Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Diabetic vascular complication is a leading cause of disability and mortality in diabetes patients. Low molecular weight fucoidan (LMWF) is a promising drug candidate for vascular complications. Glycocalyx injury predates the occurrence of diabetes vascular complications. Protecting glycocalyx from degradation relieves diabetic vascular complications. LMWF has the potential to protect the diabetes endothelial glycocalyx from shedding. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH The protective effect of LMWF on diabetic glycocalyx damage was investigated in db/db mice and Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells (HUVEC) through transmission electron microscopy and WGA labelling. The effect of LMWF on glycocalyx degrading enzymes expression was investigated. Neuraminidase2 (NEU2) overexpression/knockdown was performed in HUVECs to verify the important role of NEU2 in glycocalyx homeostasis. The interaction between NEU2 and LMWF was detected by ELISA and surface plasmon resonance analysis (SPR). KEY RESULTS LMWF normalizes blood indexes including insulin, triglyceride, uric acid and reduces diabetes complications adverse events. LMWF alleviates diabetic endothelial glycocalyx damage in db/db mice kidney/aorta and high concentration glucose treated HUVECs. NEU2 is up-regulated in db/db mice and HUVECs with high concentration glucose. Overexpression/knockdown NEU2 results in glycocalyx shedding in HUVEC. Down-regulation and interaction of LMWF with NEU2 is a new therapy target in glycocalyx homeostasis. NEU2 was positively correlated with phosphorylated IR-β. CONCLUSION AND IMPLICATIONS NEU2 is an effective target for glycocalyx homeostasis and LMWF is a promising drug to alleviate vascular complications in diabetes by protecting endothelial glycocalyx.

Cardiometabolic profiles and proteomics associated with obesity phenotypes in a longitudinal cohort of young adults. Sci Rep 2024; 14:7384. [PMID: 38548792 PMCID: PMC10978904 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-024-57751-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/16/2023] [Accepted: 03/21/2024] [Indexed: 04/01/2024] Open
Abstract
To assess cardiometabolic profiles and proteomics to identify biomarkers associated with the metabolically healthy and unhealthy obesity. Young adults (N = 156) enrolled were classified as not having obesity, metabolically healthy obesity (MHO) and metabolically unhealthy obesity (MUHO) based on NCEP ATP-III criteria. Plasma proteomics at study entry were measured using Olink Cardiometabolic Explore panel. Linear regression was used to assess associations between proteomics and obesity groups as well as cardiometabolic traits of glucose, insulin, and lipid profiles at baseline and follow-up visits. Enriched biological pathways were further identified based on the significant proteomic features. Among the baseline 95 (61%) and 61 (39%) participants classified as not having obesity and having obesity (8 MHO and 53 MUHO), respectively. Eighty of the participants were followed-up with an average 4.6 years. Forty-one proteins were associated with obesity (FDR < 0.05), 29 of which had strong associations with insulin-related traits and lipid profiles (FDR < 0.05). Inflammation, immunomodulation, extracellular matrix remodeling and endoplasmic reticulum lumen functions were enriched by 40 proteins. In this study population, obesity and MHO were associated with insulin resistance and dysregulated lipid profiles. The underlying mechanism included elevated inflammation and deteriorated extracellular matrix remodeling function.

Reduced Insulin Clearance Differently Relates to Increased Liver Lipid Content and Worse Glycemic Control in Recent-Onset Type 2 and Type 1 Diabetes. Diabetes Care 2023; 46:2232-2239. [PMID: 37874983 DOI: 10.2337/dc23-1267] [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: 07/09/2023] [Accepted: 09/15/2023] [Indexed: 10/26/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Diabetes may feature impaired insulin kinetics, which could be aggravated by altered hepatic metabolism and glycemic control. Thus, we examined insulin clearance and its possible determinants in individuals with recent-onset diabetes. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Participants of the German Diabetes Study (GDS) with type 1 diabetes (T1D) (n = 306), type 2 diabetes (T2D) (n = 489), or normal glucose tolerance (control [CON]) (n = 167) underwent hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps for assessment of whole-body insulin sensitivity (M value) and insulin clearance (ICCLAMP). Insulin clearance rates were further calculated during intravenous glucose tolerance tests (ICIVGTT) and mixed-meal tests (ICMMT). Hepatocellular lipid content (HCL) was quantified with 1H-MRS. RESULTS Both T1D and T2D groups had lower ICCLAMP (0.12 ± 0.07 and 0.21 ± 0.06 vs. 0.28 ± 0.14 arbitrary units [a.u.], respectively, all P < 0.05) and ICMMT (0.71 ± 0.35 and 0.99 ± 0.33 vs. 1.20 ± 0.36 a.u., all P < 0.05) than CON. In T1D, ICCLAMP, ICIVGTT, and ICMMT correlated negatively with HbA1c (all P < 0.05). M value correlated positively with ICIVGTT in CON and T2D (r = 0.199 and r = 0.178, P < 0.05) and with ICMMT in CON (r = 0.176, P < 0.05). HCL negatively associated with ICIVGTT and ICMMT in T2D (r = -0.005 and r = -0.037) and CON (r = -0.127 and r = -0.058, all P < 0.05). In line, T2D or CON subjects with steatosis featured lower ICMMT than those without steatosis (both P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS Insulin clearance is reduced in both T1D and T2D within the first year after diagnosis but correlates negatively with liver lipid content rather in T2D. Moreover, insulin clearance differently associates with glycemic control and insulin sensitivity in each diabetes type, which may suggest specific mechanisms affecting insulin kinetics.

Long-Term High-Fat Diet Decreases Renal Insulin-Degrading Enzyme Expression and Function by Inhibiting the PPARγ Pathway. Mol Nutr Food Res 2023; 67:e2200589.

Abstract
SCOPE Long-term high-fat diet (HFD) causes insulin resistance, which is a primary etiological factor in the development of obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Impaired insulin clearance is not only a consequence but also a cause of insulin resistance. The kidney is a major site of insulin clearance, where the insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) plays a vital role in the proximal tubule. Thus, the study investigates the role of renal IDE in the regulation of insulin resistance in HFD-induced obese mice. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty four-weeks of HFD in C57BL/6 mice causes insulin resistance and impaires insulin clearance, accompanied by a decrease in renal IDE expression and activity. Palmitic acid decreases IDE mRNA and protein expressions in HK-2 cells. RNA-Seq analysis found that the PPAR pathway is involved. 24-weeks of HFD decreases renal PPARγ, but not PPARα or PPARβ/δ mRNA expression. The inhibition of IDE expression by palmitic acid is prevented by the PPARγ agonist rosiglitazone. The amount of PPARγ bound to the promoters of IDE is decreased in palmitic acid-treated cells. Rosiglitazone improves insulin clearance and insulin resistance and increases renal IDE expression in HFD fed-mice. CONCLUSION Long-term HFD decreases renal IDE expression and activity, and causes insulin resistance, which involves PPARγ.

Abstract
Insulin action is impaired in type 2 diabetes. The functions of the hormone are an integrated product of insulin secretion from pancreatic β-cells and insulin clearance by receptor-mediated endocytosis and degradation, mostly in liver (hepatocytes) and, to a lower extent, in extrahepatic peripheral tissues. Substantial evidence indicates that genetic or acquired abnormalities of insulin secretion or action predispose to type 2 diabetes. In recent years, along with the discovery of the molecular foundation of receptor-mediated insulin clearance, such as through the membrane glycoprotein CEACAM1, a consensus has begun to emerge that reduction of insulin clearance contributes to the disease process. In this review, we consider the evidence suggesting a pathogenic role for reduced insulin clearance in insulin resistance, obesity, hepatic steatosis, and type 2 diabetes.

Sleeve Gastrectomy-Induced Weight Loss Increases Insulin Clearance in Obese Mice. Int J Mol Sci 2023; 24:ijms24021729. [PMID: 36675244 PMCID: PMC9861800 DOI: 10.3390/ijms24021729] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2022] [Revised: 01/06/2023] [Accepted: 01/07/2023] [Indexed: 01/18/2023] Open
Abstract
Sleeve gastrectomy (SG) successfully recovers metabolic homeostasis in obese humans and rodents while also resulting in the normalization of insulin sensitivity and insulinemia. Reduced insulin levels have been attributed to lower insulin secretion and increased insulin clearance in individuals submitted to SG. Insulin degradation mainly occurs in the liver in a process controlled, at least in part, by the insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE). However, research has yet to explore whether liver IDE expression or activity is altered after SG surgery. In this study, C57BL/6 mice were fed a chow (CTL) or high-fat diet (HFD) for 10 weeks. Afterward, the HFD mice were randomly assigned to two groups: sham-surgical (HFD-SHAM) and SG-surgical (HFD-SG). Here, we confirmed that SG improves glucose-insulin homeostasis in obese mice. Additionally, SG reduced insulinemia by reducing insulin secretion, assessed by the analysis of plasmatic C-peptide content, and increasing insulin clearance, which was evaluated through the calculation of the plasmatic C-peptide:insulin ratio. Although no changes in hepatic IDE activity were observed, IDE expression was higher in the liver of HFD-SG compared with HFD-SHAM mice. These results indicate that SG may be helpful to counteract obesity-induced hyperinsulinemia by increasing insulin clearance, likely through enhanced liver IDE expression.

