چکیده
In the normal state, pancreatic secretion of insulin results in a portallperipheral gradient with the highest concentrations of insulin in the liver. In diabetic patients with absent or insufficient pancreatic insulin secretion who require exogenous insulin, this normal gradient is lost, resulting in numerous abnormalities. This consideration led to interest in the intraperitoneal delivery of insulin, hoping to produce a therapeutic state more closely resembling normal physiology. The development of implantable insulin pumps, which can deliver insulin intraperitoneally, led to numerous studies on insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) patients, demonstrating that insulin delivered intraperitoneally is rapidly and predictably absorbed with most of it going into the portal system, resulting in hepatic delivery of insulin. Studies in IDDM patients glucose control, and thus significant peripheral hyperinsulinemia occurs in patients receiving exogenous insulin. Because of hepatic extraction, intraperitoneal administration of insulin in NIDDM could provide sufficient insulin to the liver to control hepatic metabolism and reduce peripheral insulin levels, the risk for atherosclerosis, and other adverse effects of hyperinsulinemia. Because of these considerations, a Veterans Affairs Cooperative Study examining the use of implantable insulin pumps delivering intraperitoneal insulin in NIDDM patients was initiated to determine whether this is a feasible approach to NIDDM patients' therapy and whether this results in beneficial effects on carbohydrate and lipid metabolism and peripheral insulin levels.

متن کاملThe role of environmental factors in insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus: an unresolved issue.
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is an autoimmune disease characterized by the destruction of the insulin-secreting beta cells found in the islets of Langerhans. Reduced beta-cell mass results in overt diabetes, requiring lifelong exogenous insulin administration and the possibility of numerous sequelae. Incidence and development of IDDM depend upon a variety of genetic and nongenetic...
