Insulin resistance in obese boys with acanthosis nigricans.

Insulin resistance was investigated in three obese boys with acanthosis nigricans and their results were compared to those obtained in non-acanthotic obese patients. Blood glucose immune reactive serum insulin and C-peptide during oral glucose tolerance test and 125I-insulin binding investigated. Obese patients with acanthosis nigricans were more insulin resistant than simple obese controls. Insulin binding studies performed in two acanthotic patients suggested that one of them had insulin resistance type A, and the second patient had insulin resistance type B. According to the results acanthosis nigricans can serve as a marker for severe insulin resistance in obesity.     

Diabetes mellitus in Asian Indian children and adolescents

AIM: To study the clinical and metabolic profile of type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus in children and adolescents in a South Asian population. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS: Sixty children were recruited. They were divided into three groups: Group I--type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2), Group II--type 1 diabetes mellitus (DM1), and Group III--healthy controls. The clinical history and biochemical parameters (HbA1c, serum insulin, C-peptide, triglycerides, total cholesterol and HDL-cholesterol) were recorded. Homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (HOMAIR) and quantitative insulin sensitivity check index (QUICKI) were calculated. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: Children and adolescents with DM2 had a significant family history of DM and clinical features of insulin resistance, including increased body mass index, waist:hip ratio and acanthosis nigricans. They also had decreased insulin sensitivity together with dyslipidemia of metabolic syndrome, i.e. high triglyceride, high total cholesterol and low HDL-cholesterol. The presence of these predictors of cardiovascular disorders is known to contribute to morbidity and mortality. Hence, DM2 needs to be recognized early in Asian Indian children.     

Characterisation of morbidity in a UK, hospital based, obesity clinic.

AIM: To identify clinical features which predict those most at risk of co-morbidities within an obesity clinic. METHODS: Children attending an obesity clinic had fasting glucose, insulin, and lipids measured prior to a standard oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). History and examination established birth weight, family history of type 2 diabetes/obesity, pubertal status, and presence of acanthosis nigricans. Central and total fat mass was estimated by bio-impedance. RESULTS: Of the 126 children evaluated, 10.3% (n = 13) had impaired glucose tolerance (IGT); the majority (n = 11) of these would not have been identified on fasting glucose alone. Those with IGT were more likely to have a parental history of type 2 diabetes (relative risk 3.5). IGT was not associated with acanthosis nigricans. Twenty five per cent (n = 19) of those evaluated (n = 75) had evidence of the "metabolic syndrome" (MS). HDL cholesterol and triglyceride levels were related to insulin sensitivity (HOMA-R); HDL cholesterol was also related to birth weight SDS. We observed a trend for those with MS to have a lower birth weight SDS. The severity of obesity did not influence the likelihood of IGT or MS. CONCLUSIONS: Significant numbers of obese children have associated co-morbidities. Analysis of fasting blood glucose samples alone is not satisfactory to adequately evaluate glucose homoeostasis. The overall level of obesity does not predict co-morbidities. Special attention should be given to those with parental diabetes and a history of low birth weight who are more likely to have IGT and abnormal lipid profiles respectively.     

Alterations of glucoregulation in childhood obesity--association with insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia

AIM: To study the prevalence of alterations of glucoregulation in childhood obesity. PARTICIPANTS: 250 obese children. Oral glucose tolerance test was performed, serum glucose and insulin were determined, and HOMA-IR was calculated. RESULTS: Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) was found in 1.2% according to World Health Organisation criteria and 4.4% according to the criteria of the International Diabetes Federation. Impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) was found in 13.6%, type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM2) in 2.4%. Frequency of fasting glucose (FG) above 7.0 mmol/l was 1.2%. Basal hyperinsulinemia was increased in 70%, reactive hyperinsulinemia in 88%, frequency of elevated HOMA-IR was 78%. 120' insulin was increased in all cases with abnormal FG, IGT and DM2, HOMA-IR was elevated in 79% of patients with IGT and all patients with abnormal FG and DM2. Significant positive correlations were demonstrated between body mass index and insulin levels. CONCLUSION: Our data show that hyperinsulinemia can successfully compensate for insulin resistance in the majority of the obese children. Since IFG is less frequent than IGT there is a need for performing OGTT to demonstrate abnormality of glucoregulation in obese children.     

