ListOutcomeTime frameDescription
PrimaryEffect on Functional Beta-cell Mass as Determined by Change in ß-cell Secretory Capacity at 6 Months (μU/ml)Baseline and 6 months
The acute insulin response to arginine (AIRarg) performed during the 340mg/dl glucose clamp allows for estimation of the the beta-cell secretory capacity (AIRmax) or functional beta-cell mass. Changes from baseline to 6 months of AIRmax were compared across groups
PrimaryEffect on Functional Beta-cell Mass as Determined by Change in ß-cell Secretory Capacity at 6 Months (pg/mL)Baseline and 6 monthsAGRmin is performed during the 340mg/dl glucose clamp allows for estimation of the minimum alpha-cell glucagon secretion. Changes from baseline to 6 months of AGRmin were compared across groups.
SecondaryChange in Acute Insulin Response to Arginine. (AIRarg)Baseline and 6 months
The changes in B-cell insulin secretion, Acute Insulin Response to arginine (AIRarg) after 6 months were compared to baseline AIRarg for each group. Listed below are AIRarg at baseline and 6 months for each group.
SecondaryInsulin Sensitivity at Baseline and 6 MonthsBaseline and 6 months
Insulin sensitivity (M/I) was determined by dividing the mean glucose infusion rate required during the 230 mg/dL glucose clamp (M) by the mean prestimulus insulin level (I) between 40 and 45 min of the glucose infusion The mean difference after 6 months in insulin sensitivity (M/I) were compared
SecondaryPG 50 (the Plasma Glucose Level at Which Half-maximal Insulin Secretion is Achieved During the Glucose-potentiated Arginine Test) at Baseline and 6 MonthsBaseline and 6 months
Between ∼60 and 250 mg/dL, the magnitude of AIRarg is a linear function of the plasma glucose level, so the difference in AIRarg at fasting and 230 mg/dL glucose levels divided by the difference in plasma glucose (ΔAIRarg/ΔPG) gives the glucose-potentiation slope (GPS) (8,24-26). Using the y-intercept (b) from the line created by these two points, the plasma glucose level at which half-maximal insulin secretion is achieved (PG50) is derived from solving the equation 1/2 (AIRmax) = (GPS · PG50) + b, and provides a measure of β-cell sensitivity to glucose The mean difference after 6 months in PG 50 were compared. Listed below are the PG50 values at baseline and 6 months.
