摘要:
ABSTRACT:Twenty‐seven normal volunteers whose ages ranged from 22 to 67 (mean, 37 years) were given intravenous glucose tolerance tests (IVGTT). Age was not correlated with the glucose disposal rate constant (KG), incremental insulin secretion (ΔI), or the “insulinogenic index (ΔI/ΔG). The volunteers were divided into three age groups: 1) mean age 25 years, 2) mean age 42 years, and 3) mean age 62 years. Groups 2 and 3 did not differ from Group 1 with respect to the mean level of fasting plasma glucose, KG, or ΔI/AG. Group 2 (but not Group 3) had a greater mean ΔI than Group 1, and Group 3 (but not Group 2) had a higher mean fasting insulin concentration than Group 1. No significant deterioration was detected in the intravenous glucose tolerance of healthy volunteers up to age 67. This may be attributable to the previously described feed‐back system that calibrates the pancreatic beta‐cell response according to the insulin sensitivity of the periph
