African-American (AA) children are hyperinsulinemic and insulin resistant compared with American White (AW) children. This study investigated 1) whether AA/AW differences in insulinemia are associated with differences in insulin clearance; 2) whether dietary patterns, mainly carbohydrate and fat intake, play a role; and 3) whether the quantitative relationship between insulin sensitivity and secretion is similar between AA and AW children. Forty-four prepubertal children (22 AA and 22 AW) with comparable body composition and visceral adiposity were studied. All underwent a 3-h hyperinsulinemic (40 mU · m-2 · min-1)-euglycemic clamp to calculate insulin sensitivity and insulin clearance and a 2-h hyperglycemic clamp (12.5 mmol/l) to assess first- and second-phase insulin responses. Twenty-four-hour food recalls were analyzed for macronutrient intake. Insulin clearance (19.5 ± 0.7 vs. 22.9 ± 1.1 ml · min-1 · kg-1 fat-free mass [FFM]; P = 0.011) and insulin sensitivity were lower in AA versus AW children (14.8 ± 1.0 vs. 18.9 ± 1.4 µmol · min-1 · kg-1 FFM; P = 0.021). Both insulin clearance and insulin sensitivity correlated inversely with dietary fat/carbohydrate ratio, which was higher in AA than in white children. Fasting C-peptide and insulin were higher in AA children with no difference in proinsulin levels. First- and second-phase insulin concentrations and glucose disposition index (insulin sensitivity x first-phase insulin) were higher in AA than in white children (12.8 ± 2.1 vs. 7.2 ± 0.6 µmol · min-1 · kg-1 FFM; P = 0.019). In conclusion, the hyperinsulinemia observed in AA children is due to both lower insulin clearance and higher insulin secretion compared with their white peers. The quantitative relationship between insulin secretion and sensitivity is upregulated in AA children. This suggests that increased insulin secretion in AA children is not merely a compensatory response to lower insulin sensitivity. Dietary factors may have a role. Additional studies are needed to determine whether metabolic/nutritional factors, possibly mediated through free fatty acids, may play a role in the hyperinsulinism observed in AA children.
