most effective and durable therapy for obesity. Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery, the most commonly performed procedure worldwide, causes substantial weight loss and improvement in several comorbidities associated with obesity, especially type 2 diabetes. Several mechanisms are proposed to explain the improvement in glucose metabolism after RYGB surgery: the caloric restriction and weight loss per se, the improvement in insulin resistance and beta cell function, and finally the alterations in the various gastrointestinal hormones and adipokines that have been shown to play an important role in glucose homeostasis. However, the timing, exact changes of these hormones, and the relative importance of these changes in the metabolic improvement postbariatric surgery remain to be further clarified. This paper reviews the various changes post-RYGB in adipokines and gut peptides in subjects with T2D.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The surgical treatment of obesity ameliorates metabolic abnormalities in patients with type 2 diabetes. The objective of this study was to evaluate the early effects of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) on metabolic and hormonal parameters in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS Ten patients with T2DM (BMI, 39.7 ± 1.9) were evaluated before and 7, 30, and 90 days after RYGB. A meal test was performed, and plasma insulin, glucose, glucagon, and glucagon-like-peptide 1 (GLP-1) levels were measured at fasting and postprandially. RESULTS Seven days after RYGB, a significant reduction was observed in HOMA-IR index from 7.8 ± 5.5 to 2.6 ± 1.7; p < 0.05 was associated with a nonsignificant reduction in body weight. The insulin and GLP-1 curves began to show a peak at 30 min after food ingestion, while there was a progressive decrease in glucagon and blood glucose levels throughout the meal test. Thirty and 90 days after RYGB, along with progressive weight loss, blood glucose and hormonal changes remained in the same direction and became more expressive with the post-meal insulin curve suggesting recovery of the first phase of insulin secretion and with the increase in insulinogenic index, denoting improvement in β-cell function. Furthermore, a positive correlation was found between changes in GLP-1 and insulin levels measured at 30 min after meal (r = 0.6; p = 0.000). CONCLUSION Our data suggest that the RYGB surgery, beyond weight loss, induces early beneficial hormonal changes which favor glycemic control in type 2 diabetes.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Early after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB), there is improvement in type 2 diabetes, which is characterized by insulin resistance. We determined the acute effects of RYGB, with and without omentectomy, on hepatic and peripheral insulin sensitivity. We also investigated whether preoperative diabetes or postoperative diabetes remission influenced tissue-specific insulin sensitivity after RYGB. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We studied 40 obese (BMI 48 ± 8 kg/m(2)) participants, 17 with diabetes. Participants were randomized to RYGB alone or in conjunction with omentectomy. Hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps with isotopic-tracer infusion were completed at baseline and at 1 month postoperatively to assess insulin sensitivity. RESULTS Participants lost 11 ± 4% of body weight at 1 month after RYGB, without an improvement in peripheral insulin sensitivity; these outcomes were not affected by omentectomy, preoperative diabetes, or remission of diabetes. Hepatic glucose production (HGP) and the hepatic insulin sensitivity index improved in all subjects, irrespective of omentectomy (P ≤ 0.001). Participants with diabetes had higher baseline HGP values (P = 0.003) that improved to a greater extent after RYGB (P = 0.006). Of the 17 participants with diabetes, 10 (59%) had remission at 1 month. Diabetes remission had a group × time effect (P = 0.041) on HGP; those with diabetes remission had lower preoperative and postoperative HGP. CONCLUSIONS Peripheral insulin sensitivity did not improve 1 month after RYGB, irrespective of omentectomy, diabetes, or diabetes remission. Hepatic insulin sensitivity improved at 1 month after RYGB and was more pronounced in patients with diabetes. Improvement in HGP may influence diabetes remission early after RYGB.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Dietary restriction benefits health and increases lifespan in several species. Food odorants restrain the beneficial effects of dietary restriction in Drosophila melanogaster. We hypothesized that the presence of visual and odorous food stimuli during a prolonged fast modifies the neuroendocrine and metabolic response to fasting in humans. SUBJECTS AND METHODS In this randomized, crossover intervention study, healthy young men (n = 12) fasted twice for 60 h; once in the presence and once in the absence of food-related visual and odorous stimuli. At baseline and on the last morning of each intervention, an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) was performed. During the OGTT, blood was sampled and a functional MRI scan was made. RESULTS The main effects of prolonged fasting were: (1) decreased plasma thyroid stimulating hormone and triiodothyronine levels; (2) downregulation of the pituitary-gonadal axis; (3) reduced plasma glucose and insulin concentrations, but increased glucose and insulin responses to glucose ingestion; (4) altered hypothalamic blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signal in response to the glucose load (particularly during the first 20 min after ingestion); (5) increased resting energy expenditure. Exposure to food cues did not affect these parameters. CONCLUSION This study shows that 60 h of fasting in young men (1) decreases the hypothalamic BOLD signal in response to glucose ingestion; (2) induces glucose intolerance; (3) increases resting energy expenditure, and (4) downregulates the pituitary-thyroid and pituitary-gonadal axes. Exposure to visual and odorous food cues did not alter these metabolic and neuroendocrine adaptations to nutrient deprivation.

