Objective: To compare the American Diabetes Association (ADA) fasting glucose and the World Health Organization (WHO) oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) criteria for diagnosing diabetes and detecting people at increased risk for cardiovascular disease (CVD).Research Design and Methods: Study subjects were 596 Japanese-Americans. Fasting insulin, lipids, and C-peptide levels; systolic and diastolic blood pressures (BPs); BMI (kg/m2); and total and intra-abdominal body fat distribution by computed tomography (CT) were measured. Study subjects were categorized by ADA criteria as having normal fasting glucose (NFG), impaired fasting glucose (IFG), and diabetic fasting glucose and by WHO criteria for a 75-g OGTT as having normal glucose tolerance (NGT), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT), and diabetic glucose tolerance (DGT).Results: Of 503 patients with NFG, 176 had IGT and 20 had DGT These patients had worse CVD risk factors than those with NGT . The mean values for NGT, IGT, and DGT, respectively, and analysis of covariance P values, adjusted for age and sex, are as follows; intra-abdominal fat area by CT 69.7, 95.0, and 101.1 cm2 (P < 0.0001); total CT fat area 437.7, 523.3, and 489.8 cm2 (P < 0.0001); fasting triglycerides 1.40, 1.77, and 1.74 mmol/l (P = 0.002); fasting HDL cholesterol 1.56, 1.50, and 1.49 mmol/l (P = 0.02); C-peptide 0.80, 0.90, 0.95 nmol/l (P = 0.002); systolic BP 124.9, 132.4, and 136.9 mmHg (P = 0.0035); diastolic BP 74.8, 77.7, and 78.2 mmHg (P = 0.01).Conclusions: NFG patients who had IGT or DGT had more intra-abdominal fat and total adiposity; higher insulin, C-peptide, and triglyceride levels; lower HDL cholesterol levels; and higher BPs than those with NGT. Classification by fasting glucose misses many Japanese-Americans with abnormal glucose tolerance and less favorable cardiovascular risk profiles. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

AMYLOIDOSIS ,INSULIN ,GLUCOSE - Abstract
Islet amyloid is a characteristic feature of type 2 diabetes. Its major component is the normal beta-cell secretory product amylin, or islet amyloid polypeptide (IAPP). To determine whether increased or disproportionate release of amylin may explain the propensity for amyloid deposition in type 2 diabetes, we measured plasma amylin-like immunoreactivity (ALI) and immunoreactive insulin (IRI) release in response to an oral glucose load in 94 Japanese-American subjects with normal glucose tolerance (NGT; n=56), impaired glucose tolerance (IGT; n=10), and type 2 diabetes (n=28) as defined by World Health Organization criteria. The incremental increase in ALI, IRI, and glucose (G) at 30 min after oral glucose ingestion was used to calculate deltaALI/deltaG and deltaIRI/deltaG as measures of beta-cell function. Overall glucose metabolism was assessed as the incremental glucose area (glucose AUC) during the 2 h of the oral glucose tolerance test. As expected, plasma glucose concentrations at both fasting (NGT, 5.0+/-0.4; IGT, 5.5+/-0.1; type 2 diabetes, 6.2+/-0.3 mmol/l; P < 0.0001) and 2 h (NGT, 6.7+/-0.1; IGT, 9.4+/-0.3; type 2 diabetes, 13.2 +/-0.5 mmol/l; P < 0.0001) were elevated in individuals with IGT and type 2 diabetes. In response to glucose ingestion, plasma IRI and ALI increased in all subjects, but these increments were lower in individuals with reduced glucose tolerance, as reflected in the deltaIRI/deltaG (NGT, 119+/-10.3; IGT, 60.7+/-7.1; type 2 diabetes, 49.7 +/-5.4 pmol/l; P < 0.0001) and deltaALI/deltaG (NGT, 2.6+/-0.2; IGT, 1.8+/-0.3; type 2 diabetes, 1.2+/-0.1 pmol/l; P < 0.0001). Moreover, these reductions in the 30-min incremental ALI and IRI responses were proportionate such that the molar ratio of ALI to IRI was not different among the three groups (NGT, 2.6+/-0.2; IGT, 2.9 +/-0.3; type 2 diabetes, 2.9+/-0.3%; NS). Further, the relationship between beta-cell function, measured as either deltaIRI/deltaG or deltaALI/deltaG, and glucose metabolism, assessed as glucose AUC, was nonlinear and inverse in nature, with r2 values of 0.38 (P < 0.0001) and 0.33 (P < 0.0001), respectively. We conclude that the reduced beta-cell function of IGT and type 2 diabetes includes proportionate reductions in both IRI and ALI release. Thus, it is unlikely that the development of islet amyloid in type 2 diabetes is the result of increased release of ALI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
