CONTEXT: Exposure of the small intestine to nutrients frequently leads to marked reductions in blood pressure (BP ) in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). It remains unclear whether the region of the gut exposed to nutrients influences postprandial cardiovascular responses. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cardiovascular responses to proximal and distal small intestinal glucose infusion in health and T2DM. DESIGN: Double-blind, randomized, crossover design. SETTING: Single center in Australia . PATIENTS: 10 healthy subjects and 10 T2DM patients . INTERVENTIONS: Volunteers were studied on 2 occasions, when a transnasal catheter was positioned with infusion ports opening 13 cm and 190 cm beyond the pylorus. A 30-g bolus of glucose was infused into either site and 0.9% saline into the alternate site over 60 minutes. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: BP, heart rate (HR), and superior mesenteric artery (SMA) blood flow were measured over 180 minutes. RESULTS: Systolic BP was unchanged in response to both infusions in health, but decreased in T2DM, with a greater reduction after proximal versus distal infusion (all P ≤ .01). The increment in HR did not differ between treatments in health, but was greater after distal versus proximal infusion in T2DM (P = .02). The increases in SMA blood flow were initially greater, but less sustained, with proximal versus distal infusion in health (P < .001), a pattern less evident in T2DM. CONCLUSIONS: In T2DM, postprandial hypotension may be mitigated by diversion of nutrients from the proximal to the distal small intestine. © Endocrine Society 2020. All rights reserved.
