Glucose tolerance decreases with age. For determining the cause of this decrease, 67 elderly and 21 young (70.1 +/- 0.7 vs. 23.7 +/- 0.8 years) participants ingested a mixed meal and received an intravenous injection of glucose. Fasting glucose and the glycemic response above basal were higher in the elderly than in the young participants after either meal ingestion (P < 0.001) or glucose injection (P < 0.01). Insulin action (Si), measured with the meal and intravenous glucose tolerance test… Expand

Effects of Age and Sex on Postprandial Glucose Metabolism
TLDR
Age and sex impact on insulin secretion, insulin action, hepatic insulin extraction, and glucose effectiveness, resulting in substantial differences in the regulation of postprandial glucose metabolism in men and women and in elderly and young subjects is determined. Expand
Effect of lowering postprandial hyperglycemia on insulin secretion in older people with impaired glucose tolerance.
TLDR
Short-term improvement of chronic hyperglycemia does not reverse beta-cell dysfunction in older people with IGT, and measures of insulin secretion and acute insulin response to intravenous glucose remained unchanged and impaired. Expand
Deterioration of insulin sensitivity and glucose effectiveness with age and hypertension.
TLDR
This study demonstrates that, in the absence of MS, insulin sensitivity in normotensive subjects is independent of age; b) hypertension is associated with insulin resistance in elderly subjects; and c) age is a primary predictor of deterioration in glucose effectiveness, independent of hypertension. Expand
Pathogenesis of Pre-Diabetes
TLDR
It is concluded that postprandial hyperglycemia in individuals with early diabetes is due to lower rates of glucose disappearance rather than increased meal appearance or impaired suppression of EGP, regardless of their fasting glucose. Expand
Decrease in glucose-stimulated insulin secretion with aging is independent of insulin action.
TLDR
It is suggested that prolonged hyperglycemic stimulation can be a tool to identify functional defects in insulin secretion, particularly in the context of the hyperbolic relationship with insulin action, in elderly subjects or those at risk for type 2 diabetes. Expand
Impact of Intra-Abdominal Fat and Age on Insulin Sensitivity and β-Cell Function
TLDR
Although intra-abdominal fat is a strong determinant of insulin sensitivity and β-cell function, age has an independent effect on β- cell function that may contribute to the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes in older populations. Expand
Effects of Nonglucose Nutrients on Insulin Secretion and Action in People With Pre-Diabetes
TLDR
Whereas glucose-induced insulin secretion is impaired in people with abnormal glucose tolerance, nonglucose nutrient–induced secretion is intact, suggesting that a glucose-specific defect in the insulin secretory pathway is an early event in the evolution of type 2 diabetes. Expand
Effect of Aging on Glucose Homeostasis
TLDR
Insulin secretion normally decreases at a rate of ∼0.7% per year with aging; this decrease in β-cell function is accelerated about two-fold in people with impaired glucose tolerance—first phase to a greater extent than second phase; aging per se has no effect on insulin sensitivity independent of changes in body composition. Expand
Primacy of beta-cell dysfunction in the development of hyperglycemia: a study in the Japanese general population.
TLDR
Elevation of PG correlated most prominently with beta-cell dysfunction and less prominently with decreased Si, higher age, and BMI (especially so in the case of 2-hour PG), and the primacy of beta- cell dysfunction in the process of developing glucose intolerance was strongly suggested in the Japanese general population. Expand
The Influence of Cortisol and Age Differences on the Development of Insulin Resistance and Dyslipidemia in Euthyroid Patients
TLDR
Investigating the influence of serum cortisol and age differences on insulin resistance and the associated lipid disturbances in euthyroid adults found there was significant correlation between cortisol and insulin resistance at older ages. Expand

Influence of Aging on Hepatic and Peripheral Glucose Metabolism in Humans
TLDR
It is concluded that age-related glucose intolerance develops despite slowed glucose absorption and is characterized by delays in the initial rise in insulin levels, the suppression of HGO, and the rise in peripheral glucose uptake, which is predominantly the result of impaired peripheral glucose utilization. Expand
Influence of Age on Clearance of Insulin in Man
TLDR
The results indicate the value of evaluating C1 as one determinant of circulating insulin level in states of abnormal insulin physiology and reconcile the discrepancy between in vivo and in vitro studies of glucose-induced insulin release. Expand
Age-related reduction in glucose elimination is accompanied by reduced glucose effectiveness and increased hepatic insulin extraction in man.

TLDR
SG seems most related to age-dependent impairment of glucose elimination, whereas leptin, glucagon, and PP do not seem to contribute, whereas SI and first-phase insulin secretion seem normal. Expand
Relationship between glucose tolerance and glucose-stimulated insulin response in 65-year-olds.
TLDR
Aberrations in early and late phase glucose-stimulated insulin responses appear to be present in older subjects with even mildly decreased glucose tolerance, at least up to age 70 years. Expand
Glucose Intolerance and Aging: Evidence for Tissue Insensitivity to Insulin
TLDR
In conclusion, under the present experimental conditions, employing intravenous glucose and/or insulin, impaired tissue sensitivity to insulin is the primary factor responsible for the decrease in glucose tolerance observed with advancing age. Expand
Role of body fat distribution in the decline in insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance with age.
TLDR
In healthy older men up to the age of 73 yr, insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance are affected primarily by the regional body fat distribution, not age, obesity, or VO2max. Expand
Pathogenesis of age-related glucose intolerance in man: insulin resistance and decreased beta-cell function.
TLDR
The studies suggest that the diminished glucose tolerance of aging in normal weight men has multifactorial causality, and both beta-cell dysfunction and insulin resistance are important. Expand
The effect of age on insulin response and glucose utilization during four hyperglycemic plateaus
TLDR
It is concluded that healthy, active older subjects showed moderate intolerance to oral and IV glucose and that the mechanism of this physiological aging process is most likely decreased insulin sensitivity. Expand
Effects of Aging on Insulin Secretion
TLDR
Physiological hyperinsulinemia of aging is caused by increased insulin secretion rather than decreased insulin clearance as demonstrated under basal conditions and in response to mixed meals. Expand
Characterization of the insulin resistance of aging.
TLDR
The studies suggest that aging may be associated with a postreceptor defect in insulin action manifested by decreased whole-body tissue sensitivity to insulin without a change in tissue responsiveness. Expand
