In vivo insulin sensitivity and adipocyte insulin binding and action were assessed in 16 patients with histologically proven hepatic cirrhosis and 11 age-, weight-and sex-matched normal control subjects. The cirrhotic group displayed impaired oral glucose tolerance, despite an exaggerated serum immu
We have examined the hypothesis that insulin insensitivity in hepatic cirrhosis is related to abnormalities of glycogen deposition and skeletal muscle enzyme activities. Otherwise well patients with biopsy-proven hepatic cirrhosis secondary to previous excess alcohol intake were studied. Prior to st
Both in the human and in several experimental models, hypertension is associated with insulin resistance. Thiazolidinedione derivatives are a novel group of oral hypoglycemic agents that increase insulin sensitivity without stimulating endogenous insulin secretion. These agents have been shown to at
We examined whether a single bout of moderate exercise has a beneficial effect on insulin sensitivity and fuel homeostasis in cirrhosis. Clinically stable cirrhotic patients and age-, sex-, and weight-matched controls participated in insulin clamp studies (either euglycemic hyperinsulinemic or hyper
