Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE With the aim of investigating glucose-mediated glucose disposal (glucose effectiveness [GE]) in 15 (3 female and 12 male subjects) insulin-resistant normoglycemic relatives of patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2), and 15 age-, sex-, and BMI-matched control subjects without a family history of DM2, we performed 2 studies: 1) a 5-h euglycemic near-normoinsulinemic pancreatic clamp with somatostatin (360 microg/h), insulin (0.25 mU x kg(-1) x min(-1)), glucagon (0.5 ng x kg(-1) x min(-1)), growth hormone (6 ng x kg(-1) x min(-1)), and tritiated glucose infusion and indirect calorimetry; and 2) on a separate day, an identical 5-h clamp but at hyperglycemia (approximately 12 mmol/l) over the last 2 h. Fasting plasma insulin (PI) concentrations were elevated in the relatives compared with control subjects (49 +/- 6 vs. 32 +/- 5 pmol/l, P < 0.04), whereas plasma glucose (PG) was not (5.6 +/- 0.1 vs. 5.5 +/-0.1 mmol/l). 10909980 2000
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.400 GeneticVariation disease BEFREE The most common polymorphism in the Chinese population was GCA-->GCG (A804A), and its frequency was significantly higher in Chinese patients with NIDDM than in controls (26.5% vs 7.4%, chi 2 = 8.84, P < 0.01). 11775217 2000
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent

Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE Plasma glucagon concentrations were similar at basal glycemia (73+/-6, 69+/-5 and 69+/-7 ng/l) and reached peak values of 88+/-9, 88+/-11 and 89+/-7 ng/l at a glycemia of 3.6 mmol/l in MODY3 patients, patients with NIDDM and controls respectively (NS). 11174836 2001
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE Taken together, these results show that insertion of Aha after the 7 position in GLP-1 produces an effective, long-acting GLP-1 analog, which may be useful in the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus. 11564711 2001
Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent
0.400 Biomarker disease BEFREE Although the incretins, gastric inhibitory polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), as well as glucagon and cortisol, are known to influence islet function, the role of these hormones in conditions of insulin resistance and development of type 2 diabetes is unknown. 11888847 2002
