- Hormonal changes and whole blood free amino acid levels and their relation to renal function were measured in 12 insulin-dependent diabetic patients after two 10-day periods with a diet consisting of 10% and 20% respectively of the energy as protein. The patients were 15-21 years old and mean duration of diabetes was 12 (5-20) years. Glomerular filtration rate, renal plasma flow, and albumin excretion rate were measured together with plasma concentrations of glucagon, growth hormone, insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1), somatostatin, serum insulin and free amino acids in blood. Glomerular filtration rate was 123 +/- 3 ml/min/1.73 m2 on high protein diet and 113 +/- 3 ml/min/1.73 m2 on low protein diet (p = 0.02). Renal plasma flow was unchanged. Glucagon, IGF-1, branch chained amino acids (BCAA), tyrosine, phenylalanine, lysine, and methionine were increased after the high protein diet. Growth hormone, somatostatin, insulin, and other amino acids remained unchanged. The increase in glomerular filtration rate was significantly correlated to the increase in glucagon, isoleucine, and valine (glucagon r = 0.71, p = 0.01, isoleucine r = 0.59, p = 0.04, valine r = 0.62, p = 0.03). In a multiple regression model the increase in glomerular filtration correlated most strongly to the increase in isoleucine, followed by valine and glucagon. Together these variables explained 88% of the total variance of the change in glomerular filtration rate (r2 = 0.88, p = 0.001). Albumin excretion rate was correlated to IGF-1 (r = 0.86, p < 0.001) on the high protein diet. The regulation of GFR seems to depend on a combined effect of BCCA and glucagon, whereas microalbuminuria seems to be related to IGF-1.

- Aims/hypothesis: We used oestrogen receptor-alpha (ER alpha) knockout (ERKO) and receptor-beta (ER beta) knockout (BERKO) mice to investigate the mechanism(s) behind the effects of oestrogens on glucose homeostasis. Methods: Endogenous glucose production (EGP) was measured in ERKO mice using a euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic clamp. Insulin secretion was determined from isolated islets. In isolated muscles, glucose uptake was assayed by using radiolabelled isotopes. Genome-wide expression profiles were analysed by high-density oligonucleotide microarray assay, and the expression of the genes encoding steroyl-CoA desaturase and the Leptin receptor (Scd1 and Lepr, respectively) was confirmed by RT-PCR. Results: ERKO mice had higher fasting blood glucose, plasma insulin levels and IGT. The plasma leptin level was increased, while the adiponectin concentration was decreased in ERKO mice. Levels of both glucose- and arginine-induced insulin secretion from isolated islets were similar in ERKO and wild-type mice. The euglycaemic-hyperinsulinaemic clamp revealed that suppression of EGP by increased insulin levels was blunted in ERKO mice, which suggests a pronounced hepatic insulin resistance. Microarray analysis revealed that in ERKO mice, the genes involved in hepatic lipid biosynthesis were upregulated, while genes involved in lipid transport were downregulated. Notably, hepatic Lepr expression was decreased in ERKO mice. In vitro studies showed a modest decrease in insulin-mediated glucose uptake in soleus and extensor digitorum longus (EDL) muscles of ERKO mice. BERKO mice demonstrated normal glucose tolerance and insulin release. Conclusions/interpretation: We conclude that oestrogens, acting via ER alpha, regulate glucose homeostasis mainly by modulating hepatic insulin sensitivity, which can be due to the upregulation of lipogenic genes via the suppression of Lepr expression.
