Glucose-dependent Insulinotropic Polypeptide (GIP) Resistance and ?-cell Dysfunction Contribute to Hyperglycaemia in Acromegaly.


ABSTRACT: Impaired insulin sensitivity (IS) and ?-cell dysfunction result in hyperglycaemia in patients of acromegaly. However, alterations in incretins and their impact on glucose-insulin homeostasis in these patients still remain elusive. Twenty patients of active acromegaly (10 each, with and without diabetes) underwent hyperinsulinemic euglycaemic clamp and mixed meal test, before and after surgery, to measure indices of IS, ?-cell function, GIP, GLP-1 and glucagon response. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) for GIP and GLP-1 was also done on intestinal biopsies of all acromegalics and healthy controls. Patients of acromegaly, irrespective of presence or absence of hyperglycaemia, had similar degree of insulin resistance, however patients with diabetes exhibited hyperglucagonemia, and compromised ?-cell function despite significantly higher GIP levels. After surgery, indices of IS improved, GIP and glucagon levels decreased significantly in both the groups, while there was no significant change in indices of ?-cell function in those with hyperglycaemia. IHC positivity for GIP, but not GLP-1, staining cells in duodenum and colon was significantly lower in acromegalics with diabetes as compared to healthy controls possibly because of high K-cell turnover. Chronic GH excess induces an equipoise insulin resistance in patients of acromegaly irrespective of their glycaemic status. Dysglycaemia in these patients is an outcome of ?-cell dysfunction consequent to GIP resistance and hyperglucagonemia.
