Impact of energy turnover on the regulation of glucose homeostasis in healthy subjects.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:Sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of type 2 diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of different levels of energy turnover (ET; low, medium, and high level of physical activity and the corresponding energy intake) on glucose metabolism at zero energy balance, caloric restriction, and overfeeding. METHODS:Sixteen healthy individuals (13 men, 3 women, 25.1?±?3.9 years, BMI 24.0?±?3.2?kg/m2) participated in a randomized crossover intervention under metabolic ward conditions. Subjects passed 3?×?3 intervention days. Three levels of physical activity (PAL: low 1.3, medium 1.6, and high 1.8 achieved by walking at 4?km/h for 0, 3?×?55, or 3?×?110?min) were compared under three levels of energy balance (zero energy balance (EB): 100% of energy requirement (Ereq); caloric restriction (CR): 75% Ereq, and overfeeding (OF): 125% Ereq). Continuous interstitial glucose monitoring, C-peptide excretion, and HOMA-IR, as well as postprandial glucose and insulin were measured. RESULTS:Daylong glycemia and insulin secretion did not increase with higher ET at all conditions of energy balance (EB, CR, and OF), despite a correspondingly higher CHO intake (? low vs. high ET: +86 to 135?g of CHO/d). At CR, daylong glycemia (p?=?0.02) and insulin secretion (p?=?0.04) were even reduced with high compared with low ET. HOMA-IR was impaired with OF and improved with CR, whereas ET had no effect on fasting insulin sensitivity. A higher ET led to lower postprandial glucose and insulin levels under conditions of CR and OF. CONCLUSION:Low-intensity physical activity can significantly improve postprandial glycemic response of healthy individuals, independent of energy balance.