Abstract
Insulin stores lipid in adipocytes and prevents lipolysis and the release of non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA). Excessive release of NEFA during sustained energy supply and increase in abdominal adiposity trigger systemic insulin resistance, including in the liver, a major site of insulin clearance. This causes a reduction in insulin clearance as a compensatory mechanism to insulin resistance in obesity. On the other hand, reduced insulin clearance in the liver can cause chronic hyperinsulinemia, followed by downregulation of insulin receptor and insulin resistance. Delineating the cause–effect relationship between reduced insulin clearance and insulin resistance has been complicated by the fact that insulin action and clearance are mechanistically linked to insulin binding to its receptors. This review discusses how NEFA mobilization contributes to the reciprocal relationship between insulin resistance and reduced hepatic insulin clearance, and how this may be implicated in the pathogenesis of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Kidney insulin clearance, proposed to be the main route of extra-hepatic insulin clearance, occurs in tubular cells following glomerular filtration and peritubular uptake, a process that may be impaired in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and/or impaired kidney function. Human studies that investigated kidney insulin clearance are limited by the invasive nature of the measurement. Instead, we evaluated relationships between whole-body insulin clearance, and gold-standard measured kidney function and insulin sensitivity in adults with T2D and normal kidney function. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We determined insulin, inulin/iohexol and para-aminohippuric acid (PAH) clearances during a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp to measure whole-body insulin clearance and kidney function. Insulin sensitivity was expressed by glucose infusion rate (M value). Associations between whole-body insulin clearance, kidney function and insulin sensitivity were examined using univariable and multivariable linear regressions models. RESULTS We investigated 44 predominantly male (77%) T2D adults aged 63 ± 7, with fat mass 34.5 ± 9 kg, lean body mass 63.0 ± 11.8 kg, and HbA1c 7.4 ± 0.6%. Average whole-body insulin clearance was 1188 ± 358 mL/min. Mean GFR was 110 ± 22 mL/min, mean ERPF 565 ± 141 mL/min, and M value averaged 3.9 ± 2.3 mg/min. Whole-body insulin clearance was positively correlated with lean body mass, ERPF and insulin sensitivity, but not with GFR. ERPF explained 6% of the variance when entered in a nested multivariable linear regression model op top of lean body mass (25%) and insulin sensitivity (15%). CONCLUSIONS In adults with T2D and normal kidney function, whole-body insulin clearance was predicted best by lean body mass and insulin sensitivity, and to a lesser extent by ERPF. GFR was not associated with whole-body insulin clearance. In contrast to prior understanding, this suggests that in this population kidney insulin clearance may not play such a dominant role in whole-body insulin clearance.

Abstract
AIMS Despite a higher prevalence of overweight/obesity in Black South African women compared to men, the prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) does not differ. We explored if this could be due to sex differences in insulin sensitivity, clearance and/or beta-cell function and also sex-specific associations with total and regional adiposity. METHODS This cross-sectional study included 804 Black South African men (n = 388) and women (n = 416). Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure total and regional adiposity. Insulin sensitivity (Matsuda index), secretion (C-peptide index) and clearance (C-peptide/insulin ratio) were estimated from an oral glucose tolerance test. RESULTS After adjusting for sex differences in the fat mass index, men were less insulin sensitive and had lower beta-cell function than women (P < 0.001), with the strength of the associations with measures of total and central adiposity being greater in men than women (P < 0.001 for interactions). Further, the association between total adiposity and T2D risk was also greater in men than women (relative risk ratio (95% CI): 2.05 (1.42-2.96), P < 0.001 vs 1.38 (1.03-1.85), P = 0.031). CONCLUSION With increasing adiposity, particularly increased centralisation of body fat linked to decreased insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function, Black African men are at greater risk for T2D than their female counterparts.

Exploring the determinants of ethnic differences in insulin clearance between men of Black African and White European ethnicity. Acta Diabetol 2022; 59:329-337.

Abstract
AIM People of Black African ancestry, who are known to be at disproportionately high risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D), typically exhibit lower hepatic insulin clearance compared with White Europeans. However, the mechanisms underlying this metabolic characteristic are poorly understood. We explored whether low insulin clearance in Black African (BA) men could be explained by insulin resistance, subclinical inflammation or adiponectin concentrations. METHODS BA and White European (WE) men, categorised as either normal glucose tolerant (NGT) or with T2D, were recruited to undergo the following: a mixed meal tolerance test with C-peptide modelling to determine endogenous insulin clearance; fasting serum adiponectin and cytokine profiles; a hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp to measure whole-body insulin sensitivity; and magnetic resonance imaging to quantify visceral adipose tissue. RESULTS Forty BA (20 NGT and 20 T2D) and 41 WE (23 NGT and 18 T2D) men were studied. BA men had significantly lower insulin clearance (P = 0.011) and lower plasma adiponectin (P = 0.031) compared with WE men. In multiple regression analysis, ethnicity, insulin sensitivity and plasma adiponectin were independent predictors of insulin clearance, while age, visceral adiposity and tumour necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) did not significantly contribute to the variation. CONCLUSION These data suggest that adiponectin may play a direct role in the upregulation of insulin clearance beyond its insulin-sensitising properties.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Accumulation of advanced glycation endproducts (AGEs) may contribute to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes and its vascular complications. AGEs are widely present in food, but whether restricting AGE intake improves risk factors for type 2 diabetes and vascular dysfunction is controversial. METHODS Abdominally obese but otherwise healthy individuals were randomly assigned to a specifically designed 4-week diet low or high in AGEs in a double-blind, parallel design. Insulin sensitivity, secretion, and clearance were assessed by a combined hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic and hyperglycemic clamp. Micro- and macrovascular function, inflammation, and lipid profiles were assessed by state-of-the-art in vivo measurements and biomarkers. Specific urinary and plasma AGEs Nε-(carboxymethyl)lysine (CML), Nε-(1-carboxyethyl)lysine (CEL), and Nδ-(5-hydro-5-methyl-4-imidazolon-2-yl)-ornithine (MG-H1) were assessed by mass spectrometry. RESULTS In 73 individuals (22 males, mean ± SD age and BMI 52 ± 14 years, 30.6 ± 4.0 kg/m2), intake of CML, CEL, and MG-H1 differed 2.7-, 5.3-, and 3.7-fold between the low- and high-AGE diets, leading to corresponding changes of these AGEs in urine and plasma. Despite this, there was no difference in insulin sensitivity, secretion, or clearance; micro- and macrovascular function; overall inflammation; or lipid profile between the low and high dietary AGE groups (for all treatment effects, P > 0.05). CONCLUSION This comprehensive RCT demonstrates very limited biological consequences of a 4-week diet low or high in AGEs in abdominally obese individuals.

Impaired Insulin Clearance as the Initial Regulator of Obesity-Associated Hyperinsulinemia: Novel Insight Into the Underlying Mechanism Based on Serum Bile Acid Profiles. Diabetes Care 2022; 45:425-435. [PMID: 34880066 DOI: 10.2337/dc21-1023] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/12/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 02/03/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the roles of insulin clearance and insulin secretion in the development of hyperinsulinemia in obese subjects and to reveal the association between insulin clearance and bile acids (BAs). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In cohort 1, insulin secretion, sensitivity, and endogenous insulin clearance were evaluated with an oral glucose tolerance test in 460 recruited participants. In cohort 2, 81 participants underwent an intravenous glucose tolerance test and a hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp to assess insulin secretion, endogenous and exogenous insulin clearance, and insulin sensitivity. Based on insulin resistance levels ranging from mild to severe, obese participants without diabetes were further divided into 10 quantiles in cohort 1 and into tertiles in cohort 2. Forty serum BAs were measured in cohort 2 to examine the association between BAs and insulin clearance. RESULTS All obese participants had impaired insulin clearance, and it worsened with additional insulin resistance in obese subjects without diabetes. However, insulin secretion was unchanged from quantile 1 to 3 in cohort 1, and no difference was found in cohort 2. After adjustments for all confounding factors, serum-conjugated BAs, especially glycodeoxycholic acid (GDCA; β = -0.335, P = 0.004) and taurodeoxycholic acid (TDCA; β = -0.333, P = 0.003), were negatively correlated with insulin clearance. The ratio of unconjugated to conjugated BAs (β = 0.335, P = 0.002) was positively correlated with insulin clearance. CONCLUSIONS Hyperinsulinemia in obese subjects might be primarily induced by decreased insulin clearance rather than increased insulin secretion. Changes in circulating conjugated BAs, especially GDCA and TDCA, might play an important role in regulating insulin clearance.

