Effects of fatty acids and ketone bodies on basal insulin secretion in type 2 diabetes
G Boden and X Chen
Division of Endocrinology/Diabetes/Metabolism and the General Clinical Research Center, Temple University School of Medicine, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA.
The objective of this study was to assess the role of free fatty acids
(FFAs) as insulin secretagogues in patients with type 2 diabetes. To this
end, basal insulin secretion rates (ISR) in response to acute increases in
plasma FFAs were evaluated in patients with type 2 diabetes and in age- and
weight-matched nondiabetic control subjects during 1) intravenous infusion
of lipid plus heparin (L/H), which stimulated intravascular lipolysis, and
2) the FFA rebound, which followed lowering of plasma FFAs with nicotinic
acid (NA) and was a consequence of increased lipolysis from the subject's
own adipose tissue. At comparable euglycemia, diabetic patients had similar
ISR but higher plasma beta-hydroxybutyrate (beta-OHB) levels during L/H
infusion and higher plasma FFA and beta-OHB levels during the FFA rebound
than nondiabetic control subjects. Correlating ISR with plasma FFA plus
beta-OHB levels showed that in response to the same changes in FFA plus
beta-OHB levels, diabetic patients secreted approximately 30% less insulin
than nondiabetic control subjects. In addition, twice as much insulin was
secreted during L/H infusion as during the FFA rebound in response to the
same FFA/beta-OHB stimulation by both diabetic patients and control
subjects. Glycerol, which was present in the infused lipid (272 mmol/l) did
not affect ISR. We concluded that 1) assessment of FFA effects on ISR
requires consideration of effects on ISR by ketone bodies; 2) ISR responses
to FFA/beta-OHB were defective in patients with type 2 diabetes (partial
beta-cell lipid blindness), but this defect was compensated by elevated
plasma levels of FFAs and ketone bodies; and 3) approximately two times
more insulin was released per unit change in plasma FFA plus beta-OHB
during L/H infusion than during the FFA rebound after NA. The reason for
this remains to be explored.
