5. Insulin Resistance
Individuals destined to develop type 2 DM
inherit a set of genes from their parents that
make their tissues resistant to insulin.
The epidemic of diabetes that has enveloped
westernized countries is related to the epidemic
of obesity and physical inactivity.
DeFronzo R A Diabetes 2009;58:773-795
6. Euglycemic Hyperinsulinemic Clamp
A prospective study carried out by Felber and colleages in Lausanne,
Switzerland ( 1990 ).
All subjects had a euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp to measure tissue
sensitivity to insulin and OGTT to provide an overall measure of glucose
homeostasis and β-cell function.
The mean plasma glucose and insulin concentration during OGTT were 115
mg/dl and 62 μg/ml, while the mean rate of insulin stimulated glucose
disposal (measured with a 40 mU/m² per min euglycemic insulin clamp )
was 265 mg/m² per minute.
Obesity was associated with 29% decline in insulin sensitivity, but glucose
tolerance remained perfectly normal….With time the obese NGT
individuals progressed to IGT in association with a further 28% reduction in
insulin sensitivity.
7. β-cell fails to compensate
insulin resistance
With time the β-cells cannot continue to produce these very
large amounts of insulin and the obese IGT individuals
progresses to overt diabetes.
The decline in glucose tolerance is associated with a marked
decrease in insulin secretion without further change in insulin
sensitivity.
8. β-cell function
Although the plasma insulin response to the development of insulin
resistance typically increased during the nature history of type 2 dm, this
does not mean that the β-cell is functioning normally.
In SAM and VAGES studies, simply measuring the plasma insulin
response to a glucose challenge does not provide a valid index of β-cell
function.
The β-cell responds to an increment in glucose (ΔG )with an increment in
insulin (ΔI ). Thus the better measure of β-cell function is ΔI/ΔG.
However, the β-cell also is very keenly aware of the body’s sensitivity to
insulin and adjusts its secretion of insulin to maintain normoglycemia.
Thus, the gold standard for measuring β-cell function is the insulin
secretion/insulin sensitivity (ΔI/ΔG ÷IR ).

Genes, clusters in families.
– Type 2 diabetes runs in families. In part, this tendency is due to children learning bad
habits — eating a poor diet, not exercising — from their parents. But there is also a
genetic basis. In general, if you have type 2 diabetes, the risk of your child getting
diabetes is 1 in 7 if you were diagnosed before age 50 and 1 in 13 if you were diagnosed
after age 50. Some scientists believe that a child's risk is greater when the parent with
type 2 diabetes is the mother. If both you and your partner have type 2 diabetes, your
child's risk is about 1 in 2. ( from ADA )
– TCF7L2, T-allele of SNP rs7903146 is associated with impaired insulin secretion in vivo
and reduced responsiveness to GLP-1. TCF7L2 encodes for a transcription factor
involved in Wnt signaling, which plays a role in the regulation of β cell proliferation and
insulin secretion.
Insulin Resistance: the precise mechanism remains unknown.
17. Lipotoxicity
Excess deposition of fat ( LC-fatty acyl CoAs, diacylgycerol,
and ceramide ) in liver and muscle has been shown to cause
insulin resistance; deposition of fat in the β cell leads to
impaired insulin secretion and β cell failure.
Elevated plasma FFA levels impair insulin secretion, and this
has been referred to as lipotoxicity.
18. Effect of physiological elevation (48 h) in the plasma FFA concentration
(brought about by lipid infusion) on plasma C-peptide concentration (left)
and insulin secretory response (deconvolution of the palsma C-peptide
curve) (right) in offspring of two type 2 diabetic parents
Impaired first and second phase C-peptide release after intralipid.
Treatment with acipimox ( lower FFA ) improves insulin secretion.