Abstract
Cephalic phase insulin release (CPIR) is a transient pulse of insulin that occurs within minutes of stimulation from foods or food-related stimuli. Despite decades of research on CPIR in humans, the body of literature surrounding this phenomenon is controversial due in part to contradictory findings . This has slowed progress towards understanding the sensory and neural basis of CPIR, as well as its overall relevance to health. This review examines up-to-date knowledge in CPIR research and identifies sources of CPIR variability in humans in an effort to guide future research. The review starts by defining CPIR and discussing its presumed functional roles in glucose homeostasis and feeding behavior. Next, the types of stimuli that have been reported to elicit CPIR, as well as the sensory and neural mechanisms underlying the response in rodents and humans are discussed, and areas where knowledge is limited are identified. Finally, factors that may contribute to the observed variability of CPIR in humans are examined, including experimental design, test procedure, and individual characteristics. Overall, oral stimulation appears to be important for eliciting CPIR, especially when combined with other sensory modalities (vision, olfaction, somatosensation). While differences in experimental design and testing procedure likely explain some of the observed inter- and intra-study variability, individual differences also appear to play an important role. Understanding sources of these individual differences in CPIR will be key for establishing its health relevance.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Endogenous insulin clearance (EIC) is physiologically reduced at increasing insulin secretion rate (ISR). Computing EIC at the prevailing ISR does not distinguish the effects of hypersecretion from those of other mechanisms of glucose homeostasis. We aimed to measure EIC in standardized ISR conditions (i.e., at fixed ISR levels) and to analyze its associations with relevant physiologic factors. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We estimated standardized EIC (EICISR) by mathematical modeling in nine different studies with insulin and glucose infusions (N = 2,067). EICISR association with various traits was analyzed by stepwise multivariable regression in studies with both euglycemic clamp and oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (N = 1,410). We also tested whether oral glucose ingestion, as opposed to intravenous infusion, has an independent effect on EIC (N = 1,555). RESULTS Insulin sensitivity (as M/I from the euglycemic clamp) is the strongest determinant of EICISR, approximately four times more influential than insulin resistance-related hypersecretion. EICISR independently associates positively with M/I, fasting and mean OGTT glucose or type 2 diabetes, and β-cell glucose sensitivity and negatively with African American or Hispanic race, female sex, and female age. With oral glucose ingestion, an ISR-independent ∼10% EIC reduction is necessary to explain the observed insulin concentration profiles. CONCLUSIONS Based on EICISR, we posit the existence of two adaptive processes involving insulin clearance: the first reduces EICISR with insulin resistance (not with higher BMI per se) and is more relevant than the concomitant hypersecretion; the second reduces EICISR with β-cell dysfunction. These processes are dysregulated in type 2 diabetes. Finally, oral glucose ingestion per se reduces insulin clearance.

Abstract
Insulin resistance and insufficient insulin secretion are well-recognized contributors to type 2 diabetes. A potential role of reduced insulin clearance has been suggested, but few studies have investigated the contribution of insulin clearance while simultaneously examining decreased insulin sensitivity and secretion. The goal of this study was to conduct such an investigation in a cohort of 353 non-Hispanic White and African American individuals recruited in the Microbiome and Insulin Longitudinal Evaluation Study (MILES). Participants underwent oral glucose tolerance tests from which insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion, insulin clearance, and disposition index were calculated. Regression models examined the individual and joint contributions of these traits to early dysglycemia (prediabetes or newly diagnosed diabetes). In separate models, reduced insulin sensitivity, reduced disposition index, and reduced insulin clearance were associated with dysglycemia. In a joint model, only insulin resistance and reduced insulin secretion were associated with dysglycemia. Models with insulin sensitivity, disposition index, or three insulin traits had the highest discriminative value for dysglycemia (area under the receiver operating characteristics curve of 0.82 to 0.89). These results suggest that in the race groups studied, insulin resistance and compromised insulin secretion are the main independent underlying defects leading to early dysglycemia.

Abstract
Systemic insulin availability is determined by a balance between beta-cell secretion capacity and insulin clearance (IC). Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is involved in the intracellular mechanisms underlying IC. The liver is a major player in IC control yet the role of hepatic IDE in glucose and lipid homeostasis remains unexplored. We hypothesized that IDE governs postprandial IC and hepatic IDE dysfunction amplifies dysmetabolic responses and prediabetes traits such as hepatic steatosis. In a European/Portuguese population-based cohort, IDE SNPs were strongly associated with postprandial IC in normoglycemic men but to a considerably lesser extent in women or in subjects with prediabetes. Liver-specific knockout-mice (LS-IDE KO) under normal chow diet (NCD), showed reduced postprandial IC with glucose intolerance and under high fat diet (HFD) were more susceptible to hepatic steatosis than control mice. This suggests that regulation of IC by IDE contributes to liver metabolic resilience. In agreement, LS-IDE KO hepatocytes revealed reduction of Glut2 expression levels with consequent impairment of glucose uptake and upregulation of CD36, a major hepatic free fatty acid transporter. Together these findings provide strong evidence that dysfunctional IC due to abnormal IDE regulation directly impairs postprandial hepatic glucose disposal and increases susceptibility to dysmetabolic conditions in the setting of Western diet/lifestyle.

Abstract
AIMS/HYPOTHESIS Impaired insulin clearance is implicated in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes, but prospective evidence remains limited. Therefore, we sought to identify factors associated with the metabolic clearance rate of insulin (MCRI) and to investigate whether lower MCRI is associated with increased risk of incident type 2 diabetes. METHODS From a longitudinal cohort, 570 adult Native Americans without diabetes living in the Southwestern United States were characterised at baseline and 448 participants were monitored over a median follow-up period of 7.9 years with 146 (32%) incident cases of diabetes identified (fasting plasma glucose ≥7.0 mmol/l, 2 h plasma glucose [2-h PG] ≥11.1 mmol/l, or clinical diagnosis). At baseline, participants underwent dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry or hydrodensitometry to assess body composition, a 75 g OGTT, an IVGTT to assess acute insulin response (AIR), and a hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp to assess MCRI and insulin action (M). RESULTS In adjusted linear models, MCRI was inversely associated with body fat percentage (r = -0.35), fasting plasma insulin (r = -0.55) and AIR (r = -0.22), and positively associated with M (r = 0.17; all p < 0.0001). In multivariable Cox proportional hazard models, lower MCRI was associated with an increased risk of diabetes after adjustment for age, sex, heritage, body fat percentage, AIR, M, fasting plasma glucose, 2-h PG, and fasting plasma insulin (HR per one-SD difference in MCRI: 0.77; 95% CI 0.61, 0.98; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS/INTERPRETATION Lower MCRI is associated with an unfavourable metabolic phenotype and is associated with incident type 2 diabetes independent of established risk factors.

Abstract
Melatonin regulates circadian rhythm, but may also have effects on glucose homeostasis. A common G-allele in the MTNR1B locus has been associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes (T2DM). We aimed to examine acute effects of high doses of melatonin on glucose metabolism with attention to MTNR1B genotype. Twenty men were examined in a double-blinded, randomized crossover study on two nonconsecutive days with four doses of 10 mg oral melatonin or placebo. Insulin sensitivity and insulin secretion were assessed by an intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) and a hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp (HEC). Blood samples were drawn to determine the metabolic profile and MTNR1B rs10830963 genotype. Indirect calorimetry and blood pressure measurements were also performed. Insulin sensitivity index was significantly reduced on the melatonin day (P = .028) in the whole group and in homozygous carriers of the rs10830963 C-allele (P = .041). Glucose during the IVGTT was unaffected, but there was a tendency towards lower insulin and C-peptide levels in the first minutes after glucose administration in G-allele carriers. Systolic blood pressure decreased and lipid oxidation increased significantly on the melatonin day in rs10830963 G-allele carriers. Overall, our study reports that acute administration of melatonin in supra-physiological doses may have a negative impact on insulin sensitivity. Clinical trial registration number (clinicaltrial.gov): NCT03204877.

Abstract
Hepatic insulin clearance, a physiological process that in response to nutritional cues clears ~50–80% of circulating insulin, is emerging as an important factor in our understanding of the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) is a highly conserved Zn2+-metalloprotease that degrades insulin and several other intermediate-size peptides. Both, insulin clearance and IDE activity are reduced in diabetic patients, albeit the cause-effect relationship in humans remains unproven. Because historically IDE has been proposed as the main enzyme involved in insulin degradation, efforts in the development of IDE inhibitors as therapeutics in diabetic patients has attracted attention during the last decades. In this review, we retrace the path from Mirsky’s seminal discovery of IDE to the present, highlighting the pros and cons of the development of IDE inhibitors as a pharmacological approach to treating diabetic patients.

