ABSTRACT
AIMS:
To study the integrative impact of macronutrients on postprandial glycaemia, ß-cell function, glucagon and incretin hormones in humans.METHODS:
Macronutrients were ingested alone (glucose 330 kcal, protein 110 kcal or fat 110 kcal) or together (550 kcal) by healthy subjects (n = 18) and by subjects with drug-naïve type 2 diabetes (T2D; n = 18). ß-cell function and insulin clearance were estimated by modelling glucose, insulin and C-peptide data. Secretion of glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) were measured, and paracetamol was administered to estimate gastric emptying.RESULTS:
In both groups, the mixed-meal challenge diminished glucose excursion compared with glucose challenge alone, and insulin levels, but not C-peptide levels, rose more than after the mixed meal than after glucose alone. ß-cell function was augmented, insulin clearance was reduced and glucagon levels were higher after the mixed meal compared with glucose alone. GLP-1 and GIP levels increased after all challenges and GIP secretion was markedly higher after the mixed meal than after glucose alone. The appearance of paracetamol was delayed after the mixed-meal challenge compared with glucose alone.CONCLUSIONS:
Adding protein and fat macronutrients to glucose in a mixed meal diminished glucose excursion. This occurred in association with increased ß-cell function, reduced insulin clearance, delayed gastric emptying and augmented glucagon and GIP secretion. This suggests that the macronutrient composition regulates glycaemia through both islet and extra-islet mechanisms in both healthy subjects and in subjects with T2D.Key words
