    Notes: Summary Serum lipoproteins and the heparin-releasable lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activity of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle were measured in 36 untreated obese patients with Type 2 (insulin-independent) diabetes and the values were compared with those of non-diabetic subjects of similar age, sex and relative body weight. In diabetic men, the LPL activity of adipose tissue was significantly reduced when expressed per tissue weight or per fat cell (p〈0.01). Diabetic females had slightly but not significantly lower LPL activity in adipose tissue than the non-diabetic females. The muscle LPL activity was similar in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects of both sexes. When the diabetic men were classified according to fasting blood glucose, the patients with high glucose levels had lower adipose tissue LPL activity than those with moderate hyperglycaemia. In both diabetic and non-diabetic subjects, there was a significant positive correlation between HDL cholesterol concentrations and adipose tissue LPL activity. It is concluded that Type 2 diabetes influences adipose tissue LPL activity and plasma lipoprotein concentrations and that this effect is superimposed on the similar changes produced by obesity alone.

    Notes: Summary In order to assess the short-term effects of hyperinsulinaemia and hyperglycaemia on adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity and on serum lipoproteins, we measured these variables in ten normal subjects during euglycaemic and hyperglycaemic hyperinsulinaemic clamps. The mean steady-state plasma glucose and insulin concentrations, respectively, were 4.7 mmol/l and 101 mU/l during euglycaemic moderate-insulin clamp, 4.9 mmol/l and 565 mU/l during euglycaemic high-insulin clamp, and 8.8 mmol/l and 148 mU/l during hyperglycaemic clamp. Saline infusion was used as control. The adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity rose significantly over 5 h during high-insulin clamp (p〈0.01) and during hyperglycaemic clamp (p〈0.05), but did not change during the moderate-insulin clamp. The magnitude of change of lipoprotein lipase activity from baseline (either rise or fall) was inversely related to the preclamp activity during euglycaemic moderate-insulin clamp (r= -0.67), during hyperglycaemic clamp (r= -0.68) and during infusion of saline (r= -0.75, p〈0.05). Total serum triglyceride concentration decreased significantly during all clamp studies compared with the control experiment. This change was mainly accounted for by a decrease of VLDL triglyceride. The LDL cholesterol level fell by an average of 5% (p〈0.05) during the high-insulin clamp and by 10% (p〈0.05) during the hyperglycaemic clamp. The HDL cholesterol level did not change significantly. It is concluded that adipose tissue lipoprotein lipase activity in man is increased by physiological insulin levels during hyperglycaemia and also by supraphysiological insulin levels during euglycaemia, but is not influenced by physiological hyperinsulinaemia without hyperglycaemia. Low basal lipoprotein lipase activity is more sensitive to insulin-glucose stimulation than primarily high lipoprotein lipase activity. Acute hyperinsulinaemia decreases VLDL triglyceride and LDL cholesterol concentrations.

    Notes: Abstract Aims/hypothesis. To examine whether the HDL-cholesterol:apoA-I + apoA-II ratio and the ɛ2 allele are related to albuminuria at baseline and whether they are risk factors for progression of albuminuria in a cohort study of patients with Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus.¶Methods. At baseline, the study cohort comprised 617 patients, aged 15–60 years, from seven European diabetic centres of the EURODIAB study. Albumin excretion rate, measured in a central laboratory, was categorised as normoalbuminuria at 20 μg/min or less, microalbuminuria between 20 and 200 μg/min or macroalbuminuria at 200 μg/min or over. Of the 250 patients who were normoalbuminuric at baseline and had follow-up albuminuria measurements, 34 patients were defined as early progressors.¶Results. At baseline, the mean HDL-cholesterol:apoA-I + apoA-II ratio was lower in macroalbuminuric patients (0.79, 95 % CI:0.74–0.83) compared with normoalbuminuric (0.88, 95 % CI:0.87–0.90) patients (p = 0.0002, adjusted for age and sex). At follow-up, 34 patients who progressed from normoalbuminuria to microalbuminuria or macroalbuminuria also had a slightly lower baseline ratio (0.85, 95 % CI:0.80–0.89) than those 216 who remained normoalbuminuric (0.89, 95 % CI:0.87–0.92) (adjusted p = 0.08). Neither of these relations were independent of LDL-cholesterol or fasting triglyceride. There was no association of the ɛ2 allele with albuminuria either at baseline (OR = 1.4, 95 % CI:0.7–2.8) or with progression of albuminuria (OR = 0.4, 95 % CI:0.1–3.5).¶Conclusion/interpretation. There is an inverse relation of HDL-cholesterol:apoA-I + apoA-II ratio with albuminuria at baseline. This lower ratio in microalbuminuric or macroalbuminuric patients could contribute to the increased risk of cardiovascular disease associated with nephropathy. There is weak evidence that HDL-composition is a risk factor for progression of albuminuria and no association of the ɛ2 allele with diabetic nephropathy. [Diabetologia 2000 43: 1353–1359]

    Notes: Summary Oral glucose tolerance, insulin binding to erythrocyte receptors, serum lipids, and lipoproteins, and lipoprotein lipase activities of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle were measured in nine body builders (relative body weight (RBW) 118±4%), eight weight-matched (RBW 120±5%) and seven normal-weight controls (RBW 111±3%). The body builders had 50% higher relative muscle mass of body weight (% muscle) and 50% smaller relative body fat content (% fat) than the two other groups (P〈0.005). Maximal aerobic power was comparable in the three groups. In the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), blood glucose levels, and plasma insulin levels were lower (P〈0.05) in the body builders than in weight-matched controls. Insulin binding to erythrocytes was similar in each group. On the basis of multiple linear regression analysis, 87% of the variation in plasma insulin response could be explained by body composition (% muscle and % fat) and $$V_{O_2 \max }$$ . Plasma total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol, and very low-density lipoprotein (VLDL) triglyceride concentrations were significantly lower in the body builders than in weight-matched controls. In comparison with the normal-weight group, the body builders had a lower total cholesterol level. High density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, its subfractions (HDL2 and HDL3 cholesterol) and lipoprotein lipase (LPL) activities of adipose tissue and skeletal muscle were comparable in all three groups. Partial correlation analysis showed a positive relationship between plasma total triglyceride, total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol on the other hand and the % fat on the other. The results indicate that a shift in body composition from the adipose to the muscular type is associated with 1) lower glucose and insulin levels during the OGTT and 2) decrease in total and VLDL triglyceride and in total and LDL cholesterol levels but unchanged HDL cholesterol level. Thus, body builders are characterized by some metabolic features which decrease the risk of coronary heart disease. In contrast to aerobic training, body building does not influence HDL or its subfractions.
