[0033] The present study was divided into three parts. The aim of part one was to establish dose-response relationships for GLP-1 stimulation with respect to insulin secretion (with 2.5, 5, 15, and 25 nmol of GLP-1) and compare the responses to that seen after a standard meal test and after a glucagon test (1 mg I.V.). In part two of the study, the aim was to evaluate the performance of the selected dose in a larger group (12 type II diabetic patients and 12 matched healthy subjects) and to examine the effect of GLP-1 with concomitant infusion of glucose elevating plasma glucose to 15 mmol / l. In part three, the aim was to compare the combined glucose+GLP-1 injection from part two with the established hyperglycemic clamp with arginine used for determination of maximal secretory capacity.

Abstract

Since glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) is the most potent insulinotropic hormone known and has been shown to stimulate insulin secretion strongly in patients with type II diabetes, this invention uses GLP-1 or its biologically active analogues in β-cell stimulatory tests in order to test β-cell function in a simple way. The test provides information about insulin secretory capacity, is easy and reproducible and has insignificant side effects.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] This invention relates to the detection of impaired β-cell function of individuals as diagnostic indicator of impaired glucose tolerance and a warning sign of diabetes. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0002] Evaluation of β-cell function is of interest in many different situations: in monitoring diabetic subjects under treatment, in family studies estimating the risk of developing diabetes, and after pancreas or islet transplantation. The exact β-cell mass cannot be measured directly. As a surrogate, the glucagon test has gained wide acceptance as a measure of β-cell function during daily life since the plasma C-peptide concentration 6 minutes after 1 mg of glucagon (I.V.) has been shown, in most cases, to correspond to the maximal C-peptide concentration after a standard meal (Faber O K, Binder C (1977) C-peptide response to glucagon. A test for the residual beta-cell function in diabetes mellitus. Diabetes 26:605-610; Madsbad S, Krarup T, McNair P et al (...
