    Notes: Summary To elucidate the mechanisms whereby changes in dietary composition affect the action of insulin on glucose metabolism, insulin binding and glucose uptake and oxidation have been studied in epididymal fat pad adipocytes from rats fed high glucose diets for 5 and 10 days. After 5 days, insulin binding was increased, due mainly to an increased number of receptors (3.4×105 vs. 2.4×105 sites per cell) in spite of increased plasma insulin levels (3.0±0.2 vs. 2.1±0.1 μg/l; p〈0.05). The maximal response of glucose oxidation to insulin was increased (925±55 vs. 510±58 n moles/2×105 cells/2h; p〈0.01) and the dose-response curve of glucose uptake was shifted to the left. After 10 days, receptor number decreased to the control level and the effect of insulin on glucose uptake and oxidation (% basal) were similar to controls. Thus, in the early stage of high glucose feeding, insulin receptor number, insulin sensitivity of glucose uptake, and insulin responsiveness of glucose oxidation were increased.

    Notes: Summary The plasma concentration of 1,5-anhydro-D-glucitol (AG)(1-deoxyglucose) is known to decrease in diabetic patients. In order to evaluate the usefulness of this polyol as a diabetic marker, we examined the specificity of the plasma AG reduction in various diseases: the plasma AG level was determined in 108 newly diagnosed diabetic patients, 229 normal subjects and 200 patients with various other disorders. The mean plasma AG concentration in diabetes mellitus was 1.9±1.8 μg/ml (mean±SD), which was definitely lower than that in healthy subjects and patients with other diseases including some metabolic and hormonal diseases (mean value range: 13.4–28.3 μg/ml). Only the “malignancies” group showed statistically different mean values from that in normal subjects; however, these values were much higher than those of diabetic patients. The AG concentration seemed to be relatively low in some severe by uraemic patients, but is likely to be little influenced by the glomerular filtration rate. Upon adjustment for sex and age, AG concentration was not found to be correlated with the degree of obesity in both healthy subjects and diabetic patients. The plasma AG concentration showed a tendency to be higher in healthy males than in healthy females in all age-matched groups; however, statistically significant differences were not seen. Also, no significant influence of age was observed.

    Notes: Summary We analyzed single-stranded conformational poly morphisms to screen for mutations and polymorphisms in the insulin receptor gene in subjects with or without insulin resistance. Using this new technique, we demonstrated the existence of mutations in the insulin receptor gene which we had identified previously. In addition, a new mutation was found in exon 20 of the insulin receptor gene in a patient with moderate insulin resistance associated with morbid obesity, acanthosis nigricans, and polycystic ovary syndrome. The patient was heterozygous for a mutation substituting Leu (CTG) for Pro (CCG) at codon 1178. Pro1178 is a part of a characteristic sequence motif (D1150 F1151 G1152-A1177 P1178 E1179) common to many protein kinases. Analysis of single-stranded conformational polymorphisms was also used to estimate the frequency of a polymorphism at codon 1058. The two codons CAC (1058 His) and CAT (1058 His) both had a prevalence of 50% in 30 Japanese subjects. These data demonstrate that analysis of single-stranded conformational polymorphisms is a simple and sensitive screening method for mutations and polymorphisms in the insulin receptor gene in subjects with or without insulin resistance. Identification of a mutation in the insulin receptor gene in a patient with a moderate degree of insulin resistance associated with morbid obesity suggests that insulin receptor mutations may exist in patients with Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus associated with a moderate degree of insulin resistance.