19.
In vitro studies, human pancreas islets were incubated for48h
in the presence of 2mmol/l FFA( oleate-to-palmitate 2:1 ),
insulin secretion , especially the acute insulin response was
markedly reduced. Exposure to FFA caused a marked a
marked inhibition of insulin mRNA expression, glucosestimulated insulin secretion and reduction of islet insulin
content.
PPARr agonist prevented all of these deleterious effects of
FFA.
20. Glucotoxicity
Chronically elevated plasma glucose levels impair β cell function,
and this has been referred to as glucotoxicity.
Rosseti et al: partially pancreatectomized diabetic rats are characterized by
severe defects in both first- and second-phase insulin secretion compared with
control rats. Following treatment with phlorizin, an inhibitor of renal glucose
transport, the plasma glucose profile was normalized, which was associated with
restoration of both first-and second-phases of insulin. 投影片 19
In vitro studies with human islets, similar results.
In rats, elevation of mean day-long plasma glucose concentration
in vivo by as little as 16 mg/dl leads to a marked inhibition of
glucose-stimulated insulin secretion.

24. IAPP
Hypersecretion of islet amyloid polypeptide ( IAPP ), which
is co-secreted in a one to one ratio with insulin, can lead to
progressive β cell failure ( in rodents ).
Chavez and colleagues: 150 baboons, 98% homology with
the human genome. Relative amyloid area inversely
correlates with HOMA- β.
Insulin sensitizers leading to a reduction in insulin secretion
would be expected to preserve β -cell function on a longterm base. Rosiglitazone protect human islets against IAPP
toxicity by a PI-3K dependent pathway.

27. Incretins
GLP-1 and GIP account for 90% of the incretin effect.
In type 2 DM, there is a deficiency of GLP-1 and resistance to the
action of GIP.
The deficiency of GLP-1 can be observed in individuals with IGT
and worsens progressively with progression to T2DM.
Plasma levels of GIP are elevated in T2DM, yet circulating insulin
levels are reduced. This can be interpreted as β-cell resistance to
the stimulatory effect of GIP on insulin secretion.
Tight glycemic control can restore GIP action. Thus β-cell
resistance to GIP is a kind of glucotoxicity.
28. Insulin Resistance in liver
The brain has an obligate need for glucose and is responsible
for~50% of glucose utilization under basal or fasting condition.
The glucose demand is met, most from liver, to lesser extent from
kidney.
During overnight fast, the liver of nondiabetic subjects produces
sugar at the rate of ~2mg/kg per min. In type 2 DM, the rate of
basal HGP is increased , averaging ~2.5 mg/kg per min.
In an average 80 kg person, this amounts to the addition of an
extra 25-30 g of glucose to systemic circulation every night.
The overproduction of glucose by the liver occurs in the presence of
fasting plasma insulin levels that are increased 2.5 to 3.0X,
indicating severe resistance to the suppressive effect of insulin.
29. Basal HGP (left) in control and type 2
diabetic (T2DM) subjects.
DeFronzo R A Diabetes 2009;58:773-795
30. Acceleration of HGP
Increased circulating glucagon levels and enhanced hepatic
sensitivity to glucagon.
Lipotoxicity: leading to increased expression and activity of
phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase ( PEP-CK) and pyruvte
carboxylase ( PC ), the rate limiting enzyme for gluconeogenesis.
Glucotoxicity: leading to increased expression and activity of
glucose-6-phosphatase, the rate limiting enzyme for glucose
escape from liver.
31. Insulin Resistance in Muscle
Original workup: euglycemic insulin clamp, tritiated glucose,
femoral arterial and venous catheterization.
Conclusion: muscle insulin resistance could account for over
85-90% of impairment in total body glucose disposal in type 2
DM subjects. The rate of insulin-stimulated glucose disposal
remains 50% less than in normal control subjects.
Impaired glucose transport and phosphorylation, reduced
glycogen synthesis and decreased glucose oxidation.
32. Insulin-stimulated total body glucose uptake (left) and
insulin-stimulated leg glucose uptake (right) in control
(CON) and type 2 diabetic (T2DM) subjects .
DeFronzo R A Diabetes 2009;58:773-795
33. Insulin Signal Transduction
For insulin to work, it must first bind to and then activate the
insulin receptor by phosphorylating key tyrosine residues on β
chain.
This results in the translocation of insulin receptor
substrate( IRS)-1 to the plasma membrane. This leads to the
activation of PI 3-kinase and Akt, resulting in glucose transport
into the cell, activation of NO synthase with arterial vasodilation
and stimulation of multiple intracellular metabolic processes.
The defect in insulin signaling leads to decreased glucose
transport, impaired release of NO with endothelial
dysfunction…
34. In contrast to the severe defect in IRS-1 activation,
mitogen-activated protein ( MAP) kinase pathway, which
can be activated by Shc, is normally responsive to insulin.
Activation of MAP kinase pathway leads to the activation
of a number of intracellular pathways involved in
inflammation, cellular proliferation and atherosclerosis.
This, in part, explains the strong association between
insulin resistance and atherosclerotic disease in nondiabetics and type 2 diabetics.
35. Relationship between impaired insulin signal
transduction and accelerated atherogenesis in insulinresistant subjects, i.e., type 2 diabetes and obesity

