Contribution to glucose tolerance of insulin-independent vs. insulin-dependent mechanisms in mice

Giovanni Pacini1, Karl Thomaseth1, and Bo Ahrén2

To study the contributions of insulin-dependent vs. insulin-independent mechanisms to intravenous glucose tolerance (KG), 475 experiments in mice were performed. An intravenous glucose bolus was given either alone or with exogenous insulin or with substances modulating insulin secretion and sensitivity. Seven samples were taken over 50 min. Insulin [suprabasal area under the curve (Delta AUCins)] ranged from 0 to 100 mU · ml-1 · 50 min. After validation against the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp, the minimal model of net glucose disappearance was exploited to analyze glucose and insulin concentrations to measure the action of glucose per se independent of dynamic insulin (SG) and the combined effect of insulin sensitivity (SI) and secretion. Sensitivity analysis showed that insulin [through disposition index (DI)] contributed to glucose tolerance by 29 ± 4% in normal conditions. In conditions of elevated hyperinsulinemia, contribution by insulin increased on average to 69%. KG correlated with DI but was saturated for Delta AUCins above 15 mU · ml-1 · 50 min. Insulin sensitivity related to Delta AUCins in a hyperbolic manner, whereas SG did not correlate with the insulin peak in the physiological range. Thus glucose tolerance in vivo is largely mediated by mechanisms unrelated to dynamic insulin and saturates with high insulin.
