Insulin resistance was assessed in vivo using the euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp technique.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Results:<\/jats:italic> Fasting plasma levels of insulin and nonesterified fatty acid (NEFA) in black and white women were 67 \u00b1 5 pM vs. 152 \u00b1 20 pM (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01) and 863 \u00b1 93 \u03bcM vs. 412 \u00b1 34 \u03bcM (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.01), respectively. Euglycemic hyperinsulinemic clamp studies showed that obese black subjects were more insulin\u2010resistant than their white counterparts (glucose infusion rates: 1.3 \u00b1 0.2 vs. 2.2 \u00b1 0.3 mg\/kg per min; <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05). Isolated adipocytes from white women were more responsive to insulin than those from black women with 0.7 nM insulin causing a 55 \u00b1 4% inhibition of isoproterenol\u2010stimulated lipolysis compared with 27 \u00b1 10% in black women (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> &lt; 0.05).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Discussion:<\/jats:italic> The low responsiveness of adipocyte lipolytic activity to insulin in black women in the presence of a relative insulinopenia may account for the high plasma NEFA levels seen in these women, which may, in turn, account for their higher in vivo insulin resistance. High NEFA levels may also contribute to the low insulin secretory activity observed in the obese black females. These data suggest that the pathogenesis of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes within the black obese community is strongly influenced by their adipocyte metabolism.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1038\/oby.2000.18","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,4,15]],"date-time":"2008-04-15T11:31:44Z","timestamp":1208259104000},"page":"171-178","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":21,"title":["Ethnic Differences in the Responsiveness of Adipocyte Lipolytic Activity to Insulin"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"8","author":[{"given":"Ernest P.","family":"Buthelezi","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Maria\u2010Ter\u00e9sa","family":"van der Merwe","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter N.","family":"L\u00f6nnroth","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I.
