ABSTRACT: Using the hyperglycemic and euglycemic clamp, we demonstrated impaired ?-cell function in obese youth with increasing dysglycemia. Herein we describe oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT)-modeled ?-cell function and incretin effect in obese adolescents spanning the range of glucose tolerance. ?-Cell function parameters were derived from established mathematical models yielding ?-cell glucose sensitivity (?CGS), rate sensitivity, and insulin sensitivity in 255 obese adolescents (173 with normal glucose tolerance [NGT], 48 with impaired glucose tolerance [IGT], and 34 with type 2 diabetes [T2D]). The incretin effect was calculated as the ratio of the OGTT-?CGS to the 2-h hyperglycemic clamp-?CGS. Incretin and glucagon concentrations were measured during the OGTT. Compared with NGT, ?CGS was 30 and 65% lower in youth with IGT and T2D, respectively; rate sensitivity was 40% lower in T2D. Youth with IGT or T2D had 32 and 38% reduced incretin effect compared with NGT in the face of similar changes in GLP-1 and glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide (GIP) in response to oral glucose. We conclude that glucose sensitivity deteriorates progressively in obese youth across the spectrum of glucose tolerance in association with impairment in incretin effect without reduction in GLP-1 or GIP, similar to that seen in adult dysglycemia.
