    Notes: Summary The extracellular calcium requirements for insulin, glucagon and somatostatin release induced by 1 μg/ml of glibenclamide have been compared in the perfused, isolated rat pancreas. In the absence of glucose, the drug evoked insulin release equally well at physiological (2.6 mmol/l) and low (0.25 mmol/l) levels of total calcium. In contrast, glibenclamide evoked somatostatin release at 2.6 but not at 0.25 mmol/l of calcium. At 2.6 mmol/l of calcium, glibenclamide evoked bimodal effects (stimulation followed by inhibition) on glucagon secretion. At 0.25 mmol/l of calcium, basal secretory rates of glucagon were elevated and a small stimulatory effect of glibenclamide was seen. Addition of 0.5 mmol/l of EGTA to media with low calcium concentrations uniformly abolished the A, B and D cell secretory responses to glibenclamide. The possible modulation of calcium dependency by a non-stimulatory concentration of glucose was tested by its addition at 3.3 mmol/l to the perfusion media. Glucose enhanced glibenclamide-induced insulin secretion, both at 0.25 and 2.6 mmol/l of calcium. However, at 0.25 mmol/l of calcium, the enhancing effect of glucose was more pronounced than at 2.6 mmol/l. At 2.6 mmol/l of calcium, glucose diminished the somatostatin and abolished the glucagon response to glibenclamide. At 0.25 mmol/l of calcium, glucose did not influence somatostatin release while the presence of the sugar diminished basal and glibenclamide-induced glucagon secretion. The present data confirm the requirement of extracellular calcium for A, B and D cell secretion, demonstrating different calcium dependencies for the cell types and indicate that this dependency can, in part, be modulated by glucose.

    Description / Table of Contents: Résumé La cause de la résistance prononcée à l'insuline caractérisant le syndrome obèse-hyperglycémique de la sourisobob n'est pas encore connue. Cette étude a été entreprise dans le but d'évaluer le rôle pathogénique éventuel de l'hormone de croissance (GH), mesurantin vivo le taux d'incorporation de sulfate dans le cartilage costal chez les souris normales et obèse hyperglycémiques de même nichées et à des âges différents. Les résultats suivants ont été obtenus: a) L'administration de GH augmente l'incorporation de sulfate dans le cartilage costal des deux types de souris, b) La présence de GH augmente la résistance à l'insuline des animaux obèses-hyperglycémiques. c) L'incorporation de sulfate est considérablement augmentée chez la souris obèse âgée de plus d'un mois et reste élevée jusqu'à environ 10 mois. Chez des animaux de 17 mois, elle est ramené à un taux semblable à celui des souris normales d'une même nichée. En plus, l'épiphyse du tibia était plus large chez la souris obèse. Une étude morphologique de l'hypophyse a été faite ensuite puisqu'il n'était pas établi que les taux élevés d'incorporation de sulfate soient dûs à une activité endogène accrue de la GH et/ou à l'insulinémie élevée observée chez la souris obèse en cette période de la vie. L'absence de différences structurelles ou quantitatives entre les cellules α hypophysaires des souris normales et obèses n'exclut pas l'éventualité que l'activité de sulfation accrue soit due à l'insulinémie élevée plutôt qu'à une augmentation de l'activité de l'hormone de croissance. Une activité de la glycokinase caractérisée par unK m élevé a été trouvée dans le foie des souris normales et obèses. Chez la souris obèse, une élévation significative de cette activité enzymatique, — valors que l'activité de l'hexokinase n'est pas augmentée-suggère que les cellules hépatiques ne sont pas impliquées par la résistance à l'insuline décrite dans le syndrome obèse — hyperglycémique.