Abstract
With the development of insulin resistance (IR), there is a compensatory increase in the plasma insulin response to offset the defect in insulin action to maintain normal glucose tolerance. The insulin response is the result of two factors: insulin secretion and metabolic clearance rate of insulin (MCRI). Subjects (104 with normal glucose tolerance [NGT], 57 with impaired glucose tolerance [IGT], and 207 with type 2 diabetes mellitus [T2DM]), divided in nonobese and obese groups, received a euglycemic insulin-clamp (40 mU/m2 ⋅ min) and an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) (75 g) on separate days. MCRI was calculated during the insulin-clamp performed with [3-3H]glucose and the OGTT and related to IR: peripheral (glucose uptake during the insulin clamp), hepatic (basal endogenous glucose production × fasting plasma insulin [FPI]), and adipocyte (fasting free fatty acid × FPI). MCRI during the insulin clamp was reduced in obese versus nonobese NGT (0.60 ± 0.03 vs. 0.73 ± 0.02 L/min ⋅ m2, P < 0.001), in nonobese IGT (0.62 ± 0.02, P < 0.004), and in nonobese T2DM (0.68 ± 0.02, P < 0.03). The MCRI during the insulin clamp was strongly and inversely correlated with IR (r = -0.52, P < 0.0001). During the OGTT, the MCRI was suppressed within 15-30 min in NGT and IGT subjects and remained suppressed. In contrast, suppression was minimal in T2DM. In conclusion, the development of IR in obese subjects is associated with a decline in MCRI that represents a compensatory response to maintain normal glucose tolerance but is impaired in individuals with T2DM.

Reduced insulin clearance is linked to subclinical atherosclerosis in individuals at risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus. Sci Rep 2020; 10:22453.

Abstract
Hyperglycemia and insulin resistance contribute to vascular damage and are regulated by different pathophysiological processes. The aim of the study was to systematically investigate the relative contributions of multiple fasting state- and oral glucose tolerance test (oGTT)-derived glycemic traits to carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), a surrogate parameter of subclinical atherosclerosis, in individuals with increased risk for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2D). 667 volunteers (417 women and 250 men, mean age 44.1 years), who were free of cardiovascular disease (CVD), were included in this cross-sectional study. Glucose tolerance, insulin sensitivity, insulin secretion and insulin clearance were assessed by frequently sampled 75 g oGTT. CIMT was measured by high-resolution ultrasound. Insulin clearance was associated with cIMT in univariate analysis (ßst = − 0.17, p < 0.0001) and in a stepwise regression analysis on 15 variables possibly affecting cIMT, age (r2 = 0.3923, p < 0.0001), insulin clearance (r2 = 0.4564, p < 0.0001), systolic blood pressure (r2 = 0.4733, p < 0.0001), body mass index (BMI) (r2 = 0.4804, p = 0.002), gender (r2 = 0.4831, p = 0.013), and fasting insulin clearance (r2 = 0.4857, p = 0.030) turned out to be significant determinants of cIMT. In a cross-validated model resulting from this analysis, insulin clearance was found to be an independent determinant of cIMT (ßst = − 0.16, p < 0.0001) even after adjusting for traditional CVD risk factors. Reduced insulin clearance may be an early marker of damage on the vasculature, independent of classical CVD risk factors. Reduced insulin clearance should be considered with regard to vascular insulin resistance.

Abstract
AIM To investigate relationships between insulin clearance, insulin secretion, hepatic fat accumulation and insulin sensitivity in black African (BA) and white European (WE) men. METHODS Twenty-three BA and twenty-three WE men with normal glucose tolerance, matched for age and body mass index, underwent a hyperglycaemic clamp to measure insulin secretion and clearance, hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp with stable glucose isotope infusion to measure whole-body and hepatic-specific insulin sensitivity, and magnetic resonance imaging to quantify intrahepatic lipid (IHL). RESULTS BA men had higher glucose-stimulated peripheral insulin levels (48.1 [35.5, 65.2] × 103 vs. 29.9 [23.3, 38.4] × 103 pmol L-1 × min, P = .017) and lower endogeneous insulin clearance (771.6 [227.8] vs. 1381 [534.3] mL m-2 body surface area min -1 , P < .001) compared with WE men. There were no ethnic differences in beta-cell insulin secretion or beta-cell responsivity to glucose, even after adjustment for prevailing insulin sensitivity. In WE men, endogenous insulin clearance was correlated with whole-body insulin sensitivity (r = 0.691, P = .001) and inversely correlated with IHL (r = -0.674, P = .001). These associations were not found in BA men. CONCLUSIONS While normally glucose-tolerant BA men have similar insulin secretory responses to their WE counterparts, they have markedly lower insulin clearance, which does not appear to be explained by either insulin resistance or hepatic fat accumulation. Low insulin clearance may be the primary mechanism of hyperinsulinaemia in populations of African origin.

Abstract
The prevalence of type 2 diabetes (T2D) is higher in black Africans than their European counterparts. This review summarizes the research exploring the pathogenesis of T2D in populations of African ancestry compared to white Europeans and shows that the pathogenesis differs by ethnicity. Black Africans present with a phenotype of low insulin sensitivity and hyperinsulinaemia as a result of increased insulin secretion and reduced hepatic insulin clearance. Whether hyperinsulinaemia precedes insulin resistance or is merely a compensatory mechanism is yet to be determined. Black Africans have lower visceral adipose tissue and ectopic fat deposition and greater peripheral (gluteo-femoral) fat deposition than their European counterparts. This suggests that black Africans are more sensitive to the effects of ectopic fat deposition, or alternatively, that ectopic fat is not an important mediator of T2D in black Africans. Importantly, ethnic disparities in T2D risk factors may be confounded by differences in sociocultural and lifestyle factors. Future longitudinal and dietary intervention studies, in combination with genetic analyses, are needed for a better understanding of the pathophysiology of T2D in black Africans. This will be key for effective prevention and management strategies.

Abstract
Prediabetes (intermediate hyperglycemia) consists of two abnormalities, impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) detected by a standardized 75-gram oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Individuals with isolated IGT or combined IFG and IGT have increased risk for developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Diagnosing prediabetes early and accurately is critical in order to refer high-risk individuals for intensive lifestyle modification. However, there is currently no international consensus for diagnosing prediabetes with HbA1c or glucose measurements based upon American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) criteria that identify different populations at risk for progressing to diabetes. Various caveats affecting the accuracy of interpreting the HbA1c including genetics complicate this further. This review describes established methods for detecting glucose disorders based upon glucose and HbA1c parameters as well as novel approaches including the 1-hour plasma glucose (1-h PG), glucose challenge test (GCT), shape of the glucose curve, genetics, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), measures of insulin secretion and sensitivity, metabolomics, and ancillary tools such as fructosamine, glycated albumin (GA), 1,5- anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG). Of the approaches considered, the 1-h PG has considerable potential as a biomarker for detecting glucose disorders if confirmed by additional data including health economic analysis. Whether the 1-h OGTT is superior to genetics and omics in providing greater precision for individualized treatment requires further investigation. These methods will need to demonstrate substantially superiority to simpler tools for detecting glucose disorders to justify their cost and complexity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND African Americans (AAs) are at a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes compared with non-Hispanic whites (NHWs). The causal role of β-cell glucose sensitivity (β-GS) and insulin clearance in hyperinsulinemia in AA adults is unclear. OBJECTIVE Using a cross-sectional study design, we compared β-cell function and insulin clearance in nondiabetic AAs (n = 36) and NHWs (n = 47) after a mixed meal test (MMT). METHODS Insulin secretion rate, glucose sensitivity, rate sensitivity, and insulin sensitivity during MMT were derived from a mathematical model. Levels of insulin-degrading enzyme (IDE) and carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule-1 (CEACAM1), key players in insulin clearance, were measured (by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay) in hepatic cytosolic fractions from age-, sex-, and body mass index-matched AA and NHW cadaveric donors (n = 10). RESULTS Fasting and mean postprandial plasma glucose levels were similar in both ethnic groups. AAs had significantly higher fasting and mean postprandial plasma insulin levels. However, fasting ISR, total insulin output, and insulin sensitivity during MMT were not different between the groups. β-GS and rate sensitivity were higher in AAs. Fasting and meal plasma insulin clearance were lower in AAs. Hepatic levels of IDE and CEACAM-1 were similar in AAs and NHWs. Hepatic IDE activity was significantly lower in AAs. CONCLUSIONS In this study, lower insulin clearance contributes to higher plasma insulin levels in AAs. Reduced insulin clearance may be explained by lower IDE activity levels in AAs. Further confirmatory studies are needed to investigate diminished insulin clearance in AAs as a result of lower IDE activity levels.

