Abstract:
Obese African-American (AA) subjects have higher resting and stimulated insulin concentrations than obese Caucasians (C), which could not be
explained by the severity of obesity or the degree of insulin sensitivity.
We investigated whether differences in glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), the
most potent incretin that regulates insulin secretion, might explain racial
differences in insulin response.