39. Fat cells in type 2 diabetics are resistant to insulin’s antilipolytic
effect, leading to day-long elevation of FFA.
Dysfunctional fat cell produces excessive pro-inflammatory
adipocytokines and indcing insulin resistance; and fails to secrete
normal amounts of insulin-sensitizing adipocytokines such as
adiponectin.
Enlarged fat cells are insulin resistant, and have diminished
capacity to store fat. When capacity is exceeded, lipid “overflow”
into muscle, liver, and β cells.
Lipid can also overflow into arterial vascular smooth muscles,
leading to acceleration of atherosclerosis.

Findings: the increment in insulin secretory rate divided by the
increment in plasma glucose increased more than 2X,
demonstrating a potent stimulatory effect of β -cell function.
The increase in insulin secretion, in concert with a decline in
glucagon release, led to a significant reduction in HGP.

59. Apple tree to SGLT2i
John R. White, Jr., PA, PharmD CLINICAL DIABETES • Volume 28, Number 1, 2010
In 1835, French chemists isolated a substance, phlorizin, from the bark of apple trees. The
compound was bitter in flavor and reminded them of similar extracts from the cinchona and
willow tree and for a time was referred to as the “glycoside from the bark of apple trees.”
Although the best thinking at the time concluded that phlorizin was a reasonable candidate for
the treatment of fevers, infectious disease, and malaria, within 50 years, it was discovered
that high doses of phlorizin caused glucosuria. Ultimately, it was determined that chronic
administration of phlorizin in the canine model produced many of the same symptoms as
observed in human diabetes (glucosuria, polyuria, and weight loss). Thus, the phlorizininduced diabetes animal model was proposed and utilized in the early 1900s ( Now
Streptozotocin ).
During the next several decades, phlorizin continued to be used in trials evaluating renal
physiology. By the early 1970s, research with phlorizin revealed the location (proximal tubule
brush border) of the active-transport system responsible for glucose reabsorption and that
phlorizin had a much higher affinity for these transporters than did glucose.
There was a resurgence of interest in phlorizin in the late 1980s to early 1990s concurrent with
the characterization of SGLTs and the realization of a potential novel mechanism for reducing
hyperglycemia. Animal studies carried out in 90% pancreatectomized diabetic rats
demonstrated that phlorizin-induced glucosuria normalized fasting and postprandial glucose
levels and reversed insulin resistance. Additionally, phlorizin administration was associated
with reversal of first- and second-phase insulin secretory defects in this model
60. Invokana (canagliflozin)
Invokava™, canagliflozin, is a new once daily alternative for the
maintenance treatment of Type 2 diabetes mellitus.
Canagliflozin is the first and only medication in the class of Sodiumglucose co-transporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitor.
Usual dose is 100 mg orally once daily initially
May increase to 300 mg once daily
Max dose of 100 mg daily is recommended for GFR of 45-59 mL/min
Canagliflozin use may result in increased genitial mycotic infections
Canagliflozin may have a place in therapy as a new third-line agent
after metformin and sulfonylurea failure (possibly in front of DPP-IV
inhibitors like sitagliptin).
62. 肚子餓很快吃得很急飽得很慢永遠覺得吃很少
Porte and colleagues: insulin was a powerful appetite suppressor. Even
with compensatory hyperinsulinemia, food intake is increased in obese
subjects and type 2 diabetics. That is to say, insulin resistance in
peripheral tissues also extends to the brain.
Functional MRI to localize areas responsible for impaired insulin
regulation. After glucose ingestion, two hypothalamic areas with
consistent inhibition were noted: VM nuclei and paraventricular nuclei
( appetite regulation center ).
The inhibitory response was reduced in obese, insulin resistant, normal
glucose tolerant subjects. And there was a delay in the time taken to
reach maximal inhibitory response.
