- The study investigates the link between family history of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and reduced physical fitness, specifically VO(2max), in healthy young adults.
- Participants included individuals with first-degree relatives (FDR) or second-degree relatives with T2DM, as well as controls without a family history, with all groups having similar body measurements and activity levels.
- Results showed that FDRs had significantly lower VO(2max) compared to controls, but family history did not affect insulin sensitivity when accounting for various factors.
Objective: This study addressed whether acute infusion of glimepiride influences glucose metabolism independent of its effect on insulin secretion.
Research Design And Methods: Ten healthy, glucose-tolerant but insulin-resistant probands were subjected to a placebo-controlled, double-blind, cross-over study. Each individual received infusions of either 0.
