Abstract

Visceral fat (VF) excess has been associated with decreased peripheral insulin sensitivity and has been suggested to contribute to hepatic insulin resistance. However, the mechanisms by which VF impacts on hepatic glucose metabolism and the quantitative role of VF in glycemic control have not been investigated. In the present study 63 type 2 diabetic subjects (age, 55 +/- 1 yr; fasting plasma glucose, 5.5-14.4 mmol/liter; hemoglobin A(1c), 6.1-11.7%) underwent measurement of 1) fat-free mass ((3)H(2)O technique), 2) sc and visceral abdominal fat area (magnetic resonance imaging), 3) insulin sensitivity (euglycemic insulin clamp), 4) endogenous glucose output ([(3)H]glucose infusion technique), and 5) gluconeogenesis ((2)H(2)O method). After adjustment for sex, age, body mass index, diabetes duration, ethnicity, and sc fat area, VF area was positively related to fasting hyperglycemia (partial r = 0.46; P = 0.001) as well as to hemoglobin A(1c) (partial r = 0.50; P = 0.0003). Insulin sensitivity was reciprocally related to VF independently of body mass index (partial r = 0.33; P = 0.01). In contrast, the relation of basal endogenous glucose output to VF was not statistically significant. This lack of association was explained by the fact that VF was positively associated with gluconeogenesis flux (confounder-adjusted, partial r = 0.45; P = 0.003), but was reciprocally associated with glycogenolysis (partial r = 0.31; P < 0.05). We conclude that in patients with established type 2 diabetes, VF accumulation has a significant negative impact on glycemic control through a decrease in peripheral insulin sensitivity and an enhancement of gluconeogenesis.

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.
