Article Synopsis
  • This study explored the link between autonomic function, indicated by lower heart rate variability (HRV), and beta cell function, assessed during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT), using data from 2,007 participants in The Maastricht Study.
  • Researchers found that lower HRV was significantly correlated with worse overall beta cell response, regardless of sex or glucose metabolism status.
  • The findings suggest that autonomic dysfunction could play a role in beta cell dysfunction, potentially leading to issues with glucose metabolism, such as prediabetes and type 2 diabetes.
