U.S. Adults with Obesity or Diabetes Pathogenesis of DM Obesity (BMI 3 kg/m 2 ) 1994 2 28 Complex disorder: Insulin resistance Β-cell dysfunction No Data <14.% 14.-17.9% 18.-21.9% 22.-25.9% >26.% Diabetes 1994 2 28 GWAS studies: (mostly European populations) Found mostly genes for β-cell or insulin secretory defects few genetic clues for insulin resistance No Data <4.5% 4.5-5.9% 6.-7.4% 7.5-8.9% >9.% Insulin Resistance Etiology of T2DM Definition: Change in physiologic regulation, when a fixed dose of insulin causes less of an effect on glucose metabolism than occurs in normal individuals. Recognized since 193 s Still don t know the exact mechanism Bergman, 1981 2
Adipose Tissue Distribution Normal Glucose Tolerance Pre-diabetes Impaired Glucose Tolerance (IGT) Impaired Fasting Glucose (IFG) Type 2 Diabetes Fat Depots: Subcutaneous: 6-7% Intra-abdominal: 15-25% Visceral (or intraperitoneal) Retroperitoneal (5%) Intramuscular: 5-1% Linked with diabetes and atherosclerosis since 194 s Visceral Fat Visceral Fat distribution Déspres, Quebec 3

Ethnic differences in fat dist. Coexistence of Obesity, Diabetes, and MS Latinos and Asians are more prone to visceral obesity African Americans and Whites develop less visceral obesity A.A. have more subcutaneous fat stores than Whites Obesity T2 DM Metabolic Syndrome The Metabolic Syndrome Six Definitions Also known as: WHO 1998 EGIR 1999 NCEP 21 AACE 23 IDF 25 AHA 25 Syndrome X Glucose + + + + + + Insulin Resistance Syndrome The Deadly Quartet The Dysmetabolic syndrome Glucose Intolerance, Diabetes Visceral Obesity Dyslipidemia Hypertension HDL + + + + + + TG + + + + + + BP + + + + + + Waist + + + + + + Other: Ins.
