Glucose tolerance test in the Ainu
Copyright policy )Glucose tolerance test in the Ainu
In an attempt to find out specific characteristics in carbohydrate metabolism in the Ainu, if any, glucose tolerance test was carried out. Between the Ainu and non-Ainu Japanese no differences were observed in the blood glucose, immunoreactive insulin and human growth hormone levels in the plasma after glucose load. Fasting levels of plasma FFA were significantly lower in the Ainu than in the Japanese. Changes in the FFA after glucose load were less in the Ainu, while the Japanese showed a marked rebound of the plasma FFA.