Abstract
Insulin resistance is a risk factor for various age-related diseases. In the Leiden Longevity study, we recruited long-lived siblings and their offspring. Previously, we showed that, compared to controls, the offspring of long-lived siblings had a better glucose tolerance. Here, we compared groups of offspring from long-lived siblings and controls for the relation between insulin and glucose in nonfasted serum (n = 1848 subjects) and for quantitation of insulin action using a two-step hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp (n = 24 subjects). Groups of offspring and controls were similar with regard to sex distribution, age, and body mass index. We observed a positive bi-phasic linear relationship between ln (insulin) levels and nonfasted glucose with a steeper slope from 10.7mU L(-1) insulin onwards in controls compared to offspring (P = 0.02). During the clamp study, higher glucose infusion rate was required to maintain euglycemia during high-dose insulin infusion (P = 0.036) in offspring, reflecting higher whole-body insulin sensitivity. After adjustment for sex, age, and fat mass, the insulin-mediated glucose disposal rate (GDR) was higher in offspring than controls (42.5 ± 2.7 vs. 33.2 ± 2.7 micromol kg(-1) min(-1) , mean ± SE, P = 0.025). The insulin-mediated suppression of endogenous glucose production and lipolysis did not differ between groups (all P > 0.05). Furthermore, GDR was significantly correlated with the mean age of death of the parents. In conclusion, offspring from long-lived siblings are marked by enhanced peripheral glucose disposal. Future research will focus on identifying the underlying biomolecular mechanisms, with the aim to promote health in old age.

Abstract
Calorie restriction is the most effective way of expanding life-span and decreasing morbidity. It improves insulin sensitivity and delays the age-related loss of dopamine receptor D(2) (DRD2) expression in the brain. Conversely, high-fat feeding is associated with obesity, insulin resistance and a reduced number of DRD2 binding sites. We hypothesised that the metabolic benefit of calorie restriction involves the preservation of appropriate DRD2 transmission. The food intake of wild-type C57Bl6 male mice was restricted to 60% of ad lib. intake while they were treated with the DRD2 antagonist haloperidol or vehicle using s.c. implanted pellets. Mice with ad lib. access to food receiving vehicle treatment served as controls. All mice received high-fat food throughout the experiment. After 10 weeks, an i.p. glucose tolerance test was performed and, after 12 weeks, a hyperinsulinaemic euglycaemic clamp. Hypothalamic DRD2 binding was also determined after 12 weeks of treatment. Calorie-restricted (CR) vehicle mice were glucose tolerant and insulin sensitive compared to ad lib. (AL) fed vehicle mice. CR mice treated with haloperidol were slightly heavier than vehicle treated CR mice. Haloperidol completely abolished the beneficial impact of calorie restriction on glucose tolerance and partly reduced the insulin sensitivity observed in CR vehicle mice. The metabolic differences between AL and CR vehicle mice were not accompanied by alterations in hypothalamic DRD2 binding. In conclusion, blocking DRD2 curtails the metabolic effects of calorie restriction. Although this suggests that the dopaminergic system could be involved in the metabolic benefits of calorie restriction, restricting access to high-fat food does not increase (hypothalamic) DRD2 binding capacity, which argues against this inference.