This is in line with earlier experimental elevations of plasma amino acids by infusion, which resulted in impaired insulin -
stimulated glucose disposal and insulin - mediated suppression of (hepatic) glucose production (36,37).
Allick et al concluded that it was remarkable that, in the context of diabetes risk, 2 aspects of
glucose homeostasis actually improved after consumption of the high - fat, low - carbohydrate diet: basal endogenous
glucose production decreased, and insulin -
stimulated nonoxidative
glucose disposal increased.
