Insulin resistance and hypersecretion in obesity: European Group for the Study of Insulin Resistance (EGIR)
Open accessAbstract
Insulin resistance and insulin hypersecretion are established features of obesity. Their prevalence, however, has only been inferred from plasma insulin concentrations. We measured insulin sensitivity (as the whole-body insulin-mediated glucose uptake) and fasting posthepatic insulin delivery rate (IDR) with the use of the euglycemic insulin clamp technique in a large group of obese subjects in the database of the European Group for the Study of Insulin Resistance (1,146 nondiabetic, normotensive Caucasian men and women aged 18-85 yr, with a body mass index (BMI) ranging from 15 to 55 kg.m-2). Insulin resistance, defined as the lowest decile of insulin sensitivity in the lean subgroup (608 subjects with a mean BMI of 29 kg.m-2). Insulin sensitivity declined linearly with BMI at an age- and sex-adjusted rate of 1.2 micromol.min-1.kg FFM-1 per BMI unit (95% confidence intervals = 1.0-1.4). Insulin hypersecretion, defined as the upper decile of IDR, was significantly (P<0.0001) more prevalent (38%) than insulin resistance in the obese group. In the whole dataset, IDR rose as a function of both BMI and insulin resistance in a nonlinear fashion. Neither the waist circumference nor the waist-to-hip ratio, indices of body fat distribution, was related to insulin sensitivity after adjustment for age, gender, and BMI; both, however, were positively associated (P<0.001) with insulin hypersecretion, particularly in women. In nondiabetic, normotensive obese subjects, the prevalence of insulin resistance is relatively low, and is exceeded by the prevalence of insulin hypersecretion, particularly in women with central obesity. In the obese with preserved insulin sensitivity, risk for diabetes, cardiovascular risk, and response to treatment may be different than in insulin resistant obesity.

“Because the great majority of glucose disposal after intravenous glucose administration occurs in muscle, these results provide strong evidence that insulin resistance in muscle is the earliest demonstrable defect in the natural history of type 2 diabetes, but that the development of overt type 2 diabetes occurs only in those individuals whose β-cells are unable to compensate for the defect in”

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.
