Abstract excerpt

OBJECTIVE: To assess insulin sensitivity and beta cell secretion in indigenous Ghanaian subjects with a spectrum of glucose intolerance. RESEARCH AND METHODS: We evaluated beta cell secretion, insulin sensitivity (Si) and glucose effectiveness (Sg) in three groups: group 1, 15 healthy control subjects without family history of type 2 diabetes; group 2, 11 healthy non-diabetic first-degree relatives of Ghanaian...
