Background/aims. Postprandial hyperglycemia, an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease, is accompanied by endothelial dysfunction. We studied the effect of oral glucose load on insulin and glucose fluctuations, and on postprandial endothelial function in healthy individuals in order to better understand and cope with the postprandial state in insulin resistant individuals.Methods. We assessed post-oral glucose load endothelial function (flow mediated dilation), plasma insulin, and blood glucose in 9 healthy subjects.Results. The largest increases in delta FMD values (fasting FMD value subtracted from postprandial FMD value) occurred at 3 hours after both glucose or placebo load, respectively:4.80±1.41(P= .009) and2.34±1.47(P= .15). Glucose and insulin concentrations achieved maximum peaks at one hour post-glucose load.Conclusion. Oral glucose load does not induce endothelial dysfunction in healthy individuals with mean insulin and glucose values of 5.6 mmol/L and 27.2 mmol/L, respectively, 2 hours after glucose load.

Background: The vasodilator action of insulin might contribute to the reduction of blood pressure in the postprandial state and it remains to be clarified whether this action is impaired in the insulin- resistant obese state or not. Aims and Objective: The present study aimed to determine the blood pressure responses after an oral glucose load in lean and insulin resistant centrally obese adult male subjects. Materials and Methods: This study was carried out in eleven lean and eleven centrally obese adult male subjects. After a 75 g oral glucose load, blood pressures were measured at 15-minute intervals and the serum insulin level was determined at 30-minute intervals for two hours. Blood pressure was measured by indirect sphygmomanometry and serum insulin concentration was analyzed by ELISA method. Results: All centrally obese subjects were insulin resistant (HOMA-IR≥2.6). After oral glucose load, the per cent change in glucose-stimulated insulin responses at 30 minutes (626% vs 344%, p<0.05) and at 60 minutes (756% vs 417%, p<0.01) were significantly greater in the lean group than the centrally obese group. The fall in postprandial blood pressures started at 15 minutes and returned to baseline values at 120 minutes. The per cent change in SBP at 15 minutes (-2.2% vs -1.2%, p<0.05) and at 30 minutes (-3.2% vs -2.1%, p<0.05) were significantly greater in the lean group than the centrally obese group. Conclusion: The present findings suggest that attenuation in BP responses as well as a lesser change in glucose-stimulated insulin responses in the centrally obese subjects might be attributable to the presence of insulin resistance.

The key finding of the present study is that vascular dysfunction caused by an oral glucose load can be prevented by a single dose oral administration of tauroursodeoxycholic acid (TUDCA), a compound known to alleviate endoplasmic reticulum stress (ER).