Lower Insulin Clearance Parallels a Reduced Insulin Sensitivity in Obese Youths and Is Associated With a Decline in β-Cell Function Over Time. Diabetes 2019; 68:2074-2084. [PMID: 31399433 PMCID: PMC6804624 DOI: 10.2337/db19-0120] [Citation(s) in RCA: 27] [Impact Index Per Article: 5.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/02/2019] [Accepted: 08/03/2019] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
We examined the relationship between insulin clearance, insulin sensitivity, and β-cell function and the longitudinal effect of insulin clearance on β-cell function in lean and obese insulin-sensitive and insulin-resistant adolescents. A hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic and a hyperglycemic clamp were performed in 110 youths to quantify hepatic and peripheral clearance, insulin sensitivity, and β-cell function (disposition index, DIh-clamp). Participants underwent an oral glucose tolerance test at baseline and after 2 years to assess glucose tolerance and oral β-cell function (oDIcpep) and were sorted into four groups (lean and obese normal glucose tolerance, insulin sensitive, insulin resistant, and impaired glucose tolerance). Insulin sensitivity was defined based on the median of insulin stimulated glucose disposal (M) measured during the hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp. Lean and obese insulin-sensitive participants did not differ with respect to hepatic and peripheral clearance or for insulin sensitivity. Insulin sensitivity was linearly correlated with whole-body insulin clearance. Hepatic insulin extraction at baseline acted as an independent determinant of β-cell function at follow-up. The decline in insulin sensitivity, even in the absence of an impairment of glucose tolerance, is associated with lowering of hepatic insulin clearance in obese youth, which in turn may contribute to the decline in β-cell function over time.

Abstract
Malfunction of the liver is a central factor in metabolic disease. Glucose production by liver is complex and controlled via indirect mechanisms; insulin regulates adipose tissue lipolysis, and free fatty acids in turn regulate liver glucose output. This latter concept is confirmed by studies in L-Akt-Foxo1 knockout mice. The adipocyte is a likely locus of hepatic insulin resistance. Also, kidneys play a role in regulating glucose production; denervated kidneys abrogate the effect of fat feeding to cause insulin resistance. Glucose itself is an important regulator of liver metabolism ("glucose effectiveness"); after entering liver, glucose is phosphorylated and can be exported as lactate. Using the dynamic glucose/lactate relationship, we have been able to estimate glucose effectiveness in intact animals and human subjects. Families have been identified with a glucokinase regulatory protein defect; modeling demonstrates elevated glucokinase activity. Insulin clearance by liver is highly variable among normal individuals, and is under environmental control: high fat diet reduces clearance by 30%. Liver insulin clearance is significantly lower in African American (AA) adults and children compared to European American participants, accounting for fasting hyperinsulinemia in AA. We hypothesize that reduced hepatic insulin clearance causes peripheral insulin resistance and increased Type 2 diabetes in AA.

Abstract
There is wide variance among individuals in the fraction of insulin cleared by the liver (20% to 80%). Hepatic insulin clearance is 67% lower in African Americans than European Americans. Clearance is also lower in African American children 7-13 years of age. Lower hepatic insulin clearance will result in peripheral hyperinsulinemia: this exacerbates insulin resistance, which stresses the β-cells, possibly resulting in their ultimate failure and onset of type 2 diabetes. We hypothesize that lower insulin clearance can be a primary cause of type 2 diabetes in at-risk individuals.

Abstract
Hyperinsulinemia is strongly associated with type 2 diabetes. Racial and ethnic minority populations are disproportionately affected by diabetes and obesity-related complications. This mini-review provides an overview of the genetic and environmental factors associated with hyperinsulinemia with a focus on racial and ethnic differences and its metabolic consequences. The data used in this narrative review were collected through research in PubMed and reference review of relevant retrieved articles. Insulin secretion and clearance are regulated processes that influence the development and progression of hyperinsulinemia. Environmental, genetic, and dietary factors are associated with hyperinsulinemia. Certain pharmacotherapies for obesity and bariatric surgery are effective at mitigating hyperinsulinemia and are associated with improved metabolic health. Hyperinsulinemia is associated with many environmental and genetic factors that interact with a wide network of hormones. Recent studies have advanced our understanding of the factors affecting insulin secretion and clearance. Further basic and translational work on hyperinsulinemia may allow for earlier and more personalized treatments for obesity and metabolic diseases.

Abstract
Upon its secretion from pancreatic β-cells, insulin reaches the liver through the portal circulation to exert its action and eventually undergo clearance in the hepatocytes. In addition to insulin secretion, hepatic insulin clearance regulates the homeostatic level of insulin that is required to reach peripheral insulin target tissues to elicit proper insulin action. Receptor-mediated insulin uptake followed by its degradation constitutes the basic mechanism of insulin clearance. Upon its phosphorylation by the insulin receptor tyrosine kinase, carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) takes part in the insulin-insulin receptor complex to increase the rate of its endocytosis and targeting to the degradation pathways. This review summarizes how this process is regulated and how it is associated with insulin-degrading enzyme in the liver. It also discusses the physiological implications of impaired hepatic insulin clearance: Whereas reduced insulin clearance cooperates with increased insulin secretion to compensate for insulin resistance, it can also cause hepatic insulin resistance. Because chronic hyperinsulinemia stimulates hepatic de novo lipogenesis, impaired insulin clearance also causes hepatic steatosis. Thus impaired insulin clearance can underlie the link between hepatic insulin resistance and hepatic steatosis. Delineating these regulatory pathways should lead to building more effective therapeutic strategies against metabolic syndrome.

Nutr Metab Cardiovasc Dis 2019; 29:504-512. [PMID: 30948306 DOI: 10.1016/j.numecd.2019.01.014] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/22/2018] [Revised: 12/14/2018] [Accepted: 01/18/2019] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Higher fiber intake is associated with increased insulin sensitivity (IS) and reduced glucose-induced insulin secretion (GIIS) during isocaloric-diets; however, its role in hypocaloric-diets is unclear. We examined whether increased fiber intake predicts the amelioration in IS and GIIS following a hypocaloric-diet. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a post-hoc analysis of 55 adult subjects (BMI > 27 kg/m2) who completed a 6-month hypocaloric-diet (-500 kcal/day). Dietary intake was assessed using 3-day food records at baseline and post-intervention. We evaluated glucose-induced insulin and C-peptide secretions as AUC of plasma insulin and C-peptide during intravenous-glucose-tolerance tests (IVGTT) and IS via hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps. Data analysis employed regression models and 2-way RM ANOVAs. Post-intervention % change in fiber intake was associated positively with ISclamp (r = 0.30) and negatively with % change in total (r = -0.37) and 2nd phase GIISIVGTT (r = -0.44) but not C-peptide secretion. It remained associated with lower 2nd phase GIISIVGTT after adjustment for sex and % changes in BMI and energy-intake, independently of other macronutrients. Subjects who increased fiber intake (to 28.7 ± 9.0 g/day) had a greater decrease in 2nd phase GIISIVGTT, not C-peptide secretion, independently of sex or changes in adiposity or energy-intake compared to subjects who decreased intake (to 20.0 ± 6.8 g/day). CONCLUSION Higher fiber intake is an independent predictor of reduced 2nd phase glucose-induced hyperinsulinemia after a hypocaloric-diet. It was not associated with plasma C-peptide, suggesting a role in faster insulin clearance rather reduced insulin secretion. Promoting high-fiber intake may increase the effectiveness of hypocaloric-diets in preventing type 2 diabetes. REGISTRATION ISRCTN14476404, BioMedCentral.com.

