The interrelation of enlarged body fat mass (BFM) with reduced carbohydrate tolerance and hyperinsulinemia was studied in obese subjects with chemical diabetes. These patients were subjected to lipectomy following weight loss induced by a low-calorie, low-carbohydrate diet. An improvement in glucose tolerance and in insulin sensitivity and a reduction in insulin release during OGTT was observed after a diet-induced BFM loss of 9.9 +/-1.2 kg. Subsequent surgical reduction of BFM by 6.0 +/- 0.5 kg had no further effect upon carbohydrate tolerance, insulin release or insulin sensitivity though a marked decrease in basal plasma FFA values was observed. These findings suggest that fat mass enlargement per se has no effect on blood glucose homeostasis after oral or i.v. loading. The improvement in carbohydrate tolerance and in insulin resistance usually observed following diet-induced loss of BFM seems to be due to the reduction in calorie and carbohydrate intake rather than to decrease of BFM.
