[Insulin secretion and sensitivity in middle-aged men in the initial stages of type II diabetes mellitus (evaluated by the "minimal model" method].
The objective of the work was to test the minimal model method based on computer evaluation of parameters (blood sugar level, insulin blood level) obtained during the intravenous glucose tolerance test with frequent collection of samples, when examining the insulin glucose homeostasis in patients in the initial stage of type II diabetes. The authors examined a control group of 8 healthy men, mean age 43.6 years, BMI 24.7 and a group of 7 men with type II diabetes, mean age 46.7 years, BMI 31.37. Indexes (phi 1 and phi 2--the first and second stage of insulin secretion, SG-glucose efficiency, SI-insulin sensitivity) were obtained by evaluation of the results, using a programme for a personal computer PC AT. In men of the control group the authors recorded the following values: phi 1 5.80 +/- 1.26 microU/ml x min/mg/dl, phi 2 6.43 +/- 5.15 microU/ml x min-2/mg/dl, SG 0.016 +/- 0.010 min-2. Diabetic patients were divided with a regard to the first stage of insulin secretion into two groups: the first one (n = 4) comprises those where the first stage is minimal (phi 1 = 0.80 +/- 0.68 microU/ml x min/mg/dl, phi 2 = 33.41 +/- 19.06 microU/ml x min-2/mg/dl, in the second group are those (n = 3) where the first stage of insulin secretion is maintained phi (1 12.23 +/- 5.51 microU/ml x min-2/mg/dl, phi 2 7.77 +/- 4.98 microU/ml x min-2/mg/dl). The second stage of insulin secretion in subjects of the first group is, as compared with controls, significantly higher (p < 0.05).
