Protocol for a 1-year randomised, controlled, parallel group, open-label trial on the effects and feasibility of time-restricted eating in individuals with type 2 diabetes- The Restricted Eating Time in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes (RESET2) trial.

Aim: Time-restricted eating (TRE) limits the time for food intake to typically 6-10 h/day without other dietary restrictions. The aim of the RESET2 (the REStricted Eating Time in the treatment of type 2 diabetes) trial is to investigate the effects on glycaemic control (HbA) and the feasibility of a 1-year TRE intervention in individuals with overweight/obesity and type 2 diabetes. The aim of the present paper is to describe the protocol for the RESET2 trial.

Glucagon Clearance Is Decreased in Chronic Kidney Disease but Preserved in Liver Cirrhosis.

It is not completely clear which organs are responsible for glucagon elimination in humans, and disturbances in the elimination of glucagon could contribute to the hyperglucagonemia observed in chronic liver disease and chronic kidney disease (CKD). Here, we evaluated kinetics and metabolic effects of exogenous glucagon in individuals with stage 4 CKD (n = 16), individuals with Child-Pugh A-C cirrhosis (n = 16), and matched control individuals (n = 16), before, during, and after a 60-min glucagon infusion (4 ng/kg/min). Individuals with CKD exhibited a significantly lower mean metabolic clearance rate of glucagon (14.

The effect of exogenous glucagon on circulating amino acids in individuals with and without type 2 diabetes and obesity.

Objective: In obesity and type 2 diabetes, hyperglucagonaemia may be caused by elevated levels of glucagonotropic amino acids due to hepatic glucagon resistance at the level of amino acid turnover. Here, we investigated the effect of exogenous glucagon on circulating amino acids in obese and non-obese individuals with and without type 2 diabetes.

Design: This was a post hoc analysis in a glucagon infusion study performed in individuals with type 2 diabetes (n = 16) and in age, sex, and body mass index-matched control individuals without diabetes (n = 16).

An extended minimal model of OGTT: estimation of α- and β-cell dysfunction, insulin resistance, and the incretin effect.

Loss of insulin sensitivity, α- and β-cell dysfunction, and impairment in incretin effect have all been implicated in the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes (T2D). Parsimonious mathematical models are useful in quantifying parameters related to the pathophysiology of T2D. Here, we extend the minimum model developed to describe the glucose-insulin-glucagon dynamics in the isoglycemic intravenous glucose infusion (IIGI) experiment to the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

Signs of Glucagon Resistance After a 2-Week Hypercaloric Diet Intervention.

Context: Hyperglucagonemia is observed in individuals with obesity and contributes to the hyperglycemia of patients with type 2 diabetes. Hyperglucagonemia may develop due to steatosis-induced hepatic glucagon resistance resulting in impaired hepatic amino acid turnover and ensuing elevations of circulating glucagonotropic amino acids.

Objective: We evaluated whether glucagon resistance could be induced in healthy individuals by a hypercaloric diet intervention designed to increase hepatic fat content.
