AimObese patients without diabetes present an interesting phenotype to explore protective mechanisms against type 2 diabetes (T2D) development. In our study we looked for specific hormonal features of obese patients without T2D.Materials And MethodsWe included 6 groups of patients with different metabolic profiles (n=212): controls with BMI25 kg/m2, HbA1c6%, age 30 years; patients with 25BMI30 kg/m2and HbA1c6%; patients with 25BMI30 kg/m2and HbA1c6%; patients with BMI30 kg/m2and HbA1c6% (+ Obesity - T2D) obese patients without T2D or prediabetes; patients with BMI30 kg/m2and newly-diagnosed T2D/prediabetes, HbA1c6%; patients with known history of T2D on glucose-lowering drugs with BMI30 kg/m2. Insulin, GLP-1, GIP were measured during glucose-tolerance test at 0, 30 and 120 minutes; insulin resistance (IR) was assessed by HOMA-IR.ResultsWaist circumference was bigger in patients with obesity despite their metabolic profile comparing to patients without obesity (p0.001). Waist-to-hip ratio was similar in patients with different metabolic status. According to IR + Obesity - T2D group had intermediate position: IR was higher in that group comparing to people without obesity, but was less that in patients with obesity and HbA1c6% (p0.001). + Obesity - T2D group had the most potent baseline insulin secretion, assessed by НОМА-%band the highest postprandial secretion, measured by insulinogenic index among all patient groups with obesity (p0.001). There was no significant difference in GLP-1 secretion; GIP secretion was higher in patients with BMI30 kg/m2comparing to people with BMI30 kg/m2(p0.01).