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Many of the metabolic benefits of Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) occur before weight loss. In this study we investigated the influence of caloric restriction on the improvements in the metabolic responses that occur within the 1st week after RYGB. RESEARCH METHODS AND DESIGN: A mixed meal was administered to nine subjects before and after RYGB (average 4 +/- 0.5 days) and to nine matched, obese subjects before and after 4 days of the post-RYGB diet. RESULTS Weight loss in both groups was minimal; the RYGB subjects lost 1.4 +/- 5.3 kg (P = 0.46) vs. 2.2 +/- 1.0 kg (P = 0.004) in the calorically restricted group. Insulin resistance (homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance) improved with both RYGB (5.0 +/- 3.1 to 3.3 +/- 2.1; P = 0.03) and caloric restriction (4.8 +/- 4.1 to 3.6 +/- 4.1; P = 0.004). The insulin response to a mixed meal was blunted in both the RYGB and caloric restriction groups (113 +/- 67 to 65 +/- 33 and 85 +/- 59 to 65 +/- 56 nmol x l(-1) x min(-1), respectively; P < 0.05) without a change in the glucose response. Glucagon-like peptide 1 levels increased (9.2 +/- 8.6 to 12.2 +/- 5.5 pg x l(-1) x min(-1); P = 0.04) and peaked higher (45.2 +/- 37.3 to 84.8 +/- 33.0 pg/ml; P = 0.01) in response to a mixed meal after RYGB, but incretin responses were not altered after caloric restriction. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that an improvement in insulin resistance in the 1st week after RYGB is primarily due to caloric restriction, and the enhanced incretin response after RYGB does not improve postprandial glucose homeostasis during this time.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS We determined the effects of acute and chronic calorie restriction with either a low-fat, high-carbohydrate (HC) diet or a low-carbohydrate (LC) diet on hepatic and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. METHODS Twenty-two obese subjects (body mass index, 36.5 +/- 0.8 kg/m2) were randomized to an HC (>180 g/day) or LC (<50 g/day) energy-deficit diet. A euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, muscle biopsy specimens, and magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to determine insulin action, cellular insulin signaling, and intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) content before, after 48 hours, and after approximately 11 weeks (7% weight loss) of diet therapy. RESULTS At 48 hours, IHTG content decreased more in the LC than the HC diet group (29.6% +/- 4.8% vs 8.9% +/- 1.4%; P < .05) but was similar in both groups after 7% weight loss (LC diet, 38.0% +/- 4.5%; HC diet, 44.5% +/- 13.5%). Basal glucose production rate decreased more in the LC than the HC diet group at 48 hours (23.4% +/- 2.2% vs 7.2% +/- 1.4%; P < .05) and after 7% weight loss (20.0% +/- 2.4% vs 7.9% +/- 1.2%; P < .05). Insulin-mediated glucose uptake did not change at 48 hours but increased similarly in both groups after 7% weight loss (48.4% +/- 14.3%; P < .05). In both groups, insulin-stimulated phosphorylation of c-Jun-N-terminal kinase decreased by 29% +/- 13% and phosphorylation of Akt and insulin receptor substrate 1 increased by 35% +/- 9% and 36% +/- 9%, respectively, after 7% weight loss (all P < .05). CONCLUSIONS Moderate calorie restriction causes temporal changes in liver and skeletal muscle metabolism; 48 hours of calorie restriction affects the liver (IHTG content, hepatic insulin sensitivity, and glucose production), whereas moderate weight loss affects muscle (insulin-mediated glucose uptake and insulin signaling).

