UNLABELLED: To determine the effect of acute insulin withdrawal and its subsequent replacement on components of the insulin-like growth factor (IGF)-1 binding protein system and on circulating leptin levels in patients with type 1 diabetes. Seventeen patients (age 31 yr +/-10) with type 1 diabetes treated with continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion (HbA1c 7.6% +/-1.0) were studied. The protocol consisted of two phases: acute insulin withdrawal of up to 8 h followed by a further 2-h period of insulin replacement. For the first phase the basal insulin infusion was stopped (at 0300 h), and for the second a single dose of either regular human or insulin lispro was given subcutaneously (0.2 U/kg). Plasma insulin, glucose, growth hormone, glucagon, IGF-1, free IGF-1, IGFBP-1, -2, -3 and leptin were measured. RESULTS: After interruption of the basal insulin infusion, plasma free insulin levels fell from 60+/-12.0 pmol/L to 10.8+/-4.2 pmol/L, and plasma glucose rose from 5.6+/-0.4 mmol/L to 14.8+/-1.2 mmol/L (P< 0.01). During insulin withdrawal, IGFBP-1 increased by more than 6-fold (from 32+/-8 to 205+/-17 ng/mL, P<0.001), IGFBP-3 increased significantly (from 2631+/-118 to 3053+/-101 ng/mL, P<0.001), and total IGF-1 levels declined modestly (from 226+/-33 to 182+/-26 ng/mL, P<0.001). In contrast, free IGF-1 concentrations (0.72+/-0.22 ng/mL at baseline) were markedly suppressed during insulin withdrawal to values below the detection limit of the assay (0.08 ng/mL) in 15 of the 17 patients (P<0.001). Circulating plasma leptin declined markedly in females from 20+/-3 ng/mL to 11+/-2 ng/mL (P<0.0001) and in males from 10+/-2 ng/mL to 7+/-2 ng/mL (P<0.02). Within 2 h of insulin replacement, the changes in circulating concentrations of IGFBP-1 and IGFBP-3 were partially reversed, and free IGF-1 levels rebounded to 0.54+/-0.22 ng/mL (P<0.1 vs. insulin withdrawal). Growth hormone, glucagon, and IGFBP-2 levels did not change significantly throughout the study. Despite the rapid restoration of plasma insulin and substrate levels, circulating leptin levels continued to fall in the 2-h period after insulin replacement in both females and males. The marked reduction in circulating free IGF-1 after insulin withdrawal and its increase after insulin administration suggest that acute changes in IGFBP concentrations induced by insulin are important regulators of IGF-1 bioavailability in patients with type 1 diabetes. In both males and females, the rapid induction of severe insulin deficiency is associated with a consistent fall in plasma leptin levels.