Abstract
CONTEXT Total insulin clearance is decreased in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), but the relationship between liver fat and hepatic insulin extraction (HIE) is unknown. OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional study addresses the hypothesis that HIE is reduced in NAFLD and investigates metabolic and/or anthropometric characteristics most closely associated with insulin clearance. PARTICIPANTS Nondiabetic subjects with NAFLD (n = 13) and age- and body mass index (BMI)-matched controls with normal liver enzymes (n = 15) underwent abdominal CT, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry, oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), and labeled two-step hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamps. OUTCOME MEASUREMENTS Liver fat was estimated by the CT liver/spleen ratio. Hepatic and extrahepatic insulin clearances were modeled using clamp and OGTT data. RESULTS Extrahepatic insulin clearance and HIE were not different between NAFLD and controls and did not correlate with liver fat. HIE was positively correlated with insulin sensitivity [rate of glucose disposal (Rd; low r = +0.7, P < 0.001; high r = +0.6, P = 0.001), adiponectin (r = +0.55, P = 0.004), and insulin-mediated suppression of clamp nonesterified free fatty acid (NEFA; r = +0.67, P < 0.001)] but was not associated with fasting NEFA, insulin-mediated suppression of glucose production, or measures of adiposity. Extrahepatic insulin clearance was positively associated with percent body fat (r = +0.44, P = 0.02) and subcutaneous fat (r = +0.42, P = 0.03) but not BMI, intra-abdominal fat, liver fat, Rd, adiponectin, or NEFA. CONCLUSIONS HIE is not directly associated with hepatic steatosis but is associated with muscle and adipose tissue insulin resistance. The data suggest differential regulation of insulin clearance with extrahepatic insulin clearance being associated with body fat and not insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The cardiometabolic risk profile improves following bariatric surgery. However, the degree of improvement in relation to weight-stable control subjects is unknown. OBJECTIVES To study the differences in cardiometabolic risk profile between formerly obese patients following Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery and control subjects. METHODS Subjects undergoing RYGB and reaching a BMI <30 kg m-2 2 years postsurgery were matched with control subjects regarding age, sex and BMI. The following examinations were performed: insulin sensitivity measured by hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp, insulin clearance, homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR), lipid profile, inflammatory marker levels, dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry and subcutaneous adipose tissue cellularity (fat cell size and number). RESULTS Sixty-nine subjects undergoing RYGB were matched to a control subject. Insulin sensitivity measured by hyperinsulinaemic-euglycaemic clamp, blood pressure, inflammatory status and glucose, triglyceride and HDL cholesterol levels were comparable to values of control subjects. However, HOMA-IR (1.0 ± 0.5 vs. 1.3 ± 0.7, P = 0.005), insulin clearance (0.38 ± 0.08 vs. 0.34 ± 0.08 μL m-2 min-1 , P < 0.0001) and circulating levels of insulin (31 ± 15 vs. 37 ± 17 pmol L-1 , P = 0.008), total cholesterol (4.1 ± 0.7 vs. 4.8 ± 0.9 mmol L-1 , P < 0.0001) and LDL cholesterol (2.1 ± 0.6 vs. 2.9 ± 0.8 mmol L-1 , P < 0.0001) were improved beyond the levels in matched control subjects. Furthermore, formerly obese subjects had higher lean and lower fat mass as well as a more benign type of adipose cellularity (hyperplasia with many small fat cells) compared to control subjects. CONCLUSIONS Subjects who underwent RYGB and reached a postobese state demonstrated a beneficial body composition, slightly increased insulin sensitivity as indirectly measured by HOMA-IR and higher insulin clearance, lower atherogenic lipid/lipoprotein levels and benign adipocyte morphology compared with control subjects who had never been obese. In line with previous results, our findings may in part explain why RYGB confers long-term protection against metabolic complications.

Abstract
Diabetes is a major cause of mortality worldwide. There are several types of diabetes, with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) being the most common. Many factors, including environmental and genetic factors, are involved in the etiology of the disease. Numerous studies have reported the role of genetic polymorphisms in the initiation and development of T2DM. While genome-wide association studies have identified around more than 200 susceptibility loci, it remains unclear whether these loci are correlated with the pathophysiology of the disease. The present review aimed to elucidate the potential genetic mechanisms underlying T2DM. We found that some genetic polymorphisms were related to T2DM, either in the form of single-nucleotide polymorphisms or direct amino acid changes in proteins. These polymorphisms are potential predictors for the management of T2DM.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Understanding ethnic differences in beta cell function has important implications for preventative and therapeutic strategies in populations at high risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D). The existing literature, largely drawn from work in children and adolescents, suggests that beta cell function in black African (BA) populations is upregulated when compared to white Europeans (WE). METHODS A systematic literature search was undertaken in June 2018 to identify comparative studies of beta cell function between adults (>age 18 years) of indigenous/diasporic BA and WE ethnicity. All categories of glucose tolerance and all methodologies of assessing beta cell function in vivo were included. RESULTS 41 studies were identified for inclusion into a qualitative synthesis. The majority were studies in African American populations (n = 30) with normal glucose tolerance (NGT)/nondiabetes (n = 25), using intravenous glucose stimulation techniques (n = 27). There were fewer studies in populations defined as only impaired fasting glucose/impaired glucose tolerance (IFG/IGT) (n = 3) or only T2D (n = 3). Although BA broadly exhibited greater peripheral insulin responses than WE, the relatively small number of studies which measured C-peptide to differentiate between beta cell insulin secretion and hepatic insulin extraction (n = 14) had highly variable findings. In exclusively IGT or T2D cohorts, beta cell insulin secretion was found to be lower in BA compared to WE. CONCLUSIONS There is inconsistent evidence for upregulated beta cell function in BA adults, and they may in fact exhibit greater deficits in insulin secretory function as glucose intolerance develops.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate multiple determinants of the longitudinal change in insulin clearance (IC) in subjects at high risk for type 2 diabetes (T2D). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Adults (n=492) at risk for T2D in the Prospective Metabolism and Islet Cell Evaluation cohort, a longitudinal observational cohort, had four visits over 9 years. Values from oral glucose tolerance tests collected at each assessment were used to calculate the ratios of both fasting C peptide-to-insulin (ICFASTING) and areas under the curve of C peptide-to-insulin (ICAUC). Generalized estimating equations (GEE) evaluated multiple determinants of longitudinal changes in IC. RESULTS IC declined by 20% over the 9-year follow-up period (p<0.05). Primary GEE results indicated that non-European ethnicity, as well as increases in baseline measures of waist circumference, white cell count, and alanine aminotransferase, was associated with declines in ICFASTING and ICAUC over time (all p<0.05). There were no significant associations of IC with sex, age, physical activity, smoking, or family history of T2D. Both baseline and longitudinal IC were associated with incident dysglycemia. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that non-European ethnicity and components of the metabolic syndrome, including central obesity, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, and subclinical inflammation, may be related to longitudinal declines in IC.

Piccinini F, Polidori DC, Gower BA, Fernandez JR, Bergman RN. Dissection of hepatic versus extra-hepatic insulin clearance: Ethnic differences in childhood. Diabetes Obes Metab 2018; 20:2869-2875. [PMID: 30019375 PMCID: PMC6482814 DOI: 10.1111/dom.13471] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2018] [Revised: 07/11/2018] [Accepted: 07/14/2018] [Indexed: 01/19/2023]
Abstract
AIMS Adult African American (AA) women have one third of the hepatic insulin clearance of European American (EA) women. This lower hepatic (but not extra-hepatic) insulin clearance in AA individuals is associated with higher plasma insulin concentrations. This study aims to understand whether impairment of hepatic insulin clearance is seen in AA individuals since childhood, possibly suggesting that genetic/epigenetic factors, rather than lifestyle only, contribute to this. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 203 children (105 male and 98 female (55 AA, 88 EA and 60 Hispanic American [HA]; ages, 7-13 years; mean BMI, 19 kg/m2 )) underwent the frequently applied intravenous glucose tolerance test (FSIGT) at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, General Clinical Research Center and Department of Nutrition Sciences. Glucose, insulin and C-peptide levels were measured and hepatic and extra-hepatic insulin clearances were calculated using mathematical modelling. RESULTS Fractional hepatic insulin extraction (FEL ) was lower in AA than in EA children (mean (SD), 19% (20%) vs 33% (20%); P = 0.0007). Adjusting for age, Tanner stage and body fat, FEL was lower in AA than in EA children (P = 0.0012), and there was a slight sex-related difference (FEL, 24% (10%) vs 29% (10%) in boys vs girls; P = 0.04). Extra-hepatic insulin clearance did not differ with ethnicity (27 (12), 21 (12) and 24 (28) mL/kg/min for AA, HA and EA children, respectively; P > 0.05). CONCLUSIONS At a young age, FEL is lower in AAs than in EAs, which does not rule out genetic/epigenetic factors. These differences are related to hyperinsulinaemia and, over time, could possibly contribute to metabolic disorders in AA individuals.

Abstract
Black women, compared with White women, have high rates of whole-body insulin resistance but a lower prevalence of fasting hyperglycemia and hepatic steatosis. This dissociation of whole-body insulin resistance from fasting hyperglycemia may be explained by racial differences in gluconeogenesis, hepatic fat, or tissue-specific insulin sensitivity. Two groups of premenopausal federally employed women, without diabetes were studied. Using stable isotope tracers, [2H2O] and [6,62-H2]glucose, basal glucose production was partitioned into its components (gluconeogenesis and glycogenolysis) and basal whole-body lipolysis ([2H5]glycerol) was measured. Indices of insulin sensitivity, whole-body (SI), hepatic (HISIGPR), and adipose tissue, were calculated. Hepatic fat was measured by proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Black women had less hepatic fat and lower fractional and absolute gluconeogenesis. Whole-body SI, HISIGPR, and adipose tissue sensitivity were similar by race, but at any given level of whole-body SI, Black women had higher HISIGPR. Therefore, fasting hyperglycemia may be a less common early pathological feature of prediabetes in Black women compared with White women, because gluconeogenesis remains lower despite similar whole-body SI.

