Brain Metabolism during Fasting

TL;DR: Catheterization of cerebral vessels in three obese patients undergoing 5-6 wk of starvation demonstrated that beta-hydroxybutyrate and acetoacetate replaced glucose as the predominant fuel for brain metabolism.

Role of glucose and insulin resistance in development of type 2 diabetes mellitus: results of a 25-year follow-up study

TL;DR: A minimum model of glucose disposal and insulin secretion based on intravenous glucose tolerance tests to estimate insulin sensitivity, glucose effectiveness, and first-phase and second-phase beta-cell responsiveness in normoglycaemic offspring of couples who both had type 2 diabetes found that insulin secretion was appropriate for the level of insulin resistance.

Studies of pancreatic alpha cell function in normal and diabetic subjects

TL;DR: The findings suggest that alpha cell function is inappropriately increased in diabetes mellitus and could play a significant role in the diabetic syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

Amino acid metabolism during prolonged starvation

TL;DR: It is concluded that the marked decrease in plasma alanine is due to augmented and preferential splanchnic utilization of this amino acid in early starvation resulting in substrate depletion and is an important component of the regulatory mechanism whereby hepatic gluconeogenesis is diminished and protein catabolism is minimized in prolonged fasting.

Abnormal alpha-cell function in diabetes. Response to carbohydrate and protein ingestion.

TL;DR: The effect of large carbohydrate or protein meals upon plasma glucagon was compared in nondiabetic and diabetic patients to compare the effects of carbohydrate suppressed mean glucagon and protein meals.
