Antilipolytic Insulin Sensitivity Indices Measured during an Oral Glucose Challenge: Associations with Insulin-Glucose Clamp and Central Adiposity in Women without Diabetes
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGRUOUND: Tissue overexposure to non-esterified fatty acids (NEFA) contributes to the development of metabolic conditions, with insulin-mediated suppression of lipolysis being an important mechanism in limiting this overexposure. We investigated which dynamic NEFA insulin-suppression indices derived from the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) were best associated with those derived from the insulin-glucose clamp, as well as with central adiposity and glucoregulatory parameters. METHODS: This cross-sectional study recruited 29 women without diabetes, 15 healthy women, and 14 women with polycystic ovary syndrome. The OGTT indices of NEFA insulin-suppression were the decremental NEFA area under the curve, negative log-linear NEFA slope, percentage of NEFA suppression (%NEFAsupp) and time to suppress NEFA levels by 50% (T50NEFA). The indices derived from the two-step euglycemic-hyperinsulinemic clamp (low-dose insulin step) were delta NEFA and %NEFAsupp. RESULTS: Among the OGTT and clamp indices, T50NEFA[OGTT] and %NEFAsupp[clamp] showed the closest associations in both subgroups (r=-0.58). Additionally, T50NEFA correlated significantly in all women with waist circumference (r=0.64), body fat percentage (r=0.60), fasting insulinemia (r=0.53), and M-value insulin sensitivity index (r=-0.45). Similarly, %NEFAsupp[clamp] correlated significantly in all women with waist circumference (r=-0.57), body fat percentage (r=-0.54), fasting insulinemia (r=-0.55), and M-value insulin sensitivity index (r=0.51). T50NEFA and %NEFAsupp[clamp] also correlated with other anthropometric and metabolic parameters associated with lipotoxicity. CONCLUSION: For dynamic testing of NEFA insulin-suppression in women, T50NEFA was the OGTT-derived index best correlated with a clamp index (%NEFAsupp). These indices were also the most closely associated with anthropometric and glucoregulatory parameters. Thus, the OGTT-derived T50NEFA appears valid for assessing dynamic antilipolytic insulin action.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
