Abstract

The diminished ability of insulin to promote glucose disposal and storage in muscle has been ascribed to impaired activation of glycogen synthase (GS). It is possible that decreased glucose storage could occur as a consequence of decreased glucose uptake, and that GS is impaired secondarily. Muscle glucose uptake in 15 diabetic subjects was matched to 15 nondiabetic subjects by maintaining fasting hyperglycemia during infusion of insulin. Leg muscle glucose uptake, glucose oxidation (local indirect calorimetry), release of glycolytic products, and muscle glucose storage, as well as muscle GS and pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) were determined before and during insulin infusion. Basal leg glucose oxidation and PDH were increased in the diabetics. Insulin-stimulated leg glucose uptake in the diabetics (8.05 +/- 1.41 mumol/[min.100 ml leg tissue]) did not differ from controls (5.64 +/- 0.37). Insulin-stimulated leg glucose oxidation, nonoxidized glycolysis, and glucose storage (2.48 +/- 0.27, 0.68 +/- 0.15, and 5.04 +/- 1.34 mumol/[min.100 ml], respectively) were not different from controls (2.18 +/- 0.12, 0.62 +/- 0.16, and 2.83 +/- 0.31). PDH and GS in noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) were also normal during insulin infusion. When diabetics were restudied after being rendered euglycemic by overnight insulin infusion, GS and PDH were reduced compared with hyperglycemia. Thus, fasting hyperglycemia is sufficient to normalize insulin-stimulated muscle glucose uptake in NIDDM, and glucose is distributed normally to glycogenesis and glucose oxidation, possibly by normalization of GS and PDH.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
