Study information
Scientific title
Evaluation of pancreas composition and function during return to normal glucose tolerance in type 2 diabetes
Acronym
DRN 591
Study hypothesis
The overall objective is to elucidate the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes by defining the contribution of change in beta cell function and insulin sensitivity to the return to normal glucose homeostasis during definitive therapeutic intervention. The compelling in vitro and in vivo animal data for a direct adverse effect of fatty acid exposure on beta cell function and hepatic insulin sensitivity will be tested in vivo in people with type 2 diabetes by use of a newly devised magnetic resonance technique. The specific hypothesis will be tested that the early effect of bariatric surgery in normalising blood glucose in type 2 diabetes is brought about by the same mechanistic changes as seen during hypocaloric dieting.
