[Effect of a 36-hour fast on blood glucose and insulin responses to the glucose stimulus in the normal subject].

The authors show that it's been able to perform an oral glucose tolerance test on subjects after an 36 hrs 'fasting, providing that a feeding with 250 g of carbohydrates has been brought on the three days before fasting. Three oGTT were performed on 10 normal subjects and carried out as follow: the first after a 3 days' period of usual food intake, the second after a 36 hours 'fasting, the third after a new three days' period with the usual food intake. The first and the third glycemic and insulinemic responses to oGTT are not significantly different. However, after the third period, weight, triacylglycerolemic rate and fasting blood sugar levels are still significantly below the initial values.

Effect of exchange of ham for boiled egg on plasma glucose and insulin responses to breakfast in normal subjects.

Blood glucose (BG) and plasma insulin (IRI) were measured during two breakfasts different only by the nature of proteins--egg (E) or ham (H)--in eight normal subjects. Compared with H, E led to a flattened BG response at 30, 40, and 50 min and to a sustained BG from 150 to 240 min. Integrated BG response was not significantly different between E and H. After E, the IRI response decreased at 90 min and 120 min (P less than 0.05). Integrated IRI response with E was significantly smaller than with H (P less than 0.025). The reasons for the effect of E ingestion on BG are not obvious; pancreatic and/or intestinal mechanisms may be involved. It is suggested that greater consideration be given to the protein composition of the test meals when they are used in studies of glucose homeostasis.
