Effect of Aging and Diabetes on the Enteroinsular Axis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: The current studies were designed to examine the effect of aging and diabetes on the enteroinsular axis. METHODS: Healthy young control subjects (n = 10 young; age 23 +/- 1 years; body mass index [BMI] 24 +/- 1 kg/m(2)), healthy elderly subjects (n = 10; age 80 +/- 2 years; BMI 26 +/- 1 kg/m(2)), and elderly patients with type 2 diabetes (n = 10; age 76 +/- 2 years; BMI 26 +/- 2 kg/m(2)) underwent a 3-hour oral glucose tolerance test (glucose dose 40 gm/m(2)). RESULTS: Insulin responses were not different between young controls and elderly patients with diabetes but were significantly lower in elderly patients with diabetes and young controls than in elderly controls (young control: 178 +/- 27 pM; elderly control: 355 +/- 57 pM; elderly diabetes: 177 +/- 30 pM; p <.05 elderly control vs young control and elderly diabetes). Total glucagon-like peptide 1 (GLP-1) responses were not significantly different between young and elderly controls and patients with diabetes (young control: 15 +/- 2 pM; old control: 8 +/- 2 pM; elderly diabetes: 12 +/- 3 pM; p = ns). Active GLP-1 responses were also not different between young and elderly controls and patients with diabetes (young control: 5 +/- 1 pM; old control: 6 +/- 1 pM; elderly diabetes: 7 +/- 1 pM; p = ns). However, the difference between total and active GLP levels was significantly greater in the young controls (young control: 10 +/- 2 pM; old control: 2 +/- 2 pM; elderly diabetes: 4 +/- 2 pM; p <.05, young vs elderly). Glucose-dependent insulinotropic polypeptide responses were not different between young and elderly controls and between elderly controls and patients with diabetes but were significantly higher in elderly patients with diabetes than in young controls (young control: 97 +/- 12 pM; elderly control: 121 +/- 16 pM; elderly diabetes: 173 +/- 27 pM; p <.05, young vs elderly diabetes). Glucagon responses were reduced in elderly controls but were similar in young controls and elderly patients with diabetes (young control: 15 +/- 1 pM; elderly control: 9 +/- 1 pM; elderly diabetes: 16 +/- 1 pM; p <.01 elderly control vs young control and elderly diabetes). Dipeptidyl peptidase IV levels were lower in both elderly controls and patients with diabetes when compared with young controls (young control: 0.17 +/- 0.01; elderly control: 0.15 +/- 0.01; elderly diabetes: 0.15 +/- 0.01 DeltaOD/20 minutes; p <.05, elderly vs young). CONCLUSIONS: We conclude that normal aging and diabetes are associated with multiple changes in the enteroinsular axis.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
