[Pancreatic B cell function and glucose intolerance in the elderly].

T Nozaki

    Summary

    Pancreatic B cell function remains favorable in normal elderly individuals, but declines in those with type 2 diabetes (DM2). Mild glucose intolerance in elderly subgroups with atherosclerosis shows a high insulin response, indicating preserved pancreatic function.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Gerontology
    • Metabolic Research

    Context:

    • Aging is associated with changes in glucose metabolism and pancreatic B cell function.
    • Understanding these changes is crucial for managing age-related metabolic disorders.
    • Atherosclerosis is a common comorbidity in the elderly, potentially influencing metabolic health.

    Purpose:

    • To investigate pancreatic B cell function in the elderly across different glucose tolerance levels.
    • To explore the relationship between glucose intolerance, pancreatic function, and atherosclerosis in older adults.
    • To compare pancreatic B cell responses in elderly individuals with younger and middle-aged groups.

    Summary:

    • 88 non-obese individuals (21-88 years) underwent oral glucose tolerance tests (OGTT) and glucagon tests measuring glucose, insulin, and C-peptide.
    • Elderly individuals with normal glucose tolerance and mild impairment (DM1) showed preserved or higher insulin responses compared to younger groups.
    • Elderly individuals with type 2 diabetes (DM2) exhibited significantly reduced pancreatic B cell function, comparable to younger DM2 patients.

    Impact:

    • Pancreatic B cell function is generally preserved in normal and mildly impaired elderly individuals.
    • A subgroup of elderly individuals with atherosclerosis, mild glucose intolerance, and high insulin response demonstrates favorable pancreatic B cell function.
    • Type 2 diabetes in the elderly is associated with a clear reduction in pancreatic B cell function.