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Weight loss has been shown to decrease liver fat content and whole-body insulin resistance. The current study was conducted to investigate the simultaneous effects of rapid weight reduction with a very-low-calorie diet on liver glucose and fatty acid metabolism and liver adiposity. HYPOTHESIS We hypothesized that liver insulin resistance and free fatty acid uptake would decrease after weight loss and that they are associated with reduction of liver fat content. DESIGN Thirty-four healthy obese subjects (body mass index, 33.7 +/- 8.0 kg/m(2)) were studied before and after a very-low-calorie diet for 6 wk. Hepatic glucose uptake and endogenous glucose production were measured with [(18)F]fluorodeoxyglucose during hyperinsulinemic euglycemia and fasting hepatic fatty acid uptake with [(18)F]fluoro-6-thia-heptadecanoic acid and positron emission tomography. Liver volume and fat content were measured using magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy. RESULTS Subjects lost weight (11.2 +/- 2.9 kg; P < 0.0001). Liver volume decreased by 11% (P < 0.002), which was partly explained by decreased liver fat content (P < 0.0001). Liver free fatty acid uptake was 26% lower after weight loss (P < 0.003) and correlated with the decrement in liver fat content (r = 0.54; P < 0.03). Hepatic glucose uptake during insulin stimulation was unchanged, but the endogenous glucose production decreased by 40% (P < 0.04), and hepatic insulin resistance by 40% (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS The liver responds to a 6-wk period of calorie restriction with a parallel reduction in lipid uptake and storage, accompanied by enhancement of hepatic insulin sensitivity and clearance.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Both energy restriction (ER) per se and weight loss improve glucose metabolism in obese insulin-treated type 2 diabetic patients. Short-term ER decreases basal endogenous glucose production (EGP) but not glucose disposal. In contrast the blood glucose-lowering mechanism of long-term ER with substantial weight loss has not been fully elucidated. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of loss of 50% of excess weight [50% excess weight reduction (EWR)] on EGP, whole-body insulin sensitivity and the disturbed myocellular insulin-signalling pathway in ten obese insulin-treated type 2 diabetic patients. METHODS A euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic clamp with stable isotopes ([6,6-(2)H2]glucose and [2H5]glycerol) combined with skeletal muscle biopsies was performed during a very low energy diet (VLED; 1,883 kJ/day) on day 2 and again after 50% EWR. Oral blood glucose-lowering agents and insulin were discontinued 3 weeks prior to the VLED and at the start of the VLED, respectively. RESULTS Loss of 50% EWR (20.3+/-2.2 kg from day 2 to day of 50% EWR) normalised basal EGP and improved insulin sensitivity, especially insulin-stimulated glucose disposal (18.8+/-2.0 to 39.1+/-2.8 micromol kg fat-free mass(-1) min(-1), p=0.001). The latter was accompanied by improved insulin signalling at the level of the recently discovered protein kinase B/Akt substrates AS160 and PRAS40 along with a decrease in intramyocellular lipid (IMCL) content. CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Considerable weight loss in obese, insulin-treated type 2 diabetic patients normalises basal EGP and improves insulin sensitivity resulting from an improvement in insulin signal transduction in skeletal muscle. The decrease in IMCL might contribute to this effect.

Abstract
Eighteen insulin-treated obese type 2 diabetic patients were followed for 18 months after they followed a 30-day very low calorie diet (VLCD, 450kCal/day) with the cessation of all glucose-lowering medication. After the 30-day VLCD, caloric intake was slowly increased to eucaloric and glucose-lowering medication was restarted if necessary. On day 0 and 30 of the VLCD and after 18 months follow-up, bodyweight, blood-pressure, glycaemic control and lipid levels were measured. The 30-day VLCD significantly reduced bodyweight (-11.7+/-0.7kg, mean+/-S.E.M.) and improved dyslipidaemia, hypertension and glycaemia. As a group, this effect was sustained at 18 months follow-up despite the fact that patients used less lipid-, blood-pressure- and glucose-lowering medication. Especially, the use of insulin was significantly reduced: 18 out of 18 patients on day 0 (mean 137+/-22units/day); 5 out of 18 patients at 18 months (86+/-14units/day). Patients using insulin at 18 months had regained weight to prediet levels, but still had a better cardiovascular risk profile compared with before the dietary intervention. Thus, a once-only 30-day VLCD leads to a sustained improvement in glycaemia, dyslipidaemia and blood-pressure up to 18 months follow-up in obese type 2 diabetic patients, even, although to a lesser extent, in patients who regained body-weight.

Abstract
Clinical insulin resistance is associated with decreased activation of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase (PI3K) and its downstream substrate protein kinase B (PKB)/Akt. However, its physiological protein substrates remain poorly characterized. In the present study, the effect of in vivo insulin action on phosphorylation of the PKB/Akt substrate 40 (PRAS40) was examined. In rat and mice, insulin stimulated PRAS40-Thr246 phosphorylation in skeletal and cardiac muscle, the liver, and adipose tissue in vivo. Physiological hyperinsulinemia increased PRAS40-Thr246 phosphorylation in human skeletal muscle biopsies. In cultured cell lines, insulin-mediated PRAS40 phosphorylation was prevented by the PI3K inhibitors wortmannin and LY294002. Immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence studies showed that phosphorylated PRAS40 is predominantly localized to the nucleus. Finally, in rats fed a high-fat diet (HFD), phosphorylation of PRAS40 was markedly reduced compared with low-fat diet-fed animals in all tissues examined. In conclusion, the current study identifies PRAS40 as a physiological target of in vivo insulin action. Phosphorylation of PRAS40 is increased by insulin in human, rat, and mouse insulin target tissues. In rats, this response is reduced under conditions of HFD-induced insulin resistance.

