Insulin Sensitivity And Pancreatic Beta-Cell Function In Patients With Primary Aldosteronism
ENDOCRINE(2021)
摘要
Background Primary aldosteronism (PA) is associated with an increased risk for dysglycemia. However, the effects of hyperaldosteronism on insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function are unclear.Methods Using a cross-sectional study design, we assessed insulin sensitivity and pancreatic beta-cell function from an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in patients from two cohorts: subjects with PA (n = 21) and essential hypertension control (EHC) subjects (n = 22). Age, sex, BMI, and mean arterial pressure adjusted measures of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell function were compared between the groups.Results PA individuals were less insulin sensitive compared to EHC subjects (Quantitative insulin sensitivity check index [QUICKI]: 0.340 +/- 0.006 vs. 0.374 +/- 0.013, p < 0.001; Matsuda index: 4.14 +/- 0.49 vs. 7.87 +/- 1.42, p < 0.001; S-I: 11.45 +/- 4.85 vs. 21.23 +/- 6.11 dL/kg/min per mu U/mL, p = 0.02). The hepatic insulin resistance index (HIRI) was higher in PA subjects (PA: 5.61 +/- 1.01 vs. EHC: 4.13 +/- 0.61, p = 0.002). The insulinogenic index (IGI), an index of beta-cell function was higher in the PA cohort (PA: 1.49 +/- 0.27 vs. 1.11 +/- 0.21 mu U/mL/mg/dL, p = 0.03). However, the oral disposition index (DI) was similar between the groups (PA: 4.77 +/- 0.73 vs. EHC: 5.46 +/- 0.85, p = 0.42), which likely accounts for the similar glucose tolerance between the two cohorts, despite lower sensitivity.Conclusions In summary, insulin sensitivity is significantly lower in PA with an appropriately compensated beta-cell function. These results suggest that excess aldosterone and/or other steroids in the context of PA may negatively affect insulin action without adversely impacting beta-cell function.
