Article Synopsis
- Regional dietary patterns in Japan may influence insulin response and sensitivity, but this connection has not been thoroughly tested yet.
- A study compared insulin responses during an oral glucose tolerance test among participants from four Japanese regions (Fukushima, Nagano, Tokushima, and Okinawa) with normal glucose tolerance.
- The findings revealed significant regional differences in insulin response despite similar glucose levels, suggesting that dietary factors, rather than just body size, impact insulin sensitivity and secretion.
