Abstract
Introduction and Objectives: Diabetes typically develops when the endocrine pancreas fails to cope to insulin demand with adequate insulin secretion. Many studies have shown that diabetes appears when the loss of pancreatic β cell mass is approximately between 41% and 65% in humans. Near total pancreatectomy (NTP) is a surgical procedure that removes 80% of pancreatic mass.To investigate the metabolic effects of NTP in a cohort of nondiabetic subjects. Methods: We recruited 7 subjects who underwent an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and a hyperglycemic clamp (HC) followed by arginine stimulation, before and 3 months after NTP. We calculated the area under the curve of glucose (AUC-Glu) and insulin (AUC-Ins) responses during OGTT. Therefore, we estimated the β cell glucose sensitivity (βCGS), an index of β cell function, and rate sensitivity (RS), an index of first phase insulin secretion. Further, we calculated the total area under the curve of insulin responses (AUC-Itot) and the area under the of the arginine-stimulated insulin secretion (AUC-Arg) during HC. Results: Compared to presurgical OGTT, we observed a 18% increase in the mean glucose levels during OGTT after surgery (AUC-Glu 19761 vs 23421 mg/dl·min) with a 57% reduction of the mean insulin concentration (AUC-Ins 6499 vs 2788 μU/ml·min p<0.05). Further, we observed a 36% reduction βCGS (61.2 vs 38.7 pmol min-1m-2mmol-1L) and a 82% reduction in the RS (763 vs 139 pmol m-2mmol-1L p<0.05) after surgery.

期刊介绍:
Diabetes is a scientific journal that publishes original research exploring the physiological and pathophysiological aspects of diabetes mellitus. We encourage submissions of manuscripts pertaining to laboratory, animal, or human research, covering a wide range of topics. Our primary focus is on investigative reports investigating various aspects such as the development and progression of diabetes, along with its associated complications. We also welcome studies delving into normal and pathological pancreatic islet function and intermediary metabolism, as well as exploring the mechanisms of drug and hormone action from a pharmacological perspective. Additionally, we encourage submissions that delve into the biochemical and molecular aspects of both normal and abnormal biological processes.
However, it is important to note that we do not publish studies relating to diabetes education or the application of accepted therapeutic and diagnostic approaches to patients with diabetes mellitus. Our aim is to provide a platform for research that contributes to advancing our understanding of the underlying mechanisms and processes of diabetes.
