Altered glucose-dependent secretion of glucagon and ACTH is associated with insulin resistance, assessed by population analysis.

ABSTRACT: This study aimed to characterize how the dysregulation of counter-regulatory hormones can contribute to insulin resistance and potentially to diabetes. Therefore, we investigated the association between insulin sensitivity and the glucose- and insulin-dependent secretion of glucagon, adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH), and cortisol in non-diabetic individuals using a population model analysis. Data, from hyperinsulinemic-hypoglycemic clamps, were pooled for analysis, including 52 individuals with a wide range of insulin resistance (reflected by glucose infusion rate 20-60 min; GIR20-60min). Glucagon secretion was suppressed by glucose and, to a lesser extent, insulin. The GIR20-60min and BMI were identified as predictors of the insulin effect on glucagon. At normoglycemia (5 mmol/L), a 90%