Abstract
Currently, there are no data in the literature regarding the pathophysiological mechanisms involved in the rapid resolution of type 2 diabetes after bariatric surgery, which was reported as an additional benefit of the surgical treatment for morbid obesity. With this question in mind, insulin sensitivity, using euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp, and insulin secretion, by the C-peptide deconvolution method after an oral glucose load, together with the circulating levels of intestinal incretins and adipocytokines, have been studied in 10 diabetic morbidly obese subjects before and shortly after biliopancreatic diversion (BPD) to avoid the weight loss interference. Diabetes disappeared 1 week after BPD, while insulin sensitivity (32.96 +/- 4.3 to 65.73 +/- 3.22 mumol . kg fat-free mass(-1) . min(-1) at 1 week and to 64.73 +/- 3.42 mumol . kg fat-free mass(-1) . min(-1) at 4 weeks; P < 0.0001) was fully normalized. Fasting insulin secretion rate (148.16 +/- 20.07 to 70.0.2 +/- 8.14 and 83.24 +/- 8.28 pmol/min per m(2); P < 0.01) and total insulin output (43.76 +/- 4.07 to 25.48 +/- 1.69 and 30.50 +/- 4.71 nmol/m(2); P < 0.05) dramatically decreased, while a significant improvement in beta-cell glucose sensitivity was observed. Both fasting and glucose-stimulated gastrointestinal polypeptide (13.40 +/- 1.99 to 6.58 +/- 1.72 pmol/l at 1 week and 5.83 +/- 0.80 pmol/l at 4 weeks) significantly (P < 0.001) decreased, while glucagon-like peptide 1 significantly increased (1.75 +/- 0.16 to 3.42 +/- 0.41 pmol/l at 1 week and 3.62 +/- 0.21 pmol/l at 4 weeks; P < 0.001). BPD determines a prompt reversibility of type 2 diabetes by normalizing peripheral insulin sensitivity and enhancing beta-cell sensitivity to glucose, these changes occurring very early after the operation. This operation may affect the enteroinsular axis function by diverting nutrients away from the proximal gastrointestinal tract and by delivering incompletely digested nutrients to the ileum.

Effect of a 2-day very low-energy diet on skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity in obese type 2 diabetic patients on insulin therapy. Metabolism 2005; 54:1669-78. [PMID: 16311102 DOI: 10.1016/j.metabol.2005.06.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/08/2005] [Accepted: 06/30/2005] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
This study investigates the molecular mechanisms underlying the blood glucose-lowering effect of a 2-day very low-energy diet (VLED, 1883 kJ/d) in 12 obese (body mass index, 36.3 +/- 1.0 kg/m2 [mean +/- SEM]) type 2 diabetic (HbA(1C) 7.3% +/- 0.4%) patients simultaneously taken off all glucose-lowering therapy, including insulin. Endogenous glucose production (EGP) and glucose disposal ([6,6-2H2]-glucose) were measured before and after the VLED in basal and hyperinsulinemic (40 mU/m2 per minute) euglycemic conditions. Insulin signaling and expression of GLUT-4, FAT/CD36, and triglycerides were assessed in muscle biopsies, obtained before the clamp and after 30 minutes of hyperinsulinemia. Fasting plasma glucose decreased from 11.3 +/- 1.3 to 10.3 +/- 1.0 mmol/L because of a decreased basal EGP (14.2 +/- 1.0 to 11.9 +/- 0.7 micromol/kg per minute, P = .009). Insulin-stimulated glucose disposal did not change. No diet effect was found on the expression of the insulin receptor and insulin receptor substrate-1 or on phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase activity, or on FAT/CD36 expression pattern, GLUT-4 translocation, or triglyceride distribution in either the basal or insulin-stimulated situation. Unexpectedly, basal PKB/Akt phosphorylation on T308 and S473 increased after the diet, at equal protein expression. In conclusion, a 2-day VLED lowers fasting plasma glucose via a decreased basal EGP without an effect on glucose disposal. Accordingly, no changes in activation of phosphatidylinositol 3'-kinase, triglyceride distribution, FAT/CD36 expression, and GLUT-4 translocation were found in skeletal muscle biopsies.
