Insulin sensitivity was studied using the euglycemic insulin clamp technique in 5 female patients with anorexia nervosa and 4 females with bulimia. The results were compared with those of 15 male patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Euglycemic insulin clamp is performed for 2 h using the Biostator, during which time insulin was infused at a rate of 0.77 mU kg-1 min-1. Fasting plasma glucose and immunoreactive insulin tended to be lower in patients with anorexia nervosa than in those with bulimia (69.8 +/- 6.7 vs 75.9 +/- 7.7 mg/dl, and 5.9 +/- 2.0 vs 9.8 +/- 3.4 U/ml). The mean metabolic clearance rate (MCR) was 9.2 +/- 3.9 ml kg-1 min-1 for patients with anorexia nervosa, 5.1 +/- 2.2 ml kg-1 min-1 for patients with bulimia, and 3.8 +/- 0.3 ml kg-1 min-1 for patients with diabetes mellitus. However, one anorectic had a significantly high MCR. One anorectic and 3 bulimics had a significantly low MCR. These results suggest that insulin sensitivity varied in patients with anorexia nervosa, whereas it tended to decrease in some patients with bulimia but not to the same degree as in patients with diabetes mellitus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007328 Insulin A 51-amino acid pancreatic hormone that plays a major role in the regulation of glucose metabolism, directly by suppressing endogenous glucose production (GLYCOGENOLYSIS; GLUCONEOGENESIS) and indirectly by suppressing GLUCAGON secretion and LIPOLYSIS. Native insulin is a globular protein comprised of a zinc-coordinated hexamer. Each insulin monomer containing two chains, A (21 residues) and B (30 residues), linked by two disulfide bonds. Insulin is used as a drug to control insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DIABETES MELLITUS, TYPE 1).

D011972 Receptor, Insulin A cell surface receptor for INSULIN. It comprises a tetramer of two alpha and two beta subunits which are derived from cleavage of a single precursor protein. The receptor contains an intrinsic TYROSINE KINASE domain that is located within the beta subunit. Activation of the receptor by INSULIN results in numerous metabolic changes including increased uptake of GLUCOSE into the liver, muscle, and ADIPOSE TISSUE.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.

D000856 Anorexia Nervosa An eating disorder that is characterized by the lack or loss of APPETITE, known as ANOREXIA. Other features include excess fear of becoming OVERWEIGHT; BODY IMAGE disturbance; significant WEIGHT LOSS; refusal to maintain minimal normal weight; and AMENORRHEA. This disorder occurs most frequently in adolescent females. (APA, Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms, 1994) Anorexia Nervosas,Nervosa, Anorexia,Nervosas, Anorexia
