Article Synopsis
- The study investigated how a family history of diabetes affects blood sugar response, insulin secretion, and sensitivity in young Japanese individuals who normally maintain healthy glucose levels.
- Researchers measured various health indicators, including plasma glucose and insulin levels during a glucose tolerance test, and used clustering analysis to categorize participants based on their glucose tolerance.
- Findings revealed that those with a diabetic family history had worse glucose tolerance and insulin response during the test, highlighting the influence of genetic factors on metabolic health even among those with normal glucose levels.

Article Synopsis
- This study aimed to explore the relationship between arterial stiffness and levels of plasma glucose, insulin, and proinsulin during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in young Japanese individuals.
- The researchers analyzed data from 1,193 subjects under 40 with normal glucose tolerance or mild hyperglycemia, measuring how these levels varied over time and comparing them based on arterial stiffness.
- Results indicated that higher levels of insulin (IRI) and proinsulin were associated with greater arterial stiffness, with insulin's effects being more significant than those of proinsulin, suggesting that higher insulin responses may contribute to arterial stiffness rather than reduced insulin sensitivity.
