We aimed to describe the natural history of residual insulin secretion in Type 1 Diabetes TrialNet participants over 4 years from diagnosis and relate this previously reported alternative clinical measures reflecting β-cell secretory function.Data 407 subjects 5 intervention studies were analyzed. All had baseline stimulated C-peptide values ≥0.2 nmol/L mixed-meal tolerance tests (MMTTs). During semiannual visits, MMTTs, HbA1c, doses obtained.The percentage individuals with or detectable...

BACKGROUNDResidual C-peptide is detected in many people for years following the diagnosis of type 1 diabetes; however, physiologic significance low levels detectable not known.METHODSWe studied 63 adults with diabetes classified by peak mixed-meal tolerance test (MMTT) as negative (<0.007 pmol/mL; n = 15), (0.017-0.200; 16), intermediate (>0.200-0.400; or high (>0.400; 17). We compared groups' glycemia from continuous glucose monitoring (CGM), β cell secretory responses a glucose-potentiated...

The purpose of this study was to investigate the underlying molecular mechanisms fracture healing mediated by bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells. Differentially expressed microRNAs in acutely injured subjects and healthy volunteers were screened microarray analysis. dual luciferase reporter system used verify whether insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF1) direct target gene regulated miR-148a. expression level miR-148a IGF1 after osteogenic differentiation detected quantitative real-time...

Decades of studies demonstrate that ∼50% risk for type 1 diabetes (T1D) is heritable (1). The first loci linked to T1D were the HLA genes have largest effect size any susceptibility locus, followed by linkage insulin VNTR (2,3). Linkage given way genome-wide association (GWAS) identified >50 contribute developing (4). Most these impart modest relative (odds ratio ≤2.0) and together with account ∼80% heritability (5). question remains: GWAS delivered in terms our ability understand causes...

There is little information regarding β cell mass in individuals at early stages of type 1 diabetes (T1D). To investigate both acute insulin response to arginine hyperglycemia (AIRmax), as a correlate mass, and function by the intravenous glucose tolerance test (IVGTT) subjects T1D. Forty were enrolled: (1) low-risk group: relatives patients with T1D 0 antibody (n = 21) (2) high-risk ≥2 antibodies 19). Acute C-peptide responses IVGTT AIRmax. Participants underwent two AIRmax procedures on...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the effect of parenteral insulin therapy on endogenous secretion in Diabetes Prevention Trial–Type 1 (DPT-1). RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS In arm DPT-1, subjects without diabetes at high risk future type randomized to active treatment received a yearly 4-day intravenous infusion (IV-I) and daily subcutaneous (SC-I). examine effects these therapies secretion, C-peptide glucose levels were compared during oral tolerance tests (OGTTs) performed off IV-I SC-I. Forty-six...

Background: Glutamic acid decarboxylase-65 (GAD65), the enzyme that catalyzes formation of gamma-aminobutyric (GABA), is major autoantigen in both type 1 (insulin-dependent) diabetes and stiff-man syndrome (SMS). The observation GAD65 autoantibodies may be present for years before clinical onset raises question when available to initiate an immune response allow autoantibodies. In order address this it will necessary measure tissue, cells, plasma. Methods: A radioimmunoassay (RIA) was...

Recent work from one laboratory has shown, in both nonobese diabetic mice and humans, an association between insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) quantitative difference MHC class I molecule expression. This reported decrease expression is very controversial the mouse model of IDDM, but to our knowledge, it not been evaluated by another group human IDDM. To evaluate this question, we studied 30 patients with IDDM age- sex-matched normal controls. was measured flow cytometry...

The macrophage-derived cytokine, interleukin-1β (IL-1β), has been implicated to play an important role in the autoimmune β cell lesion of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) because its inhibition insulin secretion, direct cytotoxicity, and alteration islet antigen expression. Because transforming growth factor (TGF-β) reported inhibit IL-1 receptor expression several lymphoid progenitor lines, induce antagonist protein (IRAP) production human peripheral blood monocytes, antagonize...

Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is an autoimmune disease characterized by lymphocytic infiltration of the pancreatic islets (insulitis). Cytokines released as part insulitis process have been suggested to play important role in beta cell lesion IDDM. A possible diabetogenic effect cytokines may be mediated their inducing abnormal expression islet autoantigens. Since glutamic acid decarboxylase-65 (GAD-65) a target autoantigen IDDM, we investigated whether IL-1 beta, TNF alpha IFN...
