Tóm tắt

Glucose effectiveness, defined as the ability of glucose itself to increase glucose utilization and inhibit hepatic glucose production, is an important mechanism maintaining normoglycemia. We conducted a minimal modeling analysis of glucose effectiveness at zero insulin (GEZI) using intravenous glucose tolerance test data from subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D, n=154) and non-diabetic (ND) subjects (n=343). A hierarchical statistical analysis was performed, which provided a formal mechanism for pooling the data from all study subjects, to yield a single composite population model that quantifies the role of subject specific characteristics such as weight, height, age, sex, and glucose tolerance. Based on the resulting composite population model, GEZI was reduced from 0.021 min–1 (standard error – 0.00078 min–1) in the ND population to 0.011 min–1 (standard error – 0.00045 min–1) in T2D. The resulting model was also employed to calculate the proportion of the non–insulin-dependent net glucose uptake in each subject receiving an intravenous glucose load. Based on individual parameter estimates, the fraction of total glucose disposal independent of insulin was 72.8% ± 12.0% in the 238 ND subjects over the course of the experiment, indicating the major contribution to the whole-body glucose clearance under non-diabetic conditions. This fraction was significantly reduced to 48.8% ± 16.9% in the 30 T2D subjects, although still accounting for approximately half of the total in the T2D population based on our modeling analysis. Given the potential application of glucose effectiveness as a predictor of glucose intolerance and as a potential therapeutic target for treating diabetes, more investigations of glucose effectiveness in other disease conditions can be conducted using the hierarchical modeling framework reported herein.