    Abstract: Zusammenfassung Die Ursache der Insulinresistenz derobob Maus ist noch immer unbekannt. Um festzustellen, ob dem Wachstumshormon eventuell pathogenetische Bedeutung zukomme, wurde die Inkorporation von Sulfat in den Rippenknorpel vonobob Mäusen und normalgewichtigen Kontrolltieren verschiedener Altersklassen gemessen. Die Injektion von Wachstumshormon erhöht die Inkorporation von Sulfat bei allen Tieren. Bei den fettsüchtigen nahm nach der Injektion außerhalb die Insulinresistenz zu. Die spontane Inkorporation von Sulfat in die Rippenknorpel war bei denobob Tieren nach dem ersten und ungefähr bis zum zehnten Lebensmonat signifikant erhöht. Bei 17 Monate alten Tieren wurden den bei Normaltieren gemessenen entsprechende Werte gefunden. Weiterhin war die Breite der Tibia-Epiphyse der obesen Maus größer. Da es auf Grund dieser Resultate nicht möglich war, zu unterscheiden, ob die erhöhte Inkorporation tatsächlich auf erhöhte Konzentrationen endogenen Wachstumshormons und/oder auf die gleichzeitig bestehende Hyperinsulinämie zurückzuführen sei, wurden die Hypophysen der Tiere histologisch untersucht. Dabei konnten zwischen den obes-hyperglykämischen und den normalen Tieren weder strukturelle Unterschiede noch solche in der Zahl der A-Zellen festgestellt werden. Es ist deshalb vorderhand unmöglich, die Hyperinsulinämie als Ursache der bei denobob Mäusen festgestellten Erhöhung der Sulfatinkorporation auszuschließen. Bei Kontrollundobob-Mäusen war die Glucokinaseaktivität, nicht aber diejenige der Hexokinase erhöht. Die Aktivitätssteigerung der Glucokinase war bei denobob Mäusen deutlich ausgeprägter und es wird deshalb angenommen, daß die Leberzellen derobob Tiere nicht insulinresistent sind.
    Notes: Summary The cause of the pronounced insulin resistance of the hereditary obese-hyperglycemic syndrome in mice (obob) is so far unknown. To evaluate whether growth hormone (GH) is of pathogenetic significance in this context thein vivo incorporation of sulfate into costal cartilage was measured in obese-hyperglycemic mice and their lean littermates at various ages. It was found that a) GH administration raised the sulfation activity of the costal cartilage in both types of mice; b) the hormone further increased the insulin resistance of the obesehyperglycemic animals; c) the sulfate incorporation of the obese mice was considerably elevated after 1 month of age and remained high until the age of about 10 months. In 17 months old animals it had returned to a level similar to that of the lean littermates. In addition, the epiphyseal width of the tibia was increased in the obese mice. Since it was not clear whether the increased rate of sulfate in corporation was due to an elevated endogenous GH activity and/or the high serum insulin levels prevailing in the obese mice at this period of life a study of the pituitary morphology was carried out. The lack of obvious structural or quantitative differences between the pituitary alpha cells of the lean and obese mice did not exclude the possibility that the elevated sulfation activity was caused by the high serum insulin levels rather than an increased circulating GH activity. — Glucokinase activity, characterized by a highK m value, was found in the livers of both lean and obese mice. A significant elevation of this enzyme activity, but not of the hexokinase activity, in the obese mice strongly suggests that the insulin resistance does not extend to the liver cells in the obese-hyperglycemic syndrome.

    Notes: Summary We have investigated the association of a family history of diabetes with glucose tolerance in a population of Swedish men. All men 35–54 years of age in 1992 and living in four different local municipalities of the outer Stockholm area were screened by questionnaire. From 10 236 completed questionnaires 1622 men, selected for presence of such a history but without known diabetes, as well as 1507 men without a family history underwent an oral glucose tolerance test. Diabetes (2 h-plasma glucose levels 〉 11.0 mmol/l) was detected in 55 and impaired glucose tolerance (plasma glucose levels 7.8–11.0 mmol/l) in 172 subjects. The odds ratio of diabetes, associated with a family history, was 4.1, confidence interval 2.1–8.3 and for impaired glucose tolerance 1.6, confidence interval 1.2–2.3. Influence of a family history was measurable also within the range of normal 2-h glucose concentrations: compared to 2-h glucose levels 〈 3.8 mmol/l; the odds ratio associated with a family history was 1.4, confidence interval 1.1–1.7 and 1.3, confidence interval 1.1–1.6 for concentrations 4.8–5.7 mmol/l and 5.8–7.7 mmol/l respectively. The odds ratio of diabetes and impaired glucose tolerance among men with a family history increased with number and closeness of relatives with diabetes but was not affected by the gender of the family member. Overweight (BMI 〉 25.0 kg/m2) increased the odds ratio of diabetes in subjects with a family history, the odds ratio being 24, confidence interval 3–177, when both conditions were present. In subjects with Type II (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus discovered during the investigation, the presence of a family history of diabetes was associated with decreased insulin secretion rather than insulin resistance as assessed by fasting insulin, homeostasis model assessment, and the 2-h insulin response to the oral glucose tolerance test. We conclude that a family history of diabetes strongly but independently of gender associates with decreased glucose tolerance. Furthermore, the results are compatible with a major role for low insulin secretion in the diabetogenic influence of a family history of diabetes in middle-aged Swedish men. Lastly, the very high risk for diabetes in middle-aged men with both a family history of diabetes and obesity indicates that such people should, for the purpose of therapeutic intervention, be identified in the general population.
