title: Metabolic effects of weight reduction in obese diabetics and nondiabetics.
abstract: A weight loss of about 10 kg was acheived by means of individual periods of total fasting, hypocaloric diets and physical activity in three groups of patients: maturity-onset diabetics, patients with pathological OGTT and overweight persons with normal OGTT. Adipocyte volume decreased in all groups, glucose tolerance improved. IRI curves showed a significant overall lowering and FFA concentrations during OGTT were dimished.
