Effects of weight loss on substrate oxidation, energy expenditure, and insulin sensitivity in obese individuals

Department of Psychiatry, Helsinki University Hospital, Finland.

To evaluate the effect of weight loss on substrate oxidation, energy expenditure, and insulin sensitivity we studied 12 obese subjects (body mass index 33.4 +/- 1.1) before and after 6 wk of a very-low-calorie diet (VLCD) with euglycemic insulin clamp in combination with indirect calorimetry. Body weight decreased from 105.3 +/- 4.6 to 94.1 +/- 4.0 kg (P less than 0.001) and fat mass from 47.2 +/- 3.6 to 37.7 +/- 3.0 kg (P less than 0.001). Total glucose disposal during insulin clamp increased from 30.4 +/- 4.3 to 38.4 +/- 4.4 mumol.kg lean body mass (LBM)-1.min-1 (P less than 0.05), insulin-stimulated glucose oxidation from 14.3 +/- 4.6 to 19.1 +/- 1.4 mumol.kg LBM-1.min-1 (P less than 0.05), and non-oxidative glucose metabolism from 16.0 +/- 3.8 to 19.3 +/- 3.6 mumol.kg LBM-1.min-1 (NS). Lipid oxidation decreased in the basal state (P less than 0.05) and during the insulin clamp (P less than 0.01). The basal rate of energy expenditure decreased from 99.1 +/- 4.6 to 88.5 +/- 2.7 kJ.kg LBM-1.min-1 (P less than 0.05) after weight reduction. A reduction in fat mass achieved by VLCD is associated with reduced lipid oxidation and, because of substrate competition, enhanced glucose oxidation. The physiological consequence is improved insulin sensitivity.