Abstract
CONTEXT Recently, a value of 1-hour postload glucose concentration (1-h-PG) ≥155 mg/dL (8.6 mmol/L) in individuals with normal glucose tolerance (NGT) has been found to be associated with an increased risk for future type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In this review, we analyze the implication of 1-h-PG determination in prediction of T2DM and cardiovascular disease. DESIGN A literature search was performed using MEDLINE. We included all English studies published up to February 2018 in peer-reviewed journals that examined the relationship between 1-h-PG and diabetes, cardiometabolic alterations, organ damage, and cardiovascular disease. RESULTS Several longitudinal studies have consistently shown that 1-h-PG ≥155 mg/dL can recognize individuals at increased risk for future T2DM among subjects with NGT. Additionally, we describe the pathophysiological abnormalities associated with 1-h-PG ≥155 mg/dL including impaired insulin sensitivity, β-cell dysfunction, and increased glucose intestinal absorption, which are known to be involved in T2DM pathogenesis. Importantly, numerous studies have demonstrated that a value of 1-h-PG ≥155 mg/dL in individuals with NGT is not only linked to an increased risk for future T2DM, but also able to identify those having a worse cardiovascular phenotype and an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Although 1-h-PG determination is not currently recommended by the American Diabetes Association for identifying high-risk individuals, the available evidence indicates that a value of 1-h-PG ≥155 mg/dL may be a useful tool to recognize, among subjects with NGT, those at increased risk of T2DM and cardiovascular disease.

Metabolic markers, regional adiposity, and adipose cell size: relationship to insulin resistance in African-American as compared with Caucasian women. Int J Obes (Lond) 2018; 43:1164-1173. [PMID: 30127463 PMCID: PMC6382609 DOI: 10.1038/s41366-018-0191-1] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/26/2018] [Revised: 06/22/2018] [Accepted: 07/22/2018] [Indexed: 01/22/2023]
Abstract
BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES African-American women have the greatest prevalence of obesity in the United States, and higher rates of type 2 diabetes than Caucasian women, yet paradoxically lower plasma triglycerides (TG), visceral fat and intrahepatic fat, and higher high-density lipoprotein (HDL)-cholesterol. Visceral fat has not been evaluated against insulin resistance in African-American women, and TG/HDL-cholesterol has been criticized as a poor biomarker for insulin resistance in mixed-sex African-American populations. Adipocyte hypertrophy, reflecting adipocyte dysfunction, predicts insulin resistance in Caucasians, but has not been studied in African-Americans. Our goal was to assess whether traditional correlates of insulin resistance, measures of adiposity and adipocyte characteristics similarly predict peripheral insulin resistance in African-American and Caucasian women. SUBJECTS/METHODS Thirty-four healthy African-American (n = 17) and Caucasian (n = 17) women, matched for age (mean = 53.0 yrs) and body mass index (BMI) (mean = 30 kg/m2), underwent a steady-state plasma glucose test to measure insulin sensitivity; computed tomography (fat distribution); and a periumbilical scalpel biopsy (adipocyte characterization). By-race analyzes utilized analysis of covariance; linear regressions evaluated relationships between metabolic/adipose variables. All analyses adjusted for BMI and menopausal status. RESULTS Insulin sensitivity did not differ between groups (p = 0.65). Neither BMI, nor %body fat or thigh fat predicted insulin resistance in African-American women. Fasting TG (p = 0.046), HDL-cholesterol (p = 0.0006) and TG/HDL-cholesterol ratio (p = 0.009) strongly predicted insulin resistance in African-American women. Despite being lower in African-American women, hepatic fat and visceral adipose tissue (VAT) correlated with insulin resistance in both groups, as did fasting glucose, VAT/SAT (subcutaneous adipose tissue) ratio, and %SAT (inverse). CONCLUSIONS Total adiposity measures and adipocyte hypertrophy did not predict insulin resistance in African-American women, but did in Caucasian women. Plasma TG and HDL-cholesterol were significant predictors of insulin resistance in African-American women. Our findings demonstrate the need to identify race and sex-specific biomarkers for metabolic risk profiling.

Abstract
AIMS Decreased insulin clearance has been reported to be associated with insulin resistance-related disorders and incident type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether higher levels of uric acid (UA), a known risk factor of type 2 diabetes, are associated with a reduced insulin clearance. METHODS 440 non-diabetic individuals were stratified in tertiles according to serum UA levels. Insulin clearance and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity were assessed by euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp. Hepatic insulin resistance was estimated by the liver IR index. RESULTS Subjects with higher levels of UA displayed an unfavorable metabolic phenotype with a worse lipid profile, increased levels of 2-h post-load glucose levels, fasting, and 2-h post-load insulin levels, hsCRP, liver IR index, and lower levels of eGFR and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity, in comparison to individuals with lower UA levels. Moreover, subjects with higher UA concentrations exhibited decreased levels of insulin clearance even after adjustment for age, gender, BMI, eGFR, and skeletal muscle insulin sensitivity. In a multivariate regression analysis model including several confounding factors, UA concentration was an independent predictor of insulin clearance (β = - 0.145; P = 0.03). However, when liver IR index was included in the model, the independent association between UA levels and insulin clearance was not retained. Accordingly, in a mediation analysis, liver IR index was a mediator of the negative effects of UA levels on insulin clearance (t = - 2.55, P = 0.01). CONCLUSIONS Higher serum levels of UA may affect insulin clearance by impairing hepatic insulin sensitivity.

Abstract
AIM To test the hypothesis that men of black (West) African ethnicity (black African men [BAM]) with early type 2 diabetes (T2D) would have greater insulin secretory deficits compared with white European men (WEM), following prediabetic hypersecretion. METHODS In 19 BAM and 15 WEM, matched for age, body mass index and duration of diabetes, we assessed and modelled insulin secretory responses to hyperglycaemia stimulated intravenously (hyperglycaemic clamp) and orally (meal tolerance test). RESULTS With similar post-challenge glucose responses, BAM had lower second-phase C-peptide responses to intravenous glucose (BAM 70.6 vs WEM 115.1 nmol/L/min [ratio of geometric mean 0.55, 95% confidence interval {CI} 0.37, 0.83]; P = .006) and to oral glucose (BAM 65.4 vs WEM 88.5 nmol/L/min [mean difference -23.2, 95% CI -40.0, -6.3]; P = .009). Peripheral insulin response in BAM to oral glucose was preserved (BAM 47.4 vs WEM 59.4 nmol/L/min [ratio of geometric mean 0.89, 95% CI 0.59, 1.35]; P = .566), with relative reductions in insulin clearance (BAM 506.2 vs WEM 630.1 mL/m2 BSA/min [mean difference -123.9, 95% CI -270.5, 22.6]; P = .095), associated with enhanced incretin responses (gastric inhibitory polypeptide incremental area under the curve: BAM 46.8 vs WEM 33.9 μg/L/min [mean difference 12.9, 95% CI 2.1, 23.7]; P = .021). CONCLUSIONS In early T2D, BAM had significantly lower insulin secretory responses to intravenous and oral stimulation than WEM. Lower insulin clearance, potentially driven by increased incretin responses, may act to preserve peripheral insulin concentrations. Tailoring early management strategies to reflect distinct ethnic-specific pathophysiology may improve outcomes in this high-risk population.

Increase in hepatic and decrease in peripheral insulin clearance characterize abnormal temporal patterns of serum insulin in diabetic subjects. NPJ Syst Biol Appl 2018; 4:14.

Abstract
Insulin plays a central role in glucose homeostasis, and impairment of insulin action causes glucose intolerance and leads to type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). A decrease in the transient peak and sustained increase of circulating insulin following an infusion of glucose accompany T2DM pathogenesis. However, the mechanism underlying this abnormal temporal pattern of circulating insulin concentration remains unknown. Here we show that changes in opposite direction of hepatic and peripheral insulin clearance characterize this abnormal temporal pattern of circulating insulin concentration observed in T2DM. We developed a mathematical model using a hyperglycemic and hyperinsulinemic-euglycemic clamp in 111 subjects, including healthy normoglycemic and diabetic subjects. The hepatic and peripheral insulin clearance significantly increase and decrease, respectively, from healthy to borderline type and T2DM. The increased hepatic insulin clearance reduces the amplitude of circulating insulin concentration, whereas the decreased peripheral insulin clearance changes the temporal patterns of circulating insulin concentration from transient to sustained. These results provide further insight into the pathogenesis of T2DM, and thus may contribute to develop better treatment of this condition. Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is one of the fastest growing public health problems, characterized by chronic hyperglycemia with the failure of glucose homeostasis. Evaluating alteration in biological functions regulating circulating glucose concentration is complicated due to the mutual relation between circulating glucose and insulin. A team led by Wataru Ogawa at Kobe University designed clinical experiments for breaking such feedback relations, and a team led by Shinya Kuroda at University of Tokyo developed mathematical models for specifically quantifying the functions from the clinical data. The estimated model parameters revealed the significant increase in hepatic and decrease in peripheral insulin clearance, which occur before and after insulin delivery into systemic circulation, respectively, from healthy to T2DM subjects. Model analysis suggested these insulin clearances centrally regulate the dynamics of circulating insulin concentration in the glucose-insulin regulatory system.