Acanthosis nigricans is a reliable cutaneous marker of insulin resistance in obese Japanese children

BACKGROUND: Acanthosis nigricans (AN) is a skin condition characterized by darkening and thickening of skin with formation of irregular folds, usually limited to a few specific areas of the body. Recently, AN has been reported to be linked to hyperinsulinemia and obesity. The aim of the present study was to determine whether or not the presence of AN in obese Japanese children is a reliable cutaneous marker. METHODS: The authors analyzed the clinical characteristics of 439 obese Japanese children (260 boys, 179 girls; mean age 10.1 years; mean percentage overweight 51.9%), who had visited Tsuruoka City Shonai Hospital in 1990-2000. Eighty-two of the 439 children were examined using an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT). Of these children, the authors retrospectively studied 16 subjects: eight with AN and eight without AN (age range: 10.8-13.9 years; percentage overweight range: 54.3-97.0%). They were age and percentage obesity-matched males with normal glucose tolerance during OGTT. Females with normal glucose tolerance during OGTT were excluded from the 16 subjects because the number was too small and children with impaired glucose tolerance or type 2 diabetes during OGTT were also excluded because of glucose toxicity. Eighty-two children including the 16 subjects were analyzed at their first visit for the presence or absence of AN on the posterior of the neck, and for characteristics including age, birthweight, body height, bodyweight, percentage overweight, blood pressure, liver function markers serum lipid concentrations, fasting plasma glucose concentrations and insulin concentrations shown by the results of OGTT. RESULTS: (1) Children with AN showed significantly more glucose intolerance including impaired glucose tolerance and type 2 diabetes compared with those children without AN, and fasting plasma insulin concentrations were most significantly correlated with the presence of AN. (2) Insulin resistance based on fasting plasma insulin concentrations was seen in significantly more children with AN than in children without AN, even in age and percentage obesity-matched subjects with normal glucose tolerance during OGTT. CONCLUSIONS: Acanthosis nigricans could be a reliable cutaneous marker of insulin resistance in obese Japanese children.     

Serum levels of soluble tumor necrosis factor-alpha receptor 2 are linked to insulin resistance and glucose intolerance in children

BACKGROUND: Obesity and insulin resistance are increasingly common problems in children. Tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) has important effects on lipid and glucose metabolism. This effect may be mediated through soluble TNF-alpha receptor 2 (sTNFR2). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the relationship between insulin resistance and the TNF-alpha system in childhood obesity. CHILDREN AND METHODS: Twenty-one obese and six non-obese children were studied. Body mass index (BMI) z-scores, percent body fat (PBF) and waist to hip ratio (WHR) were determined. Fasting serum levels of total cholesterol, HDL-cholesterol, LDL-cholesterol, TNF-alpha and sTNFR2 were measured. A standard 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test (dose of glucose: 1.75 g/kg, max. 75 g) was done. Insulin resistance (IR) was estimated by fasting plasma insulin, plasma insulin at 120 min, homeostasis model assessment (HOMA) and insulin area under the curve (AUC) from OGTT. Insulin sensitivity was estimated by oral glucose insulin sensitivity (OGIS120). RESULTS: Among the obese participants, one child (5.2%) was found to have diabetes mellitus and four others (21.1%) impaired glucose tolerance (IGT). Obese children had significantly elevated sTNFR2 levels. Furthermore, the group of obese children with IGT and the patient with newly diagnosed diabetes mellitus together (n = 5) had significantly higher levels of serum sTNFR2 (2,865+/-320 pg/ml) than the rest of the obese (2,460+/-352 pg/ml; p = 0.016) or lean (1,969+/-362 pg/ml; p = 0.014) children. Serum sTNFR2 levels correlated positively with insulin AUC, HOMA IR, fasting plasma insulin, plasma insulin at 120 min, total cholesterol and LDL/ HDL ratio, and negatively with OGIS120. Multiple regression analysis revealed that age, WHR, sTNFR2 and LDL predicted 81% of the variability in glucose at 120 min. CONCLUSION: sTNFR2 is a candidate marker of insulin resistance and glucose intolerance.
