Insulin secretion and erythrocyte insulin binding in Cape coloured non-obese non-insulin-dependent diabetes in the young: effects of sulphonylurea therapy. 1986

M Sandler

Studies were performed on 10 Cape coloured non-obese NIDDY (non-insulin-dependent diabetes in the young) patients and 6 controls of similar age, sex and weight. Fasting plasma glucose, glucose assimilation rate, insulin secretion in response to an intravenous glucose tolerance test and percentage binding of radiolabelled 125I-insulin to red blood cells were assessed in all patients before and after one month of glibenclamide treatment. Both insulin secretion (P less than 0.01) and erythrocyte insulin receptor binding (P less than 0.01) were significantly reduced when compared to controls. Although glibenclamide markedly improved the second phase of insulin secretion, the intravenous glucose tolerance test stimulated the total insulin secretion to only 40% of control values. The percentage binding of 125I-insulin to red cell receptors improved considerably with therapy, and did not differ significantly from that of control values.

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).

D008297 Male Males
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.
