Peripheral Glucose Uptake in Young Men with Myocardial Infarction

Summary Forearm glucose uptake (FGU) was studied during 100 g oral glucose tolerance tests (GTT) in nonobese, nondiabetic men who had suffered a myocardial infarction (MI) at or before the age of 40, and the results compared with the response in age-matched normal men. In the MI group the rise in bo...

Zusammenfassung:Summary Forearm glucose uptake (FGU) was studied during 100 g oral glucose tolerance tests (GTT) in nonobese, nondiabetic men who had suffered a myocardial infarction (MI) at or before the age of 40, and the results compared with the response in age-matched normal men. In the MI group the rise in both glucose and insulin concentrations after glucose loading was similar to that in normal subjects, although in the former, peak levels tended to be slightly higher. Concomitant FGU, however, was significantly greater in the MI group than in control subjects in the period 0-90 min and in the test as a whole (0-180 min). The results show that at least in some nondiabetics suffering MI at an early age hyperinsulinism is not a feature and peripheral tissue sensitivity is increased.