Abstract
Purpose The purpose of the study was to examine the associations between dietary behaviors and glucose metabolism in high-risk young adults to increase the precision of nutrition education to prevent early onset type 2 diabetes (T2D). Method Using a descriptive, cross-sectional study design, 106 overweight or obese sedentary young adults ages 18-29 years from the Atlanta metropolitan area were recruited to screen diabetes risk. Survey questionnaires, anthropometric assessment, blood pressure (BP), and laboratory data were collected in a clinical research unit. The Web-based HOMA2 calculator was used to calculate beta cell function and insulin sensitivity. Results The final sample included 103 participants. There were similar patterns of diet (caloric intake and dietary quality) between African Americans and non-African Americans, whereas African Americans showed hyperinsulinemia compared with non-African Americans. When young adults consumed a good quality diet (appropriate carbohydrate intakes; high fiber, low saturated fat but protein rich diet), their insulin resistance was decreased. There was a marginal interaction effect between insulin sensitivity and beta cell function by race. Systolic BP was higher in African Americans, and total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol were higher in non-African Americans. Conclusion Findings are useful to develop age-specific nutrition guidelines to prevent early onset T2D in high-risk young adults.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Insulin resistance and metabolic alteration continue to be essential features of major mental health disorders (MMHD) with poorly understood and multifaceted mechanisms. This study was carried out to provide information on insulin resistance, beta-cell function, metabolic clearance rate of glucose and their possible interplay with duration of antipsychotic use in patients with major mental health disorders. METHODOLOGY Plasma levels of glucose and insulin were determined in 124 patients with MMHD after an overnight fast and at 30 and 120 min of standard Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. Thereafter, indices of insulin resistance, beta-cell function and estimated metabolic clearance rate of glucose (eMCR) were calculated appropriately. Statistical analysis was done using ANOVA, Kruskal Wallis, independent Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U. P-values less than 0.05 were considered as statistically significant. RESULTS Metabolic factors (fasting and postprandial glucose and insulin), indices of insulin sensitivity and β-cell function were not significantly different when patients with schizophrenia, bipolar and depression were compared with one another. Postprandial insulin level at 30 min (30 min PPI), estimated First and Second Phases of Insulin Release (eFPIR, eSPIR) were significantly lower in patients on atypical antipsychotic drugs [18.15 (3.57-40.35) μIU/ml), 617.63 (320.06-911.31) pmol/l, 180.30 (114.82-249.39) pmol/l] compared with patients on typical antipsychotic drugs [27.48 (13.33-47.68) μIU/ml, 767.69 (530.58-1198.35) pmol/l, 209.89 (154.01-310.97) pmol/l]. Furthermore, the mean waist circumference and body mass index were significantly higher in patients who have been on anti-psychotic drug for more than 10 years compared with patients with less than 5 years history of anti-psychotic use. eMCR of glucose progressively declined with increasing duration of antipsychotic use and it was significantly lower in patients who have been on antipsychotic drugs for more than 10 years [8.09 (5.90-9.44) ml.kg-1.min-1] compared with patients who have been on the drugs for less than 5 years [9.03 (7.47-10.04) ml.kg-1.min-1]. CONCLUSION Patients on atypical antipsychotics seem to have insulin secretion phases consistent with β-cell dysfunction. Also, chronicity of antipsychotic treatment predisposes patients with major mental health disorders to central adiposity and low metabolic clearance rate of glucose, a forerunner of glucose intolerance.

Abstract
The Metabolic Syndrome (MetS) is recognized as a predictor of cardiovascular outcomes and type 2 diabetes (T2DM). The MetS is a constellation of clinical and metabolic risk factors that include abdominal obesity, dyslipidemia, glucose intolerance, and hypertension. There are ethnic and racial differences in the prevalence of MetS and its components. In general, African-Americans have lower prevalence of MetS when compared to whites, but suffer disproportionately from higher cardiovascular mortality and T2DM. Specifically, African-American women (AAW) have higher rates of T2DM and cardiovascular mortality despite a more favorable lipid and lipoprotein profile. This is paradoxical. However, there is a general upward trend in the prevalence of MetS in the US. The reasons are debatable, but could be multifactorial, including genetics and environmental factors. Thus, there is a need to understand the increasing trend in the MetS, its components, and the associated outcomes for AAW. Therefore, the purpose of this mini review is to (1) understand the increasing prevalence of MetS and its components in AAW and (2) provide suggestions for future prevention of cardiovascular disease and T2DM in AAW.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Offspring of pregnancies affected by gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) are at increased risk of the development of type 2 diabetes. However, the extent to which these dysmetabolic traits may be due to offspring and/or maternal adiposity is unknown. We examined body composition and associated cardiometabolic traits in 561 9- to 16-year-old offspring of mothers with GDM and 597 control offspring. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS We measured anthropometric characteristics; puberty status; blood pressure; and fasting glucose, insulin, C-peptide, and lipid levels; and conducted a DEXA scan in a subset of the cohort. Differences in the outcomes between offspring of mothers with GDM and control subjects were examined using linear and logistic regression models. RESULTS After adjustment for age and sex, offspring of mothers with GDM displayed higher weight, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio (WHR), systolic blood pressure, and resting heart rate and lower height. Offspring of mothers with GDM had higher total and abdominal fat percentages and lower muscle mass percentages, but these differences disappeared after correction for offspring BMI. The offspring of mothers with GDM displayed higher fasting plasma glucose, insulin, C-peptide, HOMA-insulin resistance (IR), and plasma triglyceride levels, whereas fasting plasma HDL cholesterol levels were decreased. Female offspring of mothers with GDM had an earlier onset of puberty than control offspring. Offspring of mothers with GDM had significantly higher BMI, WHR, fasting glucose, and HOMA-IR levels after adjustment for maternal prepregnancy BMI, and glucose and HOMA-IR remained elevated in the offspring of mothers with GDM after correction for both maternal and offspring BMIs. CONCLUSIONS In summary, adolescent offspring of women with GDM show increased adiposity, an adverse cardiometabolic profile, and earlier onset of puberty among girls. Increased fasting glucose and HOMA-IR levels among the offspring of mothers with GDM may be explained by the programming effects of hyperglycemia in pregnancy.

Exenatide induces carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 expression to prevent hepatic steatosis. Hepatol Commun 2017; 2:35-47. [PMID: 29404511 PMCID: PMC5776867 DOI: 10.1002/hep4.1117] [Citation(s) in RCA: 9] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/21/2017] [Revised: 10/02/2017] [Accepted: 10/03/2017] [Indexed: 12/15/2022] Open
Abstract
Exenatide, a glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonist, induces insulin secretion. Its role in insulin clearance has not been adequately examined. Carcinoembryonic antigen-related cell adhesion molecule 1 (CEACAM1) promotes hepatic insulin clearance to maintain insulin sensitivity. Feeding C57BL/6J mice a high-fat diet down-regulates hepatic Ceacam1 transcription to cause hyperinsulinemia, insulin resistance, and hepatic steatosis, as in Ceacam1 null mice (Cc1-/- ). Thus, we tested whether exenatide regulates Ceacam1 expression in high-fat diet-fed mice and whether this contributes to its insulin sensitizing effect. Exenatide (100 nM) induced the transcriptional activity of wild-type Ceacam1 promoter but not the constructs harboring block mutations of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor response element and retinoid X receptor alpha, individually or collectively, in HepG2 human hepatoma cells. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis demonstrated binding of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma to Ceacam1 promoter in response to rosiglitazone and exenatide. Consistently, exenatide induced Ceacam1 messenger RNA expression within 12 hours in the absence but not in the presence of the glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor antagonist exendin 9-39. Exenatide (20 ng/g body weight once daily intraperitoneal injection in the last 30 days of feeding) restored hepatic Ceacam1 expression and insulin clearance to curb diet-induced metabolic abnormalities and steatohepatitis in wild-type but not Cc1-/- mice fed a high-fat diet for 2 months. Conclusion: Exenatide promotes insulin clearance in parallel with insulin secretion to prevent chronic hyperinsulinemia and the resulting hepatic steatosis, and this contributes to its insulin sensitizing effect. Our data further highlight the relevance of physiologic insulin metabolism in maintaining insulin sensitivity and normal lipid metabolism. (Hepatology Communications 2018;2:35-47).
